THE BEST BACKYARD GAME YET

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 2 / 3

This is easily the best backyard game. I've been playing the backyard games since the original Backyard Baseball! So I know. Pete Wheeler is funnier than ever (I still get a kick out of him everytime he says "One Time It Rained.") Dmitri Petrovich finally found a sport he rules at (Pick him, He can shoot a three pointer from anywere). And its easy to win! IT RULES ON THIN ICE!

To cute!

My son got this for Christmas also and to see all the pros as little kids AND cartoons I love these series of games, plus they are not hard to navigate the game. My little one likes to play them with his big brother and now we even bought the baseball one for GBA.

I have purchased the previous Backyard sports software, FOR THE MACINTOSH. I would be happy to purchase more than one copy of newer versions if they were also available for the Mac. Why the change??? Even the Backyard Foodball, which we had purchased previously, is now available only for the PC. If available for both PC and Windows (especially for OS 9.x) it would be very helpful. I would, at this time, be purchasing copies for both the PC and the Mac for grandchildren, for Christmas - at this time, I can't.

I don't have the Backyard Basketball yet, but my 5 year old son has the soccer, baseball and football versions. He loves them and they weren't difficult for him to figure out. The software allows him to add more difficulty to the way he plays it as he gets older and understands more about the way real sports games are played. It keeps him entertained and thinking for a long time, which is a good sign in children's software.

Had Hoped It Would BeAs Good As Backyard Baseball

This was disappointing. After Backyard Baseball was a tremendous hit with our 4-year old. Backyard Basketball doesn't live up to the Baseball game. My son & I were both expecting another 30+ professional players that we could learn their names and statistics together. Instead, unike the Backyard Baseball, this product isn't endorsed by the NBA as significantly. It would be great if the software maker put out updates each year so that we could buy another set of players to add to the roster to pick from each year. In general, I'd highly recommend the Backyard Series of PC Games, kid's love them, and they put hours of time into learning how to use them. After getting past the initial disappointment of only learning Kevin Garnett's name, we still enjoyed this game.

I've been playing these backyard games for a while. At first it's fun but after a while it just gets too easy. You can't lose even if you play on hard. ...

Okay, I guess.

This is probably the best backyard sports game yet. I love collecting power-up`s. But I agree with other reviewers, it is much to easy. After a while it can get boring clinching the play-off spot, staying undefeated, win by a huge margin each and every game, easily winning trophies, etc. I would still put this down as one of my favorite games, though. I enjoy playing as superstars such as: Kevin Garnett and Lisa Leslie. I also like playing as unbelievely fast Pete Wheeler, spanish talking Pablo Sanchez, (for you cheaters I know what your thinking), and baseball star Kiesha Phillips. Please buy this game!
