No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

[2K Labs]

Perspective Through Estimated (Guessed) Numbers:

I truly doubt more than 1 in 20 (5%) of people who bought 2K11 even tried Crew.

Out of the people who tried Crew, I seriously doubt more than 1 out of 5 people really liked it and continued to play.

That leaves us with a game mode that 1% of players cared about. Maybe my numbers are little off...but not by much. 2K has the numbers...if it was significant, there would be Crew, especially after 2 years. It's not significant...but they can't say that without alienating die-hard customers. People think they added MyTeam for money...maybe a little, but they could have just as easily monetized Crew. The real thing is MyTeam has a much broader appeal, compared to a niche like Crew.

the anti crew posters are ridiculous... makes it really hard to look at the thread reading their nonsense.

I agree that makes much more sense. I think Visual Concepts/2K was also trying to grab as many casual players/customers away from EA as possible this year. There seemed to be an awful lot of catering to the casual crowd this year - new and easier controls, guitar hero dunking in the all star game, bring in celebrities like jay-z, bieber, pauly d, MyTeam with the cards, shoe creator, etc.

If I could like this more than once, you can bet your life I would.

Im pretty sure the majority arent "anti crew" ....it just didnt make that big of a difference if crew was in the game or not. I know I didnt care either way.
