Hello all, this is my first post here. I've been lurking for a while, and I decided to make an account just to post this:
I know it's way too early to properly discuss 2K20 modding, but I'd like to bring up an ambitious idea I've been considering for a while.
However, I've never done any 2K modding, so I'd like to ask you all how feasible it is.
This is what I have in mind:
It's like the historical teams feature, but expanded for every team and every year. So, we could seamlessly choose a match-up between the '05 Suns or the '12 Grizzlies or the '20 Clippers etc... (I think it was Madden 05 or 06 that had something similar to this)
Obviously, that's impossible just using the in-game tools.
But I see 2 ways this could be done:
(1) Mods
This would require a UI mod (so we can fit 100s of teams in a single interface/menu) and a way to make Roster Files hold the info for 100s of teams.
(2) Roster Files
If the above mods prove to be impossible, then we could always make a bunch of easily searchable roster files available for download that cover every possible yearly match-up. (If we cover the last 20 years of NBA rosters, then this would require ~180 unique roster files - Of course, this way is much harder and definitely not seamless, but it's technically possible lol)
---
Either way, this is a job that's way beyond the skill or time that I can contribute. I guess I'm just looking for advice / help on this idea. (Also, I wouldn't mind doing it on an older 2K game or an NBA Live game if there are larger mod possibilities).
Thanks for reading,
