After hours/months of research on these guys, this is my true opinion of the future success of these prospects in the pros...

- Anthony Davis is obviously head and shoulders above all the other prospects this year, and everybody will really know about it in a few years. I see him becoming a superstar. We're talking about a future hall of famer here imo. 20ppg, 10rpg, 3bpg, 2 apg, in his prime?
- The expectations about MKG, Beal, seem in the right place to me. They'll be good starters one day with an outside shot at being all-star
- I know everyone thinks Cleveland did the wrong thing by reaching for Dion Waiters, but i see him becoming an all-star in the future for sure.
- I think Thomas Robinson will be a bust. Jordan Hill v2.
- Damian Lillard looks like he'll be a solid starter-quality PG in the league.
- I don't see Harrison Barnes being as good as everybody thinks. 3rd scoring option for his career.
- Andre Drummond will never be a star. He might be a solid starter though, but he's got a long way to go.
- Austin Rivers will be a bust in my mind. All he can really do is score, nothing else, which doesn't project "star" to me. His ceiling is a 6th man Jamal Crawford type in my mind. I would have rated his potential lower but i knew everybody would crack the shits. His mental capacity is wired for success though so maybe he will prove me wrong.
- Meyers Leonard = bust. Maybe a rotation regular in his prime.
- Jeremy Lamb should be a solid starter-quality SG in this league some day.
- John Henson is a safe pick. Not gonna be a star or anything but he'll definitely contribute.
- Tyler Zeller will be nothing special in my mind.
- Terrence Jones will be a steal for rockets at #18.
- Andrew Nicholson i think is a top 10 talent in this draft. I should've rated him higher. I think he'll be a good starter in the league. He's got the whole package for a PF.
- Evan Fournier i think will suprirse people and become an amazing player in a few years.
- Jared Sullinger is obviously a steal at #21. He'll be a solid starter in the league.
- Fab Melo will be nothing special.
- Tony Wroten has the tools to be a star, but needs to develop fundamental skills first. D-Leaguer with the potential at stardom if he works hard. Heaps of raw talent.
- Miles Plumlee will be a career bench warmer.
- Jeff Taylor will be a solid rotation regular in the league.
- Jae Crowder will surprise people i think. I see him becoming a starter in the league for sure. I would have rated him higher but he was getting drafted in the lottery in 2k12 with my true ratings.
- Draymond Green. Should be a productive role player. Nothing less, nothing more.
- Quincy Miller is a steal, but everybody knows that.
- Will Barton is another steal, who i think will be even better than Quincy. I see Barton as a future starter in the league, and maybe even an all-star. I would've rated him higher but i didn't want him getting drafted in the lottery in 2k12 in my patch.
- Tyshawn Taylor could be a steal if he can learn the art of being a point guard. It could go either way though.
- Doron Lamb, Kim English, Marcus Denmon... and maybe Johnson-Odom... all will be solid role players.
- Kris Joseph, Khris Middleton, Darius Miller, Quincy Acy, will not have long NBA careers.


^ Just my opinion.



haha i agree with all your opinion nick

thomas robinson is a bust didnt even rebound the ball lol and anything

ive tested and drafted Trob,terrence jones,beal sullinger and liliard

sullinger and terrence jones are one of the best i think to play with 2k12
sullinger always get the rebound and jones is super atlethic flying for the dunk :D

about beal a good player but not that good for playing in my asso when i created one..

many thanks to you nick.

GOOD JOB!!! :applaud:

Hey Nick !
I was wondering, which player you still need cyberface for, for your nictional draft 2 ? I'm working on a Deron Williams type of player right now, and am willing to do a lot more, just ask.
By the way, don't you think that the nictional draft 1 first round players could all have cyberfaces, as they are a lot of fictional cf released at the moment ?

Great work on the 2012 draft class !

Roster Merge can do what you want phigar, as long as you have the required REditor license to open Draft Class files.

Hey Nick great draft classes. Been using them since ever. I have a question. Could I use your report card for Nictional Draft Class 1.1 in my Dynasty I will start writing?

Go for it. What's the link to your dynasty? I'd be interested to follow it if you're using these prospects.


Thanks man. Here it is -> viewtopic.php?f=73&p=1534352

I'm also using your prospects in my Association Story Nick (link in the sig). Haven't done a rookie report yet, but your report card should come in handy later on.

I'm definitely trading for first 5 picks when draft night comes. It would be nice to snatch Reynolds or Hansen. With Reynolds I would have three amazing Big Man and with Hansen I could go big and have Rudy starting as my Shooting Guard.

Hey Nick, i would like to know which of my cyberfaces you are going to use in you nictional class 2, as i'm working myself on a fictional draft class. I would also like to know if i could reclaim the rights to put "Paul Robinson" (Mcguire in your draft class 1) in my draft class. I would of course create a cyberface to replace him. And if you want me to create a face for a specific player for your draft class just ask, i'd be happy to continue to work with you :)

I will let you know within the next 2 days, as i am going through the selection process right now. (it takes a while as sometimes the faces look different than they do in people's previews)

As for "Paul Robinson", just use him. Unfortunately i wont be re-releasing another version of NDC1. If you really want to use him that bad, then just double up and hope nobody notices, lol. Either that or just use use paul robinson privately. Up to you.

I wouldn't have a clue, sorry. The names are fine for me and everyone else so far.

Anyone else have this problem?

There's some glitch that happens once in a while with some names depending on the roster you started the Association with. I had to correct one player's name (Bill Daily was Bill ?????) but once I did that, never happened again. My guess is it wouldn't happen with the default 2K roster, or it could be a bug in REditor(?). Not really sure.

When, you ask? Right now!!

NICTIONAL DRAFT CLASS v2.1 w/ realistic faces
Carefully crafted fictional prospects for association mode, so that you don’t have to rely on the generated draft classes. I have meticulously created/edited nearly every single player in this draft class. The idea is to make unique & specifically molded players (both in terms of the stars of tomorrow and the role players of tomorrow), while being mindful of overall draft class and how it'll affect the overall BALANCE of the league in future years. Hopefully it makes association modes more REALISTIC and interesting.

Included in this pack:
- Comprehensive internal player edits, such as: attributes, tendencies, animations, hotzones, hotspots, vitals, accessories, playtypes, potentials, bodytypes, etc
- The top 16 prospects get a realistic looking fictional cyberface.
- A scouting report of the top prospects included in zip file.
- All names should have the commentator say their name.
- Player age stays relevant to the year/season the draft class is loaded. I.e. will work for ANY year/season.

1.1 and 2.1 have different faces because they have different players. They are different draft class patches...

Dear everybody,
I think i'm done with modding for 2k12. Got a lot on my plate, life-wise. You know how it is. I hope everybody enjoyed the draft classes. I put about 200 hours into them all in total (and only 3 to show for it :lol: ). But i enjoyed every second.

Also considering there was basically zero response to NDC2, it made me realise that i'm misplacing my creative outlets, and need to focus on real life things.

There will however be more for 2k13. :)
