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.

The safe "I'll believe it when i see it" bet seems to be that Crew will just be 5v5 Blacktop at best, because that's what everything we've seen and heard suggests. The facts: 5v5 was started two weeks ago-- This is HUGE. Being familiar with game industry practices, dev cycles, and QA time needed for additions and changes, you generally CANNOT completely rebuild a game mode close to release, much less have it all completed in two weeks. Trying to do this and have it be proplery tested in such a short amount of time is nearly irresponsible in software development. 2K has never been one to take risks close to release. Only 3v3 up to two weeks ago-- It means that 2k did NOT intend on implementing a full fledged 2K11 style crew mode for this year's release, and were interested in doing the least work necessary to sell "Crews" by redefining what "Crews" meant. No word of Arenas/Jerseys/NBA rules from LD2k or Ronny-- In the very week they are promoting the "Return of Crew", they have avoided responding to questions related to the above. Ronny hyped Crews for a whole week, and 2K Marketing went through the effort to script, film, and produce a promotional video piece. Why would they do all that and NOT answer the biggest concern of folks who are interested in Crews? They could dispel all the angst and misgivings and accusations with one word. Yet they chose not to respond IN THE WEEK that they're trying to make the mode look a good as possible. I think both Chris and Ronny are smarter and more savvy at marketing than that. Notice how Beluba (who's not even in marketing) popped in from his busy schedule to allay our fears that in-paint contact wasn't addressed when it's one of the top 2 issues in 2K13? See how happily that thread has gone for the most part? The facts don't prove that 5v5 will be Blacktop only. I never said they did. They merely heavily insinuate it will be Blacktop only. Meanwhile there is no fact that suggests otherwise. I'm going to go in the direction the facts are pointing into, vs. the unlikely polyanna view based on even less evidence. "You don't know for sure" is not a trump card to support any and all clusions in the midst of varying degrees of certainty. That fact is there are more facts for my conclusion than your opinion. They may not seem conclusive to you, and neither of us know for sure, but one is more likely than the other, and I prefer sticking to more likely conclusions than less likely ones. And in the end, you have even less supporting evidence to continue a quixotic crusade to convince others that they shouldn't at all be worried or concerned. A simple "We don't know for sure, and we can hold out hope, but I admit some of this evidence doesn't look good", or "I dont mind Blacktop Crew, but I understand others do" would go a long way towards constructive conversation about Crews. It was your many posts that continued to tell others what they should feel, like, do, accept, ignore, and believe contrary to mounting evidence that compelled me and many others to respond.

amen to that, a****inmen.

i hope live has a crew mode

Cool story (Crew Mode) bro. How about a more in depth/true-2-life offline Association mode.

That was the point of Crew, 5 v 5 of a team of myPlayers. With NBA rules. Or Street if you went Blacktop.

If we don't speak and let them know what we want and just accept what they give us, there will be no progression

I agree man. I really do. But we are past that point. They spoke up. VC listened and made a change to find a middle ground. So, again, why can't that be acknowledged as a positive step? That's all I'm saying.

...and the fact that Crew was made in 2 days BEFORE team up. They knew what we wanted for a long time.

They've known for years that we've badly wanted Crew, yet only two days were spent on it to hack 3v3 Blacktop into "Crew"?

That actually speaks volumes on how little they were orginally willing to commit to Crew on this generation.

I mean, it's like knowing for years that your girlfriend wants you to marry her, her finally hinting she's done waiting and has been flirting with a coworker -- then offering her a cigar band with a diamond drawn on it.

"But, but I only spent two days making this! See, I knew what you wanted! Bow before my thoughtfulness!"

Quick question: if it's a 5on5 game, with rules, 4 quarters, whatever. And all it's missing is NBA arenas and uniforms. Is that that much of a lesser mode?

For some people on here no, and they could care less what venue it's played on or whether there is street clothes instead of jerseys. But for the die hard crew guys yea it definitely feels like a lesser mode

I wasn't aware this was an Association thread.

# 412 sniapeko @ 08/17/13 09:48 AM

you guys should care less about crew mode and more about gameplay and CPU intelligence.
anyways crew mode will be filled by cheesers and will become un-playable just like the current blacktop and quick online match

PLEASE fill in the missing spots with CPU's on the 5v5.

# 415 mpenias @ 08/17/13 05:16 PM

Why man? Honestly I'm an offline player, never got into online modes. But, IMHO, having Crew on the blacktop is more realistic to what most people experience. Feels like mostly an aesthetic problem rather than a gameplay problem.

But to each his own ...

# 417 xMoJox @ 08/17/13 08:59 PM

All I want to know is whether 5 v 5 will be played on an NBA court like crew always was! 5v5 blacktop is NOT crew to me F DAT!

# 418 andrewerdna100 @ 08/17/13 09:12 PM

Sucking at basketball is more realistic to what most people experience. Do we need a video game for that?

We play NBA2K, MyCareer, and Crew for the NBA/pro ball fantasy experience. I don't need a videogame that replicates the mundaneness of everyday ball when I already played 2 hours this morning.

I'm also a mostly offline player. How would we like it if they put MyCareer games in a practice gym and turned it into a simulation of rec league ball? After all, it's just aesthetics.
