Yeah, it's mostly just wanting to see the next big stars in the game. Sure they could just update the rosters for more than just during one year, but then they wouldn't make more money. They do add little things every year and one big element every few years, but really, if they didn't stop the updates, no one would be buying these games annually.
For myself, I actually used to play hockey and I actually used to be pretty good, but any hopes of a career ended with a knee injury when I was 13. Yes, I do create myself in the game and play a career mode as the position I used to play. I know it's sad and I know it's lame, but I guess it's a chance for me to virtually do what could have been, what I could never do now. Isn't that, in the end, what the big hook of RPGs is? The complete immersion, to do what you could never actually do?
It's weird to think of it that way, but yes, when you play these sports games in a career type mode, they ARE RPGs. You gain points to adjust your stats, get new equipment, train. It's an RPG.
