My kids love it (boys 7 & 11 yrs) but I find it absolutely useless. With so much really great software out there that kids love and parents appreciate for the learning value, I don't know why anyone would waste the money. In my opinion this software is as big a waste of time as gameboy.
WHAT'S THIS??? ICHIRO SUZUKI??? Mr. "Blue Wave"?! (Whistle)!

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: YOU GUYS MADE AN AWFUL GAME HERE. You had a lot of mistakes, which were these:::
- You need all 30 NBA Arenas, not just made-up ones of your own.
- You need these NBA Players:
Kevin Garnett
LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Tracy McGrady
Shawn Marion
Dwyane Wade
Tim Duncan
Amare Stoudemire
Shaquille O'Neal
Paul Pierce
Rasheed Wallace
Steve Francis
Vince Carter
Allen Iverson
Well, what about having Old School Ballers?
Charles Barkley
Larry Bird (Goodies)
Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain (Goodies)
Bob Cousy
Clyde (The Glide) Drexler
Julius (Dr. J) Erving (Goodies)
Patrick Ewing
Walt Fraizer
George Gervin (Goodies)
Earvin (Magic) Johnson
Michael Jordan
Karl Malone
Moses Malone (Goodies)
George Mikan (Goodies)

Hakeem Olajuwon
Scottie Pippen
David Robinson (Goodies)
Bill Russell (Goodies)
John Stockton
Isiah Thomas (Goodies)
Bill Walton
Lenny Wilkens
Dominique Wilkins (Goodies)
and James Worthy
You also made mistakes in Season Play:::
- You let us draft only 5 players instead of 12.
- You had only 14 games in Regular Season, not 82 games.
- You need 4-7 games in each round of the playoffs, not just 1.
- There should be an All-Star Weekend (just like the NBA one) in the middle of the season.
- You should let us have a franchise just like an NBA franchise, and YOU NEED TO INCLUDE A DRAFT.
- Next time, you should also try to put the season from the last Tuesday of October (or the first Tuesday of November if too early) to the third Wednesday in April.
You also made mistakes in Appearances:::
- Depending on a player's height, you should put them anywhere from 6"0 to 7"6.
- Depending on a player's weight, you should put them anywhere from 150 lbs. to 350 lbs.
- In uniforms, the uniforms should appear like their real life NBA format.
- The characters should look 3-D, not 2-D and the NBA players should look like their real-life themselves.
- The pros should have pro photos of them playing basketball.
You also made mistakes in stations applicable for this game:
- This time you should have put PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and the PC for stations applicable for this game.
- Next time (if 2005), you should put PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo GameCube, and the PC for stations applicable for this kind of next edition.
- Next time (if 2006 or later), you should put PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Nintendo Revoulotion and the regular PC for stations applicable for this kind of next edition.
So I add it up, and you have...
16 MISTAKES! UNBELIEVABLE! NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD TRY AND FIX THESE MISTAKES SO BACKYARD BASKETBALL WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER GAME AND SO MUCH MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE BUYING IT AND WHEN IT COMES, IF YOU DO THAT, IT'LL BE SO POPULAR.
Great game

This game is great and a little challanging! The menus are very simple. There are 2 modes that you can play on. A single game mode and season play mode. In single game mode, if you want certain players on your team you have to get them quickly because your opponent can get them before you do. A cool part of single game mode is that you can play tee-ball and watch a demo! On season mode you pick your players first so you have all the players that you want. Each player has four ratings, Batting, Running, Pitching and Fielding. There are three game levels. (Excluding tee-ball mode) A way that makes the game challanging is that there is pluses and minus'. Pluses make them stronger in a rating and minus' make them lower in a rating.If you want to play season mode I reccomend you first play some single games and watch some demos. Also you should start at easy level and work your way up to medium then hard. Heres a tip. Never get Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds! They get tired to easily and get lots of minus'. A very fun game!
