    Re: No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

    This is my problem with them taking out crew and I'll try to keep it peaceful and somewhat unbiased.

    Personally, I didn't use glitched players and neither did my crew. We got our player up around low to mid 90's (Mine was a 6 foot 3 93 OVR PG). It didn't take that long but we would also play some crew games with our players when they were not rated as high. The thing is, we usually would beat glitched players. 9 feet players with 99 OVR were beatable. Now of course it was hard, but I'm always up for a challenge. We didn't always win, but beating those guys was much more fun than destroying players who had regular MyPlayers. Now if the glitched players are still your main beef with Crew, didn't Ronnie2K tweet that all the player data for blacktop and such would be stored server side? So couldn't they do the same for Crew? And they said they are working on the servers but what if the servers are still how they've been forever? Didn't they make the same promise last year? Now I was highly disappointed when Crew was taken out of 2k12 but it was okay because I could and would often pop in 2k11 and play crew there, but now that the servers are gone my favorite game mode in 2k is gone with them. I could play Team Up but too often my friends get sent to the other team and the players in public team ups are simply horrible. I'm pretty much stuck to playing private team ups when we have enough people online. Now of course I'll still enjoy team up, but I have a feeling it might be like in 2k12 where I have no reason at all to play MyPlayer (I hope I'm wrong). I'll still buy the game and enjoy, but it's rather upsetting that my favorite thing to be put in to 2k is gone. It was the main reason I had been looking forward to 2k13 since 2k12 came out. Nothing on NBA 2k11 was more rewarding to me than taking my MyPlayer along with some of my friend's players and using strategy and skill to outsmart and outplay the other team. A HUGE chunk of the online and MyPlayer experience is gone. I'd take the glitches and everything with the same old crew mode than none at all. I've heard that we will be able to 3v3 with our MyPlayer and friends but that's not as good because I can't take my team against a strangers team and go at it in a full 5v5 game. I definitely understand why those who don't care about crew don't care about this news, but at least you guys should try to understand why us who love it are pissed. Well at least now I have a reason to hopefully look forward to 2k14.

      And as for the hacking/monster pics.. reminder: PS3 didn't have any hackers. Just cause your console easy to hack doesn't mean crew was like that for everyone, us PS3 games actually got to play a good share of decent fair games, especially in 2k11 with the introduction of some positioning cap, small as it was.

        I'm not going to bother reading all 32 pages of complaints. Haters can boycott the game all they want, saying they won't be giving 2K their precious video game moneys, but at the end of the day, 2K will make more money on this NBA game than any basketball game ever has. Personally, I hated crew because hackers destroyed the mode, and the quality of online gameplay was poor to begin with.

        The concept of crew is fantastic, but the implementation is beyond dreadful. I'd rather have no mode than a broken mode. Still pumped for the game's release, and ignoring all of the butthurt comments. I'm glad they finally confirmed that the broken hack mode isn't returning this year. It won't stop the complaints, but at least all these speculation threads can go away for a few months until 2K14 talk starts up prematurely, as always.

          I'm glad they actually told us though instead of keeping us guessing. I'm still buying 2k13 but am pretty disappointed. Honestly if no mention from 2k about the removal of crew AGAIN, I probably would have cancelled my preorder. Hopefully we'll see crew in 2k14 but I learned by now not to get my hopes up with 2k and their online. Or I don't see why they can't maybe give it to us as DLC. Make some extra money off us die hard crew heads, and that also would keep some of the kids out looking to exploit probably.

            Look man - they tried. Couldn't get it done. They accepted that fact and prepared for the backlash. The company isn't stupid or blind. Seems they are trying to raise their standards with online modes and Crews is too important to mess up. We might not LIKE the decision, but it sounds like it's the right decision. Have to respect it if that's the case.

            i'm just not ready to take 2k's word again based of 2k12 so i'm just overly critical now. i really don't like when devs bs around. like with uncharted 3 we've been pushing to get more color options but they had some lame excuses like people wouldnt know who their teammates where when your teammates have green names and enemies have red.

            im not even convinced they truly fixed my player like they claim

              if they want it back so bad it has to be some major caps on things based on height of position. like if you make a 6'6 point guard your shooting should maybe go into the 70s or you can't create shots or shoot off the dribble it has to be some reason you are a pg and not a sg at 6'6

                yeah that's what I been asking for. that's what fifa does, more height = less speed. there should be benefit for being a small PG, small C etc. meh but it's a useless discussion now, honestly i would take anything if crew was in. the problems were managable it was that much fun sometimes.

                  2K said that they didnt have time to put crew in the game but they made a whole new mode in MyTEAM. I think it came down to putting a new mode in that's gonna make them more money. Well thats just my opinion.

                      Crew was broken according to 2k. Trust me guys, if 2k really could put crew back they would. They wouldn't just abandon it and come up with an excuse to why it isn't in 2k13. It was broken, and they didn't have the time to fix it. Hopefully it will be in 2k14. Instead they took the time to work on other modes to try to make the most realistic basketball sim possible. 2k decided to come up with an alternative for crew while they work on it for 2k14 in Myteam and playing with your myplayer 3 on 3 online. Myteam seems fun and i'm sure people will enjoy it.

                        So in other words, its not really about the mode or the game itself, its more about all of the<br />

                        I'm not saying that's all Crew fans' thing - but some folks have made it a point to say that's the draw. Again, I'm sure it's MUCH deeper for some folks. But, yeah, aren't these modes always about showing off your progress? In WoW, folks are MORE than happy and proud to show off new gears, weapons, and mounts. That's the thing. It's natural.

                        Yeah

                        Its a ME mode for alot of people here complaining. They could care less about how well other parts of the game fares as long as they get the look at ME mode

                        Im not saying you were implying it but I was.

                        This is all aside from a sim basketball game with players we know and teams that play in the league.nope some threatening a non biy not because of that but because they can't post videos of their faux creations

                            Yes crew was fun but it didn't make the whole ****in games. Most people who only buy that game cause of it are probably the ****in bums that run hack guys and call them selves the best cause they can shoot corner 3's all day with their 7"11 guy with the NR j shot. They still MP pick-up and now a new 3v3 my player online mode. So wat ever don't buy it don't need no bums gettin their *** whooped on this game anyways have fun playing that LIVE then lol

                              Perspective Through Estimated (Guessed) Numbers:

                              I truly doubt more than 1 in 20 (5%) of people who bought 2K11 even tried Crew.

                              Out of the people who tried Crew, I seriously doubt more than 1 out of 5 people really liked it and continued to play.

                              That leaves us with a game mode that 1% of players cared about. Maybe my numbers are little off...but not by much. 2K has the numbers...if it was significant, there would be Crew, especially after 2 years. It's not significant...but they can't say that without alienating die-hard customers. People think they added MyTeam for money...maybe a little, but they could have just as easily monetized Crew. The real thing is MyTeam has a much broader appeal, compared to a niche like Crew.

                                the anti crew posters are ridiculous... makes it really hard to look at the thread reading their nonsense.
