About This File

The Fox Sports version of the sound mod is here!

I UPLOADED V2 OF THIS MOD BUT DIDN'T DELETE V1 FOR WHOEVER PREFERS THE OLD THEMES.

I just finally found the modern theme that Fox Sport uses and replaced the old themes with it.

Just like with the ESPN version, what I aim to do with this mod is to completely replace 2K's stock game introduction, lineup presentation and mid inning music with the MLB on Fox theme.

You may find the themes might not be 100% like in real life, because the game only allows us to use files of a certain lenght, therefore I had to cut and mod a few of them, so they could fit the little spaces the game allows us to use.

I also completely replaced the music that plays from the stadiums' speakers with 50 different songs, so you will no longer hear that awful soundtrack that 2K12 came with, during the games and you will hear a wider variety of songs. I chose these songs according to what most players use as walk-up songs or what you'd usually hear in a ballpark or stadium. If you don't like some of the tunes, you're still more than welcome to replace the files yourselves with the Audio Editor and put in the music that you prefer! :good:

For better results during games, I suggest you use these volume values:

Commentary 100

Crowd 95/100

PA Announcer 65/70

The file is divided in two parts because it was too big to be uploaded to the website. ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL FILE so you can go back to it, in case you don't like this one!

HOW TO INSTALL: Download both parts. Open part 1 and extract the files to the game's main folder, overwriting the pre-existing ones. Done. There is no need to open part 2 and extract the files contained in it as well, however you do need to have both parts on your computer when extracting.

If you want to request a particular broadcast, please PM me or comment here and I'll see what I can do in my spare time. If you happen to have some good quality audio files for future sound mods projects, please PM me, because some audios are really hard to find. I mean REALLY hard.

I really hope you guys enjoy it. Test it out, rate it and please leave a comment of any kind. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

(Thank you all for the support and thanks to DYosua for modding the awesome Audio Editor created by Leftos and nesa24 of the NBA-live forums!)

All you need to do is open "part 1" and extract to the desktop both the files that it contains. You don't need to open part two, but you will need to download it as well. After that, you will have the two files you need and it will just be a matter of cutting/pasting the files into the MLB 2K12 game folder. That's it :)

Just like the ESPN version, this isn't supposed to be perfect: there may be some files that I completely missed out on and that I haven't replaced, so sometimes you might still notice the game playing the same stock music.

I actually have no problem with this, just adds more songs and variety!

Speak of the devil. Today the game played the stock music (just once in maybe 6 or 7 games of testing) during the lineup presentation. I went through the files and I found no audio that I could have missed. Weird. Still, as I said, that might happen just once in a loooong while. The way they have organized the audios inside their .bin files, it's impossible to find them all lol I have found audios that I have NEVER EVER heard in two years of playing this game!

Also, yes, this version includes a wider variety of songs compared to the ESPN mod, but that's just because there's plenty of audios to work with :) Hope you guys are enjoying it, I surely am! ;)

Nice work again! I started to work on one of these when the editor came out and it's way more work than it looks. So thank you for all your efforts and time.

You may want to try sorting the audio files by the "Length" column in the editor (sorting by duration wouldn't work perfectly because the duration is converted to a string). That will group the files that are close in duration together, so if 2K spread the presentation music in multiple files (but is approximately the same length) they may be easier to find.

Thanks for the heads up! I did try that, but I found it easier to just write down the IDs of the files I needed to replace and go with that, leaving the order the way it was. If I sort the files via the "Lenght" column, it gets even messier, because the sounds I replace would get mixed with some of the organist sounds, which are almost equal lenght as these tunes. At least they had the decency of putting together the audios that blare from the stadium speakers and those that are played in game, and not mix them with the other stadium sounds. The problem is that their order makes no sense...

How did you replace the music files? I thought they were encrypted!

Thanks to the user DYosua, who has tweaked the already existing NBA Audio Editor (for the NBA 2K series), we now have an audio editor that works with MLB 2K12 audio files. To this point we are able to edit all sounds except for the commentators and the PA announcer.

Wow, that's amazing! It's weird because just a couple weeks ago I was searching if it were possible edit the files, and learned it was impossible as of then. Thanks for this, already edited the jukebox myself. ;)

Also before I download the updated version that was just uploaded, which Fox theme is it? Because to my knowledge Fox has been messing with the theme throughout the years. It was actually just the NFL theme for a bit. Is the updated version just the NFL theme or actually the real MLB Fox theme that we all love and adore?

Yeah, I wasn't able to tell which theme they were currently using, but the other night I was watching an Indians game and saw that the Fox theme wasn't the one I put in the V1 of this mod. After some research I was able to find the audio I needed and therefore I replaced the wrong one with it. My suggestion is for you to try it out (backup the two original files that this mod is going to replace) and see if you like it. Personally speaking, I like this V2 theme way more than V1 :)
