NBA 2K9 Confirmed For PC

[Tha_Kid]

Boo to no 2k share or living rosters. How can you say the community will take care of the rosters when there is no community? It's the first year of 2k on the PC, no one knows how or if you'll be able to easily pass along rosters without 2K Share/Player DNA. Guess I'm ordering the 360 version again.

Actually, that would be sweet. You know, the legal way of downloading it just like EA did with Live PC a couple of years ago. This would save me the hassle of getting it from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

If you don't think there will be a community for this to download updated rosters, jerseys, etc, then you obviously don't know enough about PC gaming in the first place. Be offended/pissed off by that remark all you want but it really isn't hard to figure out that there will be downloads for this game.

Just get the 360 version and be happy with that then. I have no doubts of what I'll be getting.

I read that as it doesn't have any online functionality at all. That could actually be their justification for the $20 price tag on a 360 port since there are plenty of people who consider online multiplayer to be half of the game.

Wrong remarks don't offend me. Point is there is no community and there will only be a community for updated things if the game is open enough for editing, and you don't know that it will be. It's been said in this thread already, but there's kind of a big difference between the situation with Live on PC and 2k9. Again I'm not saying there won't be, but you're wrong if you think it's an automatic go.

You build it, they will come. I can guarantee there will be a strong 2k pc community. look at the 2 PC threads already. People want this game.

Madden PC is pretty much a close game (unmodable) and there is still a community at Football Freaks. Not sure why people are getting upset or offended, this is a win-win for everyone. Even better if the code is open for us to mod to heart's desire.

I see NZA, replying to this thread. That dude will figure something out! Not to mention the nba live pc community will blow this game up. I just hope 2k is secure and cool enough to let us mod. The EA Sports team made it easier for us to mod there games, they welcomed the creativity.

When I say "community", I'm talking about a modding community. How is there a modding community if the game is unmoddable (in regard to Madden)? If you're just talking about a regular community like the main board at OS then yeah but that wasn't what I was questioning.
