first of all, this should not be a discussion about pc-master-race vs. console bs.
I am a 2k player since 2k9 and since the release of the ps4, I no longer played the game on the pc.
After all the years, spending money for vc and all of it, I questioned myself what I really like to play the most.
I really love to play historic seasons ...and ..yeah I miss the modification options this website offers for many many years.
So I spent a little bit time in here today and researched about the possibilities for modification, little bit of research and stuff.
Well ... I'm still quite unsure about downloading rosters (97-98 season + draft class, 84-85 season etc.) because I can't find any yet and therefor I thought ...lets ask the community here.
What are the pros/cons between pc and ps4 version in your point of view?
Well I don't care about the graphic topic that much also I don't like to play online as well.
Hmm ..btw. I don't know if my pc setup good enough anyway .... but that's another topic
Thanks for your opinions.
My take.
3 years ago, I booted up my laptop and for fun, I downloaded NBA 2K14 for PC. I was always a console gamer prior to this. I was using intel integrated graphics, crappy processor, but could still run the game on medium settings. I was bored, so I started fiddling around with the game and looking things up on it. I found a link the UBR, and my video game life changed forever.
I downloaded the UBR, and was shocked to see I had every team/season at my disposal, I was in heaven. I took a VGA cable and hooked my laptop up to my 50 inch tv, and played the game for a bit with that roster. Meanwhile, my XBOX One was collecting dust, and I was sparingly playing the next gen version of NBA 2K14. I immediately started searching on Craigslist for an affordable yet powerful enough computer to play the game. I ended up finding a good one, and the guy wanted to trade me straight up, Xbox One for the PC (tower). I did the trade, hooked up my PC to my 50 inch tv via HDMI, and the rest is history. I spent over 6000 Hours on NBA 2K14, and even got into modding myself (And joined the UBR team later on with some of my work). I am all about the classic NBA, I love it.
When NBA 2K went Next Gen on PC, the modding community took a hit, because we had to start from scratch. NBA 2K15 we didn't have much modding at all, NBA 2K16 it got a little better, and with NBA 2k17, we have had the most activity since NBA 2K14. We still don't have a REDMC type roster editor, but we can do almost everything else we could before. I got out an All Time Teams Roster that has 100% accurate portraits, and the best players of all time for each franchise, perfectly compatible with MyLeague or PlayNow, and I got out a Fantasy Draft Roster that has all the best players of all time in a draft ready for MyLeague, and I am pushing out an ultimate classic teams roster soon. Han Roster has a roster out there that incorporates many new classic teams by overwriting some of the current classic teams. His roster is good for Play Now with those teams.
The big difference between Console and PC (Other than slightly better graphics, and smoother cut scenes with no FPS drops, as long as you have a good rig), is the mods. The rosters, the scoreboards, the cyberfaces, the basketballs, the SFX mods, the net mods, the body modifications, the jerseys mods, the portrait mods, etc. Its all of that. I truly feel that if you have a good enough rig to handle the PC version, GO FOR IT. Also, I have my PC in my living room, and have it plugged in HDMI to my TV, using an XBOX One Wireless controller.... it's like having a console but with all the added benefits the PC version has to offer.
My vote: PC!
