The Complete And Total Destruction Of A Perfect Game

It is truly remarkable that one of the greatest games ever made for PC was so easily and utterly destroyed in the 2003 version by a completely unbearable voice track. The voices are so mechanical, repetitive, and grating that it is impossible to play the game for more than ten minutes without turning off your speakers or tearing out your hair. The upgrades and updates to the game certainly don't outweigh this horrific failure; it is hard to believe that anyone at Humongous tested this game because no sensible person would have released it to market....

I bought this for my 9-year old grandson three or four months ago, and he just loves it. The game permits him to make many choices, so that he feels he can play the way he wants. He is a super baseball player and fan, so he needs to be kept challenged. This games does this for him.
He constantly reminds me that althought this is a good game, it's not the greatest because it doesn't have Mark McGwire in the lineup. However, it doesn't keep him from playing and enjoying the game.

I purchased this game for my daughter for Christmas and it had a defect in the install program. I returned it for another, and the same problem occurred. I have all the system requirements, but I think a bad batch was made. Be careful!
great sports games

Backyaard Football 2004 is way too inappropriate for da yunggunz. Other kids tackling other kids is not right for kids. My son bought this game and the next day he went to the principles' office for tackling a preschooler and the kid went to the hospital and fractured is head bone. So as you can see, don't buy this game for your kids. XOXOXOXOXO
I love this game!

In computer class at school, I always play this game. It is like your are playing a real game at Turner Field or something like that . My team is pretty good, but I can't just watch the game. Be careful when you are picking teams because, you might get a person that is not very good. I get Nomar G. as my shortstop, I like the Boston Red Sox. Get Randy J. or Carlos D. as your pitcher. This is a fun game to play if it is raining and you just want to "PLAY BALL"
My daughter and sons love it!

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!
