With the World Series behind us, are you looking to continue your baseball high even as the snow begins to fall? One approach is simulation minded - with MLB 09 for the PS3 being your best option. If you're looking for an over-the-top baseball arcade of fun, The Bigs2 might be just what you need to carry you through to Spring Training.
Mini games may not teach you much about managing your team, but they are fun and fast for a quick pickup. Likewise, the home run pinball mode breaths new life into the traditional, somewhat stodgy genre. On the other hand, if you're looking for a true to life rendition of the sport go elsewhere, this will be a swing and a miss to you.
By way of standard disclaimer, I am not a huge sports fan. I am not in a position to judge how accurate the players look, their patented moves, where the verisimilitude of action on the field. Nevertheless, I had a good time playing The Bigs2 with my friends. The fast paced, electric action was fun...and left me wanting a real, not virtual hot dog and a beer.
