What version WILL you be buying?

Sat Jul 24, 2004 6:50 am

As of right now, I am not sure which one I will be buying. I am thinking about the XBox version along with PC but I may get PS2 and PC.

Help me out!

Sat Jul 24, 2004 6:59 am

I will be getting both PS2 and PC. I will be getting PS2 for the online leagues I'm in. I will get the PC version so I can take pics for my leagues and such and such :lol: and get the beautiful patches some of you make :lol:

Sat Jul 24, 2004 7:10 am

After last year's bad decision to get Live on PS2, I'll be getting it on PC only.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 7:13 am

Yeah, i got both pc and ps2 this year but i will only take it on pc next year for sure.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 7:23 am

Xbox for me... Online play + best graphics = Happy me...

Sat Jul 24, 2004 7:27 am

PS2 and PC, just like the past two years.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 7:32 am

Oh and I'd like to know why if you could let me know. I am trying to make up my mind like I said.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 7:51 am

PS2 of course.

And Jackal, why was NBA Live 2004, a bad decision to buy on the PS2?

Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:15 am

Xbox and PC :D

Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:21 am

PC for sure here. and as to why? thats simple really. i can sit here playing nba live while watching the real NBA games on my tv. not to mention a pc is far superior to an console anyday of the week.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 9:27 am

---disclaimer- i do NOT want to start another gamecube arguement by posting this, i am just curious


did you just forget gamecube or leave it off cause you think it "sucks"?

my answer is PC tho. ;)

Sat Jul 24, 2004 10:33 am

I bought 2000-2001-2003 on PC.

This year however, I got a free PS2 and I was allowed to choose a game, duh I picked NBA Live 2004...but games like these, you need to be able to keep updating them otherwise they get boring. Patches are important for this game, it keeps things fresh.

It wasn't a mistake money spent wise, but it could've been spent better had I just waited for the PC version to come out. The PC version is cheaper + I get more out of it than I did on the PS2.

A game like NFS Underground, that can't be patched etc, now that's a PS2 worthy game. (Y)

Basically, if you're not going to buy it for 2 consoles, buy it for PC. The games lasting value/appeal is much longer than when you have to do all the work yourself by creating every rookie and adjusting their ratings with a joystick.

Nah, I'll stick to PC, let Andrew & Ben do the work. :lol:

I'm guessing he left it out because he doesn't own a Gamecube. The orignal question was:

Help me out!


Why would he want you to suggest to buy the Gamecube version, if he doesn't own one?

He put the consoles he owns in the poll, not because something else "sucks".

No point in advising him to buy the GC version (yes, I know you weren't...but what function would it have in the poll?) if he doesn't have a GC. :wink:

Sat Jul 24, 2004 11:09 am

but the title of the poll is

What version will you be buying?

;) But I understand him not listing GC if he doesn't have it, I was just commenting on what i saw on the poll :oops:

Sat Jul 24, 2004 11:16 am

Like I've said in previous posts, I will read the reviews 1st, then I wil either buy it for PS2 or GC; my PC doesn't have a good enough graphics card for Live 2005, but I could if someone could suggest an affordable, high-performance card that I could buy :)

Sat Jul 24, 2004 11:21 am

me too! i haven't heard anything on system specs...but if i can run 2004 with no problem, will i probably be ok on 2005?

Sat Jul 24, 2004 11:26 am

If it ran Live 04 well, you shouldn't have major complaints about 05.

The specs won't change dramatically. :wink:

Perhaps if you said: "Live 2000 worked like the shiznat, will 05 work the same way?" Pretty obvious, no.

However, not much of a change in specs from 04 to 05. :wink:

Sat Jul 24, 2004 11:38 am

thank goodness. i was really worried about that. thanks (Y)

Sat Jul 24, 2004 11:41 am

Looking for suggestions for a new graphics card to play Live 2005; mine is currently a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 12:41 pm

I forgot all about Gamecube.

I guess I kind of figured because it does not have online capability no one would buy it.

But thanks man, I did kind of forget ;)

Sat Jul 24, 2004 12:44 pm

As I've done for the past couple of years, I'll get the PC and PS2 versions. I didn't play the PC version as much this year as I was really into my Dynasty on the PS2, but I'll probably use the PC version for much more than patching this year.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 1:05 pm

Gee... this is a tough decision... :lol:
Hmm... do I want to be able to patch the game or not?
Oh, fine... I guess I'll get the PC version.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 2:48 pm

lol. i love your posts. you make me think you are the real GP....

Sat Jul 24, 2004 3:16 pm

I'll get PC, but the only reason I would want another platform would be PS2 (which I don't have), and it would be because of the players to play online on the PS2. There's just not enough 'good' or even 'average' guys online in the PC version, and plus, I can play my friend since he uses it on PS2.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 3:39 pm

PC pwns Consoles.

Why thank you... I learn from the master of trash talk and add in my own sarcasm. Have you ever seen the Best Damn Sports Show Period? They had a little segment called "Talking trash with GP" and he was talking about recycling.
