2k13 PC vs Console differences

[ebucemag]

I wanted to start a thread about the differences between the two versions.
If someone has both a console and PC version of NBA 2k13 and could compare gameplay, graphics, and/or feauture differences that would be great.
Hopefully this year we get self-shadowing.

In Readme file system requirements of NBA2K13 is different from previous NBA2k9-2k12 (which were identical). So, maybe at last we will have better graphics with self-shadowing

[Vlad2010]

Just saw screenshots of PC version. AGAIN — no self-shadowing!!!

[ebucemag]

You serious...
Any features or modes missing (obviously all-star weekend)?

[JaoSming]

no VC currency, no My Player Closet (clothes), no MyTEAM, no All Star Weekend, no 3on3 Blacktop Online with MyPlayers, no Online with friends outside of Online Association,

But just think of what pc has that consoles don't

Just think of how superior PC version would be if it had everything. they can't sell many copies if they don't put effort in! if PC version was identical to console version plus online, people would be more inclined to buy it, since it's much better..and cheaper

[Zophis02]

Yeah they need to add MyTeam to the PC version that is some garbage.

Wow. PC users must be really low on 2k's priority list. Fucking annoying.

[Andrew]

At least it's cheaper, I guess. Still, a slap in the face to a very passionate portion of the fanbase.

[RR]

what about custom music (arena/menu), guys?

[JaoSming]

nopes

[Lean]

And no self-shadowing too? That has been missing on the PC for three years now!

[Stress Fracture]

So, is it like saying that the console version is a better thing to buy than the PC version?

[JaoSming]

yes, the console version is better vanilla.

but once the mod machine starts up....forgetaboutit

[jmmontoro]

I haven't seen a single reference to NBA Today and similar features, are those still there?
Also seems that My2K rank doesn't carry over from 2K12, is it true?

[Leftos]

jmmontoro, NBA Today must be there, because when you start an Association there's an option that should be enabled soon, allowing you to start from the start of the season, or the current point in time.

[JaoSming]

NBA Today and RealNBA all that shit is there. Showed up after a few games, guessing after the online kicked in.

My2K rank doesn't carry over. On PC you have to create a whole new account too.

[jmmontoro]

Thank you both, Steam better release it cheap.

[Lean]

yes, the console version is better vanilla.

This too. CAN I PATCH NAO?!?

[JaoSming]

yes, but for uniforms you have to use the chinese tool

[The X]

At least it's cheaper, I guess. Still, a slap in the face to a very passionate portion of the fanbase.

Not much cheaper. $70 for PS3, $60 for PC. I ended up just pre-ordering PS3 again.

[Lean]

yes, but for uniforms you have to use the chinese tool

I am that much left behind eh?

[RedPhazon8]

Has anyone tried to see if the All-Star DLC is in the game like the pre-order teams were? Or is it a no go?

[Patr1ck]

Does the PC version have an autosave option? Damn console saves every other screen.
