The BIGS 2 Online Co-Op
by 
While only some of the features have been revealed for The BIGS 2 there is now confirmation that it will include online play for up to four players. There are no details on how that will be structured as of yet.
The BIGS was one of the first games to introduce online co-op. It didn’t actually work in the way 2K advertised which was two users vs two users. Instead though what it ended up being was two users going up against the CPU which was still surprisingly fun and fresh.
Who the two users controlled alternated each inning. In one inning it would be the pitcher and in the next it would be the first fielder after the ball was put into play. Offensively it alternated from batter to batter, with the other user controlling the lead baserunner if one was on.
It worked really well but would’ve been better if it had allowed for playing two other users like they had stated it would. So hopefully that is what the “online with up to four players” will mean this time. Four different users connecting into the game and going two on two.

I have been dying for this feature to be put into a sports game. If this actually goes through then I am definitely buying this game.

i cannot wait for this game however co-op play is not something i enjoy in a baseball game. I'm glad they are doing it for the other gamers though, it's just not a feature i will be using……

Surprisingly, 2K looks like they'll get this game right. Hopefully, if anything, they can learn and put together a good sim style game one of these days. I personally think it's kind of sad when this game so far exceeds 2K9.

yea, like someone else said on another post…. they need to take the graphics, looks, presentation, etc. from The Bigs series and incorporate it into the 2K sim series. the only thing they would change of course is the power ups, players jumping like kobe, etc. and you got yourself a nice sim game.

It used to be that posts gave you points and people clicking the thumbs up button gave you points, but now I've noticed that they aren't changing at all so I'm not sure whats going on.

I thought MVP NCAA 06 was the first baseball game to have the co-op online experience. Damn that game was fun

Yeah, I agree. I loved the college baseball experience. Since the college game can be a bit arcady at times, it lends itself well to the video game experience. You can also realistically play an entire season since the season isn't 162 games long. Plus the College World Series is the bomb! Wish there were more fans of the game so they would continue the series on the next gen consoles. I really miss it.

although MVP Baseball 2005 was the bomb, i must say….
