Sco xY2Jx Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 <p>You'll be fine. </p><p> To be honest, the requirements for running a game like WMMA aren't massive as it isn't a graphics heavy PC game in the vein of like Civ, GTA, Football Manager etc.</p><p> An older laptop will still play it, things may just take longer to load. The game will use a resolution of 1366x768, bigger than previous games so you'll need to ensure you're laptop screen can accommodate that which I don't think it will. I'm not tech savvy but the game would take up your entire screen. In terms of specs, it should be fine but maybe someone more knowledgeable could help regarding the screen size.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I would suggest using the TomsHardware forums for all your PC tech questions/needs. It's on clearance for $199. $150 off normal price.

Others are basically saying, this computer seems to be very basic, which I think is what you're going for. If you are looking for something that will handle bigger things or grow, no, not a real good computer for that.</p><p> </p><p> To play WMMA5, you are good.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brycec03 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 If a laptop can’t play WMMA 5 could the person get around the issue by connecting to a tv? I think my laptop will handle it but figured I’d ask people with more knowledge about this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AQuebman Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 If your issue is the resolution than that should get around it. The only issue an older pc processing wise will have is it will take longer to process other companies and the passing days/weeks but just to run the game if your PC can handle a spreadsheet with a macro it can probably run WMMA5. I mean outside of resolution I think my toaster could run the wmma games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
