NBA 2K22 TORONTO RAPTORS Broadcaster Pack by Vetmin
General note re: these local broadcaster packs: Unlike TNT and especially ESPN, which have a ton of well-known personalities to choose from, local broadcasts are much more difficult because there are fewer broadcaster options and the candidates are often more obscure. For the Knicks pack, I think all 4 of those folks work for MSG, but in the newer packs, it's more of a hodge-podge of local personalities affiliated with the team and its coverage, regardless of what local TV or even radio network they're part of. Generally (at least for the men) I've leaned more towards ex-players with cyberfaces already in the game, except where there have been obvious lookalikes among 2K's generic faces. Not only is it easier to use ex-players, but it's more fun to see in-game IMO.
Sideline Reporters:
Alvin Williams (M)
Kayla Grey (F)
Studio Analysts:
Drake (EJ) | Cyberface created by NoobMayCry
Alvin Williams (Shaq)
Kia Nurse (Kenny) | Cyberface created (or rather converted female -> male) by vetmin
HOW TO INSTALL:
- Do NOT simply drag & drop into your general mods folder. That will not work.
- Cyberfaces (all the IFF files in the "Nuggets" folder) are intended for use alongside other presentation elements in the manner described by Santicruyff here -> https://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=272&t=113149. Make sure you understand how to organize and toggle on/off multiple mods folders at once via looyh's Hook.
- Recommended approach (from within your main "NBA 2K22" folder, the same folder that contains NBA2k22.exe, not your general mods folder):
---- Either simply drag & drop the "Nuggets" folder into the main "NBA 2K22" folder, or drag its contents into another folder you may have already set up for mods for this TV network (i.e., with breakboard, scoreboard, etc.).
- VERY IMPORTANT... In order to get the sideline reporters' names to appear, within the extracted "Nuggets" folder (or whatever your personal equivalent is)...
---- Notice the file called TEXT.VCLOCALIZEDATA. (This contains all the game's text, so if you already use a modded version of this particular file, then stop, because you'll have to hex edit the names into your modded file yourself. Happy to help, just ask here -> https://forums.nba-live.com/viewtopic.php?f=272&t=113117.)
---- Copy & paste your english.iff file into the "Nuggets" folder. The reason this download folder does not already include english.iff is because many people use modded versions, so the base english.iff file that you copy & paste should be whatever you personally use. If you do not use a modded english.iff, a default version (as of Nov. 28, 2021) has been included in the main directory of this ZIP download for your convenience. Just drag this into the "Nuggets" folder.
---- Replace the TEXT.VCLOCALIZEDATA in english.iff with the one included in the "Nuggets" folder.
---- Delete TEXT.VCLOCALIZEDATA from the "Nuggets" folder. (It's useless outside of english.iff.)
---- OPTIONAL: Delete english.iff from your main mods folder. This isn't necessary, but it removes the possibility of your general mods english.iff being prioritized over the broadcast version you want to be using. I always play the game with one of my broadcast folders enabled, so I prefer to associate my english.iff files with each broadcast or broadcast crew. That means never having to worry about folder priority with regard to english.iff.
HEADS UP!!!!!!!!! - english.iff loads at game launch, so if you toggle to a different broadcast configuration with a different english.iff, you will need to restart the game for the sideline reporter names to take effect.
