Backyard Baseball '97

I am absolutely in love with this game when I was younger. I would sit for hours at the computer and play this without getting tired and to see that I’m able to download it on my iPad was just amazing. The only thing I can say that I wish the mobile version, I wish it would’ve gave me the full game experience like I Had with the the CD as far as different things to do within the game as far as batting practice and all that stuff, and I figured it would’ve came with it because we did have to pay and usually with the free apps it’s little things that you have to pay for, but that’s just the only thing that I’m concerned about us not having the full version of the game.

UPDATE: increased to the rightful place of 5 stars. The developer made the needed improvements and no more crashing! On my way to winning my league championship! Thanks for listening and responding!! Hope to play against other people one day maybe in 3 inning games!! Original Review: I grew up playing this game and was excited for this to come to mobile. I want to thank the developer for bring a piece of my childhood back for me to enjoy. However for a paid app and having it crash now two times in a row that was in a league game right at the end is very frustrating. There is no auto save so I will need to play the same league game a third time. I know this game just came out but please get these bugs fixed. I hope to increase my rating one day soon.

This game is exactly what I was looking for! The game is such a throwback and so well done. My only criticisms are that it would be nice to see the game brought to full screen to utilize the entire screen of the phone, and that sometimes the game crashes and the app shuts down and upon restarting you find that you have to restart the entire game that you were in the middle of playing. I’m sure with a little more polishing. This game can be refined and become even greater. Thank you guys so much for putting out the effort to make this happen and bring it to the mobile platform. I really hope you guys continue developing this further and consider releasing even more titles in the future. Maybe you could release them as add-ons so that we could play different versions released in following years all under the same app? I’m thinking either one backyard sports app with all the different sports and different versions released in subsequent years? I’m sure it will take a lot of time, but…what do you think? I’m just saying, I think it would be amazing. Goodbye death scrolling on social media and HELLOO backyard sports!
