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.

I thought this guy was a "Crew Head", but he sounds so ignorant to Crew lol. The CPU was terrible on offense and was decent on defense depending on the ones you had.

My Crew was tough, the cpu meant nothing. If you played realistic ball you could ALWAYS beat the cheesers. Not the cheaters with the uncapped giants, but the spinning dunk bums and stuff like that.

Talking about some 21 blacktop... I just don't understand how the hell you ignore your fans so blatantly. It's as if EA has struck a deal with them in order to increase their revenue. I just save $500+ not bothering with their bull anymore.

Why the hell would they even put in 3v3 halfcourt? And make it 5v5 where all players have to be humans. Even in blacktop on '13 cpu filled in spots. How does a company downgrade each year. First crew had custom court in 10, then strictly jerseys 11, nothing 12, hacktop (with cpu filled spots) 13, 13's offline 5v5 hacktop converted to online. Complete bull NEVER buying this crap again until they listen.

Alright, man, it's your opinion. I just think its dumb to have to either play 5v5 or 3v3. We should have the option to have CPU teammates. You're not changing my opinion or most others.

Yeah, because I don't agree w/ you about having CPU teammates to fill out your team, ok lol.

Elitist attitude...not being able to play 5 on 5 crew games because you currently only have 4 people online is stupid as hell. Just set it up so that you need 3 minimum. I never saw a team in Crew mode that relied on the CPU to carry the team.

Also lets be honest their is not much real basketball played in Crew mode anyway, CPU or Human. Its a mode filled with a bunch of bs.

I agree. 3v3 would be perfect. Never ever seen a CPU player lead a Crew to victory. This guy talking about CPU cheese lmao.

But then why some of the Crew guys going off about 5v5, realism, immersion, blah, blah, blah.

Ive been told by Crew guys, 5v5 HAS to be there, well, if we want CPU players, than whats the point of 5v5 when 3v3 is an option? Please tell me why a lot of people begged for 5v5, but also wanted CPU players as fillers for 5v5. (Understand for the 4 member moments, other than that, I don't see anything else.)

Not about to dive deep into this. I'll give you one of my reasons, just play a blacktop 3v3 game and tell me that's real basketball. ALL that open court. It's so easy to score in that setting is ridiculous. It's not realistic playing on a court w/ 3 guys defending 3 people.

People wanted 5v5 because they wanted a realistic basketball setting, not a pickup game. They didn't say, all 10 players has to be a user. Look at a Crew game and then look at blacktop 3v3 and tell me which one looks like real basketball. It's barely any bball strategy on defense or offense with 3 players on each side. C'mon, it's common sense.

Both. Everyone is use to seeing 5v5, but its always possible to play "sim" with at least 2 teammates. (2 v 2 would be just PnR)

Its common sense that if a group plays with a real life strategy, its realistic and sim. Doesn't matter the setting. Your park, your gym, or the NBA.

2v2 isn't a real simulation of basketball neither is 3v3. Like I said, watch Crew and then watch Blacktop Mode. Way easier to score in 3v3 and a big part of the reason is because how much space is on the court.

Basketball was really meant to be played with 10 players on a court. Sure you can play a 3v3 or whatever, but it's not a real simulation of basketball.

Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.0 m) high mounted to a backboard at each end.

Street basketball is a variation of the sport of basketball typically played on outdoor courts, featuring significantly less formal structure and enforcement of the game's rules.

On what grounds does it make it a standard that sim only applies to 5v5? Wasn't basketball made originally 9v9? Its playing sim that's more important, and like you said, you can play sim 3v3, because i think what you're trying to say is Emulation.

Emulating what you see and how everything works, rather than being sim and doing what individuals do.

I don't know what it orginally was, but it's not 3v3 and I know it's been 5v5 ever since I've been watching. I said all that was needed in the first post. Way too easy on a big court w/ 3 defenders.

Yeah that's Emulation what you're trying to say. Cause its why you mimicking what we see instead of focusing on one object like a player.

Spoiler

Though I could be wrong...

Alright, we're done. I don't know what's wrong w/ you lol. It's as video game! If that's the case, it also doesn't say you should be controlling players w/ a controller *using your crazy logic* I guess playing a regular game on 2K isn't basketball either right? It's a game!

Spoiler Emulation is the process of mimicking the outwardly observable behavior to match an existing target. The internal state of the emulation mechanism does not have to accurately reflect the internal state of the target which it is emulating. Simulation, on the other hand, involves modeling the underlying state of the target. The end result of a good simulation is that the simulation model will emulate the target which it is simulating.

Call it what you want, it's not real basketball with players playing 3v3. That's pickup or streetball.

Fine by me, you can define basketball by how much players there are rather than playing style.

Basketball to me is where you play trying to beat an opponent using multiple of strategies.

Pickup/Streetball is free style basketball.

I've never said that, but basketball is supposed to really be played 5v5. The official rule is for the game of basketball to be played with 10 players. Not 6.

It's a videogame, but it's also a simulation. So we are getting our reference from the real sport. Just sayin there's nothing realistic about the format of crew that you're saying. That's just a fact! Having CPU = artificial. And yes, quickmatch FORMAT is more artificial because there's CPU. I'm not making this up I swear! All I'm doing is looking at how basketball is played in real life, and the format it's played in. And if this is a true simulation, the format is 5on5 humans in the first person POV. That's how everyone experiences it in real life, and that's how crew should represent it. That's like the MAIN thing that differentiates teamup and crew from quickmatch, yet you're making it sound like they should be the same. My player co-op doesn't = crew. CPU-less 5on5 format = crew. You may disagree, but you'd be disagreeing with the format that is used in REAL basketball. * my hunch is that dudes are more upset there's no CPU not because of enough ppl on friends list, but because they won't have dat sweet CPU cheese to fall back on. Seen that all too often in 2k11 crew.

No, that's the most common why to play basketball, not a rule. Its a standard, but not really a rule/law/whatever.

And the argument was CPU, realism, and 5v5, CPU aren't humans, they emulate what they player they are taking control as based of tendencies and stuff, but they aren't as good with humans. Cause humans always do better with humans.

It's a rule from what I've read. Doesn't matter it's not a real simulation basketball or whatever you want to call it to me. 3v3 would be bad, that's why you should have the option to start up a game w/ any amount of players and have CPU fill ins. Someone quits or disconnects anyways and they'll become a CPU.
