PSA for 2K25 modding; back up archive files and possible Easy Anti-Cheat

With the release of 2K25, I feel like it should be noted for modders to keep note of two things. Back up your archive files to keep older files that 2K will eventually overwrite like the 2024 All-Star art files (useful for making a completed eras mod). Also, there's reports of 2K25 implementing Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), so it may be necessary to back up the V1.0 exe file, as EAC tends to crash the game when loading programs such as Cheat Engine. From what I'm hearing, it's currently not implemented, but it's very likely to be bundled in a future update.

Good luck to all modders for 2K25!

Solid advice!

i've been off the nba 2k world since 2020, can you please make a list of the files we should back up? thanks

All of the archive files inside the NBA 2K install folder (0A, 0B, 0C, etc.) It's nice to see 2K adding the remaining All-Star jerseys from 2020-2023, but I have a feeling that they're going to replace the 2024 uniforms and court without duplicating them alongside the 2025 files.

Lots of the older files are cut/paste where as the new stuff are a completely different format. I've looked at the new celtics uni which have all the fancy logos and normals but the 90s ones are same as previous years.
