Real 2018 Draft Class - Released

Goods just made this https://youtu.be/DY7AIL5-pV4

You can but only names cyber faces and measurements

Is it possible to make this draft for the gm mode ?
so we could play the story mode and draft the players?

I have not played the new MyGm mode. Is there no option to load draft classes like there is in MyLeague?

No its Not its a draft Class from 2k.. you dont have options to load a new draft class

Don't want to be pushy but are we getting close to a release?

Don’t wanna speak for bluejaybrandon
But I will say this, production has picked up a lot on this project so just stay tuned my man

It’s all good, I understand the frustration. This project has been on-going for some time. I don’t mean to continually hype it, but this is the most ambitious draft class project in next-gen 2k. No more drafting generic CAP faces with real prospect names. You’re guaranteed a full year of real drafted players that will progress naturally. This takes tons of time and many of us have responsibilities outside of modding.

We are very close to a release. One major issue is that May 30 is the withdrawal deadline. This means that the draft could be drastically different from the class we’re putting out so adjustments may need to be made. I thank everyone for their understanding.

Is the class that you have on steam, the most up to date draft class that you have so far?

No. The draft class hasn’t been pushed live for over a month.

can i download?

can i download?

No. It has not been released. Just to clarify, when the project goes live it will be on 2k share with the content as a separate download on this site.

I assume from your previous posts that you're very close to release this bad boy Are you still working on players attributes, tendencies etc. or just on cyberfaces and graphics? If you're done with players skills can you upload draft class on 2k share? I know I'm asking for that second time, but I just can't wait to see Porter Jr. in my Bulls squad (can you imagine that? )

Great project. Keep it up!

Unfortunately, yes there are still attributes and tendencies to updated. This is because as cyberfaces are made for players, I edit their attributes to make them fit in their proper draft position. Then I have to tweak others to make sure the order remain somewhat consistent.

As you said, it is nearing completion. At this time last year, I had already completed the draft class project, but this project is just so much more ambitious.

I understand it takes a lot of effort to change ratings/tendencies, but if you really wanted to make a version with more accurate ratings (not making them fit draft position) that would be awesome too. Personally I control all 30 teams, I don't know how many others do but it does take away the worry of inaccurate draft positions.

Either way, this is awesome. I've always had something like this in mind when thinking about draft classes, but I don't have the time anymore to continue learning how to make cyberfaces or to edit everything else. Thanks a lot.

Well the ratings will be accurate regardless. The “intangibles” rating is bumped to change overall and thus draft position. So regardless, players will player like their real life counterparts

I do wish there was an option for projected pick range because every time I made a draft class in the past it’s hard to line up the draft position

release this week? great work btw!

release this week? great work btw!

Unlikely. I’ve had some personal setbacks and regardless, we don’t even know who’s in or out of the class. We’ll focus on getting those players that are a certainty. Getting close though.

I know you guys are getting anxious about this draft class but asking for release will, get this, NOT make brandon work harder to release this.

Huge Thanks to MonkeymanJSV for his continued excellence!

Looks dope

I want to attempt an Isaac Bonga cyberface and portrait in the next couple of days (not saying it's going to look good lol). Has he already been done for this project?

I also have years of experience with graphics editing programs so if players still need portraits I can handle that too. Super excited for this project!

Monkeyman you the real MVP! Those cyberfaces are amazing!

Isaac Bongo has not yet been made but I had anticipated making him. I'd love to see what you can accomplish.

Okay cool . Like I said, I'm hoping in the next couple of days I will have time to attempt this. Fingers crossed for the result lol.

Awesome work so far btw!

So we have been talking and it looks like release is coming up soon. Currently the class sits just past 50 custom players complete with cyberfaces, tattoos, portraits, attributes and tendencies. The only hurdle left will be removing players that withdraw from the draft at the deadline. There will be a full write up but I want to thank everyone involved in the project either directly or indirectly. I also want to thank all of you for your dedication to this project. This forum has over 30,000 views which blows my mind.

This is an incredibly ambitious project but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you can see the hard work that went into; it truly was a group effort. I'm not promising perfection, but I can promise it will deliver where no other draft class will. This isn't some thrown together compilation of rushed faces. My hope is that this class lasts with you as you play your MyLeague and feels like a natural continuation of what 2k produced. I'll be posting preview videos soon so stay posted for that. We are nearing the home stretch and barring any unforeseen complications, you will be playing with the Real 2018 Draft Class by the end of the month.
