He's part of the machine now, but at one time he was just like you and me. I feel like he has our best intentions when it comes to implementing hardcore competitive game modes into the NBA 2k franchise. Him and Ronnie's jobs are to be the Liaison between the community and the game company to hype up the game and keep developers informed of what the people like or dislike about their game. I'm Sure at some point conversations between Mike Wang, and Rob Jones were held by Ronnie & LD2k about what the fans want, and clearly the devs know by way of them implementing CREWS mode last year for 2k14, and now this year with crew mode returning in all its glory for 2k15. My only thing is, that you shouldn't go so hard on them, because ultimately, no matter what chris manning and ronnie singh go back and tell devs, its up to the developers, and the marketing team at 2k to decide whats best for the franchise. Although i understand VC being a huge part of their income, i'll never be a fan of Microtransactions in Videogames. Paying $65 bucks for a videogame may be a broken format, but its a format i've grown accustomed to and refuse to have to pay an extra fee just so my "avatar" online can get better much faster than actually working on him naturally. Defense is another story....this game has suffered horribly in that department since 2k11. Nba 2k12 started with the sliding, then in 13' they removed the feature to block shots, then in 14, they brought it back. Hopefully in 15' they've calibrated it back to how it was in 2k11.Now with us going into NG, lets hope and pray that we can get a working version of crew mode as well. The only difference i noticed was, during last years campaign for CREWS mode, it was written in stone that CREWS mode was an xbox 360/PS3 exclusive and it was NOT coming for NG. This year during the live stream, although they said it was coming for 360/PS3, they also never said the elements of crew were not going to be available to us on next gen. I just think the install base is greater for Last gen and the conversion rate from LAst Gen to Next gen is slower than expected due to lack of software from NG systems. So i understand why they would want to please last gen gamers with news of crew mode. All is not lost fellas. Keep up the faith and also keep the 2k bashing to a minimum.

I think sometimes people forget that LD2k and Ronnie are gamers and want the very best game possible, but like you said they are on a leash so to speak and if they want to keep their jobs they have to do as instructed by 2k.

Over years I have gotten frustrated by 2k's lack of fixing certain things, like the duplicate bug when trying to backdate a new roster to opening night and all the issues with downloading rosters off of 2k share that screw up Associations. But that kind of stuff I know isnt LD2k or Ronnie's fault thats all on the devs as they are the ones doing the work on the game, and continue to leave those same glitches in every year.

I will say this while those same glitches were in last years game, the game over all was the best NBA2k ever. Im really surprised they are even making NBA2k15 for the old gen console, as I figured since they didnt bother to patch the game last year that it was basically being abandoned. I suppose they see they can make some extra $ by making it for the old gen, but I cant really see myself buying it, even though Im stuck with the PS3 since I cant afford the PS4. I figure the same exact glitches I mentioned will be in NBA2k15 and probably just like last year once the game is out they will abandon it and not patch anything that may be wrong. If they actually do fix all the glitches that I mentioned and the create player glitch that cause issues, and support the game after the release then I might pick it up at a later date. For now Im planning on just continuing on with NBA2k14 as I have enjoyed it, other than those same glitches that has plagued the game yearly that they continue to ignore. As for crew mode I could care less as I only play Association offline, but it is nice that they put it back in since so many like it, but sounds kind of shady of them to do it for old gen and not the new console.

I'm gonna be that guy with a 60 overall while everyone else is in the 80's/90's. Not gonna start another VC war. But I will say if it gets out of hand I'll probably be giving up on this mode quickly. It's not even about the price although they probably should at least charge more. I just don't care for these shortcuts. It cheapens the experience. Just play the game please.

I find VC easy to exploit without even buying it. Though, you'll need to gain a lot quickly.

Just get enough for a MyTeam Gold Plus pack and re-sell and repeat. (That's assuming that you'll still do that)

But even then, myCareer is fairly easy to gain VC without buying.

Gonna keep posting this in every forum so everyone sees it

Here are the features that some preorder sites mention about 2k15 for PS3/Xbox 360:

Eclectic soundtrack is curated by the one-and-only Pharrell Williams

Award-winning gameplay includes new animations, a new shot-timing system and improved player AI for an intense basketball experience

With 2K Heroes, you can control teams featuring 5 epic players selected by and representing past NBA legends. Each 2K Heroes team supports a real-world charity with 2K making donations to each. You can earn wins for each team during a special promo period, and the team with the most wins gets a bonus donation.

Take your MyPLAYER online in the fully-featured Crew Mode, complete with NBA rules


As long as the gameplay its better with no clucky BS animations am good, i played 2k11 just for crew pretty much, so if the gameplay is better atleast ill call this 2k11 2.0.

any chance of us getting individual crew stats with a patch? leaving it out was a huge mistake.

Considering they didnt patch NBA2k14 for old gen I wouldnt count on them patching NBA2k15. Main reason Im going back an forth on buying it, because they wont support the old gen once its out. 14 was a great game but it did have some issues that should have been patched, even with gameplay being as good as it was there was some issues. Like AI coaches leaving in players in foul trouble, where some would foul out even before the 4th qtr.

Honestly buying 15 for the old gen console is basically buy at your own risk, because once they get your money its game over and your stuck with a flawed game more than likely.

I know its still tempting to buy because Im very tempted since Euro league players can be signed in your Association, along with getting the Hornets. I figure 14 played a pretty good game, and sim stats were the best they had been in years for Association, so I would figure at worst 15 will be as good as 14 was, but there is always that risk that the devs screwed something up, and its almost guaranteed they wont fix anything thats broke for us old gen guys. Only reason they are making it is because they know people wil buy it, so its money in their pocket without supporting it once its out. Where as they have no choice but to patch the new gen console since they will want people to buy that game going forward.

Does anyone know if we are going to be guaranteed of an equal playing field for Crew? Hacks are still happening in NBA 2K14, and if you remember in 2K11 that destroyed the mode and turned off so many to what was a great mode before cheaters came along. Just don't want to see a repeat of that.

In my whole time with 2k11 crew, i NEVER, saw these type of players on ps3, so thats probably just a problem with xbox360 sadly, since its more vunerable to hacking through pc.
