Just ugly as hell...people would be mad that they had the nerve to call them Air Jordans. I like Brown and Orange, looks cool, may not be appealing to you, but there will be a crowd who buys them cause of the name and also resell value, sneakerheads mentality, its gonna be hated now, but its gonna be loved later. (There are Jordan's where it was hated but now they are hot to hype beasts. When you have a name attached to something, you improve it..you don't take stuff away and call it the same thing. That's poor business no matter how you look at it. Understood. And none of this is about the gameplay, from what I seen the game looks great, and I'm sure it's amazing but Crew Mode was hyping me up the most and now I'm sorely disappointed and I'm hoping next-gen builds my excitement back up... because at this point I'm willing to sacrifice gameplay for crew, so if switching to Live has to happen me and a bunch of others on here would do that.

See this is where everyone is lost in translation and is where groups want to be dominant. This is the 2K atmosphere we have.

-"Sim Guys," the guys who want you to know basketball to win at this game
-"Causals," the guys who want to pick up and play
-"____-guy," the guys who want 2K to focus on ONE thing for modes (Crew, Association, Offline MC, etc.) Everyone wants a piece of what they want when in reality (for current gen,) its very difficult. There's near a lot of people for each category.

We have to remember what this game is, "NBA 2K" I'm not seeing this news as a shocker, a downer, yes, but I'm not shocked and I do understand the possibility of why everything can't be done. No one will ever be pleased, everyone fights with everyone, but a lot of people will buy the game for something.

and their audacity to call this travesty of a mode "crews" is just mind boggling. They straight up trolled us.

How will fouls be handled? With no free-throws, what's stopping a team from fouling every possession?

But they're taking the most sim game mode out of the game lol

What's more sim than taking a guy tailored to a specific role on the court with 4 others made for their specific roles? That's why crew was fun.
They're taking sim modes and making them arcade-y, there's nothing sim about playing 5 on 5 to 21 on a blacktop.

And I'm not even a guy who only wants crew, my team was actually really fun and I enjoy associations too.

It's just, all they had to do was copy/paste 2K10's crew and we'd all be happy.

I'm guessing nothing. Will just retake out the ball. Maybe 5v5 full court has FT's, but since its up to 21, I doubt it.

I don't believe its the most sim, if we go by that logic, the Online Team Up is up there for most sim. But the opponents would be the make/break for this "sim experience."

I've seen street games up to 21 actually play in a "sim" way, running plays, shot clock, assigned specific roles etc. But that's real life and same situation. 2K can do this too. 5v5 to 21 is stupid, but it can't be sim, well, it can, but it depends who you play.

As for the copy/paste thing, it would've been possible... If 2K didn't re-write the entire Internet Structure in 2K12.

*Has the possibility to be most sim.

If everyone plays real ball, like you said, it could be fun as hell.

But people see blacktop, and you get self alleys and ten 3 pointers from each player. You get people reaching in every possession.

It doesn't matter if it's on superstar sim settings, because you can still play like a cheeser regardless...and being to 21 promotes shooting threes because you win that much faster.

And yea they changed the way the online works but still. Take Teamup, add the ability to customize jerseys and courts, and put in your my player at the certain position and there you have 2K10's Crew. It may be extremely basic but I'll take the most barebones crew mode possible over this.

This just has so many "ifs"

As for the rewriting Team Up as Crew, I'm not a dev, but it would've been done if it was successful, I don't think its as simple as what we all interpret it as, since Blacktop already had the code for having myCareers connect somewhere, its probably a base.
