SchneideR Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just played the demo of this game on PS3 and i must say its the most fun i ever had with a baseball game. And surprise surprise its published by 2k sports... PS: If you're expecting simulation style gameplay then look away as this game is purely for the arcade game lovers with power ups and mini games galore... One question I have is why aint the usual game purchase sites like the shopto, game.co.uk, amazon.co.uk and the hut have the PS3 version in display? There is no mention of the PS3 variants in any of these sites but the game has been officially released for the PS3 platform and also has a demo on the PSN. Edit: Just found out. This game is available in all the US sites not the UK ones... Damn!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 loved the original "The Bigs" (still have it). played the demo of The Bigs 2, its nice but they haven't changed it much...will probably get it after a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchneideR Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I am really hoping to get a PS3 version but can't find it in the UK game sites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The Bigs is win. Downloaded the demo of Bigs 2 and I'm defeinitely picking this up when it hits the bargain bins. The most fun since baseball on the NES Home Run Pinball on the Vegas strip FTW! peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps4geek Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yeah its an awesome game. I also want to get my hands on mlb the show 09. This is the best visual baseball game and a real simulator. Bigs 2 is more arcadey but a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 good to see people on GI interested in this. Ive put this on the backburner only because of the impending release of Ashes 2009. Hope enough people buy this later on so that we can have a multiplayer tourney or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karooo Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 What's the difference between mlb09the show and this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 This is Arcade. Fielders jump 100 feet in the air and take catches. You get powerups to hit homeruns and fast balls that cannot be stopped, etc. Its simpler to pick up. And they have minigames like Homerun Pin Ball, where they put you in strange locations like the Las Vegas strip and you just have to hit every building/monument/ad hoarding/car in sight I'll pass on The Show, even though by all accounts its a very good game (if Aaron Greenberg says so it much be true ). I can't be bothered to get into the technicalities of a baseball sim. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps4geek Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 bigs 2 is over the top baseball (stunts and suff) while THE SHOW is a real life baseball simulator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchneideR Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 http://2ksports.com/media/images/screens/T...2---Hunter1.jpg You don't wanna misjudge that catch peace Hehehe. The same thing was running through my mind when i posted this pic in the OP. What's the difference between mlb09the show and this? I was expecting someone to ask this question... The Bigs 2 is like a crazy weekend trip to Las Vegas whereas MLB The Show is like returning back to the seriousness of your day to day activities.
