How about making a exclusive game for 1 player (or an option in Live 200X?????
You start as a rookie, with limited rating points, choose your name, school, birthaday, etc... everything from "Create-a-Player".
With your rating, you're assigned a projected draft position, and, of course, a team drafts you (unless you're really bad

In your rookie season, you have to train hard to have the coach's confidence, and hopefully be in the starting line-up.
After your first, seaason, according to your stats, the CPU decide if you develope into a greater player, or your ratings decrease and become a bench-warmer.
After the third year, (end of the contract) you decide if your gonna leave, stay, sign-and-trade, etc.
Well, after that, keep playing, try to get the MVP, the Championship, etc, and in the end, a cart will display all the stuff you have won ("achiviements", that's correct????), and in every off-season you can choose retirement or not.
That's the whole idea, if you want to put other things that could help this idea, post it.
And please, no flame to me.
