That is correct, the players are game generated.
Conferences, teams, logos, courts coaches and stats are all real depending on which import you select.
You should have everything real but players. If you are not seeing logos and real teams be sure to read the instructions as you need to choose and "import" based on how much real life data you want your association to have. There are 8 to choose from plus the factory default makes 9. (19_A, 19_B and so forth)
There are two reasons there are no real players.
1. Game generated makes the game slightly random each time you start an association, otherwise things would be the same each time as that is what I saw with the 2016-17 mod I made as the polls were the same each startup. Also I can't always make borderline starters be the starter for every team as the game coach (non human) will make that decision although its not a lot of them, top players always started.
2. The was a historical mod released that had real players for old teams and all the other teams contained the 2016-17 season with real players with real life style play and generated very near real stats. I spent a ton of time creating this (months) and it went nowhere here. There are posts started about the mod in both the 2018 and 2019 versions of the game in the forums. If you look back at the forums only two people cared enough to post and when asked in the forums about updating in the future no one posted (even here in 2019 version). So it was decided to not be worth the time to do again for each year if no one was using it. The Historical mod was for tournament's but it could have easily converted to a start up "Import" for the 2016-17 season at the time as every team that season was completed and only removed a few for the Historical teams. If people want these type mods (Real Players) they need to show some interest by posting in the forum about it when its being brought up or it is assumed there is no interest and no future time spent developing is the result. That's what happened with the first attempt so there hasn't been any development to add real players since as it takes a lot of time to add over 5000 players and mod them to play close to real life.
I was actually surprised how little interest there was in this until I did it.
