Shoe creator is a casual feature? I doubt that.

Completely off-topic...but I just had to comment on this. That is FAR from a lame excuse. In fact, this is a prime example of why people are paid to design games and need to filter out 95% of the noise from the internet.

If I didn't have so much fun with offline quick matches and the occasional online h2h, I would do the same.

Not true. Major companies have a pretty good idea of who is buying, not buying, and why. That's their job. WE are the ones that don't know. What's true for you is not necessarily true for the majority. Don't assume you have your pulse on the world. And for the record, 2k12 sold quite a bit. Just as much as expected if not more.

The Crew format = you controlling yourself, with human teammates, vs other humans controlling their my player. (league setting is best to mirror rec leagues, organized ball, etc) Real life basketball = same thing Real life basketball = NO BOTS. Sorry Association people. There's no robots I see on the court when I go play pickup or 24hr fitness. You rely on REAL CHEMISTRY and how to be the best HUMAN not the best "I Can jedi mind control 5 players at once"

If im not mistaken you can get that same experience in team up....

All the people whine and complain about how crew mode is irrelevant, too many hacks and remember when 2k11 first dropped they had a bounty system on the forums snitching on my players who achieved a 99 overall my player within the 1st month of the games' release? Y'all did this... Don't act brand new. Yeah the game mode was flawed, but no different than any other mode on there. So whether crew is out because there wasn't enough time, or because of online issues, or because they couldn't do anything about hacks, the point is its gon and were gonna have to deal with it. I blame you clowns in the forums for constantly complaining as much as I blame 2k for being that naive as to think that myteam mode was a better use of time to implement than returning crew mode to its glory. The real question for me is since 2k took down the 2k11 Crew servers down in August, are they going to bring them back as a consolation to their fans?

I blame you clown because if you were in the top 5 ranked crews you were all hacks and cheesers. Go head and deny it if you want but we all know its true. Don't bother replying #thatisall

I read that dudes post and thought the exact same thing. If he played legit, you wouldn't see him blaming the "snitches". Typical behavior for the cheaters.

you do realize people cheat in online ranked matches right? pulling the plug while they never get a disconnect on their stats.

pulling the plug in and out so they can intentionally lag the game.

i havent played a top 300 online ranked person yet that didnt CHEAT to win. NEVER EVER. So should they get rid of online ranked matches as well?

Exactly smh its a reason the top 10 crews were damn near unbeatable and it isnt because they were all just that good. I played on a top crew and ive seen how it goes. I will admit myself a had a hacked player a 6'8 pg and a 7'0 SF. A 7'5 center. I played with reasonable hieghts for each position although im not making excuses for having a hacked 99 not having one was basically a death sentence. Its like if you get into a fight and your opponent throws dirt in your eyes am i going to cry and say hey your cheating...no im going to ADAPT. However i do take pridr in the fact i never did any bs or cheese moves or used a player aboved 7'5.
