CREW MODE is like Retro Air Jordans. & Pick Up Games are like a pair of Shaqs from Walmart.

Tweets from Ronnie2k should make you crew guys feel better:

Ronnie 2K 2K13 ‏@Ronnie2K
All the dev guys love that mode and know you do too. I am sure it'll return eventually, but dev determined it was simply not ready this year

3m Ronnie 2K 2K13 ‏@Ronnie2K
Dev completely rebuilt online 2K12 & you can see progress. Hoping to take another step this yr. We can't put out a broken crew mode again

5m Ronnie 2K 2K13 ‏@Ronnie2K
My thoughts- I played Crew mode a lot in #NBA2K11, really love that mode. But it was broken & if dev doesn't think it's ready, then it's not

According to one of the posters here the money is now going to Black OPs 2 skipping 2k all together....

But I wouldn't be surprised to see him post again once the game is out....

the fact is it wasn't broken. wasn't perfect, but broken? the servers weren't great(so many people getting in same game) but games could be accessed in a matter of seconds if u knew how to search. we're taking the hit for the xboxers i think. that's their problem. should've just had crew on ps3.

That is a telling quote lol. These crew guys try to act like they are the gods of sim but they are really the furthest thing from it. Call of Duty online is just a cheese fest as well and not realistic.

	My Crew is something that our fans are very loud and clear about as far as what they want and bringing that mode back. 2k11 was not the best year for us online, although it was one of our best selling products our servers were not at all reliable with us at the time. Last year we had a very stripped down version of online game modes and we had built the foundation up from scratch again. 2k13 is a continuation of that effort to make our online gameplay more stable. Our first and foremost goal is to make online as smooth as possible, and I think we have really done that this year, but we are still building up. 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.

This is a cause for optimism that 2K can have ranked lobbies, added features to OA that people have been asking for in 2K14 and future titles.

Makes sense.

I'm confused. Ronnie just tweeted that you can take your My Player online. Is that pretty much what people did in Crew?

# 130 Scoop 24 @ 09/18/12 12:48 PM

Lmao 2k kills me no crew games.. But u got stupid **** like legends and the dream teams in the game.

Crew was basically getting your MyPlayer and 4 other MyPlayer friends to form a crew, then play against other crews. This year, it seems they have 3 on 3 blacktop online.

He might be talking about blacktop mode. It's sorta like a "quick match" with my players on an outdoor court. It doesn't have the infrastructure of creating a crew of guys on your team you want to play with, team stats, etc. It also suffers from the same flaws as quick team up in that half the guys drop within the first half the game.

Edit: Also what Steve said ^^^^

2nd Edit: Ronnie just tweeted you can pick your team mates for black top mode. For me that might be enough to get me back into my player

3 on 3 blacktop with your friends. So a little bit different. I hope you can also get some random games.

Horrible comparison. While Shaqs were cheap and somewhat unpopular they were highly reliable, comfortable and offered more functionality than Jordans did. Jordans were about status and style. No one ever took a pair of fresh Js to the court to play in because they were to afraid to get them stepped on, dirty, or creased much like AF 1s. Crew and pick up are two different but similar modes, kinda like ms translator and google translate.

# 135 mymannemcee @ 09/18/12 12:52 PM

So, I was right. You can invite friends and play against three other people in a private team-up kind of setting.

I'm trying to ask him if 3v3 is our limit because I REALLY want to do 5 on 5.

They confirmed you can pick your teammates in blacktop mode?
