It's all about the graphics card with gaming. Getting the MBP with dedicated AMD is the ideal way to go. But, if you really don't want to do that, go for the quad core upgrade on the 13" and 16GB RAM. The storage is something only you can figure out based on how much stuff you store on your Mac/cloud services.

The better the graphics card the less lag you will encounter.

Thank you so much for your help!!! I went to the apple store this afternoon and showed an employee your message—we’re gonna try the 13” MBP with 16 GB RAM and 516GB storage upgrade first (and if the game doesn’t perform well I can always trade it out for either better processor like you suggested, or 15”) for cost reasons. I will let you know how the game works!
Thank you again for your reply it was very helpful!!

  Good luck! Remember, it's not just about what you have installed now but what packs you may want to add in the future. The more packs, the more processing your Mac will have to do 🙂
