2v2 at the minimum is just fine because they our at least 2 manual teammates on each Crew. A Crew could and should be required of at least 2 people.

Like I said, telling people if they can't find 5 ppl in their crew to play 3v3 is crazy. Especially if they ever bring back the real Crew Mode. I personally ran w/ 3 guys at all times and that was perfect. Instead of playing w/ 5 guys in 5 min quarters. Done discussing it w/ you though because you have always said some of the craziest things I've seen on here.

The cpu is not better than a human.

They can't shoot, their d isn't as good, and their IQ is terrible.

If we play with cpu teammates we're handicapping ourself not you.

Why? Like, specifically.

The worst crew ballers NEED the CPU. That's why ya'll are so butthurt. You're not confident enough in your crew to play straight up, crew vs crew, your squad vs the other. Not Dwight Howard, not Lebron James, just your crew vs the other. You need the CPU to cover your bad D for you with double teams, zones, or calling CPU plays and setting picks. Maybe that doesn't apply to you, but it applies to many who are upset about having no CPU. I can understand the disappointment over it being to 21, but having no CPU is actually a good thing. Build up your friends list and you should have no problem having enough players.

Why you speaking so ignorantly?

Go back and watch 2K11 gameplay, the cpu was HORRIBLE.
I lost a lot more games when I had more computers on my team than human players.

My Crew was tough, the cpu meant nothing. If you played realistic ball you could ALWAYS beat the cheesers. Not the cheaters with the uncapped giants, but the spinning dunk bums and stuff like that.

Whether they are good or not isn't really relevant. The problem is it makes the game ARTIFICIAL. It's not your crew vs the other, it's you + Lebron vs the other. It's that CPU guy setting you a pick. I want to win or lose vs other manually controlled my players, not CPU cheese. There's enough cheese in this game without bringing that cheese where you just tap double team at the right moment with the CPU and it makes you miss, or the godlike recovery speed in zone. The entire point of crew was to replicate the REAL, 5on5 basketball experience --- which happens to be all humans. Last time I checked, I haven't seen any robots or drones on street courts or 24hr fitness, have you lol. The lack of CPU in 3on3 blacktop in 2K13 was actually one of the funnest parts about it.

I don't think anyone needs the CPU. It would be worse if someone was playing a zone w/ all human players because everything would be getting tipped or stolen. You making it seem like CPU was better than a user. None of those guys were effective like you're making it seem.

You're acting like people could just give it to Bron or Dwight and he would go off. I am sure I played more crew than you and I've never seen someone feed the CPU and they get consistent buckets. It was actually dumb to have the CPU to shoot for you on offense. And their defense wasnt all that good either. You're over exaggerating and I hope the CPU is back when Crew comes back.

I thought this guy was a "Crew Head", but he sounds so ignorant to Crew lol. The CPU was terrible on offense and was decent on defense depending on the ones you had.

Like I said in above post, whether they are good or not is not the main issue. The main isssue is having CPU makes the game artificial. AI, CPU, artificial, non-manual, programmed, scripted. Half your players are playing organically, half your players are playing scripted. That ain't crew. Don't call it crew then, call it my player co-op. Crew supposed to replicate real ball, and having drones on the court ruins that.
