06:07 PM - September 13, 2013 by Deck

2K Sports has confirmed the details for NBA 2K14 "CREWS" mode. Unfortunately, it's not all good news for CREW fans.

Quote:


	Your gameday attire will be reflected on your MyPLAYER during matches. Games can be either 3v3 on half-court, or 5v5 on full-court. These will be played on a blacktop court to reflect the pick-up game style of basketball. The games will be to 21.

2k14 CREW MODE IRL. The perfect setting for created players since NBA players can no longer be used in the mode

I think you all have to think of the bigger picture here.
The my player mode was most likely created for this very purpose. Crew Mode has potential to become a self sustained league with only created players.
think long range. think of eventually this branching out a league that Incorporates seasonal drafts of created players etc.
I have no issue with this potential direction.
The created players that turn into the elite players in said league are those that put in the time and work to build their skills.
add in franchise mode with contracts and other teams bidding for top talent. I see alot of potential in this.
think of this as the first year of new basketball league. it will have growing pains

So what you're telling me is Crew is going to branch out to a entire league where we all start off as Created MyCareer players, playing in some crews, and compete in a "NBA-like atmosphere" to be champs.

Like a Road to NBA, where we all start off Street crews but progressing online to be a NBA champion in a "Crew League?" (Drew League....)

Sounds to me like there is a clock in this clip. "X minutes to go in 1st qtr." If we are playing to 21, probably no qtrs, and definitely no game winning shots.

except for current gen isn't gonna do that so as far as ps3/xbox goes, "crews" is as far as it'll go. what i'm hoping is something close to your idea is gonna happen with next gen THIS year.

Disappointed.

# 147 knick9 @ 09/15/13 12:34 AM

To 21?!?!? LOL Wow. A Lebron mode I have no interest in playing, a crew mode I'm not interested in playing, all they need to do is announce that MyTeam won't be on next-gen game and I can cancel my pre-order.

# 148 CK_ColdGame @ 09/15/13 01:55 AM

Has it been mentioned if there will be positions in the 5v5? Becausein blacktop, you could have a center as your check man (inbounder)

You guys are ungrateful. Seriously, 2k has given a game mode back that people were crying about. Then they put it back into this years curent-gen again, 3 years later and put it on blacktop mode and your still upset. I mean it should be on blacktop mode strictly not an areana, thats what team-up is for. Im glad it wont be a bunch of 99 overalls running around shooting three's in the areana like NBA JAM or NBA Street..

your ignorance baffles me. its not like 2k is handing out 2k14 for free. we as customers have a right to be upset about not getting what we want. Where is the rule that says teamup has to be in blacktop court ? I'll wait

I am not being ignorant at all. The idea of crew mode isn't a simulation type of mode to begin with. Therefore I think it's a great idea they left it in blacktop mode. C'mon it's just going to to turn into a 99ovr fest anyway. You can complain call me ignorant whatever, I DONT GIVE A CRAP, but the level of ungratfullness is just beyond foolish.

Yeah I know, that really need to be addressed. The PG vs C matchup happenend way to often. One of my friends online I play with often has a 7'5 Center and he just dominates because he's matched up with SG and PGs most of the time lol. It's so funnny.

On the bright side, Is that a new hairstyle I see in the picture for CAP? Has 2k finally added new heairstyles?

# 155 knick9 @ 09/15/13 12:12 PM

Here's the thing (for me): you're going to have 10 incredible players in a 5v5 game, how much can you really exhibit the talent of your MyPlayer in a game to 21? A few threes by one teammate, a few threes by another teammate, a few dunks by another, that's game. Wow, that was fun.

I agree and you can see their thought pattern on the default setting as Superstar Sim. If you don't put the game on sim settings and if defense is a non-factor no one is going to play Crews just to get in short games where people are jacking up three's all day to end games quickly.

If it's balanced it could be extremely fun, but it would have to be even more balanced than 2k11 was. It might even need to be skewed heavily towards defense in order to work. Meaning it will need to be hard to get open uncontested looks.

Lol ok two things

If you don't care , why are you here. You don't see me in the association threads telling those dudes their complaints don't matter

So you're saying I should be grateful for 2k allowing me to pay 65 dollars for something I don't want and something that was better 4 years ago?

You must not have played the real crew mode or blacktop in 2k13. 2k11 crew was never a three fest because even with green releases you'd still miss wide open threes in particular. Blacktop in 2k13 was the 99 overall drifting three cheese fest.

If you didnt play good defense. If my hands were up they had less of a chance to make it. Maybe i was the lucky one to have that. And superstar sim is much different from blacktop, so theres a chance these games are longer than blacktops causal settings.

After being mad as hell for like 30 minutes after seeing these changes, I'm like F it...this was never the reason I got NBA2k games. Of course it would have been amazing to have a working Crew mode from 2k11 but I'm not sweating it, I see myself playing this mode a lot regardless.

I'm optimistic it'll be right on next gen, either way 2k gameplay has always been fun so 1 mode is not going to deter me from getting the game like some of these other guys (smh). Voice opinions but don't sht on the game because of 1 mode, come on where were you before it?.
