Fictional League (An association mod) *Update PREVIEW*

Zidus' Fictional Basketball League


A little back story:
The NBA has folded, under reasons unknown. The players, have taken their talents else where & Silver has gone into hiding. But Basketball never stops, and the fans begin to crave more action. So an unknown person, (probably Michael Jordan) looking to fill the void, and to make tons of money, has created his own league. 30 new teams rise, from new cities to old, all aiming for one thing, a championship.

You are a GM, hired by your new team in a new league. You must build your team and lead them to a Dynasty. Building a team won't be easy, as only FA's who were not signed onto a team and players from the euroleague will be willing to play in this new league. Craft a dynasty through FA's and the draft!

UPDATE 4/3/2014

So after taking a long,(long) break from this mod, I've decided to go back at it and I'm currently working on the new update. I've read some of your comments, sorry for not responding to them, but I've taken all of them into consideration.

So what to expect in the new update?
Better Jerseys - I learned how to edit and create custom jerseys.
Bigger & Different logos - The logos on the jerseys won't be the same as what's on the court.
More Teams - I'm going to be adding more teams from different cities, real and fictional. If you want a specific city in the next expansions, tell me the name of the city and the team name. Heck if you want you can create it yourself and just send me the files I'll throw them into the mod and credit you.

So I'm working on all the teams jerseys, creating a home and away jersey for each team. I'll release the first update when I have around 15 teams down.
If anyone wants to help you're free to! Just pick a team that hasn't been done yet, or has doesn't matter there's a bunch of alternative slots of jerseys anyways, and I'll edit it in and give you the proper credit. If you want to create your own fictional team, be free to do so, I'll also place them into the mod as well. So If you want to let out some creativity, and want to try things out of the norm, join the team!

Oh and if someone could teach me how to edit the warmups? I'd really appreciate it, its weird when it doesn't match the jersey.

After this the next step would be courts. I haven't even attempted at making a court yet, that's why every team has a generic CAT court, but if anyone wants to create a couple custom courts or have any generic ones that every team can use feel free to send me a message.

Atlanta & Brooklyn


San Francisco & Los Angeles


And introducing two of the new teams
Harlem Heat (Inspired by the the WCW Tag Team)
&
Midgar Soldiers (Inspired by FFVII)


Old About

Code:

So what is this? This is a fictional league I created because I was bored running through the same Association mode over and over again. The only players available are players who were FA's and players from the Euroleague.

Why would this be fun at all? It's made to utilize and emphasize draft classes more than anything. At the end of the post i'll provide links to a bunch of great draft classes that I'm fond of.

What does this overwrite? Nothing really, all the cyberfaces used are already in game. Jeresey's are all made from the creator in game. The only thing that will be over written is the create a team logos. I overwrote the A-Z & 0-9 ones so if you created a team that uses these logos, or another mod also overwrote these logos there's going to be a conflict.

All 30 teams are finished, I'm just working on the rosters and then i'll be able to release it. There's going to be 3 roster files.
1. With all FA's Assigned through a fantasy draft that I just did.
2. No players on any teams, all in the FA pool, like a fresh start
3. No players at all. Why? I don't know, I guess to have a greater emphasis on just building through a draft.

So let me explain the divisions real quick. There's 2 conferences with 3 divisions each, but instead of Eastern Conference and Western Conference, there's American and National like football and Baseball. Within the 2 conferences' are 3 divisions, the East Division, Central division, and the West Division. That's why come playoff time you'll see "West" teams in the Eastern Conference

UPDATE V2 1/20/2014

Beta Release v2

I've updated the rosters from the most recent 2k Official update, so players like Andrew Bynum and Seth Curry are now in the FA pool and players like Kendall Marshall are now gone. I'm also including Roster 1, players were assigned randomly via fantasy draft in the association. I'm including a cyberface for Seth Curry thanks to egodynasty08, his face 2k gave him bothered me too much. Roster fictionalleaguebetav2FAs, has all the players in the FA pool, and the regular one has them assigned to teams. Again you can't edit rosters outside of association mode, it'll make the rosters all screwy. Let me know of any problems! Enjoy!



Draft Classes
pierralban's fictional draft classes

you should of unlocked the euroleague teams to use in association, and add your own teams for empty slots.. And use only euroleague players and FAs.. That would of been much more fun.

I actually have it set up so you can replace any teams with euro league teams. So if you want to you can just replace it yourself

Idk, just that they don't have any real stars, and they're jerseys and the court are ugly and the team are shit D I hope so man ) Ps.. You should release your file with all euroeague teams unlocked for association and season mode.. Im sure alot of people would be interested... But obviously when you have time man.. Good luck on your project dude )

I like the idea of this mod... may try it out

I'm really liking this mod. I've already played the shit out of the beta. What will be added in the next release? Good work!

Thanks man let me know what you think of it and if you run into problems.

Lol thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The next one will just have a roster with the players in the FA pool already included onto teams. It'll all be randomized though. I'm also working on a roster that has no players period. I dunno why I just thought it'd be an interesting concept. I might add more logos to the Create a team screen so you can fully customize a team the way you want it.

I'll also continue working on my fictional draft classes, as this mod kind of lives off the draft to keep it interesting.

with the right sliders this mod makes matches very fun and challenging. As it doesn't have superstars as kobe or lebron who can charge through everyone, so its more difficult to score.. So yea this mod is definitely exciting and interesting to play. )

Do you use anyone's specifically? Or have you made one yourself? I'd like to add it to this mod to add to the challenge of it, I'll make sure to give the proper credit too!

I used somebodies as base but can't remember who and tweaked it to match my own needs

Great great great idea !
I'm going to try that ASAP.
Maybe you could make the logo on the jersey bigger ?

Not possible with CAT jerseys, they're just programmed to be really small.

This is pretty cool, I'm working on something like this too, unfortunately there's only so much I can do with a free version of REDitor and the Chinese Trainer.

Update V2 Preview! Bynum has entered the League!

Ever thought about using some MLS logos for the your fictional team logos? (Or some other minor sports league)
For Seattle, change the name and you can use the Sounders logo (Or photoshop the logo to say Reign) and you can keep the color scheme.

Couldn't we create real jerseys ? Like for NBA teams.
Hope you'll continue on this, i just love it ! So good to use draft classes players !

By the way, i did this for the team i use :

How about creating a league with fictional players only?

That would be a great idea also. I just hope this project is still going. Haven't heard any updates in awhile.

Ei man, you made my day.
i like your concept and idea. hope you can make an alpha release soon.
keep it up.

ill be downloading it now and playing it later!

Ooh i really like their logo i'll try implementing it in.

I've thought about it. I might throw a roster together with all the players from my Gen 1 draft classes.

That would be a great idea also. I just hope this project is still going. Haven't heard any updates in awhile.

Sorry Sir! I've been busy working on my draft classes. I just recently learned how to make jerseys so this project has come back to life!

i hope that you can tweek more the roster player ratings so that it will be more realistic.

ill be hanging out and looking out on your updates! more ! more ! more !

Zidus, can I use the logos of the teams for a mod I am working on?
