Okay, so I’ve been messing around with NBA 2K24 lately, and I wanted to switch up the draft class. I like to do rebuilds and make things interesting, you know? So, I went on this little adventure to figure out how to change the draft class in the game. Here’s what happened.
First, I booted up the game and headed straight to the My NBA mode. I usually start with a Spurs rebuild ’cause, why not? They got history. Once I was in, I looked around for the settings related to draft classes.
I found out that there are a couple of options. You can either use an AI-generated draft class, which is cool, or you can go for a custom one. I’m more into the custom classes because I like to see some familiar names or even create my own scenarios.
Then I went to check out the available custom draft classes. There were a bunch of them, some were based on real-life drafts like the 1996 NBA Draft class which had monsters like Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, and Ray Allen, and others were just fictional ones made by the community. It’s pretty awesome to see the creativity out there.
I also stumbled upon some guides and tutorials about creating your own draft classes. People were talking about changing CF IDs and stuff. I didn’t get too deep into that rabbit hole, but it’s good to know that option exists if I ever want to go full custom. There was this one guide called “NBA 2K16 Draft Class Guide Formulas Project v1.2,” which looked pretty detailed.
- Load up My NBA mode.
- Choose your team. (Spurs for me!)
- Go to the draft class settings.
- Pick between AI-generated or custom draft class.
- If custom, browse the available ones or create your own.
- Select the one you like before starting the season.
The real game-changer for me was realizing that you have to choose the custom draft class right before you start the season in My NBA mode. That way, the actual classes will load up correctly. I messed this up a few times, but hey, live and learn, right?
My Choice
After browsing through, I decided to go with a realistic draft class. I’m a sucker for generated players that look and feel real. The PS5 version has some really good-looking ones. It just adds to the immersion, you know?
So, that’s how my little journey went. It’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Now, I can enjoy my rebuilds with the draft classes I want. If you’re into this sort of thing, give it a try. It’s a fun way to spice up your NBA 2K24 experience.
