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.

Someone quits or disconnects anyways and they'll become a CPU. And I was joking lol, but seriously didn't read.

I wouldn't worry about justifying anything to these guys. MarvinOida just likes to be a contrarian and argue for the sake of arguing on here.

I can respect your opinion about wanting the pure human v. human competition but you have to understand that this new format they've rolled out is just not practical, or popular for the large majority of crew players. You are in the minority with your viewpoint. Crew mode didn't become "The single most requested mode" (2k's words) because people wanted the 3v3 halfcourt and 5v5 human only format. It was so popular and requested based on how it was structured in 2k10 and 2k11 with the Comp. players. So for every one person like you who is all for the new format, there are probably 1,000 who disagree and would rather keep the 2k10, 2k11 format that has 5v5 full court whether you have 2,3,4, or 5 players on a team.

With all due respect my friend, there is a MOUNTAIN of evidence on: this message board, on LD2K's facebook post about crews, on Twitter, and on Youtube that suggests your viewpoint puts you in the minority on this new format. Once again though man, I respect what you're saying, I think most of us posting in these crew threads love competition; and going up against other players. I have played literally hundreds of crew games in the past, and I know that for me, and all my friends that played together we loved the format how it was in 2k11. Thing is, it's just not practical how they have decided to do it. For example, in my crew we had 8 people. However, with everyone being involved with classes, working,time with gf's and all that it's rare you get 5 people all online consistently. Sure you can get 3 or 4 people on alot more often but who wants to play half court?

I'm just not seeing that having 5on5 would make the mode less popular. could be wrong

I'm just concerned with the accessibility to a full court game. If I'm online with 3 friends I think we should be able to play full court and just have a CPU for our 5th man. I'm all for human vs human competiton in crew but at the end of the day I don't care if the games I'm in are 2v2 with 3 comps on each team or if its 5 v 4 with 1 comp. etc. Hell, we've all played offline local games with friends where it's 2v2 on the same Xbox, ps3, and it's a blast. I view crew as being a lot like those kind of games, but even more fun and complex because everyone is using their own custom player tailored to their play style. Those 2v2 games are a lot of fun, and the way I see it the more the merrier; but we shouldn't be excluded from a real, full court experience if we don't have 5 humans.

Hey, NBA Street vol 2 is a great game. Great enough that members of NLSC made a 2013-14 Update.

Street doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as an equivalent to Crew.

Who cares? I lack the desire to play either.

I enjoyed blacktop, with all its cheese, because it was just 6 guys on the court squaring off. No cpu to get in my way. I think people will be surprised how addicting and fun this mode will be when you got 5 guys with high bball iq, who know how to play together and everyone's fighting for that #1 spot.

Im glad that your hyped. But to be honest,no one here really liked blacktop that much. Why would we enjoy this?

Here. Yes, no one here loves Blacktop, but every where else, a lot of people are going to play it as its the only way for them to play with friends with myCareer.

What do you think 2k is going to do to stop people from quitting games? My solution would be to punish them so severely that it might even turn them off the mode. What would I do? Simple. if they quit when your team is up by atleast 5, just 1 guy out of five, the whole team gets disqualified and gets 5 losses to their crew. And the person who caused it will either loose all their sp they had or if they didn't have any, go to -500, but thats not all. They should also be dropped 10 speed points. There might be some unfortunate casualties, but the I would gladly take that hit if it stops cheaters.

Also that is one of advantages that 3on3 has over other modes -- less players means more touches, more influence over the game, and less chance of quitting because you're involved in the game more. Also having my player instead of a randomized NBA player means you are getting the player you want, which is a reason many quit in teamup.

People always quit in random blacktop because usually they run into those pg sg combos who didn't have a third and get shut out of the offense unless they were lucky enough to get the Pg position. And 3v3 games still have the tendency not to be sim since say there is a close game (For example 17-17 19-19 you get my drift) then the thought process for most who are just trying to win goes straight to jack up 2's ftw.

sad but true brother

another online 3 on 3 game for a year (don't think 5 on 5 will work)

# 616 LoSoisNiCEx414 @ 09/16/13 09:40 AM

Ima just stick to gb team up matches this yr, even though we run in 3s. GB teamup is the closet thing to crew even without the Myplayers,lol save my vc this yr for MyTeam instead of building up a MyPlayer for online

Ouch, i could actually feel braincells dying while reading Mrleaderboards posts. I'm gonna go ahead and hope he's no older than 15. Basketball is a TEAM sport my friend, doing the little things is at least as important as putting the ball in the basket.

As a big man i have no problem playing defense, getting rebounds, setting screens and only scoring on putbacks and the occasional open mid range jumper. You call it dumb, i call it basketball.

It goes for any position really. Play defense, rebound and pass until there's an open shot, it's that simple.

Btw only a knucklehead cares about your standings, like the other guy said all those top crews were hackers, cheesers and simply people who played thousands of games. Whenever i played one of those top crews all they did was hopstep dunk, spin dunk, eurostep, corner three, draw charges, and so on... It was basically just boring, pathetic and annoying. I was invited on some top 10 crews too, but i left them after 5-10 games because i didn't want any part of it. The ridiculous amounts of cheese i witnessed there made me sick.

Hi there, Albino Kemp, Don't believe we've met. *Extends a hand*.

Granted, I'm the minority here and I know it. But you sound like me with the sweeping generalization(That's gimmick infringement, brother. Next thing you know you'll start talking like Hulk Hogan in every post and steal my Freestyle Online Street Basketball forum gimmick from back in the day. LOL).

Seriously though, I bet there's a lot more blacktop guys on here than you think, they just don't post because almost all the threads revolve around sim play. There's nothing wrong with that, either, I'm just pointing out the obvious. I believe my old blacktop thread from a few months back hit about 5 pages. That's enough to show you that there are people around here who enjoy it a little bit.

Playful chiding aside, I'm hype for this just because my typical 3-man crew(We actually have a group of about 10 that are randomly online, but the core is me and 2 other guys who are always one) have no way to track our wins/losses as a group. We have no real way to track our stats either, and that upsets me. I'd really like to know how many points I average a game, as well as rebounds(Being a big man, that's my $$$$ stat that I care about more than scoring). I'm sure we'll do 5v5, but at least I know that if we stick to 3 on 3 we can still compete for those leaderboard rankings, because I can easily speak for the homies when I say we all want to know where we actually stand in terms of skill and teamwork.

totally respect that but let me ask you a question

You and your boys who you usually run blacktop with, would you rather play a half court game of 3v3 to 21 or pick up 2 CPU and run a 5v5 full court 4 quarter game (in an arena) like you see in the Nba , the league this game is made based on ?
