The BIGS 2 cover athlete Prince Fielder has great balls of fire.

Do you miss the clear, the cream and players sneaking off to inject each other in the ass? The MLB's loosie-goosie steroids era may be over, but fortunately The BIGS 2, which drops this July, has all the juice needed to pump-pump-pump you up. The second installment in 2K Sports' arcade-style franchise continues to embrace the superhuman brand of baseball that we all enjoyed before Jose Canseco had to go and snitch on everybody. Like Mark McGwire's neck or Barry Bonds's melon, the high-jumping, home-run hitting action is back and bigger than humanly possible.

Complex recently caught a demo of the game at Citi Field, the New York Mets' new stadium, where 2K has a gaming center and mini wiffleball field set up in the center field concourse. To read more about The BIGS 2 game features and check out the latest trailer, see below...

THE BIGS 2 GAME FEATURES:
• In the new and improved "Become A Legend" story mode, you pick up at the end of the "Rookie Challenge" mode from The BIGS and create a player who has to work his way up from a Mexican league to the majors and, eventually, into the Hall of Fame, with boss battles against MLB legends all along the way. Our advice—just watch out for the pork tacos in Mexico.

• Using "Legendary Moves," the "Batter's Wheelhouse" and a more powerful "Big Slam," you can flex your neck veins and make the vein in your opponent's forehead pop.

• In Home Run Pinball, you can use your long balls to bash the hell out of street environments like the old or new Times Square and rack up points. In Tokyo, there's even a monster that will come to life if you hit it, word to Matsui's porn collection.

• There's nothing messing with the new mini-games, which include a race along the roof of Wrigley Field. Seriously, you have to have a major VIP pass to do some shit like this in real life. Or a BAC above .20.
