Agree with Syd that hot and cold streaks are part of the game, and thus glad (in a masochistic way) to have that realism in OOTP. Actually, though, it's a fact that some players are more "streaky", while others are consistent, day in and day out. Not sure but I would bet that an algorithm could be developed for that? Not sure the view would be worth the climb. And it's really more complex, in that players can and do change over their careers, becoming more or less (usually less) consistent. And of course "speed never takes a day off" - unless the player has a sore quad or something. In the game, I'll deal with hot and cold by obtaining an updated scouting report, a day off, moving up and down in the lineup, ultimately a trade.
