I'd like to see an expanded career, something like The Show, but also an apartment to buy stuff for and more customization for your character

Funny cut-scenes.

A HR smashing into a car window in the parking lot, a fan fall down a few stairs trying to catch a foul ball,etc.

This is definitely my favorite game for xbox360. The features I would really like to see added are a season mode or something like a career mode. Also I think the most important thing would be to add an online setup similar to nba2k8. The most important being a lobby and rating system for players. I wish I had gotten this game when it first came out and a lot of people were still playing it. A lot of people still play it, looking at the number of people on the HR pinball leader board but trying to find a game with someone is usually unsuccessful. If you could at least see who else was online looking for a game it would be less frustrating. I think nba2k8's online setup is the best I've seen for any type of sports game and would have made the Bigs second to none. Also from reading other forums people would like to have different venues of the HR pinball aside from NY, maybe Vegas or other cities. Also to have consistent roster updates would be awesome. I can speak for myself and many other friends and people I've met online when saying I hope and can not wait for a second Bigs games to come out. I just hope they take the time and make the correct changes to the game. Focus more on the game and online play and less on the soundtrack!!

the player ratings should be greatly expanded reduce the amount of players that are virtually identical to each other. homeruns should be harder to rob at the higher difficulties. the pitching mechanism should be made more dynamic and pitchers should be different enough from one another in their deliveries, to change how hitters have to react to any given fastball or curveball. developing your rookie should be less tedious and more, deep, mini-games should be added.

Any more ideas or suggestions? I will be compiling the list and sending it off to Ronnie next week, so make your posts now.

So what is the situation with The Bigs? Are they making another one, is it on hold for some reason? I would like to see an expanded season or career mode. Also gameplay wise alot more hit variety and improve the fielding mechanic. Graphics wise it looked pretty good but I would make it more vibrant in the color department. Also include a ton of new animations. There didn't seem to be that many animations in the first game which made it somewhat stale at times. I also would think this would be the better game to include a card system to unlock players, accessories, and stadiums. Maybe you could include all-time greats. Make a team edit/create option and incorporate it like the classic Baseball Stars did. When you win games you make money to improve your players, stadiums, and add accessories.

hi - i love The Bigs on PS3 - awesome graphics and gameplay - just plain FUN to play - for the next release i would like to see a full season mlb schedule to be able to play and the ability to draft teams from all players - you pick 1st, the computer picks the rest of the teams in AL and NL , then back to you and so on - High Heat (if some can remember that old 3DO franchise) had a great draft ability - can't wait for the next release!!!

Amazin86er, all that I know is that it is in development, which is why this thread exists. Next week, I will compile the list into something nice and tidy and send it off to Ronnie, and he will forward it to the Project Manager of the dev team. These lists are being sent to their respective dev teams and are being looked at, so these efforts are not wasted. But also know that it doesn't mean that every suggestion will be put into a game, as there is only so much time.

Thanks for the contributions so far. :thumbsup:

Good stuff, b-Dub! But that sounds like it won't come out as early as June? Seems like they're going to release it at the end of the 2008 season so they can get some more MLB 2K8 sales in. Here are my requests:


- improved fielding mechanics (chasing after weak grounders was kinda frustrating)
- more variety & animations on pitching outcomes and home runs to a certain part of the stadium
- more home run pinball locations (south beach, vegas strip, london, paris, berlin, rome, etc.)
- enhanced rookie mode with minor league system, teams & stadiums
- career mode which resembles the mlb scheduling
- CHARGING THE MOUND
- create a stadium/team

Thanks for the posts. I will be closing this thread so that I can compile the list and get it ready to send off. I will reopen it later for anyone that wants to add to it.
