Welcome to The F.D.U. (Fictional Draft Universe) PS4 - NBA 2K18

[TheRosterMaster]

Introduction
What is up everyone? Welcome back to the FDU. This will be the hub for FICTIONAL DRAFT CLASSES brought to you by capt3031, MarvellousOne, TheRosterMaster, Slyone14 and Stebo_Da_Great. As a team we want to create not just realistic players, but a realistic world. We want you guys to feel like this is real life and build real life connections to the players that we create.


What to expect
We want to create the most realistic experience ever created. When you see fictional draft classes on this site you will always see people give descriptions of the top 10 players, maybe a big board or even a mock draft. Having one or two of those for your class is perfectly fine, but we want to take this to the next level. We want to have descriptions for most or all the players. We want to have preseason and end of season big boards. We want a mock draft or two. We also want to post things like all americans, media reactions, top 25s, game results, march madness results and maybe even some player highlights. We want you to feel like this is the real NCAA and it’s developing right in front of you in this thread.

Just because we are adding all of this extra stuff we won’t forget about the actual class itself. We are dedicating our free time to make sure every player that we create plays realistic and looks realistic. Making players look realistic is very important because we are not trying to create players that look like the cavemen that 2K is producing in the autogenerated classes. When I say “looking realistic” I don’t only mean the face of the player. I mean all the accessories too. Accessories are important to us as a group because they partially define a player.

In every single class we are looking to have at least 70 players to be chosen from. Sometimes we will have 71+. It may depend on some storylines that we are in the process of making. After doing MASSIVE amounts of research and testing, we have figured out the average number of future stars to put in one class. Does that mean there are going to be x amount of stars every class? The answer is no. It will vary like it does in real life. Besides working on creating stars, we are working on creating busts. One night last year when we had a group chat, MarvellousOne was testing how 2K went about drafting. We incorporated busts into the draft to see when 2K drafted them. The results were GREAT. We created several stars and a few busts with the same potential and similar overalls. The top 2 picks were HUGE busts and the 3rd pick of the draft was a star. With what we figured out that night may cause some of you chaos after draft night. Others may be lucky with some teams passing up the future Lebron James, so he could fall right into your hands. Be very prepared for gems and busts in these draft classes.

Thank you all for your time!

FDU 2K18 Hype Trailer

[Barncore]

Always top quality draft classes.

Here's hoping the new CAP system doesn't sap the fun & creativity out of it too much.

Loved your classes last year, hope to use them again this year.

How do you guys think the new CAP system will impact your draft classes? I assume you will be in a better situation than those doing NCAA draft classes in that you don't have to make people look like a real life counterpart, but do you think it will be difficult to get the variety and defining features that you've been able to get in the past?

If the CAP system is 100% the same as the Prelude (which i bet it is) then we will have some issues, but I don't think it will be too bad. My biggest concern is that there is only 1 light skin tone. Obviously there aren't too many white guys coming through the draft every year, but eventually it will be harder to make them look different. The increase in hairstyles should help us out a little bit though. I am interested to see whats up with the CAP system come midnight.

Awesome draft classes last year, can't wait to see what you have in store for 2k18.

After using yours last year I couldn't use any of the generic ones and had to create some that were similar to yours (the way you do busts and what not)
