1. I’ve already made a tool for converting spreadsheet data to 2K-valid data. I’ve only done it for attributes and tendencies though, since for badges I prefer using my badge generator (separate program), which also outputs to 2K-valid data.
2. Presentation is my specialty and I’ve finished basically everything up to 1990 (starting in 1946). Will continue to the present day NBA. If you’re talking about retro picture quality, there is ReShade that you can use, but personally I like 2K’s built-in Era filters (particularly the ‘90s one) better than any reshade I’ve come across.
3. This is the one thing that’s still kind of untouchable. It’s just baked too deeply into the game. “Modding it” would likely have to involve building external tools that essentially replace the default AI with an externally programmed one, but it’d be really hard to even duplicate the default AI, much less improve upon it.
4. These are non-issues on PC. You can freely assign likenesses, courts, stadiums, jerseys, etc. wherever.
