Since we're already finding out that 2K12 tools are compatible with some 2K13 files, I wanted to start this as early as possible, so that we have a thread that categorizes all the available patches and mods, like 2K12.
Modders and Users: If you see any patches missing, reply with a link to the modder's thread.
Moderators and Team Members: Feel free to edit the thread to keep it up-to-date.NBA 2K13 ModsCommunity Modding ProjectsNo better thing in the world than to see the community come together and work on modding projects. These projects shall follow the open-source principals, where every bit of research and work is available to the public for everyone to learn and help. Join one or more projects, become a (better) modder, and get together with some of the best of the community!
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!
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!
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!
First made for 2K132K12 list (fully compatible, may be outdated)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.
FloorsDornasJerseysJerseys 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!
