'NBA 2K10' taking rookies through 'Draft Combine'

Publisher 2K Sports will release a downloadable title allowing users to create a player and bolster their skills ahead of the release of NBA 2K10.
The game titled NBA 2K10: Draft Combine arrives in September for about $5 on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
Users will create a custom player and work with a mentor to improve their skills in a variety of drills and 5-on-5 games.  Users will have 300 different customizations to choose from, such as physical features and shooting animations.

Custom players can then be transferred to the full NBA 2K10 game for use in the new My Player mode.  Users can also track their progress against others through online leaderboards.
The feature seems to follow a common trend in sports games, where users can create their own player and guide them through a superstar career.  Electronic Arts has made this a regular staple in some of their titles, such as Madden NFL and the NHL series.  The key difference here, of course, is users paying to build up their player before the game arrives.
Readers, what do you think of the Draft Combine?
