You are right, but no one is going to see it from this point of view.

I don't wan't a Ultimate Team Mode, i just want Crew Mode, is that too much to ask for?

You didn't read the piece. I would bet everything there was told to you or hinted enough that you of all people should understand the decision better than most.

Anyway, I'm sorry bro but it really confounds me how you expect people to have to go beyond and above the call for crew mode, when many things are taken for granted with other features in the game. Example - based on previous games people already know you can edit players. Nobody is going to ask "Are you able to edit a player? Let me ask someone who got the game early are able to Edit Players." C'mon man, that is just absurd. I'll be the first to admit crew fanatics on the forums are annoying, but statements like these are equally just as annoying. Crew was first featured and promoted on 2k10 along with MyPlayer, and then was not mentioned at all for 2k11 (not on the back cover, not in developer insights, nothing...) yet it was still in the game. With that precedent set, nobody had any reason to think it was NOT going to be in the game for 2k12.


Furthermore since console games have had the ability to make updates, the features in a game release do not represent the end-all be-all to all the game features that it will eventually provide. 2k12's online features were an ongoing work in progress well after the game was released. The website wasn't available at release, but it was eventually added. They eventually added fixes to the Online Association mode. Then there was some rumors going around that Crew would be added with that Legends Showcase DLC. Bottom line what I heard from Paste Padre, or on 2k forums, or on youtube prior to release is irrelevant. What I saw in the game when I got it was irrelevant. The game changes, rosters are updated, bugs are fixed, and features are added. The only way to know it wasn't going to be in the game was to hear it from the horse's mouth after the fact.


So I would like to state again, thank you 2k for letting us know beforehand. I'm still looking forward to 2k13, especially to destroy Pared's overrated Knicks

Wow! why not just grab ur torches and pitch forks and storm the 2K offices. I never cared about it anyway. I rather have a new 24/7 mode anyway.

I'm curious to know, what basketball game or 2K game modes did these crew guys play before 2K introduce Crew mode?

Another factor I think they are trying to figure out how to market it properly. 2k has figured out the opportunity this mode presents - this is to basketball what WoW is to RPG's. All these other companies are making money off online modes, so I think it might be some business decisions to be made too. Plus crew mode is probably the most demanding to their online infrastructure out of all the modes, they would be even more inclined to charge extra for it.

I really doubt when crew comes back it will be free within the game. Team up might be the "free" version that comes with the game, but crew might require an online pass or extra DLC.

2K: What should we do. Should we admit that we've made mistakes? Should we remind you we've done this before? Are we really supposed to believe we ruined our legacy?
