((For the most part the following posts are just reposts from another thread I used to update people. Will keep people updated, currently finishing up 1997. Will host 97, 98, 99, 00 and 01.)

Assuming there are 60 players per draft class and 24 draft classes I need to create, that equates to 1440 stats and faces I need to create. If anyone is interested in the link to the google document where I store all the ratings and statistics please email me! All the help I can get would be great, the formulas for creating ratings are very simple. The quicker we can finish these, the more enjoyable the 90-91 roster set will be to play with.
With my formulas an interesting rating is potential. Many prospects never reach their full potential due to injury, the situation they are out into or other circumstances. So don't be surprised if you see a "bust" with a decent potential. For example Darko Milicic is considered a huge bust but remember, he was drafted onto a championship-built Pistons team with a loaded front court. There were few minutes to go around and the signing of Rasheed Wallace only made it worse. Had he ended up on another team would he have faired better? Would lebron, melo, Wade, or bosh had ended up how they are now if there draft orders were changed? Just an interesting little note to consider.
If you're wondering the order im doing ratings:
1. Significant Players/Players of Note (All-Stars, All-NBA, Award Winners or just well-known interesting players) are the first ones I make.
2. Undrafted (Disclaimer: These are only undrafted players who eventually made an impact or found their role in the league. This is because these players tend to have longer careers than 2nd rounders, for example Ben Wallace went undrafted and he was a very easy player to create statistically.)
3. 1st Rounders
4. Second Rounders
I am still working on the draft classes. However it is becoming more difficult since now each draft class requires me to make each player since information is available. I'm going to release 1999 and onwards as V1 and V2. Version 1's only have essential players so that it is playable from the beginning then eventually I'll release the rest.

These will be accurate at around midnight eastern time. I am still making some final touches. If you are interested in helping me complete this project faster (for the most part I am still working alone) please contact me. I assure you this is not difficult at all, just looking at stats and inputting them as attributes.

After posting this I will continue to do some work. Please email me at
[email protected] if you are interested in helping or have any questions. I am extremely willing (and almost begging) for assistance from anyone. The formulas are very simple and basically just need you to look at stats and compare them to the equivalent in the formulas along with watching some YouTube videos of highlights
