Lower3rd Panel Notes and Guide (file attached to this post)the panels are easier to mod this year.
the team player stats (player portrait) are contolled by lwr3rd_panel_player_team2.SCNE.
the team comparison stats (team stat; nba logo) are controlled by lwr3rd_panel_generic.SCNE
the gatorade substitution panel is controlled by lwr3rd_uneven212.SCNE & lwr3rd_uneven212_bg.SCNE
lwr3rd_content_box.SCNE also does a few stuff... i think the black box behind the stats... i didn't do much with that scene file... maybe blank.dds... cant remember.
word position are animation files, but i didn't move any words, just kept words default.
Anyways, the texture is test.dds... i positioned it to fill the bottom half of the screen (see below)

the game has a mask that over-exposes the image. Not sure how to change the mask or fx file. maybe somebody else can figure it. I just edited test.dds in GIMP ... then on the main menu went to colors-> Exposure -> black level is 0.0 and exposure is -2.0 ... that kinda fixed the game dds color... you will see.
Anyways, pretty easy to edit. can open lwr3rd_panel_player_team2.SCNE and move player portrait, team color, team color with background texture, .... the main texture box ... vertex group "pPlaneShape1" i would just leave alone (test.dds; main texture) unless you feel the need to fiddle with main texture.
Could be compatible with 2k22 and 2k21... just maybe switch out the Lower3rd.VCUIELEMENT and see if it works in 2k22 and 2k21.
Hope people make some nice panels. My photoshop skills are fairly basic.
Have a good day.
Oh, yeah, how to test panels easier.... put gamespeed to 100.... put all cpu/user shooting/layup/movement to 100 ... pick team with superstars... the game will pop a panel after a made basket... and more panels is important player is making the basket... so lebron, curry, chris paul... there is usually 2 or 3 of the "good" players on each team that get more panels. Anwyays, i usually do warriors/lakers/suns and make basket, and then have cpu make basket. 5 min quarters is good time, for me, for testing panels.
Have a good day.
