NBA 2K14 Crew Mode:Bring This Mode Back!

Re: NBA 2K14 Crew Mode:Bring This Mode Back!

And I forgot to add, if you're one of them people that says you have other things to do than play the game and progress your guy...well maybe you shouldn't be playing this mode? lol not even being an ***hole just stating the obvious.

I don't have the time to go on Minecraft and build a replica of the city of Philadelphia, so I don't. I might check a Youtube vid and be like "hey that's nice", but I don't pay someone to make it for me.

If you pay for your VC it's the same premise, you're just taking shortcuts because you're too lazy. I made a new guy for online like last week, 68 overall, and I been killing people on Blacktop that have bought players. So it's not impossible you just gotta know the game.

Stop being lazy. That's it.

Alright...I hear you dude...but here's my thing. I can't speak for everyone, but i can definitely speak for myself. When NBA 2K came out for the Dreamcast back in 1999, i was AMAZED at the graphical difference and superior moves that they had compared to NBA Live 99'. I said this is the future of Basketball! I'm glad to see i was right.

With that being said, I also was right out of High school as well, so BASKetball was my life and i would eat sleep, and ish 2k all the time. Fast-Forward 14 Games Later, I'm a grown Man with responsibilities. I work Hard, and when i get the opportunities, i Play harder. I mean that in all aspects of my life...So if 2k releases vc points so that people like myself who cant put in crazy hours to get their myplayer through 2-3 seasons to get him to a 99 but also want to jump online and be competitive with their myplayer, i dont see a probelm with that. although i do agree your myplayer should earn all his attributes through mycareer and through crew or pick up games, i definitely see where 2k is coming from in that regards towards casual gamers. I started out as a hardcore gamer, but we all grow up and bills, responsibility+family equals less time to dedicate towards hobbies such as NBA 2k. Henceforth the need to include Virtual Coins into NBA 2K.

I'm so happy to say that VC is the most easiest thing to earn. Took a month or two playing Key Games and Blacktop games to get my guy 99 and only a couple weeks to get 90. I did during launch time when I was in school having a 7:45 to 3, 5 days a week schedule.

I am fine with VC in the game. It's what makes myTeam go round. Thing is you don't need to buy VC. For MyCareer. Play the game for at least 1 or 2 hours in a day, VC grows slowly, but everything is so cheap. I don't know how your schedule is, but seeing how long it took me to get 99 on 2K12 (all my summer time) and 2K13 (launch window,) 2K13 felt more easy.

Re: NBA 2K14 Crew Mode:Bring This Mode Back!

I hope they do bring back the mode but if they don't it's whatever. If they do bring it back I might not even try to get in a crew since I've lost patience.

come on trini, I thought we're going to start a crew and win lots and lots of

Re: NBA 2K14 Crew Mode:Bring This Mode Back!

If MyCREW doesn't return for the next gen consoles... It may be safe to say all hope has been lost.

Gotta agree with this. It's all about having options. No time? Ok pay for VC. Have time and want to go at your own pace? Ok earn it the old fashioned way. It lets both groups go at their own pace for what suits them. Cuz at the end of the day, players are going to want to compete and be competitive with their my players online... if there's ways to expediate that process, I don't see the prob with that. Uncapped ratings / height was the real issue not how fast ppl got to 99.

What he said multiplied infinitely. I could care less if I'm going against 99 overall's on day one if they bought the VC. However, dealing with a Center that moves faster than a normal point guard, skies from the freethrow line, and drains 3's from 28 feet out like he's Dan Marjerle? No thanks.

Re: NBA 2K14 Crew Mode:Bring This Mode Back!

I get why everyone is so annoyed with the microtransactions..but I think there's one flaw in your argument here sir. If it's some little brat...you'll be better than him anyway. I cannot TELL you how many kids with 99 overalls me and my squad body on a regular basis. You can always tell, because even with 99 overall and the +10 jewelry they have no concept of game. They will get some BS to go in, I'll be the first to admit...but being maxed out in everything doesn't automatically make them better than you, and if you believe it does then you've already lost.

It's like when I hear people over the mic go "Oh god, they're hall of famers.." and I just laugh because they let that little symbol next to the opposing team intimidate them. If you go into anything thinking that you lost, you already have one foot in the grave, so-to-speak.

The VC Microtransactions can stay for that stuff in my opinion, they don't honestly effect as much as the people that complain about it act like they do. You still can't by Skill. And I'll take a skilled guy with any character, over a scrub with maxed out abilities.

and seeing your second post, you understand what i'm saying with this one, so Why complain about it? It doesn't ruin the game, at most it obviously just makes it a little more difficult for you. But you said you're winning. I'm not trying to be ignorant or flame, but why make a second post contradicting the first one? The first one states that if someone spends money they are automatically better than you stat wise, but the second one says it doesn't matter and you just don't like lazy people. You must be a politician...

Better STAT-wise, not better at the game. I'm 21 in college and working and so are my 2 friends that play with me, but if we all get free time to play some 3v3 we will win 90% of games. Real basketball always beats 3 point jacking, steal spamming bums.

