No Crew Mode For NBA 2K13

08:54 AM - September 18, 2012 by Steve_OS

During a recent interview with US Sports Down Under, NBA 2K13 Producer, Erick Boenisch let the cat out of the bag, as he confirmed no Crew Mode for NBA 2K13. This marks the second year in a row Crew Mode will not be featured in the game.

	We didn�t have time to add a crew mode this year, but its definitely something we will be looking at moving forward because the demand is certainly there.

I never played crew. I sympathize to those that miss it, because I know how it'd feel if they took out MyPlayer or Association.

Hopefully they just couldn't make it to the finish line, but I'm pretty darn sure they worked on getting it in, at least in the Alpha stage. This is an opportunity, however, for you guys to play the other modes, no matter how much you're not into them. If you like bball video games, you'll still probably have more fun than playing nothing at all. Heck, you might find yourself a new favorite mode to enjoy while you wait for '14!

No, what made the game good was BASKETBALL! If folks can't see that, then there is no point in continuing this. Agree to disagree that we want completely different games. Basically, Crew mode was a dog and pony show for My Player if that is the case. May as well played frisbee as long as you could use your player, with your boys, with your jersey, being ranked. Actually going to war with your boys with a player you developed playing actual basketball is secondary I guess.

First, your "every game has cheats" argument is flimsy at best. So what? Using an exploit is one thing. Straight up hacking a player to a point where they completely BREAK the game and laws of reality is quite another. Knowing you worked to build your player only to get tooled by someone that completely circumvented that process ILLEGALLY (yes, read your end users license agreement) goes far beyond being annoyed. And you know this. Are you arguing just to get attention?

As for "we said it should be fixed this way", don't flatter yourself. That fix requires an investment that should have never been necessary. So don't act as if a top developer didn't know how to fix it. They just didn't know they needed to go that route. If it was PS3 only, we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we?

Pure marketing, they forced you to stay tuned for news and to know whatever they wanted you to know

Clearly because nothing was set in stone.

You are certainly no marketing expert. If you have bad news, release it sooner rather than later so that the furor dies down before release.

No crew? Awww man. I was really looking forward to playing untold amount of exploiters and cheesers....

Glad really. 2K can focus on other stuff now.

# 309 Jrocc23 @ 09/19/12 03:52 AM

All you had to do was not play the mode.

NEVER EVER. So should they get rid of online ranked matches as well?

I wouldn't care if they did. PLaying online is not important to everyone. Same as Crew Mode, it isn't everyone's thing.

NBA 2k is about the NBA players for me, I don't want to spend hours creating and playing with a virtual copy of myself, i'd rather lace up my kicks and go down the real court. At least I wouldn't bump into any 7' point guards down there.

Bottom line, Crew is gone, for now, and there's nothing that can be done about it. People need to move on and realise NBA 2K13 offers dozens of game modes outside of your beloved Crew, either play them or don't buy the game....

At least they told mugs before it came out but I'm sure people will still complain but I know it won't be like Madden. Midnight buy for me. Crew mode is not the heart and soul for 2k basketball.

And its crazy how people think that over some Poll....Crew mode is def not the selling point of this game!

I've come up with an idea of how people can play crew! It is still possible. Bear with me though it's a bit complicated. *You need to buy the NBA 2k13 Dynasty Edition for this method to work*

Ok what you do;

Take the basketball that comes with the NBA 2k13 Dynasty Edition.

Call 4 of your closest friends.

Meet up at a local basketball court.

Find people on the court willing to play some 5 on 5, or call up more friends.

Voila!

The good thing about this method is, I can gurantee there will be no hackers! Perfect!

[This was meant as a lighthearted post, not a diss on crew lovers...I respect you want your favourite mode back, but it wont be happening in 2k13 so just try to smile about it and enjoy what there is and i'm sure Crew will return before long!

Are hackers annoying? Yes, but my crew for the most part could beat the hackers. Most the hackers sucked at 2k11 anyways so if you had a good defensive team and ran a good offense you could easily win. What makes me mad is they shut down the crew servers in 2k11 eventhough they left it out again.

I did a video about it yesterday, and after talking to some more people, I see both sides of it. I'm a crew-head myself but enjoy the other modes enough that it isn't THE END for me, however I'm okay with at least having blacktop mode this year, compared to nothing last year. It's a step in the right direction, but I do definitely want crew back ASAP. Looking forward to the game either way and can't wait to drop videos at like 12:30, haha. My brother and I are really excited.

FALLING. OFF.

Blacktop 3vs3 wont be all that good im guessing
Will be like the Legends 3v3 Showcase. Half court,cheese fest.
Example. Tell your friends to go stand in the corner so its just u vs the other opponent in a 1on1. U cross him over then go to basket for easy dunk or layup. Doesnt sound like much fun

Exactly, it will be like that mode on the showcase which wasn't fun at all. Will be filled with inbounds from big man to pg to slasher oops to basket.... smh

Everyone that is saying no crew isn't the end of basketball for 2k, maybe correct but it is the end of myplayer/mycareer. There is no point in playing mycareer mode. That is what people that don't play crew or never used the mode doesn't understand. To the non-hackers, they know the time put in to make your my player great. Its just like a franchise mode, association mode, or whatever. You play to see the progression of your team, in this case player, become better and you want to see the extent of it's abilities. (yeah, its that deep) To the person that said go to the court and call four of your friends and hoop... should understand crew because its the same thing... just virtual.
