    Welcome to The F.D.U. (Fictional Draft Universe) PS4 - NBA 2K19


    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, Javier, 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!

    Re: Welcome to The F.D.U. (Fictional Draft Universe) PS4 - NBA 2K19

    Okay guys let's have a quick chat cause it has been a minute. Last year wasn't a good year for the FDU or 2K in general. The CAP creation was horrific and the game just didn't feel right. We couldn't create players without a bunch of them looking the same. Most of the squad bailed on the game faster than we ever have before. This year 2K has fixed the CAP creation and this year the game feels very good. And with that EVERY member of the squad is ready to go which is something we haven't been able to say since DC1 on 2K17. Progress on the first draft class has already started and the grind will not stop this year. The plan is at least 6 classes but tbh I am feeling at least 10. Hope you guys stick with us this year because we got something big coming for y'all!

        Good to see.


        My suggestion, if the goal is more/better output, would be to scrap doing college writeups and all that jazz. Just some simple scouting reports (with brief story of the player) is all you need imo.

          The output will come with motivation and the luck of having less IRL crap to deal with. And the main goal is to create a "real world" rather than going into the draft with no feelings towards any of the players. A connection is needed to really get into a myleague/mygm and that is what we came together as a group to do.

            Had a blast with the 2k17 DCs (Steve Lever the 3pt GOD) and super excited for this, it looks like I’m finally gonna go back to 2k after 2 years on 2k17 so happy to see this will be a bigger project!

            I’ve called this PS4’s future SimWorld since the beginning and it definitely is shaping up to be that

              haha that's what we set out to be when we started and hopefully after this year we will be at that level. Can't wait to get the first class going man, another Steve Lever could be here soon

                There will never be another shooter like The Lever, don't even try


                On another note, I am very intrigued by what was written about busts and how you found how to create them, mind sharing the information?

                  Peak start and Peak End is very key to creating busts....of course potential also plays a part with it as well, but I feel peak start & peak end has the most influence, you can essentially take a high potential player and pretty much make him never come close to developing into anything. I haven't played with it much this year as i did in 2k17 but I am sure it's more of the same

                          Where’s the fun in that? Drafting is always taking some sort of risk

                            McDonald's All American Game Roster


                            It's that time yet again for another exciting year of College Basketball. As we know the fans are ramping up for the new year, we can't forget it about the incoming players that will be displaying their talents on the Hardwood in our annual McDonald's All-American Game. This years game should be another great night of action as there will be a great amount of talent on both teams this year. This game has been the starting point of many careers as we have seen the likes of Demar Brooks, Tyshaun Atkins, Lawrence Howard and DeAndre Dawkins to name a few go on to be household names and I have a feeling this years game will be no exception. No more talk lets get into the rosters for this years McDonald's All-American Game the list is located below.

                              Just a little update people. I know the forum post aren't oozing with updates, this is do to time and trying to figure out a better way to progress stories this year and to help kick out as many classes as possible. As for the first DC this year, everything is going pretty well there is no delay in that portion of the process. I am working on an update for the for the story today but I won't promise anything will be out today.
