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.

Terrible

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. ...

ok

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.

a below-average game

I own all of the backyard games, and this is byfar the worst. It has bad gameplay and is completely revolved around the fast-break. It is also impossible to play defense or rebound. Also, you cannot play as real NBA or WNBA teams such as in the other Backyard Games. Also, there are only 2 pro players (Kevin Garnett and Lisa Leslie). So unless you are a hardcore gamer under 10 with a good temper (because this game will get really annoying after a while) dont waste your money on it. Spend it on the new Backyard Game, Backyard Baseball 2003 (which is a great game).

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.

add more please

backyard basketball is okay but it lacks so many things. For one it's way to easy. Second not enough pro players you can just take all the pro's if there was more it would be harder. Third no pro teams it would be better with pro teams so then it would be at least a little bit realilistic.

way too easy.

Don't get me wrong though, I like this game. But even the hard level is child's play. However, this game is designed for kids 5-10. I like it, but it is too easy. My best game so far was 132-12. I think that even a 5 year old wouldn't have a problem kicking everyone's butt in this game. Its fun, and anyone who likes the other Backyard games (hockey, soccer, football, baseball) will like this one.

Pros:
- Very simple controls
- Not hard for little kids
- No offensive content (it is, however, targeted to younger persons)

Cons:
- Way too easy for older gamers (e.g. 9-12)
- Gets stale and repetative after awhile

Altogether this is a good game, but if you are over age 9, this one will be way too easy and you shouldn't get it. Otherwise, you will like this one. It's fun, just too easy, which is why the younger audience will like it.
