It may have been a public relations response, but they stated they didn't want to re-introduce Crew until they knew it could be done right. I cannot actually look at this article right now, but I think it's the one I'm talking about: http://www.pastapadre.com/2011/10/06...issues-persist

The problem isn't just with 10 people, but 10 my players. Teamup for the most part works pretty well with 10 people. But those rosters are fixed, and they require you to have the most up to date roster on your system before you begin. The problem with crew is you have to upload your myplayer to the server, then the server has to send your myplayer data out to the other 9 people. THEN repeat all these steps for the 9 other players that are joining you in your game. When I saw they separated the My Player from My Career, the first thing I thought of was for this very reason.

I am still curious to see how they plan on preventing hacked players for 360. There is a lot of new pieces in play but I'm still trying to figure out how they fit together.

Ronnie put on twitter all of your myplayer data will be server based.

I'm not much of a tech wiz so someone else would have to answer that.

Will we be able to invite 5 friends and choose our teams to play 3v3 with just us?

Or will we only be able to be in a group of 3 and find 3 other randoms?

Who cares if you can't play 5 vs 5, 3 vs 3 is really really fun.


Be happy with what you get. Crew sucked anyways.

Sounds real good. Now you can't have these bums who don't have no on-ball defense just spam the double team button for the cpu help. No u got to play straight up and ball. CPU's will lose u the game sometimes with these jacking up shots or when they can't rebound.
