Unbelievable (2k vs. Mod Community)

In response to this, these two posts pretty much say all that needs to be said:

I'm not sure why your game is lagging like it is, but cyberfaces do literally nothing to slow the game down. 2k could definitely improve the quality, they just don't/won't for some reason.

This might be silly but can NBA 2k13 PC work on a Mac? I just got 2k13 for my 360, but after seeing many mods that I like I want to switch.

I'm not sure if they made a Mac version, but I have Windows 7 on a Bootcamp partition, so I just run any games I want off of that.

Does that run on Mac or what? I just don't want to have to buy a PC laptop for 1 game.

I wasn't comparing MLB 2K and The Show, I just meant to compare other sports games, to NBA 2K.

I'm not sure about 2k13, but 2k11 and 2k12 ran pretty well on my 2+ year old Macbook Pro. I bought 2k13 on Xbox this year, and I doubt I'll get it on PC as well, but I'm fairly confident that it too would run just fine on my Mac.

You would have to get Windows 7 and either also buy Parallells Desktop at http://www.parallels.com/download/desktop/ or learn how to use BootCamp at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461 or http://www.digitaltrends.com/computi...-7-on-an-imac/, but running Windows on your Mac can be done. However, this game like many other PC games will NOT run on Mac OS X so you'd have to use one of the methods above.

I may just get it and see if it works. I'd just rather have a 30 dollar game that has no limits of what you can do then a 60 dollar game where I have to wait months for updates.
