TBH there's no way anybody is gonna get me to believe this is a good move. Only the fact that some ppl 'can't find friends' or prefer to play 3v3 or 4v4 which is a poor excuse. IF they matchmake 5users against 5users cool. I'll probably stay away from this mode. But I guess it's fair to exclude guys who actually have 5 guys to run with vs include guys who don't have 5 to run with or because they just want to run with 2 CPUs while playing online user v user. That's like COD or BF allowing CPU BOTS in 32 v 32 when you don't have guys to play with or they don't matchmake into a game with enough humans on your team. It's like Destiny adding a CPU to your 6 man raid team lol. It makes no sense IMO. It defeats the purpose of online gaming today. It might have made sense in 2k11 but that was 6 years ago. But it is what it is. They have it so I'm not interested. Have fun tho I guess.

THIS! Exactly. Defeats the purpose of online HUMAN multiplayer. Defeats and taints the purpose of the Leaderboard that every Human will be trying to climb. This game sells like 6 million or something. Plenty of people will have full rosters. Why is 2K pandering to people who can't find TWO more people to complete a team smh. Play offline if you're incapable of picking up 4 guys to run with.

Like I said dog that was 6 years ago. They added a 3v3 MODE CALLED PARK. The rec is 5v5 for a reason. They want you to use USERS.

Same with PARK. Its 3v3 USERS. I get you could start the other 2k crew with only 2 guys but considering pretty much every game is online now, ppl expect it to be USER v USER.

But it is what it is man. Obviously you're a crew guy and I'm not knockin u bra. I just personally don't think I'm gonna enjoy this like I originally thought. Unless they matchmake you into whatever you have on your team.

And like I said, it was 6 years ago and that's what people wanted and 2K delivered lol. More people wanted this and why it's in because you're in the minority. It's also rec so you can play 5 on 5, right? Yay!!!

Some people have wife/kids/other outside responsibilities and don't spend a bunch of time playing online multiplayer games but 2k is still their favorite game and they want to play occasionally or with a friend or two.

Try not to be so narrow minded.

Well, you just said it. Plenty of people will have full rosters so it won't even be that big of a deal anyways. And for me personally, allowing people the ability to play is 100x more important than where someone is ranked on a leaderboard. I couldn't ever tell you where I was ranked on one of those things. Other than maybe my team's win/loss record, I really couldn't care less about stats/leaderboards. I just want to play.

Idk why people DON'T want to play against the cpu more often.

Hell if I get my sf or c in the paint against a cpu I'm backing them down every chance and scoring on em.

Only "inflated" stats will come from the OTHER TEAM'S computers tryna guard me.

I for one am glad they're bringing back the old style where you only need 3 to play...we're all older now, tryna get 4 other of my friends online at once when we're all out of school working jobs is kinda hard.

I met a couple cool dudes who fit in my offense nicely, so I actually probably got 5 whenever now but still...if I only got 3 or 4 on the team at once it's nice to know I can still play.

And contrary to popular belief I don't actually like talking to 15 year old kids all day tryna find some that are cool enough and mature enough to run with me and talk to me...hard to find older guys these days.

I love the X1 too much, man and most of my crew is here lol. And I am not sure, I am 50-50. I didn't do it for views last time, just because me and my crew loved watching old games and basically breaking down film. That's why the vids is always raw gameplay. You need to hop on X1 though. We got a spot for you.
