hidden attribute -
1. big time performer - some player appear to preform better/ worse in cup and playoff games(may also be due to strength of opponent)
2. self-confidence - its more like form , when a player get a good game, he tend to maintain it. whereas a bad shooting game carry a little over to the next game. for example, my mvp got a good start last season, and he kept it though out the season, whereas this year he still haven't break out.

experience
i think is more relate to a player choosing what to do when he have the ball. The 3 basic action in basketball, or in this game is passing, shooting & driving. passing have 4 option(teammate) to pass to, driving have left or right or how u layup, shooting have difficult fadeaway, power in, bank in, hook shot, off screen quick relase...
A player's skill set allow the action to preform, but the experience allow the player to have a better estimate of each actions successful rate, or eliminate those low successful rate beforehand

this is the actual quote from bbcharles about hidden attributes

2. Players do have a hidden personality that you will discover as they play, and a part of this is that some players prefer more physical play than others. More physical players will tend to both draw and commit more fouls.

"a part of this" - this means that there is more that is hidden than just the physical attribute

what else i have no idea, but i am part of a LONG and HUGE game shape study and some players seem to like a lot more minutes than others for good GS...

Yeah, I have had that idea aswell. How about the concept of being able to invest some of your own scouting points to gain a little insight about your players? I think it´s a bit strange that you cannot get any detail about their "hidden" stuff beside pure speculation.
