Lets get this started early....
The 4th patch has been released for next gen right before The Holiday season so that means for the most part,2K can focus most of their energy on next years title. I, for one, could care less about most modes in this game, but the one thing lacking in this years game(the last 3 years i might add) is the REAL Crew mode.
Not the BS "Crews" mode we had for current gen....I mean the NBA 2k10/NBA 2K11 Crew mode. For those of you who have forgotten, or have no idea what the REAL Crew mode is supposed to look like and how its supposed to feel as opposed to what we were given, here's a look:

All I'm saying is, the community has spoken, and we want the REAL crew mode back...not THE PARK Mode, not 3 vs 3 or 5 vs 5 Blacktop mode, not DLC Legends, NOT Current gen Crews which was just a blacktop mode with 3 vs 3 or 5 vs 5 settings with no nba rules. 2K....we're talking to you. We as fans demand that you give us what we ask for. I believe the 2K Community has stood pat long enough with enough of your rhetoric about how you didnt have enough time, or your servers werent up too par, or you guys needed to fix what was wrong online with the glitched myplayers.
You guys implemented your "FIX" with the addition of Virtual Currency, and the myplayers are saved server side, so theres no chance of people hacking.
You guys have finished updating your servers to catch up to todays standards so we shouldn't have a problem there.
As i see it, with Ps4/XBox One, there shouldn't be anything you guys can't achieve within a years time.
Last year you guys created the "Crews" mode in 2 days.....can't we get what we finally want if you actually spent a few months on this mode?
when Nba 2k12 came out....we got this excuse from 2k:
"We love My Crew," Thomas said. "But it's one of the more complicated features to put online. If we wanted to have a game this year, we needed to keep the feature set tight and small. When you get involved with Crews, there's a whole thing with data exchanging that gets involved."
My Crew was the online experience in NBA 2K11 where gamers took their created player from the "My Player" career mode, formed up teams and, in an environment supporting 10-player multiplayer, ran some ball. It was like having a regular rec league game, except online (and with guys who had mad skills).
Though Thomas cannot promise anything, he also sincerely did not rule out My Crew's return in future editions, attributing its absence in NBA 2K12 solely to the new codebase.

My thoughts- I played Crew mode a lot in #NBA2K11, really love that mode. But it was broken & if dev doesn't think it's ready, then it's not

All the dev guys love that mode and know you do too. I am sure it'll return eventually, but dev determined it was simply not ready this year
Jeff Thomas-Director of Development at Visual Concepts
on Why Crew Mode couldn't be put in NBA 2K12
"Every line of code for our online game was rewritten this year," said Jeff Thomas, the director of development at Visual Concepts, the 2K in-house studio that makes NBA 2K. "It was a huge undertaking by our top team here, and we put our top team on it because we knew we had to get results."
NBA 2K13
This was quite possibly the most insulting of all the excuses, considering it only took 2 days to create CREWS mode for current gen.....
During a recent interview with US Sports Down Under, NBA 2K13 Producer, Erick Boenisch let the cat out of the bag, as he confirmed no Crew Mode for NBA 2K13. This marks the second year in a row Crew Mode will not be featured in the game.

We didn’t have time to add a crew mode this year, but its definitely something we will be looking at moving forward because the demand is certainly there.
I'm not attacking developers, nor am i attacking The OS community, all I'm asking for is a working CREW mode on Ps4 or XBox One with improvements to the mode with nba rules inside an arena like we had it before on Ps3 and Xbox 360 with titles like NBA 2k10 & NBA 2K11 .
You guys chime in...am i asking for too much?
Steve OS, LD2k, and the rest of the community, can we get the REAL crew Mode Ball rolling early this year?
