Today 2K Sports shed some light on a few features of The Bigs, the over-the-top baseball game due this summer. The title blends outrageous visuals with pick-up-and-play mechanics to offer a unique sports experience.

"With The Bigs, we want to take the baseball genre to new heights and redefine what a baseball video game can be," said Greg Thomas, President of developer Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. "The Bigs has the fast learning curve of an arcade game coupled with deep play mechanics, amazing visuals, and hero-like presentation of real Major League Baseball players that will keep gamers coming back for more. The Bigs will showcase dramatic highlight reel moments at every at-bat, creating a truly epic baseball title."

Each MLB player in The Bigs has been individualized with great attention to facial details and physical characteristics so fans will be able to recognize their favorite players. Stadium landmarks have been stylized to highlight each park's unique architecture and to fit the overall theme of the game. The glove at San Francisco's AT&T Park, for instance, has been resized to mammoth proportions and the left field wall in Boston's Fenway Park has been turned into a real "Green Monster."

Baseball fans will be called up to the big leagues this summer.
