Truth is i like basketball and it just so happens that 2k is the only maker right now so my hands have been tied. Good thing is i have something to fall back on (GTA) this year and check back next year to see if they cleaned up their act.

You are right and wrong. Wrong in that you don't define Crew. They do. Now if you don't like it, you can express that. And that's cool and you should. But you need to realize that more often than not, you represent a very small part of the audience. Don't think that most people agree with you because you and 10 other Crewbies fill up an OS thread. 2k12 (and i think 2k13) outsold 2k11 without Crew. So, apparently, folks weren't that best up about it as you may think.

But I feel you man. You sound like me and Madden. The difference, though is that EA and the NFL forced out the competition the wrong way.

Can I get the Lotto numbers from you, oh Great Sage?

Well there you have it folks. Crew will be on Blacktop. What an anticlimactic week.

"you represent a very small part of the audience. Don't think that most people agree with you because you and 10 other Crewbies fill up an OS thread."

uhhhh... you mean the thread that has 17.5 thousand views on OS already, after just 2 days?

" 2k12 (and i think 2k13) outsold 2k11 without Crew."

That's because 2k was the only basketball video game being sold those years, with zero competition.

" So, apparently, folks weren't that best up about it as you may think."

Have you even spent one minute of time looking at the outcry on twitter and youtube of literally thousands of disappointed people?

Not to mention the countless polls over the weeks and months where people have ranked CREW as being the second most important mode to them after Myplayer, which is THE most popular mode in the game.

Sorry to say, but for a MOD you come across on here as very bitter and petty towards the crew community.

^Just because a thread on crew gets that amount of views doesn't mean that all who view it are extremely interested in the mode.

I would say since it has considerably more views than the "2k14 features revealed" thread, made on the same day, that people definately care about crew; hell maybe even as much or more as they do about finding out what's going to be in the next game. But you're right, all those people probably just clicked on the thread by accident.

First, I'm not a mod. If I were, the ban hammer would be broken from overuse. Second, polls are filled in by folks the that pound the forums. The same people I'm talking about. The vocal minority. Vocal, but still a minority. Lastly, a lot of you guys come off as butt hurt and defensive. If I come off petty to any group, it's the group of people pitching a fit because they THINK they didn't get exactly what they want. Well, cry a river. It's a game. No puppies will be harmed if Crew isn't played in an arena. There is SO much crying about assumed minutia, I'm starting to think VC should have just left the mode out completely until it was fully baked. But then we would REALLY be seeing crying, I guess. Any reasonable person would settle for part of what they want if they can't have it all. I'm sure many of the Crewbies will make do. But some of them are really going off. "Well, I'll just buy Live" before they even know if Live will actually ship, let alone have a Crew like mode that they crave so much.

And for the record, being bitter versus being annoyed (and mostly amused) with incessant whining and temper tantrums are two different things. But if you prefer to call it bitter, that's fine. No skin off my back. :P

No, it just means that the Crewbies just won't shut the f up!
