NBA 2K14 Features Crew Mode - 3-on-3 or 5-on-5

04:01 PM - August 14, 2013 by Steve_OS

The achievement list teased the announcement earlier, but 2K Sports has now confirmed NBA 2K14 will feature Crew Mode. As Shade8780 points out, it looks like it could be current-gen only, at the very least we won't know about its status on next-gen just yet.

	For those asking, yes full court 5v5. Community Team up guys were playing a 3v3 halfcourt game. CREWS 3v3 or 5v5 at this time.

Yeah, it appears 3v3 Crew was advertised and marketed as a featured, much-loved mode, when it got none of the attention, work, thought, or functionality expected for such a mode.

Sounds like a couple of Team-Up guys called them out on it. It threw a wrench in their plans to leverage these guys to sell the mode, and they scrambled to provide something that wouldn't be entirely insulting or offensive.

It might even be fun. It just appears to be a shadow of its former self.

I dont really get why everyone calling it a shadow of it self. If you have the ability to play a 5 v 5 full court NBA game I think it could only be better. The gameplay in 2k14 looks like it is going to blow 2k11 out of the water.

If my assumptions of it being 5 v 5 NBA rule based are correct (Gonna have to wait and see) the only real difference is the presentation. Maybe its because Im not big on presentation anyways but I could care less that its on the blacktop with no jerseys. Like I posted earlier 90% of the people I played had jerseys that just made the game look stupid.

I think they should give the option to pick an NBA teams jersey set. That way when Im home I can pick any of the available home jerseys for the Knicks and vice versa for away. IMO keeping it simple like this will be so much easier for the server

Playbooks might be missing as well in this Blacktop-hacked-into-Crew incarnation. That's huge for those who want to play some version of real pro ball. As is all the "presentation" stuff. Presentation is a huge part of the fun.

Good point i'm sure there are a lot of people who do really enjoy those things but it just doesn't appeal to me guess thats why I think the mode will be fine on the blacktop. And playing with 5 friends who I play basketball with in RL took out the playbooks for me. So yea I guess im alittle bias haha

I still can't believe 2K actually threw this "Crews" Mode on the Blacktop. Can't wait to see how everything turns out lol.

Whether the games are played on the blacktop or in an arena its still going to be the same gameplay so I dont get why everyone thinks the mode is going to be terrible because of this.

But like Ive said in a few of my other posts. Im not big about presentation. So I could care less if Im playing on the blacktop or in Madison Square Garden. Neither changes the experience for me. And I play the game on mute most of the time so dont gotta deal with the terrible blacktop annoucer. Also thought 90% of the created jerseys looked dumb. Wish they would just let you pick an NBA jersey set to have as your crews baseline. Just my opinion but its clear a lot of people really enjoyed the customization so hopefully it returns either at the start or in a DLC.

Im still assuming that a 5 v 5 full court game they announced will consist of a ref and 4 quarters. If thats not the case then I agree its a joke

I just hope u dont need 5 players for 5v5, just fill with computers

# 289 green225 @ 08/15/13 08:53 AM

i can't believe ronnie's saying all of us "no crew no buy" people should pre order the game now after showing us that sack of crap. you slap the crew name on blacktop, and think that'll make us happy??

yeah i thought that was pretty arrogant when he said that.. especially since there is so much negative feedback and they wont show us the full thing yet,,it sucks i like basketball so much so ima get the game anyway but i hate having to buy a game from people like 2k an ronnie same with how i feel bout EA an madden i dont like EA at all but i love football to much to not get the game

# 291 gluecows @ 08/15/13 09:09 AM

Crew mode in blacktop isn't the same. I don't care if its in the arena but it better be 4 quarters, 5 mins. Long, hall of fame, and realistic fouls. Also I hope it's not like 2k13 where I can hit 80% of my 3s and dunk from the free throw line. I want to play 2k not NBA Jam.

that's not crew, man. that's blacktop with the name "crews" slapped on it to sell copies. you can't tell me we're supposed to be happy about them taking 100 steps back from 2k11's greatest of all time mode. i'm coy to what they're doing though, i believe we'll get crew on next gen.

If 2k was making nba as a free game then we have no right to complain. But guess what , it ain't .

They're making the product for us , so we can say whatever we want. And when they give us s*** were allowed to say its s***. Simple as that

# 294 IDBall @ 08/15/13 02:03 PM

Guess I'm skipping 2K14... I expected more from 2K. Glorified NBA Blacktop...

# 295 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 08/15/13 02:22 PM

I bet nba live will have some form of crew, u see it in the fifa already. But gameplay wise live might not be so good. 2k needs competition BAD,

I am not trying to hear it. People in this thread keep telling y'all how it's not the "Crew" we wanted even though its an upgrade. Y'all keep posting the same thing. We explained how its not and y'all still don't understand so leave it alone.

All I can do is tell you is to ask yourself how would you feel if 2K made the regular games on the Blacktop? I bet y'all wouldn't be saying, "At least we have stats, leaderboards, and can play basketball". All hell would break loose. Y'all would want the atmosphere, commentary, plays, replays, animations when and all that other good stuff. Not going to change how we feel, we were expecting 2K11 type Crew.

It's not even up to 2K's standards.

You'd seriously be happy if someone gave you a moped after they took away your Ducati?

Even after knowing that they originally planned to give you a bicycle, since they're both "bikes"?

Your transportation-- it's back!!

# 298 Melbournelad @ 08/15/13 02:57 PM

Not to be disrespectful to the crew guys, but at least now you how it feels for those of us who have had a watered down association for the last 4-5 years.

And in 5v5 do we have to have 5 players to start a game or will the CPU fill in? So many questions....We are not amused!!!

100% Exactyl what I'm thinking. If they could only bring back the exact same mode as 2k11 we would be set.

I've played quick game matches in the Blacktop atmosphere, its still fun.

The point he's making is that (assuming that 5v5 is four quarter, 5 minute quarters) you shouldn't be pissed about the atmosphere. Crew is only defined as "5 v 5 between MyPlayers." When you guys get the basics, you STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS SO SMALL IF YOU THINK ABOUT, no disrespect, but that's what I'm seeing.

The only people who should be pissed is Association/OA guys, nothing for them since 2K11.
