Hi, I’m really interested in getting historic draft classes for nfl 2k5. I’m looking to get them past 2011 though an I’m willing to make them myself but my question to you is, how do you make these? I’d really love to know so I can help out and make some more of them. But I’m not sure how you do it. So help on this would be amazing if you can tell me.

The Game allows you to do this with the 'Edit Rookies' feature in Franchise mode (ESPN.com-> Rookie Report). You can do this once the playoffs begin.

You can also edit the Draft class in Finn's editor and in NFL2K5Tool.
But (for now) I think it's probably best to edit in game; we can export the data with NFL2K5Tool and in Finn's editor.

Editing Rookie names is a problem for the external editors because the rookie names end up being shared with other players (most of the time). I think it's also possible to run out of space if you add too many names.

Thank you for the draft classes!

I just started doing all this editing myself, then decided to scrap it since you had already done most of the work, haha. I will say I've run into trouble with the name-edit limit. After importing the draft class into my franchise, I did some in-game editing on some of the players that got changed (e.g. "Cadillac" Williams became Roy Williams, or something).

Unfortunately, after finishing the HBs and WRs, I hit the limit - "There isn't enough room left in this roster to edit any more names." Does anyone know a workaround? I've searched all over but I couldn't seem to find anything definitive. I tried one of the import/export tricks though it still didn't work.

I should mention I'm playing on PC using the PS2 emulator PCSX2. I still have the game on the original XBOX, but I find it more convenient to use my PC instead of trying to setup another game system. I didn't know if the XBOX suffers from the same limits as the PS2 version, and perhaps that's the better route to take.

Anyway, thanks for your help! And all the work you did. A shame we can't take advantage of it because of name limits.
