The Bigs 2 Review

This is a great game. Once you get the hang of it, it's hours of fun. Perfect balance of arcade and simulation. A great game to play with friends or online. The mini games add another element of fun. I think that this is a game that is what it is advertised to be.

Not a lot of change since the last game, but there wasn't to much more you can do to top the last one and what was lacking was added. I mean there's New & improved story mode, picking up at the end of the "Rookie Challenge" mode from The Bigs. Where you Create a player and progress your career from a Mexican league to the Majors and, eventually, the Hall of Fame. Along the way, compete in boss battles against MLB legends.

I also like the batters wheel house which show you the batters sweets spot.

This game is not too easy and not too hard if you play it long enough you appreciate it. Don't think the first time you pick it up you're going to be a pro... lol takes a few times on the sticks to get good, but once you got you got it.

And you'll soon learn that strategy is key to winning in the BIGS!!!

Viewlarger. The Wheelhouse
One of the new features of The Bigs 2 is the 'Wheelhouse,' an areain every batter's swing where their offensive threat is at its greatest.Color-coated and pulsating for both the batter and pitcher to see, ballsstruck well within this area are most likely to result in a hit, but thereare no guarantees. Although it is a dangerous place for pitchers to throw,the Wheelhouse is also a tempting spot for pitchers to challenge hitterssince not only do strikes result in the shrinking of a player's wheelhouse,but strikes and strikeouts centered there will earn the defensive team turbopoints that can be used elsewhere in the game.

Legendary Rated Players
The Bigs 2 features a special Legendary Rating system for playersas they develop. On defense a high rating means a player will be ableto get to balls other players can't, which will make them very valuableagainst high-powered offensive team. In addition, players with high statusare capable of spectacular plays, like jumping into the stands to roba batter of a home-run, pulling down come-backers off the bat of opponents,etc. When these plays are made players will gain access to play specificmini-games as a reward, that are designed to be fun and further hone theirskills in these specific areas. Along with the two mentioned above, playerscan also expect to see mini-games available to legendary rated playerssuch as handling line drives up the middle, diving plays in both the infieldand outfield and foul balls pulled from the hands of fans.
Legendary status is not limited to defensive fielding positions though. Pitchers can possess a legendary skill rating that allows them the possibility ofdomination on the mound. Batter's legendary ranking can also be utilized both by the power and skill they bring as they step up to the plate, as well as in some cases an ability to increase the potency of their teammates skill in the batters box. An example of this is an enlarged wheelhouse for the batter that follows a player with a high legendary ranking or even the entire lineup. In these cases the value and strategy of having legendary players available for insertion into the roster is obvious.

The Big Slam
Similar to functionality in the first game in the series that allowed players who had accumulated enough turbo points a strikeout or home run when theywanted/needed it, The Bigs 2 brings the 'Big Slam' to the field. In this case offensive players who have enough turbo points can opt to take on a series of pitches in an attempt at a simplified grand slam. The rub is that there are only four pitches involved one for each batter in the series. All it takes to get your man on base is to make contact. Once the bases are full a grand slam is automatic.
