No, I've seen NBA Live 08's files from the 360 disc and I can say that they have a different layout.

Not sure how accurate this is, but I found what was listed as the minimum requirements on wikipedia:

OS: Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 CPU | CPU: Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz Single Core processor or equivalent (2.8 Ghz for Vista) RAM: 512 MB or more (1 GB for Vista) Disc Drive: 8x or faster DVD drive | Hard Drive: 10.5 GB or more free space | Video: DirectX 9.0c compatible * | Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible | Input: Keyboard or dual-analog gamepad

Video card with 128 MB or more memory and one of the following chipsets is required: ATI x1300

or greater | NVIDIA 6600 or greater | DirectX 9.0c compatible card with Shader Model 3.0 support.

well for me, im defintly gonna grab ot for the pc, i wa splaying live for the pc, since 04 with mods, and for me to leave live alone for now, is because to me even after mods, with 06, it got stale, because the game develoment got to sloppy, and to even be able to play the game, it took major patching work, with 2k8, even without mods, this game will be playable, out the box, as where if you were to buy nba live 08 for pc, you prob would break the cd in 2, thats how bad it is, i tryed to overlook alot of stuff for live, but its impossible and im glad its coming out next gen style! lets go!

Do not buy the second one. The difference between GDDR3 and GDDR2 is bigger than the difference between 256MB and 512MB when it comes to video cards.

Based on those two cards, I'm guessing that you want something under $150....The 8800GT seems to be the best value in that range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814133232, though if you're willing to go over that price, I'd take a look at the Radeon HD 4850.

# 112 Von Dozier @ 10/02/08 02:39 PM

Awesome.

Basically means if anything ever happens to this series (knock on wood), this game could still live on forever with customization on the PC. Just buy a wired 360 controller to play it, and you're good.

Also, second the 8800gt. I have one and it's amazing. Handles everything I throw at it, even runs Crysis at high.

Added to the pc version:

* Does not support any online functionality, including but not limited to online games, 2K Share, ReelMaker or Living Rosters

** Internet access required to install and authenticate the game.

So does this mean that mulitplayer is limited or that there isn't one at all?

Not just Michael Jordan!

Let's start thinking of a whole championship squad patch.

For real though, who knows what level of patching we will be getting, as this is a whole new ballgame/company we are dealing with here.

At this point it really is a wait and see approach. Maybe we can get one of the developers to give so insight on the level of "patchability" this game is going to have.

Oh I was the one who did that when I first posted the topic on this board. But yeah its accurate so I posted it since the creator of the game said it on the 2k board.

# 117 BamaBoy88 @ 10/02/08 05:28 PM

will the game be downloadable?

It's hard to figure out how that reads because it could just mean they don't have their own built-in servers, or whatever, but there could still be direct IP play for online games. And I really don't care about the other 3 things (share, reel, rosters) as those are just novelty things and besides the community will more than take of rosters.

So it's hard to tell. As someone who really doesn't play online much at all I really don't care, but I guess we'll just have to see once it's released.

# 119 Tha_Kid @ 10/02/08 07:00 PM

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.
