During the 2K Sports NBA 2K15 livestream, the team announced Crew Mode is returning for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 only.

Here is a list of details from LD2K via the livestream:

Crew mode will feature 5 vs. 5 matches.
Full NBA rules on a hardwood floor, which will include the home team’s logo.
Custom jerseys will make a return.
You will be able to start 5 vs. 5 hardwood matches with 3, 4 or 5 players.
3 vs. 3 halfcourt blacktop matches are available or you can select NBA Rules for 5 vs. 5.
If you have 3, your game will auto fill the missing positions with players from the team you chose.
You will be able to select which each player’s position is. For exammple: If you are a SG, you can select it and the AI will fill in the missing positions you don’t take.
The fill players are NBA players from the team you selected when creating the Crew.
When creating your Crew, you can select an NBA team, as well as team playbook.
Leaderboards are in.

Look for more news on features for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this week, including the NBA 2K15 trailer, which will be revealed by Kevin Durant.

You got it even better, you get your mode back without even having to buy a new system. They also clearly say they'll be talking about the next gen news later this week but dudes are so pissed about this stream that don't even matter. Amazing. There is literally no announcement that they'll ever make for this game that people won't be pissed about. It's clearer than ever now that that's just a fact of life now.

To be fair, if my favorite NBA-related mode was removed from 2K (say, classic teams) and I learned they finally brought them back... but on XBox360 only, I'd probably still be pretty bummed out. It'd work for now (since I still have just a 360) but it seems the 360's time is running out, so I'd want my mode back on next gen too. And if I'm a guy who's already made the crossover to next gen (as I imagine many, many of these Crew fans have), that'd be even worse.

They hinted at the mode being in next gen as well though and that they'd get into the details of it later. I'd at least wait until I heard those details before having aneurysm.

It's still the beginning of August and it's the first announcement, the juicy stuff comes in the middle-end of the month.

As much as I hate the slow but steady announcement schedule, I get what they're trying to do.

Agree with you about both him hinting and everyone waiting. I looked through LDs twitter shortly after the stream and he responded to someone basically saying wait a few days and the next gen crew fans will be pleased. Everyones just gotta be patient it will come

Word. I did not view the stream, so I apologize for jumping the gun in that regard. I've kind of been operating only off of what I've seen in this thread.

I've never played Crew mode, and unfortunately I don't have any friends to play it with anyways, but really? Only on the Xbox 360 and PS3?

2K14 was a completely different game on the next-gen consoles than they were on last-gen, and for the better - the graphics were awesome and there were more game modes and features. But now they're backtracking and putting the emphasis on last-gen? That makes almost no sense.

They better have some really good news about the next-gen versions soon... I've had enough of 2K14 as it is with all the server issues and the lag. It's infuriating. I don't want 2K15 to be blatantly inferior to its predecessor...

The fact that there was news how they got NBA players to record stuff leads me to believe the scripted career is here to stay.

With the current state of MyCareer and without a solid MyGM/Association mode not much of a reason to purchase the game for me.

# 132 HowDareI @ 08/05/14 09:03 PM

The real reason people who want Crew on next gen are annoyed with 2K is because all they had to do is say it's on next gen too...but they didn't. They didn't say it's not, but they didn't say it is.

So people are going to assume it's not.

I think it will be, in one way or another, but all they really had to do was not be so vague.

Meanwhile, we lose our beloved Paul George.

What a f***ed up world we live in. Smh.

# 134 Panicshade @ 08/05/14 09:06 PM

I only caught the tail end of the stream but didn't they say something like "we know the kinds of things people like in the crew...5 on 5...non-blacktop...etc" for PS4 and XB1?

I just expect a more fleshed out "The Park" mode then. It seems like they want to basically have the PS3/360 version be different than PS4/XB1 (last year the LeBron James mode wasn't on next gen...this year it seems like the Crew mode is what will keep them different)

That's the easy part
VC to change default logo
VC to improve jersey (add trimming, change collar, colors,etc.)
VC to improve court(add logo and change court color)
VC to pick default team, 20,000VC to use a team like 96 Bulls and then the current Sixers are free.
1500 VC to add a member to your crew

They probably worried about hackers and those who farm with MyGM.

# 138 Steve_OS @ 08/05/14 09:36 PM

I already knew what the reception of the Crew mode would be here at OS before I started reading the comments.

Just let the Crew mode guys enjoy this, they didn't get to enjoy what the PS4/X1 users experienced last year and they felt ignored and left out.

With that said, I know what the readers want. We will have something for you guys later this week.

Until then, relax. The 2K hype train has just begun. They aren't going to reveal everything all at once, no company does. You guys should know better by now, haha.

Carry on.

I may be totally off base here but why is gaming like this. It seems like the only industry that seems to be so secretive about information until 1 month before release. To me it feels like being a grown man waiting for Christmas and for some reason that irritates me. I'm a grown man buying a product and truthfully It would be nice feeling like I'm a real customer instead of a toddler waiting to be spoon fed...And every now and then I get a little bit of sugar to keep me satisfied.

I admit I'm probably getting too deep in this thought but sports games specifically seem like they get so little coverage that NO news is ever available unless its from the dev directly but sports games seem to be the most stingy with the information. I apologize for the random mini-rant but this thought sort of overtook my original intended post. I can tell you so much more about games coming out 2-3 years from now but a sports game that comes out in a few weeks (Madden) and a month or 2 (2K) I come up empty.
