DPP is in the SS mode games.
After spending more time playing today. I have to say I now prefer importing a player rather than creating. You get better ratings for starters. The OVR is random but you can find a decent 80 to 90. I managed to get a 90 OVR.
If you get drafted by a team you do not care to be on. Simulate the preseason then request a trade. Doing so, you can pick any team you want. From what I can tell it doesn't trade anyone. I was drafted by the Cowboys and requested a trade to the Panthers. No one from the Panthers were traded.
