What was done
2K Football Mod Tools provides offline-verified editors for ESPN NFL 2K5 and All-Pro Football 2K8, allowing users to modify assets like uniforms, rosters, and stadium textures for use in emulators.
2K Football Mod Tools is an open-source project that provides two retail-free mod editors for ESPN NFL 2K5 (original Xbox) and All-Pro Football 2K8 (Xbox 360). The tools allow users to browse and replace game assets including uniforms, portraits, team art, scorebug graphics, stadium textures, rosters, text, and audio. The project utilizes an independently verified write path to ensure intended bytes are modified in a copied game image. The editors support Windows, macOS, and Linux, with Linux serving as the primary platform for end-to-end smoke testing. The project documentation explicitly tracks limitations, such as the inability to perform general 3D model replacement, whole-bank audio repacking, or franchise draft AI modification. The author reports that while many writers are offline-proved, some features remain in a research boundary or are emulator-only. Development commits credit Claude Opus 5.5 as a co-author for various releases, including beta 78. See the project README for detailed feature lists and installation instructions.
