Re: Anyone playing The Bigs 2?
Picked up The Bigs 2 for 360 on Sunday from Target (B1 get 1 1/2 off sale)
I fricking love this game!
I've played 2 games so far as the Dodgers, lost against the Yankees 10-6 even though Manny, Loney, Kemp and Ethier homered. Came back from a 10-0 deficit.
Played a 2nd game today against the Nationals and hung on for a 4-2 win.
If your looking for realistic sim baseball, look elsewhere. This is pure arcade action and the controls are very user-friendly which I enjoy tremendously. Basically the game is really fun like it's predecessor.
I've also been playing HR pinball, which is so addictive. Actually stayed up until 3:30am 2 nights in a row playing it.

Re: Anyone playing The Bigs 2?
I really like this game a lot! I think I am developing arthritis from playing it so much though trying to get those perfect pitches. Why is that 2K can make such a good arcade style baseball game yet their sim titles suck so bad?
I love the new legendary catches, except they can be kind of frustrating when you're batting! (Still haven't been able to get the one where you try to keep the ball on the wheel) I've been mostly playing the "Be a Legend" mode and am going into my 3rd season. Has anyone tried out the "Season" mode at all yet? Do you actually have to play all 162 games? How's that work?
I had it on a rental for 5 days and already had to return it, but after trying it out it definitely warrants a buy for me.

Yeah, this is a lot of fun, posted up my full review at my blog the other day. I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the season is the full thing - it just doesn't have the overhead that other sim games have. I'm been playing mostly be a legend as well.
