It was mentioned but we knew zero about it. However I would not be shocked if the stage wasnt the secret mode.

Plus the fact that you will be able to scout your next opponent in real time just seems cool to me. And people will also be much less likely to quit out of games if you've waited for a while to get on the court. Holding down a court will actually mean something, just like it does in real life.

20 mins is a long time. I understand you are different, but I am sure most people would like to just hop in a game when they are ready to play. Some people really just don't have time to sit and watch someone play a 20min game. Then get on and say you lose, you have to wait 20mins again.

The watching live games is cool as hell to me. But, they could've just had it where you can watch your Crew play or something if they just left it the old way when you can just search for games when you're ready. But it does have some positives of people watching you go on streaks and beating everyone.

And holding down a court. But I just wish you had the option of the REC type of league or the old type of Crew playing in an actual arena beating someone and on to the next game. I like your perspective though. Some of those are positives.

I am glad they added the JRC....

But, Squads is not a solution for Crew players.

Clearly says "pick a squad for your current session" which means no continuity. I.e. No win loss records for your squad, no stat tracking for your squad, etc.

Maybe I missed something, I sure hope I did.

Looks crazy. Shiiit it might be over for real life basketball when this drops. Fr Fr.

Yeah, but it is probably a step toward continuous squads next year or something like that, with significant tracking.

Don't kid yourself. Absolute max time 20 min? How do you figure? As of right now, a normal online game takes 30-40 min to complete. You have to take in account fouls, free throws, time outs, etc. Then what if the game goes into overtime?

I know that waiting for a game can be a pain sometimes, but I honestly think 2K does it, not only to try to give The Park a "realistic" look and feel, but also to keep people from quitting out of games. You see this problem in 1v1 and Team Up. People get down 8 points in the second quarter, or decide they aren't getting enough shots, and they quit out knowing they can immediately get into a new game.

Without the guarantee of being able to immediately jump back in, and possibly having to wait 20-30 mins to get into another game, it encourages people to play through and finish games.

Whether this is worth the tradeoff of having to wait is for people to decide for themselves, but I think there's a method to 2K's madness.
