"The BIGS 2 is an upcoming baseball sports video game being developed by Blue Castle Games and published by 2K Sports for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Wii and PSP. The game performs as the direct sequel to The BIGS. On March 3, 2009, the first trailer for the game was released revealing that players like Ozzie Smith, Wade Boggs, Roberto Clemente, and Reggie Jackson and a number of other Hall of Famers would be playable in the game. On April 7, 2009, the Milwaukee Brewers All-Star first baseman Prince Fielder was announced as the cover athlete chosen by 2K Sports and at the same time, the release date was announced for July 7, 2009."
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.
