Quick question: If I buy the game from steam, will I be able to use mods?

[Toaster]

Two things to be aware of:

1.The online graphics issue remains unsolved:
When playing online the game forces low graphic settings.

2.The Xbox360 shaders still haven't made it to the PC

About patches - the steam version is no different from the others, but at the moment 2K12 is not patchable using current methods, although the community will probably figure it out.

I am somewhat dismayed by issue #2 and VERY disappointed by #1.
I was hoping to become more of an online fiend this year, but it won't be as fun with "NBA Live 2005" graphics.
Since I am mostly an offline player I will still pick up a copy, but I feel disrespected by the devs, overlooking such a major issue.
it is especially very disappointing when comparing this with the level of feedback the X360 and PS3 communities receive. My dollars are just as green.

Sounds like an issue to contact Steam Support about. It seems like they either didn't get the correct info from the publisher, or some idiot at a desk didn't bother to read what he was supposed to be doing.
