Funkycorm's 2k25 Fictional Draft Classes

[Funkycorm]

At the present time, this project is on hold


Hi everyone! I am late to the party, but I have gotten a copy of NBA 2k25 and will be making some fictional draft classes again this year.


This is the third year I will be releasing my draft classes publicly. My classes last year received over 3,700 downloads, which is wow just wow. That was about 3,000 more than I thought I would get.


These will be for the PS5 but since cross server is now a thing they should be able to be enjoyed on Xbox as well.


I have 3-5 fictional draft classes I will be planning on doing during this cycle. It is less than last year. And I love making classes, but I felt that toward the end my work got sloppy and it was dragging on. I am cutting back a bit this year to focus on quality over quantity.


I do not like how the game generates draft classes and have been using my own system for editing the classes to better fit my needs. A system I have been improving on since I started doing this in 2k20.


Feel free to take these classes and make your own storylines for your dynasty as well. Share them here if you do.



What my classes have:

All of my boom/average/bust percentages equal 100 percent. By this I mean, one player could be 80/10/10 and another could be 10/70/20 and any and all other combos in between. I did extensive testing on this and really like the results. Paired with the min and max potentials, I really like what has come from this.

There are first round busts, second round sleepers, role players, potential generational talents, and everything in between. And it can play out differently each time through because of the bust/boom percentages.

A variety of schools for players. No longer will you get 8 players from Duke in the same draft. It can make for some fun storyline creation in dynasties as well.

Around 60 players per class edited meaning you have nearly 2 full rounds of players edited.

Eliminated multiple players of the same name throughout the classes.

Removed some badges that are OP.

Min and max potential adjusted.

Peak begin and peak end ages adjusted

Ages are more realistic and there are not 24-25 year olds. This includes much more realistic ages for top talent.

Some editing of tendencies.

Height adjustments.

Secondary position adjustments.

Overall adjustments as well as attribute adjustments.

There may be a few injured players along the way.

There is no guarantee that the number 1 pick each year is a guaranteed hall of famer or perennial all star. Draft wisely. Scout and be rewarded.

Tendency editing

Appearance editing

Signature shot editing

Equipment editing




Other Information to Know

I do not release works in progress. I only release work I feel is completed. Do not ask for works in progress as the request will not be granted.

I design these classes to fit my needs within a dynasty so they may not be for everyone.

If these classes sound like something you would use, feel free to use them to your heart's content. As I said, feel free to take them and make your own storylines.

Feel free to leave constructive feedback as I am looking to improve on these classes and my class creation in the future.




In Closing

These classes are all about adding more options for users to have. I like to sim years into the future and the more classes the better. The other creators here do amazing work on their classes and I enjoy and endorse them all.



Endorsement

There is always a lot of great fictional work out there. As always, I will use JB’s classes in my dynasty and I highly recommend those again this year.

Wow... The draft class generation by the game this year is the worst it has been.

I have depended on the game to give me different appearance but when you generate classes from the features menu, each one is the same appearance wise. Top pick is always a bald guy who is a PF, followed by a Nigerian, and so on. I never keep the original order generated but this is crazy.

Luckily I found out that generating classes from a myERA save gives them randomized appearances.

This is beyond disappointing for me, as it is going to increase the time for the creation process. I also have a feeling this is why we have seen less fictional classes this year.

I will be making 1 class for sure then assessing if I want to make more and put in the extra effort. Honestly, I may see myself returning to 2k24.

Probably not what many want to hear but I am being honest.
