While this seems logical in this world of puzzles, it isn't the only sensible translation the community has offered. There are other translations similar to the Dream's that say the "5" is meant to represent five-on-five play. One user named The Dream from gave this take on the hashtag and how it will eventually be revealed as the return of Crew:ģ: 3rd letter of the English alphabet is C Some gamers have channeled their inner Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage's character in National Treasure for the less nerdy) in an attempt to decode the #3R335 hashtag. Many are speculating that the hashtag is referring to the return of Crew Mode. Singh tweeted this last year prior to the release of NBA 2K13: To 2K's credit, it recognized this issue and shelved it for repair until it could present it properly. The mode was scrapped after NBA 2K11 because of poor functionality and server issues. Here's an example of a Crew game from popular YouTube personality, NBA 2K fanatic and member of the NBA 2K14 Community Team Up program, IPodKingCarter: For gamers who love online play, this was huge. If you're still a little cloudy, it was almost the basketball equivalent of some of the team-based online games in first-person shooters like Call of Duty. In a five-on-five game, players could assemble their created players and battle five other users with created players.
In NBA 2K11, this mode was wildly popular as it allowed up to 10 players to play online together. Perhaps the most-requested aspect from the NBA 2K community is the return of Crew. Like most other hardcore fans of the series, I'll be waiting patiently for the masters of social media marketing to give us the goods.
Why would Singh be in front of a green screen? What does that have to do with the new mode?Īt this point, the day the mystery will be revealed isn't even known. Singh and Social Media Manager Chris Manning have only added intrigue to the situation with the tweet and Instagram images below. This time, the community may have more of an inkling, but only a select few in the 2K team and those invited to the NBA 2K team-up event know for sure.
