2K Sports: The Bigs

Does anyone else have this game? I've had it for a week now, and still haven't been able to get an online game in. I see people are on the leaderboard, but whenever I search for a matchup I don't see any opponents. This blows.

I tried Co-Op over at a friend's house a few weeks ago. Very interesting game. Really makes you panic when the CPU's meter reaches the max. The funny thing though, is that while we were taking his Rookie through the challenges, we actually got the CPU to strike out with a maxed out meter, it was great.

That's what you get for buying a 2K Sports game

Seriously, is that game any fun? From what I've heard, it's real arcade-ish. Doesn't seem like it would be fun for an MVP 05 guy like me.

I have to buy a 2k sports game because your douche company wouldn;t pony up the money to beat them out, LOL. Anyway, I got it off of Gamefly, then kept it because it was surprisingly entertaining, even though I HATED Midway's slugfest. It is very arcadish, and some of the outlandish plays get tiring, but it still is pretty fun. Here are two differing opinions:

Now, I would have a lot more fun if I can get some damn online games going.

MLB The Show blows the 2k offering out of the water this year.

I wish it wasn't PS exclusive. I'd try it on my PS2, but, it just wouldn't be as shiny.

Oh yeah I knew that, was just commenting on the simulation type games in general. The Bigs looks like it could be fun. Not sure if I would buy it myself, just because I have little time to play the games I do have but I would love to try it if a friend had it.

Yeah that is true. I have it for the PS3 and while it doesn't look as good as the 2k offering, it blows it away in terms of gameplay. It is the best baseball game, in my mind since the MVP franchise folded.

I see this is offered in a Wii version...anyone out there tried it? I bought the Wii for my kid but I'm holding it out for Xmas, so I can acquire extra controllers, a couple of games, etc.

Yeah, you're about 5 years behind Romy on that one, nice job.

I picked this up last night for the Wii. So far, it's f*cking hard. Getting the timing down to hit the ball is damn near impossible at times. THe pitching interface is tough as well. Honestly, after playing Madden '08 and now this, I've determined that the Wii is not made for sports games. Other than Golf and bowling, that is.

Really? I heard that last year's madden was great on the wii. From an outsider's perspective I would seem to agree with you though. The motion stuff must be hard with some of sports games.
