Yeah, I noticed that last night. I don't need to be a 90 OVR or anything, I just want someone that's maybe in the low-mid 80s to start, like a 3rd line forward.
Looks like they scrapped it when they revamped BAP mode. I may just have to try it but I've still read about a few bugs. I'd just hate to go through 1/4 of a season to find out I'm getting sent down even if am top 1-2 on my NHL team in points (happened twice in '15).
My 2nd option of Be-A-GM appears to have a lot of critical (to me) stats still not fixed. I also tried an exhibition game and it does not appear to be possible to player lock, only position lock.
