I am writing this review before it came out but I still think it is going to be a good computer game. I want to buy this game because I like basketball and maybe it will improve my skills. I think so because I have Backyard Soccer and it sort of improved my soccer skills. If you're a basketball lover like me I think you should get this game. I hope this review was helpful to you.

This is a great game that would be enjoyed by all basketball lovers, especially younger ones. My brothers and I have enjoyed the previous Backyard Games (Football, Baseball and Soccer), and this one delivers also. The kid stars of today and the create a player feature makes this game a must have.

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.

Backyard Basketball is another great game by Humongous Entermaint. Kevin Garnett is my my favorite hoops player (besides Allen Houston). This should and is a great game, so get it,love it,and play some hoops

Bad controls- can't say I liked it

This game is the 7th and worst of the Backyard Series games. It seems to me like they rushed this product to the market. I really liked the other backyard games better. The main problem with this game would be the controls. It is virtually impossible to play defense. There are many glitches to the game also. There is limited saving(only to season games)If I were you, I'd stick with Backyard Football 2002 or Backyard Baseball 2001- my favorites.

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.

This game will exite you and amaze you.There are fun killer basket ball courts and two pro basketball players Lisa Leslie and Kevin Garnet.Even have your whole team of customs.After the game the player of the game will be talked to and see the rewards they get.One tip pick Kevin Garnet.There's weird teams to pick through and even make your own team.If your looking for a good and fun game this is it!!!
