Having the choice to use pro players and pro teams is a big improvement over Backyard baseball

Coolest game ever invented!

This is the coolest game ever. cool graphics, nice way of pitching and hitting! It is just right for kids or teenagers! i know that i will be playin it for a long time. there is only one problem. the runners do run a little slow but every thing else makes up for that!! There are 31 teams to choose from and a lot of cool players. u can even make your own player! there are three things to choose from. season, single game, and online play. which really makes it even cooler. It is the BEST game EVER!

4 and a half really

This is a great baseball game I liked it better than Triple Play Baseball and I do own both.It is both cheaper and better than Triple Play and the other PS2 baseball games,so you think what makes this game so special,a lot of things.For striking out a batter you get a special which can be used 3 times.To name just a few Elevator,Heater,Corkscrew and Spitball.A Heater is the same as a fastball,but thrown twice as hard.I think most of you know what a spitball is.An elevator is my favorite pitch(that I have unlocked yet,anyway.)After the pitcher releases the baseball it rolls on the ground but when it reaches the plate it goes where you wanted to throw it.Corkscrew looks like a slowball until it reaches the plate spins around a few times then goes where you wanted it to go.Plus you just keep unlocking more when you strike someone out.Now to the batting,you have a little white symbol shaped like a bat which you move around you see a baseball which is where the pitcher is going to throw the ball.There are four boxes on the right side of what you hope to do with the ball if you make contact:power,line drive which is default,grounder or bunt.At first it is a little hard making contact but in a short period of time you will be getting hits easily.Because the players are kids not pros,they make mistakes often on easy(I mean CPU players)you can beat out a bunt,beat out a grounder,turn a single into a double,turn a doubles into triples into homeruns,which is very exciting.This is what makes the game so great,cool batting and great pitching.Also if you get a double play,you get what is called an undergrounder.It is one of the hitting choices with line drive,grounder,etc.,etc.The undergrounder is very cool, when you hit the ball it goes underground for a while.During this time your hitter runs the bases then when they have touched second the ball pops out of the outfield wall,in the confusion your player is still running,if the opposing team has great defense you will get a triple.If they have bad defense you will get an inside the park homerun.Hitting is overall good.Now to defense,defense is ok but could have been better.You click the ball to get it not very entertaining,but ok.Running the bases is fun click to go to next base.Click a small icon in the upper left corner to steal.Overall the best baseball game I have ever played.A must buy,the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the defense isn't great.

Great Baseball, Fun Game

This game is definatly better than the first one. You can choose to play a real team, or, the always availible backyard logos. Now you can pick real players(some have retired by now though) or the talented backyard kids.
When you play the easy mode, it's easy! My cousin has won 50 to 0! The medium level is a bit more challenging. You still win pretty easily, but I've got myself cought in a couple of games that are still too hard. The hard is HARD, well not too hard. The scores are now like baseball scores. Not 32 to 4, but 3 to 4 and so on.
Well I think it's a great game. Ready to be played by children of all ages. Just say thanks to Humonguous, the pro players, and the backyard kids for all this fun. I also recommend Bakyard Football, Soccer, and Basketball.

I love this game!

This game is great at first but gets really boring. I hated the fact of fatigue because Pete Weeler is the fastest person and becomes the slowest. If you only have the shadow to tell you where the ball is then it's the best.If it shows you where the actual ball is then it's almost an automatic homerun even for the average player.

BEST SPORT CD EVER

I think that Backyard Baseball 2001 is the best baseball game for kids. It has really cool graphics and sound. I also think that this game is cool because it gives you three choices to play 1. single game 2. season games 3. internet games. It also gives you choices on how hard or easy you want the computer to play against you. For single games your choices are 1. teeball 2. easy 3.meduim 4.hard. For season games your choices are 1. easy 2. meduim 3. hard. One more good thing about this CD is that it has some of the best baseball players including made up players and one player that you can make! Buy this CD!!

My game now!

I originally bought this game for my 6 year old daughter and found myself hogging the computer. It's fun to play the season games and make your own names and pick your own players. This game is not only fun for children but also a blast for adults to!
