Jeek313's Fictional Draft Classes | Year 7-8 | BEST DRAFT CLASS YET | 2021/04/04

[ignorantfool]

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?

This works. Fantastic work man. By any chance, you have the link for years 2 and 3? Thanks.

Great fictional faces dude!
Do you have screenshot for each players?

Thanks

I downloaded and did all of the steps correctly for the hook, and then downloaded your pack and put it in the mods folder. But when I download the class in the game and go to play a game with the rookies they are invisible?

Man, i love you. Great work

Can you do the same thing for year 2 and year 3 please?

Fantastic work man!

To everyone asking for offline draft classes, please see this post by Dee. He gives a compelling explanation of why piracy is bad for PC 2K users, and I couldn't say it better myself:

If anyone else wants to upload my draft classes and share them here, feel free, I won't be mad. But I'm not going to do it myself.

being one of the veterans of the site, i'm a member since 2005, i'm used to downloading roster files thru the site. old habits i guess. but it's actually easier to download it thru the servers. already downloaded the years 2 and 3. thanks Jeek313 for your work on this.

Can't get this to work at all. Using hook v0.0.5. Put the file in the Mods folder. Draft class doesn't load the player models. Can't load the "edit player" screen at all. Players show up invisible when in game. Where am I going wrong?

Same for me!

Hey, Jeek I was just wondering if you have enough time could you tell me the skin, base hair or beard, or tattoos if there is for the cyber face 17379, the name is Roy Taylor in your draft class because I wanna edit it a little bit in your other tool the cyber face mixer for a project I wanna do but I love the way it was constructed if you could help plz.

[positive_comment_guy]

Does boom bust actually work? I've set players to boom and they're potential still drops even when peak start and end being accounted for and injuries turned off.

I'm honestly not quite sure how it works... I've run some experiments, and I noticed that one of my guys was somehow wired to bust every single time, no matter how I changed his Boom/Bust setting, no matter how high his potential was and no matter how late his peak start was. The only workaround I found was to open him up in NBA2K21Tools and copy all his data onto a different player. You have to do it inside the Edit Player window, because if you copy the whole player outside in the Roster Editor, it will copy him including the (hidden, actual) boom/bust tendency, as far as I can tell.

What's the likelihood you will do year 4?

[blauberg45]

First year players for me invisible, 2 and 3 works fine

[Jeek313]

What's the likelihood you will do year 4?

Pretty high!

[Jeek313]

Year 4 now released, featuring 66 players including long-term rivals Neil Frazier and Luiz Martinez. Happy new year, guys!

See first post for download link.

[Dantello11]

Pretty high!

[Bassman58]

Thanks for the fictional draft classes. I like that the rookies are not rated too high unlike 2K's rookies. Eventually I will get to the point in my season where the draft occurs.

I will and ill look forward to year 5 if you decide to do it.

Just thought I would share how my MyLeague went with your classes. Thanks for these by the way!

I'm in 2026/27 (but need to start over because I started this save before the real NBA draft happened).


I may have changed some names and don't remember.

I'll put this in a spoiler in case someone wants to go into this fresh!

#1 Picks were
Bulls : Drew Dennis - Dennis became an 80 rated kind of bust but kind of not because he puts up 16ppg/8apg. He's just a solid point guard.
Bulls : Wil Braxton - He got super nice and lead to Drew Dennis getting traded after they played 1 season together. Right now he's putting up 24ppg/6apg and is rated an 88
Raptors: Leandro Aguilar - He's also a bit of a bust. A fringe starter, stuck between the 3 and the 4. Is on his 2nd team (Orlando) and is rated about a 79/80. Averages 13ppg in his 4th year.

Other notable stars:
The 7'2 big man in year 1 was a bit OP for my tastes so I lowered his athleticism (also changed his name). He dealt with injuries and is currently a solid 84 rated big in Portland.

Stevie Holcomb is a do it all guard and he was running some point in Indiana. 16ppg / 7apg and is an 82
Paris Hart became an absolute superstar in D.C. Averaging 28ppg/7apg/7rpg and is an 88. He is a true swingman and can play the 1-4 at the same level despite being 6'5.

This is from an earlier version of your class though. My main feedback/note, which you may have addressed, would be there aren't enough 90+ guys. In fact no one became 90+ in this save by '27.

Also, kind of an issue on the 2k side, but waaay too many guys are ending up in the middle range of 75-78. Like 10 or so undrafted guys per year (in addition to most of the 60 players who were drafted) get there before they even get a contract. It messes up free agency, because these undrafted dude all want to get paid before they even play a game. It requires a lot of off season roster editing to solve for.

I would personally make most 2nd round and undrafted player's potential in the 71-73 range to make it so 1st rounders aren't so frequently losing their starting spots to the G League superstars.

I'm pumped to try year 4 in my next save. Thanks!

Do you think you might've started your MyLeague before October 13th? That's when I released the final balance update.

What I did was run a simulation, and at the start of each season I would count the number of guys in the 60-65 OVR range, how many are 65-70, etc. Then I would adjust the OVRs and potentials in my draft class until it became approximately stable, with retiring superstars getting replaced by an appropriate number of maturing young stars, young stars replaced with developing prospects, etc.

The issue with no players reaching 90+ is also something I addressed in that update.

Hopefully your next playthrough will work out a little better! But do let me know if you still feel like changes are needed.

The 7'2 big man in year 1 was a bit OP for my tastes so I lowered his athleticism (also changed his name). He dealt with injuries and is currently a solid 84 rated big in Portland.

The 7'2 big man you're referring to (Bismarck "Bigg" Harris) was actually my attempt at making a bust, a bit of a poison pill. Ramping up his athleticism was one of the things I did to increase his chances getting picked first, BUT:
- I maxed out his Intangibles rating to over-inflate his OVR
- He has a number of glaring weaknesses, including:
- Poor defensive consistency at 33
- Terrible offensive consistency at 25
- Poor shot IQ
- Horrible passing skills
- Weak ball handling - easy to strip of the ball
- His 99 potential shouldn't have a chance to kick in, as his Peak End age is 21
Have you checked his stats? He should be a chucker. His point totals should look good, but he's hurting his team by taking possessions away to shoot fadeaways at a low FG%, and by causing turnovers. His attributes should also start declining early.

Kinda funny that he battled injuries in your playthrough, since durability wasn't supposed to be one of his weaknesses

Anyways the idea was that attentive players would hopefully notice some of his deficiencies when scouting, and they would be rewarded with the actual talent (Paris Hart, Gilbert Stone, Barney Reed, ...) getting pushed one spot lower in the draft where they can snag them. Would you say it worked out for you? Or is it just stupid?
