CHICAGO, Illinois – Not everyone is a fan of baseball, so 2K Sports has created The Bigs franchise to make the game faster and more fun. Among the new features are an updated Home Run Baseball feature that offers new cities to play in with Tokyo and Las Vegas. New York’s Times Square also makes a return – and players can now play competitively and cooperatively in this fun arcade mode. There’s also a full career mode where players can start in the Mexican league and work their way up to the The Bigs. In addition, this year’s Wii game will feature all of the gameplay that the other console versions offer to veteran baseball fans and rookies alike.
The Bigs 2 features MLB All-Star Prince Fielder, first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers, on the cover. The slugger was on hand in Chicago recently to star in the commercial for the new game, which features him running atop a speeding train. After wrapping his first Hollywood acting gig (Friday Night Lights director Peter Berg filmed the spot), Fielder sat down to talk about the new game and gaming with his kids in this exclusive interview.
