I Agree With Mostly Everything Said Above!

You all know that MyCareer Blacktop was a setup to see if someone could "hack it" and look at where we're at. No hacks, but now VC buyers are basically the hackers if they abuse the crap out of it. some myCareers can 7'6 centers with great shooting stats, maxed speed, and all this level 3 skills with Adidas gear. If we don't get to buy VC, it makes Crew a bit fair and last time I heard for NBA players, you have to earn your way into the court. Not buy into it.

Also, great ideas!

An idea I have is that we have a mode in Crew to like a "NBA 2K14: myCREW Challenge" we have like a year long season til the playoff starts and 16 of the top ranked crews play each other like IRL and have seeding like RL (Alternating "East" and "West") and we have the playoffs and best Crew member wins $20,000 like the $1,000,000 MLB 2K Perfect Game challenge. (for both Xbox and PS3)

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

No way they should bring it back until they balance the offense and defense. Could you imagine if they had crew this year? Just imagine all of the cheese that goes on in myteam and quick ranked matches but 100x worst because maxed out ratings. Since you can purchase VC EVERYONE is going to be maxed out from day 1 with the cheesiest sig skill combinations.

It would be a 3 point/eurostep glitch, spin, up and under, dunk, turbo, reach in fest.

In 2k11 it was MUCH easy to stop pple from cheesing and to punish them when they dont play smart basketball.

True true, but anything and everything that can be abused, would be abused in the future anyway. If 2k14 lowered the cheese of some things in this game, people would find the next best thing...They wouldn't be able to prevent it.

I'd like to see it make a return, and i'm sure it will...Maybe not in 2k14, but maybe 15? Next gen consoles anyone?

I rather them keeping working on the online and have it down before they put crew back in though, maybe they can put a 5v5 blacktop to hold players over?

Just so you know, The Wii U is already out. The Next generation systems are dropping THIS YEAR(Sony & Microsoft respectively) So, NO, i don't believe we should wait another 2 years for crew mode to make its return. Two years is long enough to figure out what works, what doesn't work, and what can be improved, in an otherwise awesome game mode. I'm sure(If you're on XBOX 360) You all noticed the glitches as far as the 8ft point guards, or the 25 ft point guards. No? how about the Hop step abuse, or the pump fake foul spam? How about running left, running right, then running left again, just to get open?How about Unstoppable drifters? Well if 2Ksports addresses these issues, along side a myriad of other things people tend to notice from 2k11, then maybe we might have ourselves a great game.

Also, How is having a 5 vs 5 Myplayer blacktop a substitute for crew? Crew actually meant something. It was unique in its own right...i wanna hit game winners, buzzer beaters, I'd Love to hear the crowd chant M V P...M ..V..P while i'm at the free throw line sinking clutch buckets to put my team ahead for good. I want the ref to call fouls when I'm going to the paint, not just watch people spam the X button(Xbox360) and get away with murder. I dont wanna be on the "Ringers" or the "Ballers". They sound so cheesy. reminds me of the old MTV Rock n Jock Basketball games..Those were so terrible.. For those of you too young to remember, an easy search on youtube will get you up to speed....matter of fact, hold on...

Yeah, that's pretty much what the Myplayer blacktop has become. Come on 2K? Lets get back to 2k1o & 2k11 My player Pick up games. Regular 5 vs 5 basketball and if you're gonna bring in an announcer, at least get the legit dude from the rucker EBC. Not this cheesy dude screaming.."Hey, you over there...is That BLing on your neck? THat dude is SHINING" or "FUEGOOOOOO" ugh....get rid of him ASAP!!!!

any and all positive feedback to this thread is welcome. Come on guys, add your comments to this, so we can make sure that Developers dont "FORGET" about crew mode. Simply put, We will not fall for the okie doke this year...BRING BACK CREW MODE.PERIOD.

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

Just some things I would like for a future Crew mode:

- If a human player fouls out of the game, he should be kicked out of the game. Period. He should not be allowed to just take control of the human CPU. That would punish people who just want to reach all game. Also, lower the maximum fouls to five, seeing as most games will be five minutes per quarter.

- Show the playart if we decide to call plays. Don't just show a bunch of flashing clear circles. Also, give us the option whether we want to see the play art or not. Some of us might be able to run our offense more fluidly if we just see what play is being called and just get into our positions.

- Give us the option to choose our inbound plays in a timeout.

- MOST IMPORTANT POINT: DO NOT let people take their offline MyPlayers online. I think this is what you were planning anyway, but this is just a reminder. All Crew players should all start off with the same low ratings. How should they be allowed to improve them? Well that brings me onto my next point, which is almost as important.

- 2nd MOST IMPORTANT POINT: DO NOT allow people to buy skill points or VC to make their crew player better. Not only does this mean that ppl shouldn't be allowed to use real money to make their players better, they shouldn't be allowed to use SP or VC they've earned from other modes. In fact, SP should NOT exist in this mode, and VC should only be used to buy player accessories (none of which you should provide any silly boost like getting Jordan shoes shouldn't give you +10 Dunk or Speed).

The ONLY WAY your player should be able to get better is through games, and to a MUCH lesser extent, pick up games. Each player should be able to choose their player's height, weight etc., but NOT their playstyle. All PGs should be given exactly the same stats, same with SGs, SF's etc.

