I'm with aholbert on this. I mean all you have to do is go into these forums around the time the game comes out and look at the people complaining about the ratings of certain players. It's not a direct likeness but so many things match up that it's totally obvious that the player is based on a real person.

Put yourself in the shoes of the athletes. Were that you would you think that the character in the game had nothign to do with you ? I don't disagree that it's all about money thiough. Anymore, what in life doesn't seem like it comes down to money.

Totally randomize, jersey numbers, skin color, height, weight, etc. As long as people can still edit rosters and whatnot and not sell them for money they will. And then the players lose there argument,
