Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

How many inning games is everyone playing?

Also under the options you can turn off the power ups, just not legendary stuff, which is kinda good to have in there.

If anyones thinking of committing suicide and needs something to push themselves over the edge play the "contact" mini game, worse thing ever invented

Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

It's not that bad,just need some luck. I got it after 4 tries. The 3rd was awful,way too much red. I've only done that one and the power one so far.

Anyway overall it's intense,exciting,fun and addicting.

Oh the apple didn't come out when I tried the Mets. Might be a big blast thing,didn't hit one there. It lands in the train umm smoke stack thing in Houston,the hot tub in Arizona and hits the street car in SF.

Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

After playing awhile, I don't really think I get how the Big Slam works.

Example: If activated with 2 outs, and the first guy out of the 4 gets up, he gets 1 pitch, he misses, he isn't out, but just moves down the line to the 2, then 3rd, and 4th.

So everyone just gets one pitch, and the most outs recorded you can actually get are 1, just the last batter if he mises, even though the 1st through 3 batters can miss, but the inning technically keeps going, with the only out being recorded is the 4th guy?

Man that sounds confusing, I hope someone gets that..lol.

In my season I'm playing 5 innings cause you only have 3 relievers per team. Plus then I can finish alotta games quick.

In season mode, there are no stats categories for league leaders, is that correct? Just stats of your team?

Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

I still haven't played much of the game, I'm playing HR Pinball over and over and over and over again.

Can't hit that blimp in Vegas to save my life, I near missed it like 5 times now. I did hit Godzilla in Japan for the achievement though.

Japan is near impossible to get high scores on, I can't hit the bonus targets to save my life, and there's nothing to the left side really to hit at all. Vegas is the most fun, but the every now and then I can't see the ball due to the fountains.

That and they need a leaderboard sorted by friends list.

Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

Good stuff!!! Glad people pushed me into getting it.. You can set it to 9 innings (nice feature).. Played a buddy of mine last night -- players get hurt, catcher basically came out a decked my runner trying to score.. I like it for what it is..

Yeah, I wonder when they will update them.

Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

I like taking out the opposing pitcher when he's batting. Whole new stratgey in the NL.

The only big gameplay problem I have is pick-offs/trying to throw out stealers. It looks like you only get one attempt per inning! Hard to keep them close to the base with that. I was especially displeased when they went when I wasn't allowed to throw over. Seems like you need to use turbo to throw them out unless your catcher has a legendary arm.

Another small thing is not being able to turn the ball trail off. I like the rainbow thing on normal HRs and the firestreak on the big ones but on normal hits I don't like it.

Too bad rosters reset when entering season,I wanted to make the Indians from Major League and you don't really get enough points or are able to set things to legendary.

For those wanting an attempt at sim play with 2 crappy teams. I had great game with the Pirates and Nationals.

Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

Single player impressions from myself:

Honestly one of the biggest reasons I purchased this game was to play online against a friend. But, I am already in Season 2 of the single player in the Legend mode for the BIGS 2. I am quite surprised at how fresh the single player experience is in the baseball game. 2k just doesn’t make you play every team over and over, they add some interesting twists.

In Legendary mode you start out in a Mexican league after suffering a close to career ending injury. After you play a couple of games you are accepted back into “The Bigs” and get to select what professional team you want to play with. Throughout your experience you get to travel across the United States and play different baseball teams. Different games have different objectives, one game you might need to hit a home run with your player to advance, and in another game you might have to get a hit and steal a base to advance. It is definitely not the same experience every time, as you are not only expected to win every game, but you need to improve your player by doing something specific in the game. The last game of each series is actually really neat. If you win the game you get to steal a player and add them to your roster. (Only three stolen players are allowed to play with your team at one time)

Aside from playing the games there are also mini-games which can be interesting. One of the mini-games is an obstacle course that you need to run through to get better speed for your legend. They also have a hitting mini game and a catching mini-game that can really help with your catching in the game.

If all of that is not enough for you, you are in luck! Eventually you will unlock “Cooperstown” and you will be able to face some of the best players the MLB has ever seen. I have not tried this yet because I want to make my legend very good before I enter the ring with proven MLB stars.

Overall the single player experience is extremely fun, and like I explained there are a ton of things that make the single player experience feel fresh.

Re: The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

is hitting success solely determined by timing? i know you can aim direction using the left analog, but that seems to be direction of where you want the ball to go, not where you want to swing the bat.

1 pickoff per inning is fair because if you hit the meter at the right time its a guaranteed out
