Backyard Baseball '01

Backyard baseball 01 is ok it’s fun to see actual baseball players in the game but it’s just not like backyard baseball 97 it’s gameplay is just not as smooth but if I wanted to Stendhal my money on something at least it will go to a good cause just a thought as a fan would love to see backyard golf now I know it’s not the first sport you think of but here me out when you begin you pick your golfer and caddie out of the kids may be throw some pro golfers in with the rest for quick play some holes could be Petrovich pastures and Phillips field you can choose between your clubs a driver a spoon a 7 iron and your putter and with special powers like robot ball were when you putt it always makes it in the hole your announcers of course sunny day and the legend himself the ‘’lizard’’ chuck Mathew’s as a young fan who finally gets some family friendly games to play thank you playground productions even though 01 is not your best game good job. 👏

Playing this game as a kid was a core memory for me. It's a fantastic way to introduce new generations to baseball and get families involved in sports together. My favorite character is Kenny Kawaguchi; his use of a wheelchair is a great example of the game's focus on inclusion. For a modern re-release, adding cloud save functionality is essential. This would allow players to access their game progress across all their devices, from an iPhone to an iPad. Additionally, releasing a version for Mac computers would open the game up to a wider audience. Additionally, this game needs to tweak to be more touch responsive Ultimately, Backyard Baseball '01 remains a delightful trip down memory lane. While it could use a few modern tweaks like cloud saves and better touch responsiveness, its timeless charm, inclusive characters like Kenny Kawaguchi, and simple, fun gameplay make it a must-play for anyone who wants to revisit their childhood or share the joy of baseball with a new generation.

I still own my copy on disc from all those years ago. But being able to play this on my phone now is nuts. It’s the same game that it was then and now I can take it anywhere. It’s a shame that 3 of the players aren’t in the game but they’re actually replaced with some solid created players. Also I wish the old player baseball cards for mlb players were still in the game, but maybe that was a copyright issue. The old bugs I’ve found are in my season mode the created player “Chase Walton” I think, has no stamina lose when pitching. His stamina goes down very slow and resets each inning to 100%. Other than that the controls are fine and the game runs smooth. And maybe it’s my memory but I could have swore Pablo was stronger and some of the others were a little faster, Kenny Loften and Pete wheeler in particular. But all in all I’m glad this classic lives on
