It's actually CHEAPER to create generic, random rosters than to go through and make everyone match their real-life counterparts.
To avoid running afoul of likenesses, yes you might still create a database of player numbers, heights, and weights, and as you generate players you just check for a conflict and adjust one of those (or all of them).
