PC versions versus consoles (PS3 mainly)

[tmallory]

Hey everyone, I've been playing the PC version of 2k11 since launch. I've been seeing videos online of the console version, and I don't know it seems like it looks more life-like in motion and even visuals. Any of you guys have any input on how they compare?

Also, I get crazy stuttering when I'm playing, seems more obvious in My Player mode but I get it in regular games as well.

I'm thinking about getting a PS3 tomorrow so I was considering picking up 2k11 for it since the PC patch is TBD.

I've played it a lot on the PC and PS3.

Visually, the PC is a lot better... This is at MAX settings / sweat patches etc all added. Basically, if you are able to play it at 1900 * 1600 type resoultions it looks incredible.

The drawback obviously is the PC is a lot smaller. In my case, my laptop has an 18.4 inch monitor which is fine for me and I like playing this way at the moment as I just had a baby and it's convenient late at night.

I don't get any stuttering on my laptop.

Basically, if you can run it on the PC maxed out...it looks a hell of a lot better.

If you want to play on a big TV...consoles are better.

I've also played it a bit on the 360...IMO the 360 and PC versions feel 'tighter'. The PS3 version was the only one I felt had sliding.

Just my opinion. Hope it helps

PS3 is thest way to go without a doubt. The graphics are the same as 360 with most games but the PS3 has more graphics potential(ex. Uncharted Killzone series)(Watch PS3 vs Xbox 360 on youtube), throw in a blu-ray player & internet brower & theres no need for that PC anymore.. I'm posting this reply with my PS3.. PS3 IS THE BEST.. Both PS3 & 360 have better graphics than PC unless you wanna buy an expensive PC just for the graphics card & even then it'll be equal lower than the PS3graph

I am sorry are you saying PS3 has better graphics than high end PC's? If so i really don't know what to say besides you have not seen high end PC's,as a matter of fact my mid level PC has better graphics than the PS3.

You can max out graphically nba2k11 even with a 8800gt.You don't need a high-end pc.Pc version with Ricoy's courts,photo mode tweak and Ricoy's HD global file is unbelievable with almost photorealistic gfx.

I don't know how that guy has come up with 'PS3 looks better than the PC' version...the PC version has a dramatically higher resolution. It simply looks a hell of a lot better.

However...it's obviously on a much smaller screen.
