    What is "Crew Mode" ?

    Hi guys, I've only played 2K12 (and really looking forward to 2K13), but I hear a lot of 2K Vets talking about a "Crew Mode" from past 2Ks.

    What is "Crew Mode" ?

    Thanks in advance,

    Chairman

      Apparently the most important thing in NBA 2k. Even more important than the core gameplay! Yep, the game can be broken, as long as there's a crew mode. It's fine.

          Sigh....

          I am a crew head, but not all people who like crew have that "mentality" you just described. I don't play ranked matches because I'm tired of seeing the Heat, Thunder and Knicks, I don't play in Online Leagues cause (A.) they never finish (B.) too many people quit (C.) I can go on and on. I usually play a lot of organized team up games with my friends on Xbox and we play legit real basketball (if that's possible in a video game lol) I do like associations, but I prefer myplayer since I'll never make the league so Crew has been my thing, mainly in 2K11 when it was up&running.

          To the OP, crew is a game mode which allows you to take your myplayer and put him on a team with your friends and their myplayers (or regular players) and you guys player other teams and their myplayers in 5 minute quarters.

          Crew is a fun mode, very addicting but there were sooooo many problems with it. Teams would create 7'5 PG's and on with uncapped attributes (99 dunk, dribbling, 3 point shooting, etc.) teams you would play would cheese (spin dunk every play outside of their style of play) it was very frustrating. They took it out of 2K12 and to my belief, took it out to rework on the issues, coding problems, etc. I'm most likely wrong, someone on OS knows the truth. A lot of people bash the mode, a lot of people love the mode, it's one of those love it or hate it.

          To the guy I quoted, it is what it is. I for one, would not care if crew was included or not because this will be an amazing game, but, there is no other game mode I would find myself enjoying as much as I enjoy crew, even with all the problems the mode contains. I personally don't believe this should be a top priority as far as what 2K should be working on, as I am a gameplay first guy, but everybody has a different taste in what modes they prefer. Some people prefer strictly team-up, some people prefer Associations, hell some people prefer ranked matches, but to bash people (moreso the mode) who prefer Crew is ridiculous.

          To each his own man.

            What a great post. I feel exactly the same way you do. I'm still buying 2k13 but very disappointed that crew is likely out. EA really have been listening to their fans for Fifa and NHL clubs (their version of crew). Those modes work flawlessly: I'm talking no lag, no hacks (saved server side), little to no cheese. It sucks their basketball game is garbage. 2K copied ultimateteam but failed to copy EA's great teamup . I'd even be okay with something like 2k11.. just include it. A lot of the cheese teams are beatable anyway if you have good stick skills. Me and my friend were 6'7 and 6'9 and we won over 80% of our games, this was on PS3 though w/o hackers

                Actually i wasn't bashing anyone who likes crew. I was merely making fun of the people who obsess over it and go on and on about it. The ones who actually have that "mentality". There's nothing wrong with liking crew, i was just joking about the extreme crew fans that take it too far(and trust me there's a lot of em'). So relax man, it wasn't directed at you specifically, nor anyone else who just enjoys crew.

                  I like your mindset no problem with being a crew fan and I hope it returns but it gets annoying as hell when we get any bit of news on gameplay or myplayer and some random guy pops up saying

                  "omg this feature got in instead off crew what about crew where is 2k priorities!!"

                  It gets old and I'm sure if 2K left it in the way it was you'd have people dogging them for not fixing the exploits so its a lose lose situation for 2k on that front.

                    I agree with you 100%. It even got to the point where I would get annoyed with all the posts so I feel some of the OSers pain lol. Me personally, I would rather have crew perfect while in the game, then to just throw it on while it still has problems due to popular demand lol. But I've been playing 2K since 2K5 well before they had crew lol so I'm already accustom to playing without it.

                      "Crew Mode" is the only term that appears under the TOS as permitted for Off-Topic on the NBA 2K forum. If it wasn't there, half of the NBA 2K forum would be locked threads. Phew!

                        it's 2k's 2nd most popular game mode according to the poll on the 2k facebook page in my sig...

                        good reason to remove it.

                          obviously a gang banger mode in 2k with myplayers, you put a red or blue bandanna on and go to war with other myplayers online ya get guns, ya get to run into the crowd and beat people up and all that it's the 2k version of grand theft auto.

                            After seeing how crazy some guys act with the removal of crew, I think that poll isn't a valid source, I would't be surprised if it really was just 50 or 100 guys creating fake facebook accounts and spamming the poll...

                              The definition of crew mode for a lot of people on here.

                              1.
                              the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent, image, desire, etc of crew mode.


                              2. the idea, image, desire, feeling, etc., of crew mode itself.

                              3. the state of being obsessed by crew mode.

                              4. the act of obsessing about crew mode.

                              Otherwise known as obsession as well. :wink:
