you can have a team as a franchise, i love that idea and am running a franchise as san antonio...
but how about a "career mode". instead of a team you are a single player for a career. from your rookie year when you are drafted, the way you play would depend on how much court time you get (if auto subs are on), whether you get traded, released etc. how much money/points/years you get in your next contract.
just like with a franchise there are enless possibilities in a player career mode.
now i always play using autoswitch, never played a game as a single player for the past 6 or 7 years, but id give it a go if i could play a career.
just a thought
