Custom Draft Classes Officially in M19

[SethMurphy]

I absolutely LOVE this. The ability to create and edit draft classes means historical rosters can be played and replayed.

Use the 1994 roster for example. You can start the 94 season and then use real draft classes, re-write history in a way. I do this with 2k18 basketball and it's awesome.

I can't express how happy this makes me. I have never been able to really dig deep into a Franchise since Madden 12 due to not having Custom Classes.

This is something that had been in 2k for awhile, and it was massively successful. Thus all the people begging for EA to implement the feature as it was the most widely requested feature.

This! Exactly. Thank you...

With all the missing features, I've never understood the allure of custom draft classes. As for skill points, the first thing that came to mind was the over-powered skill tree from NCAA 14.

Hopefully there is more to come that has to do with the non-gameplay aspects of CFM - customization, owners mode improvements, coaching staffs/carousel, offseason improvements, scouting improvements, SCHEDULING improvements, AI improvements, etc, etc.

Alright, I'm buying into the M19 hype since we're getting custom draft classes. This is massive to me.

I edited the rookies in 17 and 18. For me it took 6-10 hours per class. depending on how picky i was with equipment. I didn't touch ratings though. I'm excited to see how many draft classes are made and how many will extend past the 3 to 4 years of real players that can be made.

I think about 5 classes max. I too spent hours and hours editing rookies. It made it so much more immersive, but it's killer that names aren't pronounced. I really hope they can have like 50+% pronounced from custom classes.

We need a new potential/player development system for this custom draft class feature to be great. MLB The Show's potential system isn't perfect but it works pretty well as player potential fluctuates depending on player performance. Dev traits/XP is so lazy and is way too video gamey for my taste.
