NBA 2K13 PC Differences from Console Versions

[Aderito]

While PC users are able to modify the game and enjoy a cheaper price than the console version of the game, it seems like each year there are various features or modes that disappear without prior warning from 2K Sports. Well, those who were able to purchase a disc version of the game (note that digital distribution is delayed two weeks) have found the main differences between the PC and Console versions of the game.

looks like the classic case of getting what you pay for... 2k probably doesnt make as much $$$ off of CPU so they put out an inferior half finished product

This doesn’t really make sense? I’ve always said that the best way to stop piracy is to have lots of fun online features and they shot themselves in the foot doing this. Giving away 3/4 of a product which seemed like we were promised all of just sounds ridiculous. I understand piracy is ruining the PC gaming community but in my opinion 2K just did the one thing that might make more people pirate it. I hope not though, if that’s the case we might lose our PC version all together or get saddled with dumb restrictions like always on internet or online connection at start-up.

Re: NBA 2K13 PC Differences from Console Versions

Man i swear this is the first time i have ever purchased a 2k PC game, and man i am so happy. No i do not play the modes that 2k missed out on for the PC, but the quality in graphics, modding, great frame rate movement, and overall experience is well worth the purchase.....So now i dont have to worry about weird updates popin up on my screen demanding me to update my game, under the hood patches thats sent out in secrete can no longer attack me, also now i know everything that enters my computer and im able to find it........PC gaming i feel is a higher level of simulation gaming & control.

Man i can say that we have so much freedom with the PC version. Man im just lost for words....

bye bye microsoft....i leave you with your online complaints, bad patches, terrible customer service, and terrible device management

No reason to even buy that then if you're on PC. I'd download it.

I mean why don't they release a decent PC version with a great multiplayer? That's a guarantee it will sell. Make it a little more expensive like $45. PC gamers buy good multiplayer's games you know.

Sometimes I really don't get 2K's logic.
