NBA 2K22 Official 2022 TNT Scoreboard with Animations by vetmin

ABOUT:

No foul / violation / timeout pop-up notifications (personal preference... notification pop-ups are kinda whatever to me; I play TNT games with the broadcast & PA announcers on, so I just listen to them for details like that, like you have to do when watching real games; note that the little timeout notches DO appear, just not the pop-ups that say, for instance, "Lakers TIMEOUT," which are redundant anyway since you can clearly see the Lakers lose a little timeout carat...)

Does a pretty good job of avoiding collisions with the various stat/etc. overlays that pop up over the course of a game

Intro animation is billboard-style, rather than trying to emulate the real-life TNT scoreboard intro (IMO the real-life one is just too snazzy to really capture in 2K, though Karinge does about as well a job as one reasonably could) // For now, I've included only one billboard option, an AEW on TNT-branded one, as there is a lot of cross-promo in real-life between TNT's NBA and AEW programming. I plan to create more billboards in the future. Anyone of course can use the one included here (frame.dds) as a template for their own though. They're pretty easy to make.

No Opening Night / Premiere Week & Holiday elements (i.e., in the scoreboard; it of course doesn't impact any Opening Night / Premiere Week elements in your watermark, etc.)

Added a little Larry O'Brien trophy to the Finals graphic, because why not :P

Kept the timeout / bonus visuals from bongo88's base (see Credits / Shout-Outs), since they look and work fine IMO, even if they're not the same as how it currently looks on TV.

CREDITS / SHOUT-OUTS:

bongo88: This is really just a re-skin and SCNE tweak of bongo88's 2010 TNT scoreboard for 2k20 -> https://www.2kspecialist.net/2020/05/tn ... -2k20.html.

looyh: His 2k20 TNT scorebug served as a visual model for my texturing work.

Karinge: His 2k21 TNT scoreboards provided a useful jumping off point to get the playoff box looking right in mine.

KNOWN ISSUES:

During the Play-In Tournament, the playoffs annotation box appears, but there is no text. This is a common issue in 2k22 for every custom scoreboard I've seen (i.e., scoreboards switch to post-season mode for the Play-In, but without any text to display, since it's not "Game 1" or anything yet). I've included a Play-In version of the scoreboard if this issue is annoying to you (it simply turns the playoffs annotation box transparent). If anyone knows how to make old scoreboards play nice with the Play-In, please let me know.

The score-change animation may not be true to bongo88's original. In mine the team name and score just flicker to update. Nothing fancy. Not sure how bongo88's original displayed in 2k20, but if it's indeed a cooler animation that simply isn't working, I'd be grateful to anyone who can figure it out.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING APPEARS AMISS WITH THIS SCOREBOARD. Note that there will probably be a Version 2 at some point, even if no glitches are reported.
