Mauroth Realistic Draft Classes: 2017 NEEDS YOU!

mauroth, how would you feel if someone made prospect cyberfaces, and then was PMing you, asking if they could release your ratings, tendencies, etc. with their own cyberfaces, and calling it their own Draft Class? They'd credit you by name, of course. But they'd be releasing their own Draft Class, with the prospect faces they made, but all of your roster work. And it would be 'their' mod. 'Their' release. They'd be sure to make a note, in big red, though, that said "thanks to mauroth for his contribution".

Maybe you'd say yes, maybe not. But I imagine you'd have some inner monologue with yourself first, at the very least.

Again, I'm of the "let's share everything" mentality, but I certainly can't force others to be, nor can I advocate roundabout ways of doing so when some people specifically do not want their work used for other than their own intentions for it. It's unfortunate, yes, but it just is what it is. Nobody is stopping you from releasing your work. Don't point fingers elsewhere. The fact is you don't have a complete mod, and you can't get something collaborative together to release a complete mod. It happens every day. It's unfortunate, but it happens. You're certainly not the first guy to want to use others' prospect CFs who have been denied that request. You won't be the last.

bigh0rt, but can he use cfs from other makers and if they do not respond and can he just credit them? I didn't know that about bamz.

This is a touchy subject. If it's somebody who is around and active, then no. I interpret silence as a No. Again, I encourage people to share their work for what is best in the community. However, we can't force people, nor do I really wish to. When we start forcing people to share things they don't want to, those people are less inclined to share their work in the first place.

Let's make this "Mauroth-Bamz-Other contributors" (I still don't know the names of all the CF makers, so I can't directly contact them) draft class then. Bamz himself did exactly what you said with Aderito, who accepted. It's everyone choice and each of us is free to accept or not. But at least one motivated answer would be well accepted. Because from this one can start a good discussion and maybe we can find a good solution from both parts. All I want is to release a useful work for the community, in the best way. And it's damn difficult meanwhile.

mauroth, honestly I don't users don't give a damn about whose draft class it is, all we want is a realistic and immersive experience. I'd be happy with whatever name of draft class you go, as long as it is released.

Mauroth, for the last time PLEASE listen to me. I''ve mentioned this previously and you seem not to get it. PLEASE take this into consideration.

Instead of screwing around for hours on end tracking down every damn person, just LINK the individual thread/download page for what needs to be installed in order for your draft class to work. Releasing just your files, along with hyperlinks for what needs to be installed is perfectly OK, and damn fine with the forum as a whole.

I agree with this.

Guys as I said, I'm already considering this possibility. With bamz this works perfectly. Things become more complicated with the ncaa mod because there are multiple files downloads. Is everybody here capable of selecting just the png files and stay away from the other files to avoid. Overwriting? (just if they're not interested in ncaa mod of course!). For this reason I asked as a favor to have a single and specific cf package. Obviously just in the ncaa thread. Then in this thread I will simply put the hyperlink to the ncaa mod Specifying which file is needed. This sounds as a good compromise to me.

Not a problem here. Love the MM2K14!

I have an idea!
If cf makers don't let him to use their cf,because it's for marouth,release the NLSC Draft Class.

I heard that Bamz give you anr permmision to put his cf link to you releash. Thats great news. So were waiting for you DC

First - thanks for the hard work! I am excited for the draft classes.

Second - can you possibly be more specific in regard to "very soon" for Albys roster? I am hoping "very soon" means today!

It's not up to me. But he said that he's very close to release. I guess a few days. The sooner the better

mauroth, who still has to give permission for their cfs?

mauroth, who still has to give permission for their cfs?

I'm checking. For sure Droc81yo for the Arizona guys. Then...honestly I don't know if they're all retro/euroleague/FA players or I'm missing someone.

Not trying to be a pain...is there a potential ETA? I am afraid I might break my computer from constantly refreshing this page in anticipation!

Yeah, TWOTommyO ir right. Any news? when we could expect the release?

I finished the CF check. I don't know for too many CFs if they're specific or already ingame. So, at the moment there's no other solution than using NCAA IDs and oblige everyone to download all the NCAA mod in order to get the CF. It's a bit complicated and it may cause some little issues like file overwriting...but this is all I can do for now.
I hope everybody understands this

First release 2014 and 2015 within this week, probably in the weekend. Time to updated heights and weights according to Nike Hoops now!!

Great news! Will be waiting for that. Can you post a list of the CFIDs needed from the MM2K14?

Sounds great - thanks!
