Timeline for MAC availability

Curious if there are any updates on MAC availability for games anywhere in the near future?

I have purchased many versions of college and pro basketball in the past and would quickly purchase those and football if they operated on a MAC.

Just isn't reasonable to own a PC just for these games. I tried a Windows tablet in the past and too clunky.

Funny enough, I just spent over 3k on a Macbook Pro 2019 and have joined the club. I'm going to look into vmware but definitely would prefer a pure OS version to use all the power I'll have...

I just want to follow-up and saw I got one of the games running like a beauty on mac. Caveat: You need VMWare Fusion which costs $$.

To do this, setup a Windows 10 iso image on VMWare Fusion, and then install a DDS game.

I bought a MacBook Pro 2018 in January of 2019. It’s the first MAC I own and I’m obsessed with it. As a programmer/developer, it was the type of computer I needed. But for a customer of Wolverine Studios it hasn’t been the best experience. I didn’t want to mess with the hard drive in the MacBoom with partitions or anything, so I figured out how to install Windows 10 on an external hard drive. Sure, it’s not the most convenient thing having to have an external drive anytime I want to start up in Windows but it is getting the job done for sure.

As a Mac owner this is devastating. I would throw my money in a heartbeat at each of the college and pro versions of basketball and football. I play a lot of OOTP and FHM, but I am begging for a football, basketball and/or college version of a sports sim.

I guess I will keep dreaming..

You can still play these games on a Mac. It's the only way I play them now. Get yourself VMware Fusion 12 for free, get Windows up and running and you're good to go!

Thanks for this, man! I thought I may have looked into this last year and something didn't work, but I really can't recall. This gets me pumped.. as long as my 10 year old Mac can handle it.

It's a game changer for sure! I always have my MacBook on me so being able to keep up with my online leagues using WS games is great.