Physical stats should be COMPLETELY randomised. In fact if it were up to me, I would have Crew be split into two modes, Arcade and Sim. On Sim, even your height and weight, etc. should be randomised, because in real life, you can't just arbitrarily choose your height and weight, can you?

The way the player should be able to increase his stats is to do particular things in a game, and those things should directly correspond to what stats get increased. So no more of this hitting 10/10 from 3pt and gaining SP to spend on your dunk rating. NO. If you do something like that from 3, you should get something like a +10 3pt rating. FIFA already does this with a "Be a Pro Mode", and WWE does something like this in its career mode, so 2K already has games to copy this idea from.

Ratings should also be able to DECREASE, if you have a series of bad games. The ratings should be DYNAMIC.

Oh yeah, another thing. NO signature skills on this mode WHATSOEVER. It needs to be completely organic. I want the CPU logic to interfere as LITTLE as possible.

This is what Crew mode, in a word, needs to be: COMPETITIVE.

It should not be another dunk and cheesefest. Nearly every online mode on this game is already that. 2K really needs to some original thinking with this mode, and be able to properly implement it on the first try.

There need be no more complaints of people complaining about having to play the CPU when people play off-ball defense, because this time they really will be going 1 on 1.

Actually I think this is a great thread. I promise you these discussions were brought up with the Dev's many times - especially back on our NBA 2K13 Community Team Up day. Will always be happy to bring "Crew" ideas to our dev's.

First off I would like say thank you to all my fans, my mom, my sister, my dentist, and finally the ice cream man for this honorable achievement. LD2k responded to my comment and its thanks to all of you!!! I will never forget this moment and next up Kanye West will be presenting the award for best music video.

Back on topic I've read multiple times people talking about crew mode and someone mentioning the fact that the dev's are thinking about bringing it back . What's the point of this thread? We realize y'all are gonna bring it back at some point and us complaining isn't going to bring it any sooner. He could've spent his time getting some more VC or whatever.

I totally disagree with you on these Bullet points:
1)Not everyone has the free time to play 3 or 4 seasons of my career just so they they can compete with other people on crew games. Some of us actually work, go to school, have lives outside of videogames to dedicate that much time to build our Myplayers up. That's why i believe the concept of Virtual Currency works in our favor. So if your schedule allows you 3 hours of gaming for the night, why not log on with your friends, pay for your VC, and run a couple of My Crew Games.

2)2K13 was only the trial run with VC. So by stating that Virtual Currency should ONLY be used for accessories doesn't make sense. Imagine being able to purchase different things to +BOOST your crew. Example:Signature Shoes only Playable in Crew Mode that gives you team attribute boosts. Or maybe different Arenas, Purchase lighting effects and intros for your Myplayers in crew.

3)Play styles are known from a very young age. Some people know they can shoot well, some people know they are great defenders, some people are little bit of everything, some people are natural born athletes and are such raw talents, that when they start playing basketball, they maybe be able run fast, or dunk the ball, but the other aspects of the game come along to them later in their career(Andre Iguodala, Dwight Howard, Lebron James...Just to name a few.) So yeah i disagree with your idea that we shouldn't be able to choose our heights and our play styles... To be honest, in any Create a Player mode for any Game, these are basic fundamental options given to us. If anything, keep a checks and balances system as far as per position what height is determined to be the MAX. The way that 2k has it now is fine to me.

4)C'mon Son!! No signature skills on crew? That's gotta be a joke right? Of all Game Modes, you're telling me we can use sig skills in our careers, on pick up games, in Online association, in team up and MyTeam, but no crew? Brother, i don't agree with you at all. The mere suggestion is laughable and it just clearly doesn't make sense. My Crew uses my players, so of course to be as unique as possible , people will want to have their signature skills on.

if an 80 overall my player shoots a ton of 3 pointers in his my career, you're telling me he shouldn't be able to use spot up shooter, or corner specialist in crew? I'm just saying, some things you say, i agree with, but a lot of things i disagree with.

Thanks for the feedback LD2K. It's post like these that let me know that our voices matter and that I'm on the right track by posting what features we want in our next game. Hey LD2k, any chance we can get this stickied? This is the time in the development process that the DEVS ask for our input. I'd love to see this thread get more replies and responses from our community members who definitely want this mode back.

Sad thing is i had the game for say about 1 month and myCareer was already 90 Overall. I dont even play every game. Its so easy to earn VC, play one associtation, 5 minute quarter game in 2K13 = 750 VC! But make sure you play one game per hour. In just 1 week, 1 associtation game per day, a staggering 5,000+ VC! Add in my everyday 3 myCareer blacktop games per day, near 8,000! We dont even need to buy VC we just gotta be smart and know how to milk this system. Keep how you get VC, remove the buying cause the way I want it, you learn how to play the game compared to a n00b spending money on nothin.

MLB 2K13 could have VC too.

Sadly this will never happen because 2k see this as easy profit. It SHOULD happen and it would be great if it did because buying VC to cheese your MyPlayer is essentially no different then hacking and putting all your skills to 99.

If they do bring Crew mode back then they should be more strict on Player Height as well. For example, PG max height should be 6'4", Shooting Guard 6'6", Small Forward 6'8", Power Forward 6'10", Centers 7'0".
