You can, although it may not have the power to run the game at max settings. Also, a lot of mods tend to put more of a strain on the GPU than the game itself.

So I take it from a financial standpoint, consoles are cheaper, you just don't get the mods?

Yes. Also the games are cheaper, a lot. Also no need for 5 dollars monthly payment for online gaming. I never bought a game at full price. Always on discount. Few months ago I grabbed free Battlefield 3. For example, LA Noire is 6 bucks now (Complete Edition). It used to be 40 bucks. If you really don't have the urge to play the game on its release date you won't pay over 20 bucks for a game. With DLC's. Long term it pays off.

As for NBA 2K, they have done really good job with optimizing their game for PC. I guess that they did the specs they released on Steam 'just to be sure'. Because difference between Minimun and Recommended is big. Also they release specs without any specific video card and processor listed.

Pc is cheaper your build will cost the most but in long run you will save on games

Re: 2k15 console/PC

Well I built a gaming PC about 2 years ago with the intentions of it "holding me off" until the next gen consoles came out. All I can say is I haven't found a reason yet to justify buying a console. I'm not much of an online player but I still manage to hop on and get an online game from time to time.

I think the modding community is cautiously optimistic that we'll be able to use some of the same tools to mod 2k15. It could be a whole new ball game though and it might be a very slow first half of the season for mods. That's just something to consider.

Graphically, if you build a good PC, it's going to look better and play smoother than the consoles. Building a good PC is going to cost you more than a console though for sure. But like 8KB24 and a few guys have said you'll make up the difference in the long run because game prices drop much compared to consoles.

I believe that's true. I have a PS4 but that's because of the lack of room I have at my place right now not because consoles are cheaper.

On PC you can get some awesome, more mature games for very cheap.

The last few years, yes. The PC version hasn't seen a patch in I don't know how long. But you have to weigh that against the positives. With the ability to directly edit game files, the modding community can do some pretty amazing things.

But I'll say this: if you're only looking at a gaming PC for this game, it's not worth it. If you plan on doing more gaming than just sports and like games like The Witcher series, you won't be disappointed.

Yes and I'm still pissy that 2k13 was not patched....this year might be different though because of Leftos....no pressure of course

Re: 2k15 console/PC

Im kinda late to this party but if you do go the PC route build your own do not buy a pre built system. It is not hard at all to do and you will save a ton of money.

If you are a member of reddit there is a great subreddit on there called /r/buildapc. Those guys can work with your budget and get you the most bang for your buck. Most of the users over there are very helpful.

Serious question here..

I've never been much of a gamer, outside of sports games, therefor I have never owned a gaming PC..

Is the PC version of the game just as good/the same as the console version? I'm somewhat inclined to get a PC and the game simply because I love the customization and the classic roster capabilities..

Can someone explain the benefits or lack of benefits with getting the PC version? I always see comments like "if only we could do that on the console" which has always made me believe the console version was just much better.. I just wish to be informed from someone who knows more about it than I.

If you play a lot online and have friends that do as well, console. If you want to see the full potential of NBA 2K15, PC... but it won't be cheap to get one that could do the game justice.

Re: 2k15 console/PC

I think for a casual gamer consoles always going to be a better option, unless you need a desktop PC anyways so might as well get a decent build that can run most games since you might become interested in others once you get into it. I'm a PC first kinda guy nowadays, but the truth is that gaming on a PC is not as user friendly as some of the more fervent supporters make it seem to be as you can encounter a wide range of issues that don't always have a clear solution because of the vast amount of different hardware setups. If you have the patience and understand some basics of modern computers then yes, the rewards are well worth it. If not, stick to a PS4.

I do want to upgrade and get a new PC anyways, that's why I'm leaning towards it. I ruined my new laptop and thought my next PC might as well be used to play 2k since I've always wanted the roster editing capabilities.. I've saw videos, and a lot of the modding and stuff I think I could learn to do myself, so I could see it being very rewarding.. I used to mod items/clothes/etc for the sims, so hopefully I can learn to do the same for at least faces on 2K..

Any recommendations on what I should buy? I already have an extra 40inch TV that's just sitting the the closet, I thought about setting it up using that for my screen.

You can go to reddit ( http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc ) and post your demands and they will do it quickly and within budget. Also probably best bang for buck deal. Off top of my head i can recommend 8 core 3.2 ghz processor, beast motherboard to go with it, 4-6 gb graphics card, 8-16 gb of ram.
