This makes the animation choppy and the mouse click to hit feels sluggish and unresponsive. For some reason, each swing of the bat causes the CD to be read.

This game doesn't install any files to the hard disk - everything is run from the CD. I was extremely impressed with all the details of each character.
Each batter has a distinct personality - from the boy who hops to the plate to the girl who says "my game is really tennis, anyway" when she strikes out. The pace is a little slow, but not too fast for children. Everything is here, and everything is easy enough for kids. Fielding is accomplished by clicking where you want the ball thrown, and running is as simple as clicking in the direction you want the runner to advance. Hitters swing at the ball and can even see the strike zone. Pitchers choose the pitch as well as the placement. Gameplay includes all the necessary elements.
Pitchers throw crazy pitches such as the "Elevator" and the "Crazy Ball." Background ambient noises and the taunting by the opposing team add to the rich atmosphere that you can almost smell.Įverything about this game is charming and cute. Players choose from fields such as the sandlot, the urban parking lot, and the rich kid's backyard. Do you remember picking teams, taking turns picking from the best players until only the bad players were left? Do you remember picking someone's little brother because his big brother was a good player? It's all here. All the details that make the memories real are here - from the kids taunting the pitcher to the child with the asthma inhaler. Humongous Entertainment reached back into the past and captured all those childhood memories of baseball and digitally assembled them into this game. Backyard Baseballtakes you back to when you were a kid, when baseball was a game, and the team was hastily put together among the kids in the neighborhood. Imagine a game just like it was with the youthful innocence of a child. A game where multi-million dollar contracts are unknown. It is just all about having fun and fun is the best way to describe it.Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money. In multiplayer I would bet that this game is an absolute blast! The core gameplay no matter if it is pitching, fielding or batting is very simple and it plays like a 90s arcade-style baseball game. Speaking of players there is a trading card book where you can learn more about the different players.Backyard Baseball 2001 also had an online mode and I am sure there is someone out there who has a server that allows you to play this online. If you do well here your players can be in the Hall of Fame. Here you will take your ragtag group of kids on a quest to win different championships. It is a great way to learn the basics of the game.You also have Season Play which is Backyard Baseball 2001’s main game mode. You can change innings, errors pick your stadium and so on. This mode lets you change the difficulty level from tee-ball all the way to hard. Backyard Baseball allows you to play a single game. The game modes are exactly what you would expect from a game in the Backyard Sports series.
