It means blacktop mode, nothing more

The more I think about this, the more it infuriates me. 3-on-3? Who said they wanted 3-on-3? There's no point in playing team ball if you have half the court to isolate your man. 5-on-5 necessitates team play.

Would FIFA's Pro Club mode feature 4-on-4 gameplay? No. Just because we're using fantasy players doesn't mean we want a bastardized streetball version of the game we love. Might as well throw in those "off the hezzay" animations and triple alley-oops from NBA Jam.

Whats the issue with 3 on 3 when you can still do 5 on 5 in Team Up?

3 v. 3 or 5 v. 5 -- you still get to play with your MyPlayer online, right? I understand it isn't what it was in 2k11 but its something. They gave the crew crowd something instead of just not having anything. How can anyone view that as negative? I look at it as a 'we haven't completely fixed the mode but while you wait we'll give you something' type of compromise. I'd rather have something than nothing. But thats me -- if I was a big crew guy I'd take that for now but still would expect the full 5 on 5 next year.

And the polluting of the boards comment was made after noticing a crew thread in the Live forum -- really not directed towards any one post in this thread -- though I think some of you guys are acting like drama queens within some comments.

So basically have 5 guys with 99 overall is better than having a properly balanced team.....I got it now.....

Crew is overrated

Ummm, you could actually argue it is more balanced than Team-Up. Even though everyone isn't 99s like you think. When people are all the same overall/playing field, you wouldn't say that's more balanced? Instead of some people having LeBron and the other person having Ron Artest. I would give you Team-Up is more realistic, but a lot of people play this game for fun and Crew is A LOT more fun that Team-Up imo.

Being a 99 in Crew or Pick-Up actually took skills if you didn't know. You could easily expose the bums from the good players in 2K11. I also seen plenty of 70-80 ovr players exposing 99's because they created their player how they wanted and knew their strengths.
