Unbelievable (2k vs. Mod Community)

Re: Unbelievable (2k vs. Mod Community)

Hardware has little to do with the cyberfaces. Modders take current models and just adjust them to better fit the player's actual face, the models keep the same amount of polygons that 2k provides. For the textures, they usually take a current photo and literally paste it over 2k's textures then blend it to match.

2k is lazy, it has little to do with hardware.

Exactly, this is an art issue, not a graphical one. I refuse to believe Kobe Bryant can look like the real Kobe Bryant, but Kevin Durant can't look like the real Kevin Durant because consoles are too outdated.

Re: Unbelievable (2k vs. Mod Community)

Then you don't have very similar hardware.

NBA 2k13 lags on half the courts in anything but broadcast view on the consoles. Does your computer do that? If so, time to upgrade. But 2k can't upgrade until a new system comes out. Basically, the consoles just can't handle anymore as it is.

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

I find it hard to believe that its absolutely maxed out. Also, my game doesn't lag on other views....

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.

Don't kid yourself. The Show's graphics and player models are lightyears ahead of MLB 2K. Soriano was one of the very, very few obvious mistakes of a player model in the Show.

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

lol is that Booker T? I don't like the mop textures they used as dreads.

Really...that's the thing you noticed that's wrong with him lol

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.

You're assuming the modders want to be hired.

Re: Unbelievable (2k vs. Mod Community)

AmaroWaade (one of the best modders in the community) has posted on Ronnie2k's twitter, showing his work and asking if he can work on the game. You're assuming they wouldn't want to be hired.

1. It's multi console. Anything that works for the PC would work for the PS3, making the texture/model is not something that requires extra work for each console. It would be Universal from the get-go.

The only thing I might say is, maybe if all the stuff was this good PS3/360 would lag, due to limited and old/bad hardware.

Wrong. All cyberface, court, jersey patches are all overwritten versions of the original, maintaining around the same amount of space as the original. So regardless of how the quality of the textures are it will not lag. If we're talking about heavy modding to lighting, shadows, and more stuff, maybe. But it's not a hardware issue it is seriously laziness.

This is an LOL. Why wouldn't they want to be hired? I think working on a 2k game over another job would be ideal. Especially if its something thats easy for them to get paid more then a regular job.

I just need mods for 360 and I would be cool. Pretty sure I speak for everyone.

2K13 doesn't lag on any cameras.

Durant's face isn't a texture resolution or polygones's number issue. It's an art problem.
