this is a very fun game. Great graphics, smooth gameplay, and, as i said, lots of fun! you can choose from a bunch of pros, such as arod, nomar, bonds, giambi, beltran, and sosa. and the backyard kids, like pablo sanchez, dante robinson, jocinda smith, etc.

but, as my title says, it's made for the younger kind. The game gets really easy really fast, and on the hard mode with errors off, i beat the other team 44-1.

I would borrow it from a friend, see how you like it, and go from there, but don't buy it right away.

This game is excellent. With all the players you can choose from you can build your dream team. The only bad part is that the power ups are very unrealistic (You can turn them off).

Ever since my 5 year old son got this for Christmas, he has probably played with this CD everyday. He always liked baseball, but he is even more into it now. He's learned all the teams and players names and it has even helped him learn the strategies in baseball. He absolutely loves it.

You can also decide to choose a few made up kids from the bench or use both! next,on comes the game. There are two anouncers that tell you if there is a ball, strike, foul, steal, run, or homerun. You can also decide your roster.Play ball! You can play safely on the internet against friends ,play a single game, or create a coach and play a whole season. Have fun!!!!

This game is the best(Well if you like baseball.)! I mean getting to play with actual MLB players as kids. It's also really neat to have other kids. I've never tried online play but it looks cool.

I think that Backyard Baseball is cool because it works on Macintosh and not many sports games work on Macs. I like how they made pro players into kids. I also like being able to make my own players and coaches. On my first season I won the Backyard World Series. I liked the Super Collassal Dome and Big City Stadium - that's where they had the playoffs. My favorite player is Pablo Sanchez. He is probably the best backyard player. I also like that you can make your own team and team colors. This is the funnest baseball gane on earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game was lots of fun. Creating a "dream team" of real live proffesional kid players and normal kid players is intresting. Weighing all the pros and cons of all the players takes a lot of thought. When you get out on the field, you are really involved or barely involved in play, depending on the level of difficulty. If you picked your players right and coached your team with your head, you'll make it to the World Series. I've never beat the game on Hard difficulty, where you have to click exactly where the ball is coming to at exactly the right moment to hit the ball. This game also has the Humongous Entertainment touch added to it, with the Screaming Line Drive and Undergrounder occasional hitting options along with a few others. Get this game, it's lots of fun!
