I did. It's a rarity that someone drops. 2K14 crew was flawless. Played 100's of games with a full 10 all humans. you're just mentioning one reason, I got a ton on the pro/cons list.

What I saw in that video are inept players who did not know when to pass the ball when they should. If you are going to stand around and literally watch the double team come up to you, and not pass it to your open teammates then you deserve to get it stolen.

I'm sorry but if you can't defeat something personally, it doesn't make it cheese.

I wonder how many times I can change up my team?

Cause if it's one and done, I guess I would be taking advantage of one team cause I know that Flint Tropics, Toon Squad, maybe Harlem Globetrotters will be taken.

Unless of course I get like a 30 character limit for team and city name then I would just have my city be the Original...

I see you still havent decided which you would prefer. Your lone experience doesnt make it rare. And even if its rare it can still happen. You either choose to play with the cpu AI which your so against or you waste everyones time and end the game ? I gave you the one reason you cannot debate against. Connections can drop mid game.

I get you man but still, its a pain sometimes to get 5 together why not just make the 2 AI like 70 OVR MyPlayers that'll even it out.
I have my pros/cons

5 vs 5


pros:

- organic(without cheese, left right etc.)
- skilled teams and high basketball IQ guys will shine



cons:

- hard to get all 5 on at the same time sometimes, when you and your friend actually have a life.(less game played overall)
- if you want to play you have to deal with randoms or make friends with people you don't really like.



3 out of 5 with AI


pros:

- you can play when all of your friends aren't online.
- better spacing(compared to if you run with dumb random guys)
- More ball time(3 stars instead of 5, be honest with yourself it makes the game funner)
- You can team with your favorite players(Old crew)
- You can play the game how you want and make whatever position you want and dont have to fit a crew.


As far as this AI thing I hear people complain about how dumb our AI is on our teams in MyCareer but now you're acting like we gonna be hooping against baby jesus in the flesh they wont be that bad. if we are playing with 5 smart guys I feel we will have the advantage. because we can space the floor and as soon as I see the cpu double team I hit the open guy. Guarding CPU's isnt that hard, its way easier than guarding these left/right cheesers. Also having 5 we can help off the computers more than if they were real players because we know they wont get touches regularly making them easier to guard.

This is MY video lol. Me playing with my boy and this little kid we were trying out (who you can hear him and his little friend talking). I don't get his point. I don't see what any crew did wrong. If a pass got stolen it was because it was a bad pass most likely. Definitely would have been a lot more steals and a lot more cluttered if it was 10 users on the court.

Remember, 2K11 CPU players couldn't really stop lead passing and also that's when the 1-3-1 zone was still which most smart crew ran until some team could exploit it and you'd have to run man up.

Pros: People can play 5 on 5 (aka REAL basketball and not 3 on 3 joke ball) with only 2 other friends and not be shutout from the mode completely. This is the ONLY PRO that is needed.

Example: I don't have many friends that play NBA 2k and I don't like playing with random people I don't know that I haven't met in real life. Now I can play this mode and not be blocked from it. I'm also 33 years old and work a 2nd shift job in the television industry. I don't have the luxury of making 500 PSN friends on the internet/on PSN/in school and hope they're around to play NBA 2k with at midnight on a Thursday night.

Cons: None.


There's your pros/cons list you've been repeatedly asking for throughout the entire thread. Not many agree with your feelings for this mode and I don't see why you feel the need to try and convince them to.

[Vic Viper]

I see two red flags. (Just my opinion)

1. OS: Will teams be restricted by position? Example: Three 7-foot SFs and two centers? Or is it two guards, two forwards, one center?

JT: No there aren’t position restrictions.

(Center at the PG position, PF at the SG position, PG at center? I'm just not feeling that. It should be PG=PG/SG, SG=PG/SG/SF, SF=SG/SF/PF and etc....it's gonna be a pain to watch five 7 footers on one team.)

2. OS: Will our MyPLAYERs have exclusive ratings and overalls to the Pro-Am that differ from MyPark?

JT: No.

(This tells me you can MAX out your myplayer with VC easily. VC should be excluded from this mode and attributes should be earned through ranked gameplay.)
