I know, I would hope they have a more realistic MP online mode and not JUST blacktop. that would be so aggravating if over the top blacktop was the only option like this.

At least Team-up is still in, hope they brought sliders back to custom team-up game options...

Lol crew isn't the selling point of this game, they can afford losing it and still be the number 1 sports game.....

# 204 Nitrous_18 @ 08/24/12 06:23 PM

Looks like september will be a dark month for you crew fans

# 205 Wildcats302 @ 08/24/12 06:59 PM

LOL at the crewpie guy (crewpie=groupie of crew mode) comparing taking out crew mode to taking out association hypothetically. Association is "slightly"

more important to the overall game than crew mode. There would be no basketball game without association but without crew...still #1.

Every mode but crew if you're Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, because they're already in the game.

MyPlayer already stretches the limits of realism (in a good way). None of us are Kevin Durant. Crew has me and my friends filling out the roster of a made up NBA team with Asian guys who are 6' 2" and under, playing against other made up NBA teams filled with dudes from the same rec league and one of their 12 year old cousins, who's 7'2" and 300 pounds in the game.

Not exactly the epitome of sports gaming realism.

Lets talk about whats IN the game and not whats NOT in the game or we're all going to have to move on

Not only would they be dealing with lots of complaints (#1 complaint on 2k forums easily) they're losing sales by not included it, it would be a really stupid business move.

Anyone who skips 2K just because of crew isn't really a basketball fan, an NBA fan, or even a basketball video game fan, and to that I just have to shrug. I prefer them cater to real fans of the sport and genre, rather than catering to some other demographic like they did with the Jay-Z influenced presentation elements.

Not that I don't want crew back. I just think militant crew only people are the wrong people for 2k to bend over backwards for.

What you're doing is living a fantasy life vicariously through the video game.

Also you want to know how it has reached a unhealthy stage for you guys ? ... you keep complaining about it non-stop even in threads that have nothing to do with Crew. You guys are starting to sound suicidal. I'm telling you though, nothing is better than actually going to an LA Fitness or local YMCA to ACTUALLY play pick up ball, its waaay better than Crew.

But please for the love of God, stop harassing 2K with this Crew nonsense so they can perfect the gameplay, some of us are content with just playing this game the old fashion way. controlled TEAMS.

What a lot of you don't realize is that by complaining about people who DO want crew you're no better. There's no place for comments like this, people don't have to enjoy the game the same way, this is America for crying out loud. I've admitted I'm not a hardcore NBA fan. I'm a hardcore sports fan sure, but NBA? No, I wouldn't say that. Crew mode got me back into backetball for the first time in quite a while, I tried Association but it just got stale after a few weeks. I've never tried Fifa's Club mode but that may be something to try, I'm kind of surprised 2k hasn't come back to it yet. Maybe they will still, but it doesn't appear it will be this season, and to me that is disappointing. Not to the hardcore crowd and that's great for you guys, but not for me. Just my two cents fellas.

A more productive idea for you guys would be to lobby for it as separate DLC or something. So that way it won't interfere with whatever agenda 2K has going on right now. Because you do know that what you guys are doing right now is counter productive to the launch ? right ?

# 212 raiderphantom @ 08/24/12 08:54 PM

I love crew but regardless 2k is a quality game. Seriously, some people sound like crack addicts for crew. Some serious heated debates. Talkin about crew being realistic? Are there any online games that are realistic? It's just a fun mode for some where they can build up their players and play with friends. Majority of gamers today are geared towards online play.

# 213 RedSceptile @ 08/24/12 09:00 PM

I've got no side in the debate. Even though their complaining is annoying, game has already gone gold anything missing now can't be added until 2K14. At the sametime stop being irrational guys just because you like something doesn't make it the most fun. 2K isn't going to cry if a few of you all decide not to buy 2K13 because of no crew. That's just ridiculous.

i like to play ball at the park too, i'm not living a fantasy life anymore than you are when you're doing you're association, or whatever else you're doing. these games are all a "fantasy" anyway, we're not actually the ones playing. how would you feel if they got rid of controlled teams? i think you'd be pissed off. instead of being mad at us for making post after post trying to get our mode back in the game, just be happy that yours is already in, and chill.

It's not even about specific modes, I have no mode that I'm biased to. If 2K ever came to a decision to remove online Association or even offline association (obviously drastic and illogical) and people were having a boycott campaign about it, I would be annoyed with them to. Now if they were to remove online entirely, THAT would be something to campaign and boycott against, but Crew is just a feature within online.

The reality of the situation is that Crew is not some traditional mode thats been around since the dawn of 2K, it's just some bonus that they decided to add one year. Its not the foundation of the series like how controlled teams are.

# 217 TUSS11 @ 08/24/12 09:22 PM

If 2K13 doesn't have Crew, I'm not bathing for a year!

seriously though man, how is reading some text online even annoying? i'm not in your face yelling about crew, i'm just typing words.... we're all just typing words so 2k knows that we haven't forgotten, and we're not gonna let it die just because they refuse to mention it. just scroll past them if you don't wanna read.

Its not the posts that annoy me its the fact that all this complaining might deter 2K from focusing on more important things like gameplay or fixing connectivity.

before you walk you must crawl. People are going on and on about Crew but online itself is still broken lol. You get what I'm saying ?

# 220 jreezy18 @ 08/24/12 09:35 PM

Noob question here: How do you guys quote specific sections of text? I don't want to test if it might be the same as another forum I go to and have what I type look stupid.
