NBA Games Compatible With Mac?

[DramaBoy]

Are any NBA Live or 2K games compatible with Mac?

I'm pretty sure they aren't by default, but can be played through the use of utilities like boot camp and the like. Mac users would be able to help you out more than I can there.

Search crossover games, it can run NBA Live 08. It's a windows program emulator. NBA 2K you would need a very good mac to run it through crossover games, but your best bet would be to install windows via bootcamp.

Then use your snow leopard or lion disc after install to install the graphics card drivers after windows has installed. note that if you have a mac with an intel hd 3000 graphics chip, you can't run NBA 2K, even with bootcamp. I have a macbook pro 2009 model which has just got windows on it, and it runs fine.

Actually, you don't need any Windows Emulators to run NBA Live games on Mac. You can run them natively right from the desktop with a wrapper. It's completely legal as long as you have the original game on a CD. I've forgotten how to actually do it, but you can check out [url]portingteam.com[/url]. It's a community of porters that "port" Windows games to work on Mac .

If you still can't figure it out, maybe I can upload the NBA Live 08 wrapper and share it with the community? I hope it will not be against the rules, because I will remove the actual game files?

2K games work best on Snow Leopard or Lion, I believe. I tried running NBA 2k10 on my Leopard and the FPS rate was very low even on lowest settings. Had to return the game .

I'll have to have a look at portingteam.com.

I have an iMac, and i just run 2k12 off the Windows section of my comp, thanks to bootcamp.
