When a sport considers a 75% failure rate to be acceptable, finding those rare moments of excitement either takes a deep appreciation of the game. The Bigs 2 combines all of these into a version of baseball that's more palatable to the unfortunate souls who are unable to appreciate a good pitcher's duel, double switches, or BABIP. So what do they have to show for two full seasons of development time? The offense is just as good as ever. As for the defense? Well, let us review…
A fan of The Bigs 2, Flynn from Leviathyn.com talks about how much he'd love to see the return of an arcade-style sports game in The Bigs 3.
Justin Lacey offers up some historical video game examples of how to improve the sport of baseball.
The only worthwhile addition to the game is "Become a Legend" where you take a slugger from obscurity to the Hall of Fame. This is great for a while, but after the 26th time your potential home run is caught by yet another 30ft diving catch you'll be left in controller-throwing frustration. It's then you realise The Bigs 2 is excellent against mates or for a blast online, but its arcade style means it's not best suited to longer game modes.
Not bad I guess.
