For a real-world player it's probably great. But for me, it didn't do.
For the basketball games I tried to put instructions in the pro game help section to help further this along. I'm not really quite sure how to make it work better because you have to do certain things in both games to progress them obviously but if you have feedback I'm certainly willing to listen.

As for customization you don't have to open a database file to do it. You can edit any player from within the game (just switch to the commisisoner office in the options screen) - the database option is really if you want to mass edit players at once. You can also customize all the team data within the game too.

You are correct you cannot expand from 8 through 32 - expansion only runs to mirror the way the NBA expanded starting with the merger and you cannot change the number of college teams because it just really opens up a ton of difficulties so yeah there are some limitations as to what can be customized but we do try and give as many options as we can.
