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 just don't understand crew homers...the mode was cool. Your own myplayers, with your customized jerseys and playing with friends. I get that.

But think back about what crew was actually like...kids with 7'0 PGs that could hit threes, cross over, and dunk from the free throw line. 99% of games were pure cheese. I'm not a complainer either because I'm bad, because I'm not. It just got old real quick, and I think people are reacting this way because the mode hasn't been in the game for a while.

Lots of Crew lovers are going to call you bad regardless. Which is pretty funny, what is it about playing with a 99ovr player with your own preferred custom releases every time that makes you good? Crew was the most casual multiplayer mode on 2K.

I like crew mode a lot. It was really fun to be able to play with your friends with you own my player. team-up isn't like crew at all. It's like them taking out my player and leaving create a legend. I want to play with a person I created. However, with the absence of crew last year i learned how fun it was to play association. I'm still getting the game because Madden isn't that fun this year.

Bit of a downer going to miss the ability of hooking up a crew and playing against ball hoggin 7'9 PG's. Damn

1. Its a myth that nearly every match was vs cheaters. This was not true. I don't think the PS3 vn was even hackable and I never saw 1 7'9 player and wouldn't have believed it aws possible until I saw a video of it on Youtube
2. The mode is not basically teamup. You get to create your own team with your own logos and jersey style/colours and rosters. Your friends aren't forced into playing a position with a ****ty player slotted in (ie if I was playing team up with 2 friends using Philly one of us would have to be using a lesser player) because we could use our My Players
3.LEADERBOARDS. Seeing your crew as one of the best in the world (no cheating) feels nice

I hate how people act like it was a completely broken useless mode. It was probably second most played after my player.

The cheese only happened because of 2k11's mechanics. Collision detection in the paint wasn't really good so big men that were made to be Dwight Howard clones would dominate in the paint

With 2k12, many thought because the improved animations and stuff were present, that the mode would be more fun to play because many of the things people abused in 11 were gone. Unfortunately the mode was not included

With 2k13, it was the same reaction. The game has better animations and mechanics, so playing crew in 13 would have been much more fun than it was in 11. Once again however, the mode is excluded. The potential for the mode was very high and its very disappointing that 2k didn't spend more time with this

well i'm happy with the results of the poll they put up here. 1 out of 5 people on this site won't be buying the game because of no crew. that's a pretty massive number considering this is mostly a place for offline gamers.

I was a big Crew guy in NBA 2K11 and I played it almost every day. I jumped on 2K and then went into a party with my Crew teammates. When you found a legit, no cheesing game, it was the best mode in 2K11. But, that's the problem. There was hackers everywhere. There was people even hacking the height limit. Not to mention the servers weren't that great. It was a broken game mode and I don't blame 2K Sports for taking their time to bring it back. They have to make sure they can stop the hacking first. Once that's accomplished, Crew will be back.

Yo crew in 2k12 would've been amazing so one can only imagine 2k13 with the addition of crew... 2k12 lasted me a whole year just by anticipating the return next year but 2k13 won't last me a year everything is so generic and the black top is boring 3 on 3 half court to 21 NO! They could've at least did 5 on 5 full court 4 quarters. I believe they didn't add crew because you could buy VC to get your guy to a 99 (Idiots). They need to either upgrade ghe black top or release something of the sort as dlc because this WAS NOT WORTH $60 +

Crew mode may have got the attention of casuals but it sure was fun
