Bah... 2K16 on Xbox One or PC?

[imdahman]

I'm getting back into 2K after several years off and I now have a great rig to run it (in the past I played on 360).

This season is also the one where I'm getting an Xbox One... but I did wanna wait a bit to see what the holiday bundles are like.

So now I'm in a pickle... which system do I get this game for??

PC = Better graphics, 60fps (my rig is a beast), some limited modding
XB1 = Larger, more robust community, better access to community rosters.

I've also heard in the past that PC has been an afterthought. Is this still the case? If I happened to find NBA2k16 for 50% off on PC, should I take advantage?

I played nba 2k15 on PC. If you are into playing offline then you cant really go wrong with PC version. However if you want to play online like mypark or head to head your most likely wanna go with console. Bigger population on console. (there is usuaully at least 3000 on PC from what steamcharts says but since servers are split on regions most those people on UK or that side of the world so when I would jump on the servers was pretty empty.I live in texas.)

I just got a xbox one this month and going to get 2k16 on it. I'm really down to play pro am and my park and just wanna be sure there will be a good population to play against or with.

Green man gaming usually has 20 or 25% discount for PC.

Xbone if you have a ton of friends to play with.

PC version is exactly like next gen minus the face scan.

I already have PC version preordered and planning on getting ps4 version soon.

Yeah, part of the dilemma is that I found NBA2K16 for PC for 50% off... I mean, I'll pay the CDN exhange rate... but it's still 50% off!

For what it's worth, I didn't think the PC's graphics for 2K15 were better than the consoles. If anything it was worse. It felt like the shaders looked a little more primitive and plasticky. I suppose it lends itself to modding better though. I usually pick it up for a console for the full features and ease of big screen play (though I will probably get a Steamlink to address that), and the pick up PC for cheap when it invariably goes on a Steam sale.

The trickier question is really PS4 or XBox One. The PS4 seems to run slightly better and in 2K14 had better lighting contrast, but the XBox had had some features I really liked, like the automatic replay saving (which seemed to not work as well or at all for 2K15) and the trigger vibrations.

When you wanna play park, you will always find a spot to play...Not just negatives in having a smaller community.

Also, the game is much cheaper on pc, like you already stated. Also the 60 fps should be enough in my eyes (haha pun intended), to decide between console and PC...

From what I recently read there is 2-3k players online on pc. But probably a higher percent of hackers and script kiddies

One reason I don't play online...the other is I NEVER saw anyone online as a rough rider.
