NBA 2K14 Features Crew Mode - 3-on-3 or 5-on-5

[Jrocc23]

the weird thing is when you watched saved crew replays the logo, and everything was there, and the court looked a lot cooler.

Right lol. When you looked at replays, the court was just how it was in 2K10.

Alright, its taken 50 pages for me to reply to all this crew mess, and trust me, I've read all of the jargon that has come out of everyone's mouth. What it boils down to is this. We want crew the way it was in 2k11. The Sound of the crowd in a close game, the sound of the commentators amping you up play-by-play, the sound of your kicks squeaking on the hardwood, the sound of the crowd chanting your name MVP MVP MVp while you're at the freethrow line, the tv camera timeouts as you gather what your next move is going to be, when you come out of that time out the sound of "OH hooo hoooooooooo" when you nail that game winner against your opponent at the buzzer that you just can't replicate on the blacktop if the game is up to 21....

^^^^^Minus the hacked heights, this is what we want 2k.....

....and minus the playcalling like @ 4:36. One thing I like about 3on3 blacktop is it's usually a full game, not too much quitting, no playcalling unless it's you and your teammates, and most importantly NO CPU.

on blacktop? whose gonna show up, a couple people who leave at halftime to smoke crack?

Do you realize how narrow minded that sounds?

ugh this video is a perfect example of why I don't really care about crew coming back, and why I hate the actual Blacktop game mode.
what's the fun in one guy running around the floor and pulling random jumpers 90% of the time, while you stand there and watch him playing solo?

[NATIONofAmbition]

Seems watered down but maybe less will turn out to be more. Probably not though.

that's just bad crew ball. don't watch that vid, and think that speaks for how everyone plays

I agree. That's what I like about 3 on 3. It lends itself to amateur ball. You are more involved as well. 3on3 is as realistic as 5on5, so that point is moot. I wonder how many of the really vocal crew players play positions that don't see the ball a lot.

Hopefully they atleast fix the 3v3 because in blacktop people just run in circles and shoot 3s which its good they added stamina but hopefully it means something and hopefully not every shot goes in especially bad shot selections. They need to reward people with good defense

Absolutely agree with that. That is where I agree with the sim guys: the game rewards bad, ie casual, behavior far too much. It's focuses so much on "fun", but how is forcing your opponent into a tough shot only to have him drain it in your eye fun?

Re: NBA 2K14 Features Crew Mode - 3-on-3 or 5-on-5

this was a lousy game for me, didn't get creative with the passes like i usually do, was like 3am, but it's closer to the average crew experience than the last cringe worthy crew vid posted(and the only game of mine posted on youtube).

Right. That wasn't legit crew ball. You should expect that guy to hit every shot being uncapped w/ tendencies hacks lol. Never could understand how people could feel good about themselves after cheating like that.

Re: NBA 2K14 Features Crew Mode - 3-on-3 or 5-on-5

Another thing that should be added, is locking the positions:
PG can only play PG or SG
SG can play PG SG or SF
SF can play SG SF or PF
PF can play PF or C
C can play PF or C

At least then if I'm playing as my real life 6' self, I don't have to worry about a 7' Sf on me like on Blacktop lol.

Re: NBA 2K14 Features Crew Mode - 3-on-3 or 5-on-5

And adding onto my previous post:

It'll hopefully help keep Crew more true to the game. 2K11 wasn't as good gameplay-wise as 2K13 is (blocks not included, because one game had too many and this game has none lol) so maybe in that factor alone 2K14 would be more realistic. But also if there's no hacked players, already right there is a HUGE advantage in this years' Crew mode.

No PG should be over 6'6, I mean it's fun trying to recreate a 6'9 Magic for your My Player, but do you really ever see 6'9 PGs? Same thing with 7'6 Centers, it's just not realistic at all.

It would be cool if 99 speed on a 6' guard, meant I was faster than a 99 speed 6'6 guard. Because D-Wade's fast, but Iverson had a way about him where he could blow by people and sneak his way through a whole defense in the blink of an eye...two players who both were fast, but still different.

I'll never understand it either.

I'd say at least half of the Crew community hacked their players, even if they only did it to stay competitive. Like, how could they even come on here complaining there's no Crew? YOU RUINED IT lol.

Only good thing about hacked players was how good it felt beating them.

Re: NBA 2K14 Features Crew Mode - 3-on-3 or 5-on-5

Exactly lol the guy who started the "Bring crew mode back" thread posts a video with a uncapped player. Your the reason it got taken away why come on here and complain
