NBA 2K9, a PC Dilemma

[RaychelSnr]

With the release of the PC version of NBA 2K9, there are a few things for fans to consider before hopping on the bandwagon and purchasing the game (despite it's ultra-low $20 price of admission). Check out Alexander's Senate's take on the dilemma facing PC NBA 2K9 fans.

Quote:

"The PC version of NBA 2K9 was released yesterday for the low price of $19.99, and is essentially a port of the Xbox 360 version (which is great), but it is being released without any online functionality (which is not as great)."

Too bad too, I would love to take my Association with me. I find it odd that a computer game was released without keyboard controls in mind. Is it even an option? $20 is a great price, but like you, I already own it on XBox 360, and can't see the point of another purchase.

I think we all know the reasoning behind it and that is to put as little work possible into porting the game from the 360 to the PC. The way 2K did it was to take all of the big "work" aspects and either cut them out of the game (online) or force you into something (controller). Not a bad business strategy to get a few thousand extra units sold....but it's not the greatest strategy for the gamers that is for sure.

If I had a next-gen console, I'd get it for the console, not even a question (as long as I have the money, of course).

lol you've already made your PC game bias loud and clear, youvalss.

its all about the mods for me...

[PaulZweber]

What sorts of mods? You are right MM, cheap and easy.

To help confirm or whatever I took a 360 roster file and the PC game will not load it. It says that it is corrupted.
