While hot dogs and hamburgers were being consumed to honor our troops a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to play The Bigs 2 in New York. I also got to check out the revamped career mode, the fresh season mode and the various multiplayer modes available in the game. The game will be released in July, but for now, here’s your chance to get your fill of The Bigs 2.

Good, informative preview. These are first real details I remember reading about both Season and Career modes. It's cool to see they'll have downloadable roster updates. The trade system sounds refreshing as well. No matter what, I've always been able to find a way around the trade AI, now it's nice to see that my skill and play have something to do with the moves I can make.

Looking forward to it.

One question- how many players from each team are included this year? Are we talking about full rosters or just superstars?

Did I read that correctly- are we getting live roster updates?

My guess is that there are probably around 20 players on each team. So your favorite team's utility guy probably won't be in the game.

I also don't think there will be live roster updates, but rather occasional updates like what sports games used to have. Since there is not a true minor league system, and the game's release is so close to the trade deadline, there probably won't really be a need for live roster updates.

Bench guys are definitely in the game. I'm not sure how many off the top of my head.

There were quite a few bench guys in the first one, so I'm guessing it will be the same or even better this time around in that regard.
