I just think militant crew only people are the wrong people for 2k to bend over backwards for.

Exactly how I feel. I play 2K because I play in real life and because I love basketball

What you're doing is living a fantasy life vicariously through the video game.

Also you want to know how it has reached a unhealthy stage for you guys ? ... you keep complaining about it non-stop even in threads that have nothing to do with Crew. You guys are starting to sound suicidal. I'm telling you though, nothing is better than actually going to an LA Fitness or local YMCA to ACTUALLY play pick up ball, its waaay better than Crew.

But please for the love of God, stop harassing 2K with this Crew nonsense so they can perfect the gameplay, some of us are content with just playing this game the old fashion way. controlled TEAMS.

What a lot of you don't realize is that by complaining about people who DO want crew you're no better. There's no place for comments like this, people don't have to enjoy the game the same way, this is America for crying out loud. I've admitted I'm not a hardcore NBA fan. I'm a hardcore sports fan sure, but NBA? No, I wouldn't say that. Crew mode got me back into backetball for the first time in quite a while, I tried Association but it just got stale after a few weeks. I've never tried Fifa's Club mode but that may be something to try, I'm kind of surprised 2k hasn't come back to it yet. Maybe they will still, but it doesn't appear it will be this season, and to me that is disappointing. Not to the hardcore crowd and that's great for you guys, but not for me. Just my two cents fellas.

A more productive idea for you guys would be to lobby for it as separate DLC or something. So that way it won't interfere with whatever agenda 2K has going on right now. Because you do know that what you guys are doing right now is counter productive to the launch ? right ?

I love crew but regardless 2k is a quality game. Seriously, some people sound like crack addicts for crew. Some serious heated debates. Talkin about crew being realistic? Are there any online games that are realistic? It's just a fun mode for some where they can build up their players and play with friends. Majority of gamers today are geared towards online play.

I've got no side in the debate. Even though their complaining is annoying, game has already gone gold anything missing now can't be added until 2K14. At the sametime stop being irrational guys just because you like something doesn't make it the most fun. 2K isn't going to cry if a few of you all decide not to buy 2K13 because of no crew. That's just ridiculous.

i like to play ball at the park too, i'm not living a fantasy life anymore than you are when you're doing you're association, or whatever else you're doing. these games are all a "fantasy" anyway, we're not actually the ones playing. how would you feel if they got rid of controlled teams? i think you'd be pissed off. instead of being mad at us for making post after post trying to get our mode back in the game, just be happy that yours is already in, and chill.
