Over the years, 2K has been focused on MyCareer/Park and MyTeam, but a lot of gamers played All-Star Team-Up either by themselves or with a group of friends. We would usually play many games at night if we had the time. It is a very great change of pace from the grind of MyCareer or the frustration of Park or Pro-Am. With Team-Up, you can just match up with others and friends, with crazy combinations of players, including legends, making a thrilling experience. The most fun game mode hands down.

There is now a Play Now Online mode where you can play as a player, but you can't match up with your friends that way. There is also Private All-Star Team Up game, but those without many friends would be dealing with a lot of bots, which makes things less random and less fun.

2K seems as if they don't care about all star team up because it isn't a game mode they can make extra money off of, which can simply be fixed. MyTeam, Park/Pro-Am and MyCareer get updated every year while team up has been the same since forever. There are so many players they could add but they just neglected the game mode. It's frustrating for those with friends considering we play team up a lot. 

It especially frustrating to those who simply cannot make the time for MyCareer and MyPark. These game modes require progression, while All-Star Team Up was a quick way to play with friends, and play with people all over the world, creating new friends.

We don't see why they would take this game mode away when it has been a staple of so many people's 2K experiences for years. It's been our go-to game mode for playing together since 2K11. They really need to bring it back or they will be losing sales!

We do not support 2K until they bring this game mode back. If 2K removed it because of the "quitters", the obvious solution would be to penalize the quitters much harder (e.g. cannot join another game in 10 mins).

Other ways to improve All-Star Team Up (Public):
- Private lobbies: Let us set it up in a private lobby and pick through every team
- Use VC to purchase alternate jerseys, gear, or other customizations
- Include a ranking system
- Instead of East vs West, we can update to Team LeBron vs. Team Giannis 
- Add more classic players
- Court settings - have player voting for where to play
- Better substitutions (or get to choose your backup players)

We promise 2K, if you bring back public All-Star team up and possibly add new features in this game-mode, not only will it satisfy our 2K fix, but it will bring you a lot of revenue, possibly being on the front screen and not hiding in "Play Now". This game-mode is one of our favorites and has so much potential!

2K Gamers
