No... their is a difference between a GFW title and a GFW LIVE title. Many games are GFW title but thats just means that they have to meet certain settings/options put in place by MS such as a certain amount of screen resolutions, XBOX 360 controller support etc. That doesn't mean that it supports Live (Achievements, Gamerscore, Friends list, Messages etc). However, if its a GFW Live game (Gears of War, Viva Pinata, Fallout 3, Shadowrun etc) then it WILL support all of the features found in the 360 version so you can add to your Gamerscore and still communicate with gamers on your XBOX Live friends list cross-platform. Now try to follow me here... Even if a game is a GFW LIVE game it still doesn't mean that you can PLAY cross-platform between 360 and PC users (thats a decision made my the devs) but you will still have the ability to communicate with them by sending/receiving messages (voice, text) and still adding to your Gamerscore by getting Achievements.

What Im saying is that I hope that 2K makes the PC version a GFW Live game AND includes cross-platform play with 360 users (which will still have the biggest community of gamers playing this game online) so that all will be well for me and I dont feel isolated from my XBOX Live friends.

it'd also be pretty sweet if you could play the same association on 360 and pc if they're both connected to the internet. idk if that's even possible, but that would be a huge selling point for me

I am fairly unexperienced in the PC gaming department. I used to play Live on PC back in the 99-03' days but I had problems at times with the fluidy of my computer. My biggest problem is playing the game on a 17" computer screen compared to a 46" LCD. Do you guys hook it up to your TV when playing?

I do, I have a Samsung 50" 1080p DLP connected to my PC by HDMI. However, I do realize that MOST people do not and their PCs are in a totally different room than their HDTVs/Consoles. We will find out the specs/features on this version soon (hopefully) but I feel that some gamers here need to really think about this decision carefully before running out and getting the PC version. Their is a lot of factors to consider depending on what your set-up looks like, where most of your friends play and exactly what features/settings will ship with this game.

Hey guys.
nevermind patching, just getting a real NBA SIM for PC is amazing news, especially in a year when EA scrrews us again. and I am just your european PC gamer. an 360 where i live goes for around 500$ so it isnt really an option. im so happy right now!

CHURCH!

Great news for PC users. The question is.. are we able to mod/patch in 2K9. Michael Jordan patch?