I have no issue with other grown ups with less time that want to have a good guy to play with, but to me that ruins the concept of the whole mode. You HAVE to find the time to make him better, it's just a game, but do you think Lebron is this good because he bought his skill? No, he worked for hours a day. It really only takes about 3/4 seasons playing only key games to get 99 overall guy, so about 100 games? Idk...if you don't have time to play 100 my player games than I don't think you should be worried about playing video games at all. (no offense)

Back to the point of vc, if you truly can't be bothered and have to buy your player, then I guess buying vc is okay (to you)..but the problem lies within the community of xbox itself: so many little kids just max out their skills and play this fake brand of basketball, they're too young to remember NBA Street yet that's what they think 2K is. Jacking 3's and dunking through everyone, then on D they do nothing but spam the steal button.

I put 2K more at fault though; it's almost August, 10 months after release, and I have yet to see a hacked my player. No giants, no midgets, no 6'10 Allen Iversons, etc...so they can clearly patch in a 5 v 5 fullcourt blacktop mode with fouls, lowered 3 point %, but they don't. 2K allows people to play FAKE basketball, yet they claim to be the #1 basketball sim..lol right.

But all adding purchasable VC into the game does is ruin the hard work of others. How is it fair that $20 = 20 hours of work. If I win MVP/ROY/1st Team NBA all in the first season, why is my guy at a disadvantage to someone who bought VC and maxed out their stats?

See where I'm coming from?

You can't get on the game for an hour every night and expect a 90 overall in a week, it just won't happen. Play for a month and then see how good your guy is though, it's much more rewarding than this new bs "pay-to-win" that's going on in games now.
(as an old-school gamer myself, I don't understand how you support pay to win).

If you could still hack your my player like in 2K11, would that be what you would do? It's free, and it gets you that 99 faster, right? Buying VC is just as cheap as hacking, you're basically just paying 2K to do it for you.

Bro...I'm probably one of the reasons crew was taken off of future games. I was well aware of what i was doing at the time. I Didnt find anything wrong, and i still dont find anything wrong with getting a player to 99. Aint nobody got time for that. Sitting there grinding game after game. Thats childs play. I know as a fierce competitor in online gaming, specifically in NBA 2K, that most people have their 99 my players by the end of october. The people i know usually have them day one. Now my concern has never been about a capped 99 myplayer.. I support them. My thing has always been the person controlling that 99 myplayer. Not everyone has I.Q. For Instance, if you gave your 10 year old bro your controller, and told him to play online with your online friends in a game of Blacktop, your friends might notice that he might not cut to the basket as well as you, or set screens when you need to, or take ill advised shots..etc..

As far as paying for your myplayer goes....what exactly are our options here?
A)Work on your myplayer from day one every chance you get no matter how long it takes to get him to a 99. Then when you're done hop online in Decemeber or January and try to compete online with friends and try to become one of the best to ever do it?

B)Pay for your guy Day One and compete online from day one.

B is def where my heart is, but i feel that would be to easy of a way out. There has to be a Medium when it comes to this policy. I've grown from my time of being one of the best to realize that there are people out there that love playing Legit ball, and that they want to compete just like the rest of us.

My thing is, whatever it is you start off with online in NBA 2k, your guy should
start off with more than the basics, but wayyyyyyy less than a 99 overall. I mean oranges and apples when you compare COD to this, but in the sense that i can purchase call of duty, day one, and can compete online immediately before i even play campaign, or zombie mode should give 2ksports a sense of direction that we as competitive gamers in the community would like to have our game play like.

To be honest, if your myplayer sig skills, worked like the Call of Duty Perks system, then this would definitely be a step in the right direction. Myplayers shouldnt really be "Capped" so to speak....we should be ranked just like COD based off of skills performed on the court to boost our playstyle. Dimer LVL 3 should be rewarded to someone who's over the course of say 1000 games played online where he averaged 8 assists or better per game. DeadEye Should be Rewarded to those who hit Clutch Shots whilst having defenders draped over them over the course of a set amount of games played. You see where I'm going with this right?

So no...i dont totally agree with pay to win...its not my thing...I still believe earning your way to the top is the way to go, and being ranked over being uncapped is the way to go for 2kSPORTS. what do you think?

you don't see anything wrong with having an unfair advantage over everyone else? you feel good about yourself winning that way? you're talking a lot of bs. people like you shouldn't bother with crew, period. you brag about being #1 at this, and #1 at that, yet you say you didn't have time to get your guy to a 99, you're sickening, bro.

Yea bruh, all I'm really getting from that post is he finds it okay to hack your player as long as it keeps you competitive.

I don't think the best player on 2K has to buy his skill. Knowing when to cut doesn't have to be done be a 99 overall, I can cut to the rim with Kwame Brown and get an easy dunk. Cutting is the most basic thing. I can hit a 3 with Willie Green lol, he's like a 70 overall.

All I'm saying is, if you're claiming to be "one of the best", it shouldn't be hard at all to go online (even with a 70 overall) and compete. I do it daily. It's no fun to me to have the same my player, I restart often because I know I don't need maxed stats.

i mean, it's true though, to compete with the best of crews, you really do need to get your my player to 99, but if you don't do it the legit way, you have no business being on 2k, this forum, this planet. go test out mars bro, i hear they got no caps over there.

Lol bragging about being at the top only to have to cut corners and cheat to get there...I wonder when Lebron or Kobe will go to a press conference and brag about being the best but also to using steroids?
