NBA 2K22 Broadcast Music Pack V2 by ADAMB34N & VETMIN

WARNING: AS SEEN ABOVE, THIS MOD CHANGES THE DEFAULT IN-ARENA TEAM MATCHUP PRESENTATION FROM THIS: https://youtu.be/g9y55wfA5hI?t=25 ... TO THE INITIAL CIRCULAR ANIMATION HERE: https://youtu.be/Ua60PuA-Hng?t=54 (I.E., MINUS THE ARENA PANEL AND TEAM & CITY NAME PANEL). FOR NOW THIS IS REQUIRED FOR THE MOD TO WORK. MORE ON THAT BELOW.

In Adamb34n's Intro Music mod, a single theme triggers on the 2KTV screen the moment before you're about to enter into a game and hopefully -- but not always -- lasts until close to tip-off. Our new approach uses the same principle as that mod, but instead does not trigger the music until the actual arena loads up, which means (1) the whole mod is offline-friendly, (2) the in-arena broadcast music is more realistically timed, and (3) the in-arena broadcast music is distinct from and does not clash with the audio in the AnimatedSting (i.e., the 2K Sports-themed intro before some games) and the audio in the TeaserMusic intros (i.e., the occasional music video-ish presentations that are by default set to songs called "Way Up" and "Legendary"). This third point means we were also able to independently customize those other two audio segments in a way that doesn't interfere with the in-arena broadcast music.

In-Arena: ABC (two versions: End Theme and Retro - Early 2010s); ABC-ESPN Playoffs (two versions); AT&T SportsNet; Bally Sports; CBS - Retro (two versions: 70s and 80s); Comcast SportsNet; ESPN (three current versions + Christmas = 4 total); Fox Sports; MSG Network (two versions: current and retro 90s); NBC (two versions: current RSNs and retro Roundball Rock); TNT (three versions: current, retro early 90s, and retro mid-late 90s); and YES Network (two versions: current and retro from the NJ days)

AnimatedSting: NBA Copyright Notice (i.e., the "blah blah blah... express written consent of the NBA" thing, ideal for general use with all present-day / recent broadcast themes); a retro option (ideal for general use with all retro broadcast themes); and select broadcast-themed options: Comcast SportsNet, MSG Network (current), NBC (current RSNs), and YES Network (current)

TeaserMusic: Bally Sports; CBS - Retro (two versions: 70s and 80s); Comcast SportsNet; ESPN - Current; Fox Sports; MSG Network - Retro - 90s; NBC (two versions: current RSNs and retro Roundball Rock); TNT (three versions: current, retro early 90s, and retro mid-late 90s); and YES Network (two versions: current and retro from the NJ days) -- note that the reason we didn't bother with playoff themes for TeaserMusic is because in the real-life playoffs, the TeaserMusic-ish segments tend to use special hype music by specially featured artists, like Fort Minor's "Remember the Name" in 2006 & 2007 and Kanye's "Amazing" in 2009; see vetmin's Custom TeaserMusic pack for a few selections like that, and also post any hype-music requests in his thread

NBA Copyright Notice (for AnimatedSting) + Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" (for TeaserMusic, via vetmin's separate Custom TeaserMusic pack) + ABC-ESPN Playoffs 1 (for In-Arena) = 2017 Finals

NBA Retro (for AnimatedSting) + TNT Retro mid-late 90s (for TeaserMusic) + TNT Retro mid-late 90s (for In-Arena) = 1996-97 NBA regular season

YES Network (for AnimatedSting) + YES Network Current (for TeaserMusic) + YES Network Current (for In-Arena) = present-day YES Network

NBA Copyright Notice (for AnimatedSting) + YES Network Current (for TeaserMusic) + YES Network Current (for In-Arena) = also present-day YES Network, but better for users who like to experiment with different global.iff mods and would find it annoying to have to keep a separate, dedicated global.iff for one particular network (since custom AnimatedSting audio is housed within global.iff)

Installation instructions, recommended audio settings, and tips for use are all included in the downloads. Read the readme.

My favorite team's TV theme / My favorite retro theme is not included in the pack. Will you make it for me?

Sure. These themes are easy to make, but there are a million of them, so we weren't going to go through the trouble of making every last one just for completion's sake. If you have a special request, just reply/PM here or via Discord (we both post at 2K Modding Society), and be sure to include a link to a good-quality version of the theme with no commentary over it. We'll convert a theme to 2K but we're not going to go hunting for the source audio for you.

Not that we've been able to figure out. Basically, to create a trigger for the in-arena music, we had to use the 2K21 team-matchup panel (i.e., titlecard2.iff), and we couldn't get the team and city names to display properly in 2K22, so we chopped off that portion of the team-matchup panel so that it only showed the initial circular animation with the team logos (or "Playoffs," "Finals," etc.), which did display correctly. We would've ideally liked to get the team and city names to display properly or -- better yet -- find a glitch-free way to combine the 2K21 and 2K22 team-matchup presentations so that our version triggers the audio like 2K21, while maintaining the (in our opinion, superior) look of the 2K22 design. We took a few stabs at it, but always ended up with crashes or glitched-out results, so we set it aside, as it's ultimately tangential to what we were trying to do, which was to customize the music, rather than do a lot with visuals. Theoretically, any customized titlecard2.iff should work seamlessly with this music pack so long as it triggers the "titlecard" audio in sfx_inside_001.iff, as it did in 2K21. We would encourage any fellow modders willing to share compatible titlecard2.iff mods to please post them here, as the more options people have, the better.
