It makes no sense to change/rename something for next gen when Crew is so sought after, asked for, and well known. More than likely, Crew doesn't exist on next gen. At this point, I'm not even sure that Team-Up or My Player exist on next gen, as Crew is basically just those two modes put together. Next-gen 2K will require a VERY good looking facial generation system for created players to mesh with the lifelike next-gen cyberfaces, and creating such a system in a short amount of time is not at all trivial-- so it's completely possible that there's no next-gen Crew because there's no next-gen My Player in the first place. And if this nightmare scenario is true, then it might also mean that there won't be a Create-A-Player function either, and players not on the disc will never make it in a roster the entire year. I hope this isn't true, but the next-gen face-gen system could be the missing piece of technology holding everything back.

I agree 100% in that if they didn't want to give away info regarding next gen, they would have said nothing. Saying "current gen only" in clear text at the end of the trailer means just that, current gen only crew.

However, I don't believe they would be stupid enough to not include MyPlayer...MyPlayer is the most played mode. Nearly everyone plays it. Not including it would get them verbally wrecked on social media and their next gen sales would suffer A LOT.

You know what would crack me up? If VC looked at all of the cryer posts, and decided that people seem to be more UPSET with this than happy. Then just take it out. What's the point of working on something if folks don't actually want it? It's like a kid that cries for ice cream. Then you give them a sundae, but they are still crying because they wanted a banana split. Just, wow, people. It's also amazing how people are defining Crew by where the 5v5 is played - which they have NO idea. I always felt Crew was more about having your *CREW* of friends and beating down other crews. Doesn't matter where. At least not to me. The company made the mode. So I think they have an idea what should and should not be considered "Crew".

But that's just me. So, carry on. I'm sure all the stress over so little information is quite fun for some of you guys.

I hope this doesn't hint at the next gen versions being completely bare bones versions of the game like Madden 06 was.

Why would 2k announce a mode, and then purposely leave out some features from us creating an uproar? I'm sorry but what they have announced is probably what it is going to be. Remember leading up to 2k12, we were all anticipating new features to crew mode but 2k never told us any. We made excuses for them saying it's too early. Same thing happened leading up to 2k13. We heard nothing from them.

Guys, the game comes out in a month and a half. The game probably goes gold in either the 1st or 2nd week of September. What features they tell us about crew mode today is what it is, they are not leaving anything out. Yes I am disappointed, as I wanted a crew mode similar to 2k11.

What we know now is what it's going to be. There is likely nothing else(or very minimal) new stuff about the mode.

CREW MODE on 2k14

- 3v3 HALFCOURT or 5v5 FULLCOURT w/ leaderboards
- 3v3 arena is the blacktop arena, 5v5 arena is likely the same
- Looks to be no jersey customization. Your myplayer will be wearing street clothes you BUY WITH YOUR VC. Likely crews will set themselves with matching gear anyways. (Money grab for 2k)
- You can create a crew name, as also customize their logo. As if you can create a true customizeable logo, or pick between renders and just change their colors is unknown.
- Will have leaderboards like in 2k13 blacktop. Likely showing top crews and also being able to see your crew's player's stats (ppg, fg%, 3pt%, etc). Likely accessible by pressing RB in the crew leaderboards to view your crew.

RUMORED (LIKELY)
- Must have either 3v3 or 5v5 real human players. No CPU filling.
- If 5v5 arena is the blacktop arena, it is likely the game will play to 21.

From 1.10 to 1.17 the animation of the ball handler accelerating and loosing the handle is really good.

I know. I don't really care about Crew, but I want badly to play MyPlayer with next-gen graphics alongside life-like renditions of NBA Players.

It would be colossally dissapointing to not be able to play MyPlayer on next-gen, but a passable next-gen create-a-face system is a huge technological hurdle they have to overcome when their current-gen CAP system was sub-par as is.

I would take a system where you picked one of 3 pre-generated generic white guys, 5 black guys, or 2 asian guys for your MyPlayer to no MyPlayer at all.

Yeah. I agree with you, people complaining about the atmosphere. To me, Crew is 5v5, and you beat down on your opponent. You know what would make it better? You start from Street, to the Summer Circuit court to a generic
Basketball arena to NBA-atmosphere. It gives people purpose to play the mode instead of "who's the best"
