Im with you 110%. Can't wait.

cocobee....its been years but I used to post over there at nlsc. Last time I bought Live was in 2001 right before Andrew took over the site and Tim left to become Live's producer....ah memories. Live 2000 was it.

Sports games on the PC have always been a niche genre in my opinion.

You have your "joystick" jockeys who love to have control of each individual players and who are so deft at the controls can shake and bake you outta your socks to get to the rim everytime.

In 360 land we call them cheesers.

But I think that true simmers have always kinda leaned towards the PC.

In the olden days ( ) games like Front Page Sports Football and Baseball were great on the PC. The graphics were ok for the time but the replay value and online leagues over multiple seasons were what made them better as a pc game because consoles at the time didn't offer this.

Then there were guys who offered all kinds of mods (non graphical) that allowed you to offer salaries and extended stats via an external application. At this to the fact you could host all this info online so everyone had access to it in said online league, again made it something the consoles could not offer.

The consoles are catching up in that now we can play seasons online one at a time save NCAA which offers a limited dynasty. And NBA 2K has been offering online leagues for a couple of years now.

But with the PC version if you can somehow access the raw stats and data, there will be utilities that allow you to edit stats via a spreadsheet or database as opposed to editting via the create a player screen one player at a time. And who knows maybe access to draft classes to import custom draft classes.

The potential here is almost limitless. Image a mod via the PC that would allow you to play previous seasons (MJ in 2K9 anyone).

So yeah the 360/PS3 version will be in my library no doubt. But with the potential of this on the PC and for 20 bux.

WOW!!!!

Its a 360 port. So if you have CPU that can run the newest games, you should be in great shape. You get the 360 version for 40 bucks cheaper and the potential to be able to mod the game. If I had a top line pc this would be a no brainer.

I wonder if my computer can handle it...
