If you are a hardcore baseball fan, little kid, or anybody else, DO NOT GET THIS GAME! I like Wii Sports Baseball better than this. 1st of all, the hitting. Everytime you hit the ball, it goes to center field and you get a single. You can't hit a stinkin' homerun unless you have enough points. The graphics are terrible. Everybody looks the exact same. With the Wii remote, you have to flick the ball to the base you want it to go to. How can you get it to go to 2nd, and not home? YOU CAN'T!!!!! If you purchase this game, you will be dissapointed. Get MLB Power Pros instead. It's easier and much cooler than The Bigs or should I say The Worst Baseball Game EVER!

This isn't one of the games that you pick up and just go with, you do need to spend some time reading the instructions and practicing. I haven't tried to play the computer yet, because most the time we easily have 2 or more playing. For two people, I think this game is a blast once you get the hang of it. The graphics, sounds and commentators are all very good. The way that you control your players seems to be very much in your remote and numchuck and you seem to really have control both offensively and defensively. We were really excited when we found this game because we are huge baseball fans, and so far it seems to be right up there with Tiger Woods as our favorite game we have played so far.

As a baseball fan I had to get this game. The graphics are good, and so is the music.
However the main problem with this game is it is extremely unrealistic! It is nearly impossible to beat the computer at any level no matter how good your team is or how lousy the computer's team is. Obvious home runs are stolen when the computer jumps, what looks to be almost thiry feet in the air, to rob you of a home run.
Also the game is set in large part on a point system, and the more points you have the more it allows you to do ridiculous thing like throw pitches at nearly 110MPH. It also allows you to go into a power mode where basically any pitch you hit will be an automatic home run.
Also if you are behind in runs instead of helping you get out of the inning it actually has a punishing effect. It starts to take away pitches that you have, like removing a fast ball, from your choices. This is ridiculous!
It is no wonder EA has cornered the market on sports when small players make such unrealstic

This is one of the most irritating video baseball games I have ever seen. The controls are so complicated to learn and use that the game is just not fun to play. The only reason I can think of that so many people gave this game good reviews is that they played the game on other platforms where the controls were much simpler. The writers of the Wii version of this game got so carried away with the new stuff they can do that they forgot to actually play the game to see if it was fun. Well, I can tell them now to not waste their time. This game is not fun. If this were the only Wii game there was, the Wii wouldn't have sold 5 copies. Fortunately, it's not.

Wii fans who also like baseball have been waiting for this release - it's the first baseball game on the Wii (save for the thing that came with Wii Sports, but that doesn't really count). So I checked this out the day it was released. And it is a lot of fun!
Like most Wii games that require both the nunchuck and the Wiimote, you end up looking rather silly playing the game - so said my wife watching me play. :) But I got a kick out of it.
It also has a learning curve - Unless you want to just throw fastballs all the time, you have to spend some time figuring out how to throw all the other pitches. They all are with the Wiimote and involve holding the A or B button and twisting your wrist to throw the pitch. Plus the speed at which you flick your wrist during that affects the speed. So the bulk of this game is in your wrist of the Wiimote. And that's the crux of my problem with it. You can't play for too long before your wrist starts hurting, and you have to put it down.
