PC version same as 360?

[chivs890]

I've always been a console gamer, but have recently got a gaming PC. So I was looking at 2K12 for this year and saw that the PC version is much cheaper and I'll be able to play it at higher graphics settings on PC, as well as all the stuff you can download like faces, court changes etc.

So I was wondering if the PC version of 2K12 is the same gameplay wise as the 360 version?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Yup, same thing. Expect them to take about a month longer for the inevitable patch to come out though. But PC is def the best way to go.

Well, not quite:

From http://www.nba-live.com/?p=1550

• Online still forces you to play on Low Graphic Quality settings (same as 2K11 & 2K10)
• The console’s Lighting Engine did not make it into the PC version again this year
• The Custom Arena Music feature is not in the PC version
• Courts are inaccurate for non-US versions of the game
• No Classic Kings or Warriors teams
• There are no alternate control schemes

last year it seemed like the 360 was more responsive, but I'm not completely sure about that...maybe someone else could chime in?

The patch wait is HORRIBLE...I think one year it came out in March or April or something ridiculous.

Well, not quite:

So the question is, is it work $30 for those listed missing items?

one thing about the PC version that's awesome is the custom mods people come out with....better cyber faces, authentic looking score overlays, generated draft classes with real portrait photos of players, etc.....all the little details

Why force us to play in LOW settings online? My PC rivals that of NASA's and I have 50 Mb/s down and 10 Mb/s up connection?

For me personally, all I really care about is the PC versions gameplay being as smooth and fluid as that of the 360 version. Is it?

I find playing defense on the PC version more tighter than both consoles. I mentioned this on the impressions thread about how playing defense feels "slippery" on PS3. The PC version I'm able to stay in front of my man because the controls for playing defense is more responsive to me.
