If yes, then do the following: extract my modded newscorebug.iff files as you did to get a lot of small files.
Check the dates - this will tell which file names I have edited.
If I remember well, this is mostly animation and SCNE files.
Start with scorebug_opt.SCNE
It could be opened with notepad.
As example, check what font names are listed here.
Last year at "score_home_txt" was "stratum2_bold", "franklin_demi_medium" or others.
Simply rename these lines with different font name.
This example is self explanatory - it substitute font for the home score digits.
This is not hex editing, but a huge portion of changes could be made there.
One example of hex editing. Last years file "new_score_home_txt_new_score_home_txt.9d8f90793fe5909b"
Just few letters and digits inside, something like
0d 97 b4 c5 56 9e e2 45 00 00 40 3f 00 00 40 3f
These 00 00 00 40 3f are the size of home score digits on the screen (one for width, other for height).
If to change to 10 3f or 40 3e... - smaller size,
if to change to 70 3f or f0 3f... - larger size

7-ZIP works works well.
BACK-ZIP - select all the (modded or not) files (that were earlier extracted) in the directory and right mouse click to compress to *.zip
Then just rename file from *.zip to *.iff
No need for any Zip extra settings - simply rename iff to zip, extract zip to a folder /// compress folder content to zip, rename to iff.
DDS editing - any soft should work fine, but I have used GIMP for compressing/decompressing DDS last year (do not remember why), but made graphic editing with more easier software (in my case Adobe fireworks, but any will work here well). GIMP just for converting png to dds or visa versus

ok, your instructions are working - thanks a lot. please have a look:
[ Image ]
1)How can I make the team colors bigger? I will have the team colors as complete background behind the team name (Here the blue ones). In which file I have to modify the team colors.
2) Quarter time and shot clock: Moving up and down and size changes have to be done with hex editing, right?
3) how is it possible to get back the teamlogos? And in which file I have to look? I want to place the team logos left beside the team names.
Sorry for those many questions, but I hope for your great expierience

One more question, how to change font colors?
For example, to change the score numbers from black to white

hex value to move around shotclock, Quarter time, Home/away team name tricode, home/away score
I took enrixxx 2k17 tnt v3 and nba v6 scoreboards and ran them through hex comare with FlexHex. i changed the TNT scoreboard values to see what items moved/changed.
all the hex resources are found in the attaced zip file. if you want to further explore these ,just download the file and look at the png comparisons and excel file. I have rather limited free time to properly explore all the png comparisons. I might get to it, but it will be a while.
there's about 20 comparison png for the 2 scoreboards. I havent checked them all. i attaced them below if anyone has time to look at them. lots of hex identical files.
if you dive through a png just notate the changes and maybe upload them here to this thread.
all credit goes to exrxixxx for original hexwork on scoreboards.
thanks

I believe in bongo's tutorial for the team names was hex edited using the tricode HOME and AWAY its more trail and error from there on out.
