dpower15's X1 Draft Class

[dpower15]

Hey everyone,

I've put my roster editing on hold for now while we wait to see how much, if at all, patch 3 will be affecting MyGM. Instead I'll be working on a 2014 draft class in the mean time. The ratings are going to be geared toward my rosters in particular, but I think they will also work well with SuperNova's.

Current progress:

Adding players to their most accurate generated player models. I'm going down the line so the big time guys will have the closest (if possible) faces I can find, and as I get farther in the draft the faces will be a bit less accurate. Not ideal, but it's about all I have to work with at this point with how the draft class editing is structured.

I've got somewhere around 20-25 guys done so far. Ratings have only been done for Wiggins, Parker, Randle and Embiid to this point.

I'd like to find one or two people to help out with the ratings, sig shots, tendencies etc. as I am by no means an expert on all of these players in the draft class.

My gamertag is Heatology. Feel free to download and suggest any specific faces for players in the draft class. Just please name the generic player now and who you'd like me to edit in as that player.

Draftexpress has some advanced stats for college players but you have to be careful with those advanced stats. A lot of that stuff doesnt transfer to the league.

Yeah I'm trying to get the base stats in decent shape first, then I'll move to playing with tendencies.

If I can get the order to play out pretty well, the players to progress reasonably, keep the league balanced (i.e. A few stars, some solid starters, some role players, etc.) and get realistic stats for sims I'll be happy. If anyone watches the guys enough, even if it's just all the players on one team, to give input on ratings and tendencies please feel free to let me know. Like I said, I'm not an expert on how all these guys get their stats, I'm just trying to give them the right ratings and tendencies to reproduce them (as translated to the NBA vs college stats)

Thanks I appreciate it. Feel free to post suggestions for players to add, sig shots, tendencies, really anything. I'm all for making this class as good as it can be, and for not making it just a cookie cutter class.

I've decided to keep a couple guys out of the class for now. One is going to be controversial and up for debate, but as of know I'm leaning toward keeping Aaron Gordon out. While Arizona is #1, he's dropped pretty far in mock drafts lately and I could see that translating into him sticking around one more year until this class is gone. I also couldn't find a face anywhere near what he looks like lol. I'm also going to keep James Young out of 2014. Both will be in 2015 if I get around to it.

I think it gives you something to look forward to in the 2015 draft to have a couple fairly big name guys from this class left over for that one. It also will hopefully make these feel a bit more realistic with a few guys staying in school, possibly a couple lottery top guys not panning out too well, a few sleepers for 2nd round with fairly high potential, etc.

It will take awhile to really get these perfected, but I think they will be great once finished.

when will you finish the draft class? i know its a lot of work but i just want to start a mygm career finally

Dpower - can you highlight for us the "strength" of your class. Without naming specific players (just to not spoil it!).

For example - how many players above 75, how many in 70-75 range. What about potentials? how many players with potential higher than 90? how many with higher than 80? 70?

Just want to see with which roster I should play these with. I like Supernova's roster but I think he might have tone down the ratings a little too much.

I'm hoping to finish by the end of the month. Can't promise it with the holidays, but that's my goal because I'm ready to start MyGM too. Unfortunately between the class and my roster it will take some time, but in my opinion it will be well worth the wait. As I get closer to finishing ill need some people to test them out if you'd be interested.
