Can you add some fictional high school prospects then, like Branny Jr and Mickey Williamson?

[TGsoGood]

LMAO

[mckagan22]

LOL what a comment !

Like TG said, I'm keeping it strictly fictional, so I'm not going to do that, BUT -- You can easily insert them yourself! Don't forget that draft classes are fully editable. Modders have made cyberfaces for both guys, and TGSoGood has made a tutorial for assigning cyberfaces in 2K21 (link). Good luck and have fun

Have you installed the NBA 2K21 Hook with External File feature (link)? Are other modded faces working?

I haven't tested V0.0.5 of the hook yet, but V0.0.4 works for me.

Update: 2020/10/01
Small update to the cyberface pack (v0.91 - download link is in the first post)
- Changed Barney Reed's head shape and added a beard model.
- Chao Bass is now bald.

Barney Reed was my MyPlayer back in 2K12, so he was one of the first players I wanted to make for this draft class. However, I wasn't quite happy with how his cyberface turned out (here's the before for comparison). After these edits, he finally looks like the intimidating defensive anchor that he's meant to become (after a few years in the league)!

Appreciate your work

i put everything in the mods folder but the faces dont show up when i download the draft class

offline files will not work if you don't have the game updated (including update sync.bin). So you need the steam version of the game

[Jeek313]

Update: 2020/10/06
YEAR 3 IS NOW AVAILABLE! If you've already downloaded year 1 or 2, be sure to re-download the cyberface pack - there are new faces. See first post for download link.

Would you guys be interested in seeing little snippets of information about the fictional players in the draft (such as fake news articles, discussions, interviews, college photos, ...)?

I will make some if enough people vote yes in this poll:

The articles are dope. Not sure if you have yet but I would love if you put up some smoke screen articles too. Like some 2nd round level bust being touted as the next LeBron James because he's 6'8" 250...

[Jeek313]

I would love if you put up some smoke screen articles too.

I'd like to keep the info mostly reliable - there might be bits of false information here and there, but it should be easy to spot if you pay attention.

The cool thing though is that the game will decide which information is accurate and which isn't, because I've left most players' boom-or-bust setting on random. So it should be fully possible that anyone can look like a bust and then blossom after switching teams (like Tyson Chandler), or they can have a Linsanity-like period and then fade into the background.

Balancing update. I have run some MyLeague simulations to analyze how well the draft classes retain the league's landscape in terms of talent distribution, and I've made adjustments accordingly.

No changes to the cyberface pack, the update affects only the in-game draft class downloads.

[jerrygildner]

I just wanted to say thx again man really loving the new faces your doing a great job!

[TGsoGood]

killing it

[Jeek313]

Thanks a lot, guys!

Balancing update. No changes to the cyberface pack, the update affects only the in-game draft class downloads.

The previous update was successful in preventing the draft classes from pushing too many high-quality established players into free agency; however, none of my players seemed to be able to reach a 90+ OVR.

In a few seasons, aging stars would leave a vacuum at the top of the league, and nobody was able to step up and fill the void. No matter what I tried (higher potential, later peak start, even the boom/bust setting), most of the drafted players would only make progress in their first season. After their first season, their potential would jump down to their current OVR.

I'm still not sure what caused it, but was been able to fix it by copying the players' full data onto new players, using looyh's roster tool. Plenty of my players are reaching high 80s now, some exceed the 90 mark.

More balancing changes might come in the future, but after this update, I'm already pretty happy with how it plays out. I'll keep playing and see if anything needs changing

Regarding this I found a workaround as I'm an offline user and the statement above is correct that u need the update files like sync.bin for the roster/dc to boot up properly. Installing patch updates manually can be a solution as I've tried to load up the draft class files for offline and it did work properly to come along with the cf. You can find roster update and patches through shuajota or 2kspecialist with the Official 2k updates for sync.bin file.

As an offline user the game really is not that enjoyable as it would've been online cause like what 2k said that their game mostly is composed of online features and microtransactions with percentage roughly around 80% of the game.

That's why I appreciate works like this in the modding community and I wish that roster/draft class makers can upload their dc or roster like the old school way of modding. I honestly think the offline community needs more modding nowadays to be more entertaining.

What the offline community needs is to buy the game.

[JigSaw_96]

is there anyway you can post the offline download for the roster draft class itself?

Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/bpid9eph6u4l9u8/DraftClass0001/file

I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure if any other files are needed, hell I'm not even sure if this is the right draft class Let me know if it works

Hi Jeek, Thanks a lot for your work on this. Appreciate the attention to detail and the amazing faces. I got this to work with the offline version after downloading your faces pack.

Is it possible for you to upload all the draft class files like this?

[alvmren]

Can i use this on myleague and load it as draft class like for year 2021 2022 2023?
