As a indie developer myself, I completely respect the reality of needing them to be all one game purely from a human resources perspective, but I hope that trying to do it all in one package doesn't harm the pro game. I think cleverly designed ways to dial the college game-within-the-game down to whatever level the pro player wants to deal with it (and vice versa for college players) would be crucial to keeping the experience top notch. I don't want to be overwhelmed by an aspect of my football universe that I don't want a lot to do with.

That said, there are tremendous advantages to having the universe all in one game/database. You can have on-going college storylines and by the time a player gets drafted you can have watched their entire college career, which is very cool.
