You expect all of us to trust and/or wait for your company to only ever update all of these things instead, and you trust that it will meet everyone's approval? What's the legal difference between your fake recruits generated compared to any we could come up with (idiot or prank names aside) ? If I make a teambuilder team, which always removes another team in the game, then how is that any different regarding "editing," since that is beyond negating an entire team of NIL kids and their stats to beyond zero? That's removing their existence and participation completely, correct? If I can change any team to play in any conference suddenly, then isn't that directly affecting stats, ratings, any NIL player's chosen preference to where they are? More importantly, if changing a school in or out of conferences therefore forces any single NIL player to transfer away from that school, isn't that possibility of seeing the eventual video of their name in a school uniform that they themselves and/or their actual school that they play for (in real life) make for a possibly messy, angry, litigious situation ??? I'm being serious this time. I can absolutely see any of these things being why / what tanks this game, if the powers that be can't just chill out and let fiction be fiction. Let a game be a freaking game, in full. I get being wary of some things, but that shouldn't make your ability to reason, use common sense or apply logic just completely shutdown and get tossed out the window.

I doubt we get many concrete answers to these unless someone shares the exact wording of the NIL agreement. But I reckon that in 2026 when revenue sharing comes in, the players will likely have formed a union. It's the logical next step, so when that happens EA will have a union to bargain with like they do with NFL/NHL and that would open the doors for us to have a lot more autonomy in game. So maybe you guys are just gonna have to wait a couple years if this really kills the game for you.
