If you are expecting Brett to hit .905 OPS whenever you get his '77 card, you are going to be frequently disappointed. He will face better pitching than he did in real life, so it's expected on average that he will underperform. Sometimes he will overperform and reach or even exceed his .905 OPS, but most of the time he will not. (An exception might be if you have a super friendly hitter's park along with other hitter-friendly parks in your division.)
I have found, however, in the 60s game, my hitters perform closer to their real life numbers. I'm assuming because the talent pool of really good pitchers (and hitters for that matter) isn't as deep.
