Unlike other sports games, I didn't have to monkey around with rosters or worry about draft days, or how much I'd charge for the average seat in the upper deck. It was pure.

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.
