This game has fun gameplay, but could be more realistic. You can hit a 3-pointer, half-court shot, and whole court shot almost every single time! And anyone can dunk, and just tell me, HOW CAN A KID IN A WHEEL-CHAIR DUNK!!!! These kids shouldn`t be able to hit EVERY SINGLE shot!!!! Some of these people make every 3-pointer they shot. I was doing training, and I was Dimitri Petrovich, and I was shooting half-court shots, and when I finally reached 236 in a row, I just decided to quit. Like come on, no one in real life could do that. You can buy it from me if you want, and i`ll give you a free cd case too for getting this THING and WASTE-OF-TIME out of my life. DONT BUY!!!!!!!

I enjoy the backyard series, but backyard basketball is disappointing. It dosen't include enough pro players, the power-ups are terrible, and the season is too long.

Fun, but needs a little work

When I got Backyard Basketball I was so excited! I would play and play until I got a little tired of it. I rated this item a 4 because I think they should put in real NBA teams instead of created teams. I also rated it a 4 because I think that you should get to play with 5 people on the court, not 3.

Buy... Must Buy!

This game is awesome with great graphics and the players are really good. I gave this game a 4 because your opponents don't do anything but stand there, while you have the ball. They just cover you. I thought it would be a challenge but it isn't.
But... The players are really good and, I recommend that you buy this awesome game. GO BASKETBALL!!!

The Best Computer Game Ever

Everybody should buy my favorite game. There is Kevin Garnett and Lisa Leslie. The old players are awesome too. The teams are great. My only complaint is the game can be slow at times. You can make your own team and change them around whenever you want. I LOVE IT!

nothing better

Backyard Basketball is an awesome game for any Backyard fan. Even for someone new to the series. It's easy point-and-click controls, fun characters, fun gameplay, and custom teams made it one of the best Backyard games ever (which is saying a lot, as any fan should know).

You can make your own team. You can even have pros on your team, such as Kevin Garnett, or, if you prefer, make you own kid.

It's easy to recommend this game to practically anyone.

Basketball At It's Best

I'm "MoneyMan", a registered online coach at humongoussports.com, and as a registered coach i can play "backyard" games online. I haven't bought the game yet, but was very disapointed to find out that this game nor Backyard Football 2002 didn't have online play. I was very happy though to find out that it had more descriptive create-a-player options, pro players, and specific options. My fellow Backyard gamers updated me on the game, and I found that it was not as good as I expected. This game was what everyone was waiting for at "The Sidelines", the Humongous Sports messageboard, before it was unexpectedly shut down for a second time. To find out it had limited saving options and no online play was a bad start. However, finding awesome graphics and great play-by-play and other options was a big plus. Overall, I think I will be happy enough with this game.
