To emphasize this point, shake and kspade said they wouldn't stand for a 3 v 3 game mode and demanded 5 v 5. 2k gave them that and is now advertising a 5 v 5 mode. How are they gonna have that if the game releases in October unless 1) they already have the coding ready for 5 v 5 or 2) the coding isn't as difficult as you make it seem. PS: Of course I'm new congrats you can read the box with my name in it

Well, remember that online has been completely rebuilt in 2K12. And you said, Online Team Up being coded to be Crew, so first off, I'm using your words. Also, they have about 7-8 months to code everything (guessing here) and then test and edit. You maybe see it as easy, but everything you see has been early early development, that explains why the online menu looks exactly like 2K13, why you only seen 3v3, etc. You're judging on an incomplete build shown off not even at the right "hype time"

I will agree that the timing isn't right but judging now vs next month isn't right.

They already know what we wanted in crew (it was in 2k11) and they didn't deliver once again. Nobody asked for a improved blacktop mode with leaderboards and calling it crew. If thats all the fans of crew mode get after having waited all this time, then all I can say is shame on 2k. Its like a slap in the face.

It looks to me like all they really want to do is just milk their new VC system some more, instead of actually giving its customers and fans what they want.

I'm not gonna beg and plea for something that should of been delivered like it was many years ago. I will buy other games that interest me and check to see what Live 14 has to offer this year in terms of gameplay and great online modes. As someone else said EA already has a clubs mode in both FIFA and NHL, which is like crew so hopefully they add that to their NBA game.

Seriously tho, I was just sitting here thinking , only 2k would say they're giving the fans what they want and completely f it up . It's incredible , they know what we loved , but they tried to give us a slightly upgraded blacktop mode and expected us to throw money and praise their way? In their eyes , we must be stupid , can't imagine they thought anyone who enjoyed the mode and had a brain would be all for this.

That being said , 5v5 could be identical to 2k11 and I would apologize with my $65 , but they sure as hell ain't answering the right questions and putting an end to negative speculation.

What's crew mode? I never played it.

Real talk, 2k could come back with something in a week that will make me bite my words. I'm just saying that there's no reason not to have the mode we all want back when they've had all of 2012 and most of 2013 to get it right.
As for the development of the mode, you can't say that what you saw took up a major portion of 2k's schedule. It was the same court as blacktop, similar menus, the same clothes/hairstyles for all the players. Virtually everything was the same except for the stamina bar (should've been there already), the logo (already in the game) and the crew management settings. I can't say for the gameplay but that should be there anyway. 2k13 blacktop mode they managed to produce in a year of development, they should be able produce something somewhat innovative in the same about of time.

Think Team-Up mode, but with your created myplayer and a group of peoples other created myplayer on the same team. You made the court, name, logo, colors and went against other crews.

2K should say something in the next days (its gonna be weeks as Path to greatness is the next marketed thing I think)

I do believe what we saw was a big WIP build, nothing close to the final build (hopefully.)

I'm saying the reason why it took long is that it was a online beta build, I know for a fact that everything was rebuild and tested on. I'd rather see them improve the entire thing one by one vs what people claim this as half assed on the final builds on 2K12 and 2K13. Takes time to perfect a method, and I think the devs were ready.

But why test the mode one by one, taking out this and that when they could cut to the mode that they KNOW everyone or almost everyone enjoys. I don't understand why they couldn't use the key features of 2k11 crew mode such as the customization of it all (ie. hacked players) and fix the bugginess of all that instead of rebuilding from the the ground up. They already have the blueprints to the mode, but instead of using them they decided to try and build the same thing from scratch. I know its not a simple copy and paste of the code but don't they at least have an idea of where they want to go with this?
