NBA 2K14 Is Bringing Back The Crew Mode

On another note, guys, if you're going to do on-camera interviews, make sure your caps have pre-approved logos only. Cannot stress this enough.

So in other words if you don't have anyone to play NBA 2K14 with, it'll continue to suck? Because I remember the crew mode with 7'6" PG's that don't pass the ball.

Okay I chuckled when I read that.

Anything but the My Player mode, I'm simply not interested. This game will be referred to as My Player 2K14 in my household.

@veovisjohn: Whether I get this game or not depends on if they've finally allowed sliders in MyCareer.

As someone who had never played a 2K NBA game before 2K13, they should maybe get someone to redesign their menus, cause holy fuck are they confusing.

Right Stick opens the real game mode menu. Menu-ception!

I'm upset that they didn't get Chris Smoove for this.

COMPLETELY agreed, I'm not a BIG basketball fan, but I'm sort of getting into it, and I play quite a bit of 2K13 but only My Player mode, have no interest whatsoever in anything else.

@ruthloose: As a person that started playing the 2k series at 2k11, believe me when I say that the menus used to be be better. 2k13 was a fun game, but just like the defense in the game, the menus were completely busted. Jay Z's influence did more harm than good.

Did anyone catch the text "Crew Mode Current Gen Only" at the end?

i totally agree. i really loved the jordan moments from 2k11 and the same thing in 2k12 and wish they'd bring that back, with that being said the only thing i look forward to in nba 2k is myplayer!

@hustlerlt: i'm sure that's how it would be with people you know too. crew mode is dumb. they just need to fix team up. seems like everyone quits immediately every time i've tried it. i don't understand it.

I had never played a 2K basketball game until 13 so I'm not sure what these men are talking about. I just want better menus, nerfed 3-point shooting, and possibly even more Jay-Z somehow.

in-game sliders or switching from default to simulation sliders will do that, although I feel simulation sliders nerf them a bit too much, where good 3pt shooters will miss wide-open 3 point shots on a regular basis.

I'd rather play Crue mode... with Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx swishing and dishing.

Do people actually play basketball video games? I don't think I've done that since they were in arcades, twenty years ago.

NBA 2k13 was the 6th highest selling game in the US in 2012. Despite all the fanfare, sports sims account for 40% or more of the AAA games market.

I only just got this after not playing a basketball video game for over a decade. Nothing like the old nba jam / hangtime arcades. Way more depth than your average shooter... or most shooters. Kinda blown away to be honest.
