Converting Stadiums and arenas from 2k12, 2k11, and 2k10
Thu Jun 27, 2013 11:42 pm
I'm sure at this point not many have gotten around to dealing with old arenas because they have not been compatible
but recently I found a few hidden/ Unused arenas and gyms in 2k10. Also the old games used the High and lo resolution
arenas essentially the xbox 360 and ps2 versions of every arena which really gave us 2 stadiums for each team. Simply rename
the low resolution arenas and you could use them alongside hi-res courts without turning your stadium quality to Low in
the menu.
Below is a local/ High School/ Middle School type gym I found in 2k10 and would love to have for mods in 2k13
There are so many mods, discoveries, and new techniques this year that it seems possible that the community can pull
together and figure out this daunting task of how to convert or at least use old stadium/ arena files from past 2k iterations.
Examples for uses of these type of gyms
To create new gyms for full conversion mods such as Hoop it Up, APB, NCAA, WNBA, and Backyard Basketball mod
Create new full conversion mods such as a generic High School Basketball Mod
Unused NCAA rutgers arena in 2k10
Recently Jaosming made a big step in creating your own arena and was not satisfied with the outcome. I think converting these type of gyms and arenas hidden in the
older games for use in newer games gives us that next bit of control that Jaosming may be aiming for. I've seen his work he can edit any gym that is playable and
create a new gym/ arena/ stadium/ outdoor court from it. When he creates these new stadiums it creates a new experience for us as users and we in turn
keep playing the game. It extends the life of the game. If 2k12 ultimate roster had all the old outdoor courts from ps2 days (some hidden in 2k10 files) and the outdoor
courts such as Venice Beach, The Cage, etc I'm sure everyone would still be playing because it would in fact be the ultimate game.
Anyway if someone has info on converting old stadiums please post. I don't expect much out of this and will still continue to research on my own
