Just some minor things...I don't totally agree on all of your position related stuff but will take many into consideration. For example, I really don't see Giles as a 5 at the next level. Another thing is that because the wingspans are measured by a slider, it makes getting those accurate to be a challenge but I will try. Thanks for all this information and I'll be sure to throw a credit your way for V3.


I figured that about the wingspans, I never really could tell how to get them accurate.

I don't think Giles will be a 5 at the next level, he just doesn't have the skills to really play the 4 at the NBA level in my opinion (at least not now). I think it's just a matter of his bounce returning. I feel a similar way about Adebayo too minus the bounce part.

Another thing I think would be cool is to add some of the pre-existing injuries to guys like OG and Sumner (I don't know how much time they'll miss).

I do like your ratings for the most part, I think some guys are a little too high but that's just based on my personal rankings of the prospects. I always hated classes that have everyone at 85 overall so this is great.

No need to give me credit either, I didn't add anything I just compiled a bunch of updated info and added some opinions to it lol. Thanks though, can't wait to see the new update!

I will certainly try to get the wingspans as accurate as possible.

As for the injuries, I had injuries added initially but the issue is that when actually used in-game, the injuries tank the overall of those players. In real life, OG's overall may be hurt because of his injury but he's still potentially a late lottery pick. I don't think that can't be replicated in the game.

One request - Is it possible to use a smaller body model for Fultz? It seems like his head is a little smaller for his body. Thanks!


While I agree, I was unfortunately not the creator and I'm not skilled in that department so I'm at the mercy of a talented cyberface or body modder on these forums.

I will try for tonight. It's gonna be a pretty big update so we shall see.

Edit: I'm not sure I'll be able to get it tonight as work is pilling up.

The next update will include removing anyone returning to school and adding those relevant players who have declared/are mocked. I will have added an additional 14 players with portraits included, along with the Lonzo Ball cyberface. I have also fixed most of the measurables.

Agreed, but as I've said before I'm unsure how to create cyberfaces. I'm at the mercy of those with that talent and there is very little interest in Draft Prospect cyberfaces by both creators and consumers. Hopefully this changes as the draft approaches but we shall see.

I have, as he's the one that created the awesome, first several faces in this class. But he's taken a break from modding/has been very busy. I'm not trying to be too pushy with creators. I've PM'd every major cyberface creator on here man. Even offered to donate to them. Sorry to say that the interest is not there.

I am not very knowledgeable in the CF department either or I'd be more than happy to create some. I could help with portraits but you seem like you've got that pretty much taken care of.

Thanks man. Yeah cyberface creation seems to be the weak link of the NBA 2k17 community right now. Don't get me wrong, the ones we do have making cyberfaces are incredibly talented but there's so few that the drought between cyberface releases of any kind seems to constantly grow. I look at like even NBA 2k14's community and there are so many creators pumping out content. One individual created a 2017 draft class with like 20+ cyberfaces. Just unfortunate that that kind of talent hasn't migrated over and produces content like that for 2k17.

As for the portraits, I appreciate it but yeah I'm basically done with the last major additions regarding portraits. From there it will just be minor fixes to the portraits I'm not a fan of. If you're willing to go through V3 when it's released later this week and check on all the measurables like you did for the guys in V2, I would really appreciate it. I like being as close to realistic as I can.

I can definitely do that. I did find some resources to begin learning about creating cyberfaces so maybe I could try my hand there even. Of course I am a beginner so they probably wouldn't reach the level of quality needed to actually use, but you never know.

Hey I usually just play on 2K14 but I just finally got 2K17 LOL

So I downloaded the draft class files through those links you provided on the original post, so I am so confused (sorry I am new to 2K17 file stuff), where do I put the files? Because all the %appdata% stuff looks way different... I assumed I put the files there but when I start a MyLeague and I go to load a draft class the file isn't there. I know I am doing something wrong, if anyone can tell me where to put the files that'd be dope LOL

For the actual draft class, you need to download the draft class on 2k share. That information is also provided in the description of this thread.

The files/content downloaded through this thread is put in the "Modded" folder.

Oh I see, sorry still a bit confused LOL

So the downloads on this thread are just to enhance the actual draft class I need to download from 2K share?

Also where is the Modded folder? I do not have one, so I assuming I create one? In %appdata%, Program Files (x86)? Sorry I only know 2K14 modding

Thanks for replying though!

You won't need to do anything with the app data section for modding really.


Download this: NBA 2K17 External File Plugin

It will give you the Modded folder where you will put any files downloaded. Copy everything to the NBA2k17 folder within Steam

The draft class itself is on 2k share under my name: "2017" by "bluejaybrandon"

The downloads on this thread are the assets to complete the draft class. They are cyberfaces, tattoos, and portraits. Without them the draft class will have incorrect faces and portraits. Once you've downloaded these files, put them in the new Modded folder along with any other mods you like.

I can try to go into more detail if you need on some parts but it had been awhile since I've done any of this so I may need to run through it myself lol

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

On a related note for anyone interested, The V3 Update will be out Friday, June 2, 2017. It will bring the total to 77 players, all of which are actually in the 2017 NBA Draft. Several of the CAP cyberfaces have been reworked and improved. All the previous draft class measurables will be updated. There's tons of little updates that I'll post when the newest version is released.

I saw that video and its incredibly helpful for the community. All of the cyberfaces you and R4zoR make will be integrated into the draft class but for those wanting to add other faces I'm sure it will be helpful.

As for the DeAaron Fox cyberface, you made my week!

Could you help me out a little with creating the CFs? I don't need you to make a video tutorial or anything, I'm just not sure how to edit them properly.

I watched your video on importing to blender to edit the bodies but I am not exactly sure how to do the same with faces.

Or am I supposed to just do it in Photoshop?
