No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

should they take out the most popular game mode My Player because that's technically a fantasy mode as well.

Hmm 23, he said if they take out the most popular mode My player ... and you responded with most popular says who?

i don't know what you are reading.

This.

BTW, to the crew fanatics:

1. No, Crew is not the most realistic mode in the game. I have never played on a court where I am facing 7 ft Martians who are rated 99 in everything and having time either stop or slow down. Maybe on the Moon somewhere, or another planet or the fictional land of Disney, but not in the actual Earth.

blame the lack of realism on cheaters, attribute caps which were too high, and cheesers. ALL solvable problems. What is 100% false is calling the crew format unrealistic. They ain't no bots in real life basketball! lol. So if you wanna get down to defining that...that's it. No one in the NBA has ever played vs a robot. Crew captures the first person POV experience equivalent to how everyone experiences basketball in real life. And Durant experiences it as Durant. Kobe experiences as Kobe with all his moves. etc etc. which leads to the gamer wants to experience it as himself toooo -- and in a team format consistent with real life basketball --- which is vs humans not robots. Do you know how much more baskeball IQ comes into play in 5on5 all human modes? Much more. When to cut, when to play help D, telling your teammates what to do, ....and sure it's fun to team-build, play the GM in association...but how fun to join up with your fellow gamers? Like, hey I need to put this team together we need to find a big man who can play D, etc. So much more dynamic. That's why you see the obsession with crew. Because the dynamism and potential for this mode blows the other modes outta the water.

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

...but its obvious MANY more do

That's the problem with you trying to call something else crap because of some cheesy online mode you so called sim players are in here crying about.

To make it simple for you - 23 is NOT comparing Dream Team to My Player (like someone tried to do). He's saying there are as many people that are happy to see the Dream Team than there are people crying about lack of Crews. Get it now? Bringing My Player into this was wrong in the first place.

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

Horrible comparison. While Shaqs were cheap and somewhat unpopular they were highly reliable, comfortable and offered more functionality than Jordans did. Jordans were about status and style. No one ever took a pair of fresh Js to the court to play in because they were to afraid to get them stepped on, dirty, or creased much like AF 1s. Crew and pick up are two different but similar modes, kinda like ms translator and google translate.

And the quality of these new jordans are terrible, you can't even play in them if you wanted too.

Back on topic.
I feel for you crew guys, even though this news doesn't affect me, because I'm a quick game guy. In my opinion I think 2k should have told you crew guys sooner, but I understand why so late, and hell they could have been testing it to see if it can make it into 2k13. The reasons they've given us all seem understandable. It's not like last year when they took it out, and they didn't explain why. Hopefully the new code will make online as smooth as they say, and crew can return then.

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

I never messed with Crew Mode so this isn't a big loss to me. I do enjoy Team Up though and I really hope the servers are improved this year. For the like the last three or four editions of NBA 2K it seems like they continue to go downhill. It's irritating to have a group of guys trying to get into a game only to have to battle server errors all night. I guess we shall see. I feel bad for the Crew guys though, maybe next year.

wait what lol. He said who cares about crew it just some fantasy mode. I said my player -- which 2k themself said is most popular - is also a fantasy mode. So that premise of it being a fantasy mode doesn't really fly.

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

No crew mode..oh well. I liked it but didn't like hacked 7 ft players hop stepping right under the hoop. I also didn't like having to change my console settings just to play a game.

I'll still be buying the game myself but if you don't like it then vote with your dollars and don't buy the game. Let 2k know your displeasure but whining about it here won't be of any help. People could always organize there own 3 vs 3 leagues. It wouldn't be as easy but it would be possible and I've seen it done with other games.

[Rdub33]

What is stopping crew lovers from gathering on one of several social media sites to create their own network of team up players. Does not sound too hard to pull off. If u have the gamer tags of all the crew people, u could just organize games via twitte, Facebook, google plus, Psn chat, etc.....

As for the rest of us who like controlling all 5 guys... Who is excited about my team?

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

2k always had weak online crew expose their problems so without competition they simply cut it now they say they rebulding it lol i think they wanted to say no need to improve online until a serious competitor appears EA maby idk am sure it will take a long time 1vs1 modes are easier so only these modes 2k will allow to play online random team up online is bs anyway

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

Damn.

I am still waiting for the obligatory, "If you like playing pick up games so much just go outside and play basketball" comment.

OS Forums - you're falling off.

Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

So what's the difference between crew and team up? I honestly don't know, they seem like the same thing just not using your my player.

Every year we look forward to better servers, every year the server complaints roll out. I hope the servers are better as well but i'm not getting my hopes up.

Even if they do have better servers, without crew mode their will be so many people trying to get in Pickup games i feel their will be heavy Lag traffic
