Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

Aight man I see ya point, natural part hair is kinda off n I guess buzz med is the closest but what bothers me bout buzz is the sideburns not many black ppl have them sideburns

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

dude i know it's awful huh!!! Considering most the NBA is black, and they don't really have a decent hair for even the most popular black hairstyle nowadays. 2k screwed it.. I fixed brandon knight tho.. i dont know why i put that gotee on him.. I think my brother said he had one or something. last time i listen to him.. good looking out bro!

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

have you looked at straight short yet it seems a little better doesnt have long sideburns, n can you maybe consider changing sullinger's goatee to 12 instead

EDIT: If it is okay with you I would like to do some players appearance myself because some are hard to explain also get back to me bout the straight short hair n tell me what ya think.

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

Straight short is a white persons hair. how do i know this? look at straight medium and straight long.... i can see 12 for sullinger... ur free to edit a draft class

So is it okay for me to do the appearances now then pizzel get the DC from me or should i wait for him to do the ratings first

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

idk talk to him dude... my class is done as far as i know.. if u wanna tweak somethings for urself thats fine..but im not gonna nitpick everything. Im going to finish 2012, 2013, etc.. but it sounds like he is done with 2011 as well for a while.. dude there is like 5 draft classes were working on.. im not going to obesses over minor details in head shapes for somewhere around 300 CAPS

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

Hey, Pizzel here. I am recovered from the weekend now. For now I am going to leave 2011 alone for a bit. We will wait and see around the end of the season to who stays and goes. Then there will probably be some major moving guys around 2011 and 2012. But for now I am happy with the ratings, potential and now appearances for 2011.

Agreed on the no nitpicking. There is too much to do to obsess over some small things. Our goal with these is to be near spot on for looks and ratings, then if people want to edit their own thing, cool.

I am going to take some more looks at the later draft classes tonite. 2013, 2014,2015 and a 2016. I have to make sure no doubles are in the last 2. Then I am going to tweak some ratings some more. After 2 sim tests the 5 classes are vastly improved ratings wise. Still a few too many guys sit in the FA pool that shouldn't.

I will post updates here from now on. Will update my original thread as well.

Right now we have one collaberation done.. That being the 2011 class. Its ratings are great. With the collab. done, so are the appearances as well. I will be working on 2012 appearances. Im close to halfway done. But, if ur just liking ratings, Pizzel has up to 2015, possible 2016. All real players, and good ratings! The thing is if u dont get my collab, the players don't look right. So for 2011 is the only somewhat official one that is done. The rest will be done at some point though.. We are trying to move at a somewhat rapid rate with great quality as well.

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

OK. I have uploaded 2013-2016 classes on 2k share. I named them PIZZEL year and 2.0

Significantly reduced the amount of players 70 overall. 9-15 depending on class. I have tweaked ratings and potentials about as much as possible without making almost everyone really dumb on awareness. Almost all rookies will have around a C potential for 1st rds. Top 5 guys may be a B awareness. Lower round guys are worse. This had to be done so the CPU doesn't automatically start these guys over current people. Will probably still happen but this should help the league overall team ratings.

Saiint I uploaded them all to 2k share. For Easy access and organization name them "Saiint Pizzel Collab plus year 3.0" then date, class, year and notes about being sim with good appearance in description. As long as there is space. That way when someone searches the file or name it should be near the top of list. Plus rate them high as well.

Thanks for all the hard work. I am not sure how you are going to find pics of all the guys in the later classes, but it sounds like your specialty. I'd say as long as 2013 and 2014 done I will be happy. I guess you can chip away at your leisure.

BTW I tried to edit Tony Wrotens appearance in 2013. In the game I watched a few days ago he was wearing long pants and a knee brace on the knee he had surgery on. I don't think you can put 2 things on 1 leg so I just did long team pants. I live in Washington state and he is going to UW thats how I saw him.

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

To answer above: 2011 is finalized until end of season announcements from players leaving.
2012: Ratings good. Appearances WIP.
2013 and above ratings done, appearances are a ways out.
Same for 2014 and up.

I am about to do a 6 year sim now. I will post results once I am done. Then compare to my first big sim test from a couple weeks ago.

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

OK. After 2 seasons of sim, the league is staying down pretty well. Theres definetly about 6-8 more teams in the 80s. Theres 7 teams 90 ovr or higher. The highest is 94. No 97s or anything. Lowest team is a 76.

Amazingly there is only 4 players 70 ovr or higher in the FA Pool. That is a vast improvement even over my previous edited classes. I believe there were about double that amount after 2 years.

OK. After 3 years this is where it is more than just draft classes that make the league overalls rise. There are threads stating that to keep ratings down there may need to be adjusting to current players potential. There isn't a magic number to adjust people but I am certain that is the biggest cause of the overall rise of the league year by year.

Now there are 12 teams 90 or higher. The lowest team overall is 81. The league is balanced for sure. Definetly not 20 teams or nothing in the 90's but almost half the league is. This is still a HUGE improvement over any other sim test I have done with other peoples yearly classes.

Regarding the FA pool there are now 10 guys 70 overall or higher. Highest is Ibaka at a 78 ovr. Then a 74 and low 70's. I bet Ibaka will get signed on a MLE.

Anyway. Takin a break for now. Will post the next 3 seasons once I finish those.

Re: Pizzel Draft Class Updated

Ok now I am a little happier with my results. After 4 years the league actually dropped off a little. There are only 10 teams 90 ovr now. Plus there are only 6 guys 70 ovr or higher now in the FA pool. Also there are 2 teams that are 78 ovr now and a 79. I'm hoping for the best in my next 2 sims. I'm hoping that half the league doesn't get to 90 ovr.
