Have never confirmed nor denied such rumors tbh. If there were secret attributes, they would be secret, no?
Though yes, random situations could appear to make one player play better than another from time to time, and certain skill combos might work better than others.

Nope, I've never said had and fast either way. Maybe these things exist, maybe they don't, or maybe I think it would be interesting to add someday so I don't want to officially strike it off the possibility list by giving a hard answer...
Also, even if an "attribute" were "hidden" like you describe, it doesn't mean you wouldn't be able to affect it somehow. Just sayin'.

OK, so you can confirm that there is nothing in place behind the scenes that pre-determines one player will always, say, run a route faster, block better, or throw more accurately than another player with the same exact skills, SA's, VA's, and equipment? If there is/ever will be something behind the scenes, it'll be like what you describe there, to make things more random?

I agree that any "hidden" stuff is or will be random like I'm talking about. I think game to game and play to play randomness to be very important and interesting ideas, that mirror real life events. Sometimes players show up for the game, other times don't for whatever reason. Abilities to affect those factors are my favorite ones, actually. I love the streaky ability, though it might need some updates to work less all or nothing. I also like clutch. Some players tend to come up big more often in real life.
