Nah, it actually wasn't none of that. Unless the team was terrible. It was just like the other modes in 2K11. The only knock you can say about 2K11 Crew being cheese was the hacked players that knowledgable players knew how to avoid for the most part.
That's why I wish the servers were still up and glad I still have vids on my YouTube. It's nowhere near a dunk fest or people raining 3s. It was 2K11, none of that was happening period in 2K11 anyways unless the other user(s) were horrible. Now 2K15, that's a lot more common and even the hacked 7'+ PGs are back.
