i think the game could have been made even better if in the Victorian mode, characters like Baron Davis, Earl Watson, Ben Wallace (Big Ben), and Chauncey Billups made appearances, since their names are English sounding or include English titles. 
also, the game could have easily turned players like Ron Artest, Jermaine O'neal, Stephen Jackson, and Carmelo Anthony into bosses, since they've all been involved in fistfights during games. 
also, instead of the chinese pharmacy place, it could have been a Duane Reade run by Dwayne Wade
