The Bigs 2 Impressions Thread

Guys, I have a question.

When playing against a friend on the same console, can you turn off strike zones and pitch cursors unlike MLB2K9? Or are you stuck with 'locking in' your location and trying to fake out your opponent by dancing the cursor all around the strike zone?

I'll probably give it a rent in preparation of a friend's visit. Thought I'd ask first.

Thanks!

didnt check strike zones but the pitching cursor does go fade away like games before 2k9 unless batter has activated turbo.

Great. Thanks for the response. I'll give it a rent this weekend.

Just got this game on Ps3 and I have to say it is very good. I think the game balances well. I love The Show but wanted something a little different and this is it. IMO - well worth the purchase (did not have the Bigs 1).

What's online like? Everyone just picks the Red Sox and throws nothing but gyro/knuckleballs?

Are there options for different season lengths other than 162 games? (ie. 10 games, 20, 50, 82, etc.)

I picked it up for the PS3 today.

Has anyone been having online issues with the 360 version? I've tried 3 games online, and two have ended with a game freeze/ XBox live disconnected message. Right after, I played Tiger Woods online with no problems at all for about an hour or more. I can't figure out if it's a game problem with The Bigs 2 or just my internet connection somehow. Beyond that, I love the game, although as an earlier poster said, the contact mini-game was enough to make me want to hurt people. I finally passed it though.
