Could be completely outdated by now. If you don't see your work listed here, post a reply and I'll get it in ASAP.Another year of basketball gaming on our PCs, another year of modding, another year of fun. Let's see what we have!
Before we startIf you're a modder or an NBA 2K12 gamer and you see something missing (your mod thread, some game info), please reply or PM me, and I'll make sure to add it to the list ASAP. Also, if you want a description added next to a mod of yours, feel free to tell me and I'll add it.
I have questions regarding the game!Make sure to look at the
General NBA 2K12 FAQ first, then read on!
What files has 2K updated so far? Do I really need to use Keep My Mod?Besides the Roster, which 2K updates more or less regularly, and the new shoes it adds regularly as well, the files that have been updated are in
this thread.
Installing mods for the above files the regular way (overwriting the files in the installation directory) won't work anymore, as the game won't use them, and will always use 2K's updates instead. If you want to use your mods for these files instead of the official updates, you'll need to force them on the game using
Keep My Mod.
So, how do I improve my NBA 2K12 experience?Thankfully, unlike Console editions of the game, the PC edition has an energetic and always active modding community. So here's the rundown of what you can find in NLSC to improve your game.
NBA 2K12 Mods
Upvote your favorite modders and mods, get them higher in each category!
More info here.RostersThe base for a good experience. You need the latest and greatest rosters, which usually include the latest transfers, updated ratings, coach profiles, skills, rotations, signature moves, etc. Here's what we have:
Partial Roster UpdatesSignature shots, accessories, tattoo setups, and all the other smaller roster updates that can be implemented in any roster, even yours!
Signature ShotsAccessoriesSlidersNearly every variable that affects the gameplay can be edited and adjusted to your liking. Specific slider sets try to either achieve more realistic stats, better gameplay, gameplay that's more fun, or any combination of the above.
Draft ClassesGet realistic future rookies for your Association!
- Leon40's Draft Classes - scroll below the arena mods to get to them
- Nictional Draft Classes - includes a very detailed 2012 draft class, as well as fictional ones carefully crafted for association mode, including cyberfaces for the players
SuperglobalsThe Global file contains textures, settings and models used everywhere in the game, such as skin textures for the players, specific game icons, etc. Superglobals combine several modders' work on many fronts into one file, so check out each superglobal's feature list to see what updates you're getting with it.
Global additionsMods that you can import into your global file, if you're using the default 2K global, or a superglobal that doesn't have this specific mod.
CyberfacesCyberfaces are the players' faces' models, as well as face and body textures. Although 2K does a modest job providing good cyberfaces for most players, the modding community amazes us every year with its work on this front. Take a look!
Player PortraitsJust like the name says, these mods update and add new player portraits into the game. Look for the player portraits mod that's compatible with the modded roster you downloaded for the best experience.
ArenasGet the latest and most realistic arenas for your favorite teams ...or the whole league while you're at it!
Partial Arena UpdatesSome modders are good at some stuff, some are better at other stuff. These modders know their work in a specific part of the Arenas, and offer these updates separately.
JerseysJerseys are as important to the game as coffee is to a good breakfast of mine. And in Clark Kellog's words, "DON'T MISS BREAKFAST!"
ShoesYou're going on the court wearing THAT? You can't be serious. Here's some better shoes for you to select from.
UI & OverlayEvery mod that tries to improve on the game's user interface and overlays should be here!
Full Network ModsScoreboardsIcons & LogosENB Shadow & Color ModsRealistic ENB mods try to offer crisper colors and improved shadows throughout the game, but you can find ENB mods for any taste, such as cel-shaded ENB mods, classic TV ENB mods (for black & white gameplay), etc.
MiscellaneousMods that don't fit into any other category will be put here. They're the last -but not least- mods! You have to check them out!
Total ConversionsTotal Conversions are mods that change the game's core, by either completely replacing the roster (NCAA, FIBA, Euroleague, etc), arenas (Street), jerseys, etc. They should provide you with a whole new gameplay experience, if you ever get bored of the NBA or just want to try something new.
ToolsFrom the beginner to the expert, modders need tools. If you want to get into modding or want to find that missing tool that does the job you wanted, look here!
