It's online! I uploaded it a bit late and I had to rush out to go to work. Sorry wasn't able to post an update here right away.

The name of the file is "RapboY 2015 v1.0" so it's the same as before, you can search by content name with "RapboY" or thru user "wjr_19".

Hopefully you guys enjoy it! If there's any glaring mistake I made then just let me know and I'll update as soon as I can.

I had a blast creating this draft class, even though it did require more than a few sleepless nights lol. I had the most fun with creating the faces and the sig shots. Those are as close to accurate as possible given the system's limitations.

As for Thon, I might actually include him in 2016 class. It's easier to just put him in at the start and just over write him if needed.

Took a deep look.
All I have to say: best class so far.
I wouldn't mind having Okafor with a 78 and Mudiay a 76 with 86-87 potential, though.
The way this project is right now, 15 ends up being a weak class, you know it, right? I understand this class hasn't really been hyped because of Jabari and Wiggins last year, so I'll just assume this was planned.
Nice work, indeed!

Re: RapboY's 2015 Draft Class and CAPs (PS4)

Thanks a lot for the feedback! But yeah 15 is actually a weak class. Besides okafor and Mudiay, there's not really anyone else that jumps out at you.

I'm not against bumping up Okafor, he looks really good and I think he can be really dominant right away in the NBA. But right now I feel like 77 is fair because he's already way ahead in his class, but not so much that there's no reason to pick someone else over him (NBADraft.net has Mudiay over him).

As for Mudiay, I'm really not impressed with what I've seen so far. He forces the issue way too much and his jumper is not really that good yet. I feel like he'll really struggle in the NBA, at least for a season or two. He's really athletic, but not even close to John Wall athletic as some scouts compare him to.

There are a lot of good role players here though and possible All Stars, so it's not a bad class, it's just lacking star power.

I will probably do an update some time around Christmas, there should be enough college games played to see how the prospects perform this year.

So please do voice your concerns and I'll take them into account once I do an update.

Really wish 2k would let us edit tattoos so I can remove his sleeves lol.

I agree with all you've said.
Amazing work.

Great work, I wouldn't start a MyGM or MyLeague without such a well executed class.

Thank you, this must have taken forever and I really appreciate the work.

Regarding the class itself, how did you calculate wingspans? Did you check them manually (in game) or use formulas for body edits?

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Yes it did take forever lol can't believe how much time I spent on this but it's all good

As for the wingspans, I actually did not edit them to be exact. It's more a close approximation, afaik they don't really affect gameplay, so I just want them to look right. I can work on calculating wingspans it's not hard at all, do you personally prefer that over a more aesthetically accurate model? Let me know so I can take it into account for the next update.

Re: RapboY's 2015 Draft Class and CAPs (PS4)

I do really value accurate body measurements (OCD :-P), if it's not time consuming that would be amazing. If you wanted or needed assistance, with anything I'm happy to help.

I'll see what I can do. I actually wanted to do this early on, but when I learned that wingspan has no in game effect, I didn't bother with it anymore lol. Hopefully I can find a good balance of accurate measurements and appearance.

Haven't has too much time to look at the roster but putting in this type of effort is greatly appreciated.

One thing I did try to do was give justice Winslow an Afro but his hair ends up looking like it has an invisible headband on. Is this typical with editing some hair styles and if so does it go to normal in game?

Thanks again...can't wait to test them

It happens, it's a glitch in the game. As far as we know, you can't change it and won't go back to normal.
Truth is, 2K cares more about advertising and all of that than fixing problems.

Re: RapboY's 2015 Draft Class and CAPs (PS4)

Well that's a bummer. Does it happen with every created player...or just randomly?

[RapboY]

Re: RapboY's 2015 Draft Class and CAPs (PS4)

Yes sadly that's the case. I've been asking everyone, but they keep ignoring me once I ask about something I guess they don't want to put effort into. But when you give them praise and whatnot they're quick to respond. That's just the way 2k is. It's as if they want to mess this us.

And yeah some created players in draft classes randomly have invisible headbands and tattoos which you can't edit.
