This mode is pretty easy to do in regards to its foundation, I dont know why potentially they have to make it harder on themselves and make it less enjoyable. The key to a mode like this is options. Endless options. You flood the user w/ options. You dont restrict them in a story you can only play once with binary good guy/bad guy options that really dont change the story.

You give a player pre-draft workouts, the draft, the season, offseason activites as the base. But you load up o options such as growing your player's personality, what exact skills he has, endorsement deals from shoes to local, to and more engaging social media platform. But you dont (like we saw last year) give a story in which you limit yourself through the same lines recorded (w/ terrible acting) from a player on every team.

If I want to bring in my own roster, you let me. Matter of fact, you dont even need voice acting. It would make it shiner, but this mode, or modes like it doesnt need it. The experience and value comes from making a player your own and giving him the experience any NBA gets to have.
