I've been a fan of sports games for a very long time but not so much the arcade style games like blitz, NBA street, NFL street...you get the point. so when i started playing the bigs i was not expecting that much but to my amazement i was wrong! me and my friend have played so many games of the bigs and everyone is just as fun as the first one, nice thing about this game is you can play 5 inning games so you don't have to take lots of time out of your day to play. the pitching game is pretty neat and each pitch your pitcher has will start off with a full Green bar of power, as the other player gets hits it will go down based on which pitch you throw, so it makes you wonder what kind of pitch your should throw to the big hitters like David Ortiz. you will earn turbo for either throwing strikes, or taking balls at the plate and using turbo as a pitcher will put a huge streak of fire behind the ball making it almost impossible to hit at times, but in a good way and on the batters side of it if you use turbo the batter will be guaranteed a pitch in the strike zone, now you will also be earning points through out the game and you get points for strikeouts, singles, doubles, triples, home runs, and great catches. once you earn 100,000 points you can either unleash a power blast, which basically is saying if you hit a ball its gone! as a pitcher is the same...just impossible to hit the pitch now say you both have 100k points unleash them both at the same time its a duel and the one who wins will get a whole new bar of turbo giving you another 100k points! usually the pitcher will win if your playing against a friend. there is some small issues with the game on the game play side, sometimes there will be a ball that your player will not get but no other player will attempt to get it just something minor but gets annoying at times and the base running has had a few glitch's at times for me as well. graphics are great and i think there just right for the game, small things that i really enjoyed are how when you aim a hit the batter will actually tilt towards the spot your aiming. so i guess that will pretty much wrap it up, I'd for sure go out and buy this game for whatever system you own, but if you have both a ps3 and a 360 go with the 360 version, I've played them both and enjoyed the 360 controls a bit more.
