    Questions for PC players

    My XBox360 just got the dreaded red ring of death, so I'm considering giving up on the product and purchasing the PC version of this game.

    I wondered a few things:
    1. Do I need to buy some kind of hand-held device like you use with a playstation or xbox to play this game or will it work with just a keyboard and mouse controls?

    2. For those of you already in franchise mode on the PC..Does it give you the option of playing the AAA and AA games for your team? Just wondered if the PC version offers less features than the 360 one did.

    Thanks!

    Not by my game, but here are a couple of comments.

    xbox wired controllers work on your PC with a driver download. Wireless controllers require you to buy a pretty inexpensive wireless device to interface the controller with the PC. I recommend using a controller and not the keyboard/mouse.

    second, be careful. None of the fixes that are going on for the console versions have even been hinted in the PC versions. 2K has a history of either taking FOREVER to patch PC versions, or not patch them at all.

      You can use you existing 360 controller, nothing to buy

        If you don't own a wired controller, the wireless one won't work with the plug and play kit. The cord only charges the batteries, it's not for information transfer.

        I tried a brand-new wireless controller with the plug and play cord just a few days ago and it won't work with the driver download.

        Gotta be a wired controller or you gotta buy the <10$ wireless receiver for your pc.
