Man do I hope that it is on Pro. A game looking bad during E-Sports seems to be a prime motivator to get things fixed these days.

NBA Jam was a licensed nba game with player likenesses as well. The problem with esport has nothing to do with realism, only the game exploits. Exploits that can be governed by the 3rd party leagues/tournaments like every other game.

Let us know when you plan and execute your tournaments.
