  • Mar 26, 2009  Backyard Baseball'10 for Nintendo DS is the latest and greatest version of the best selling kids' baseball video game series. Backyard Baseball '10 is a great way to extend the love of baseball from the outside field to the virtual field.

The original game consisted of 30 neighborhood kids from which the gamer could choose to play.[1] Over the years, the idea of 'Pro players as kids' became popular, and the original statistics and looks of the players changed. Some of the professional players that were available included Chipper Jones, Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez, Alfonso Soriano, Ichiro Suzuki, Sammy Sosa, Jim Thome, Albert Pujols, Nomar Garciaparra, Ken Griffey Jr., and Barry Bonds. As the game progresses, there are some professionals that become available or 'unlockable' including Randy Johnson, Derek Jeter, and Mike Piazza.

In Backyard Baseball, players take a managerial role by creating a team of different players to compete against opponents. In the different installments, a player could play an exhibition game or a 14, 16 or 32 game season (different versions vary) followed by the 'Backyard Baseball League' playoffs, which contains the American League and National League divisional series, the AL and NL championship series and finally the 'Backyard Baseball World Series'. Series games will vary per game.

Oct 11, 2017  Yesterday The Ringer ran a hell of a piece on the cult classic computer game Backyard Baseball and its incredible legacy. I highly recommend checking it out, as it brought back all the fond nostalgia I have for the Backyard sports series. The Undisputed Best ‘Backyard Baseball’ Lineup. It’s on YouTube if you want to look it up, it. Aug 11, 2011  Plays in the clubhouse. By Rhett Mathis. Pablo Sanchez hits two big homers for Cubs in the backyard world series - Duration: 43:19. The Jon Michael Show 1,933 views. Just what it sounds like. The MUSIC of Baseball-SONGS, INSTRUMENTALS, TEAM ANTHEMS, FAN TUNES. SOME Yankees stuff, of course! The best stuff I could find on YouTube, Plus a few videos I made myself.ENJOY!.NOTE: I have spun off a separate YANKEES Playlist, and a NEW 'BASEBALL CORNUCOPIA' Playlist, and devoted this one exclusively to SONGS. Jul 27, 2014  How I missed this incredibly obvious one is completely beyond me. By Rhett Mathis. Backyard baseball music youtube. Mar 04, 2020  The Backyard franchise no longer produces new games, but as the 2020 MLB season and the celebrated game’s 20th birthday approach, let’s imagine it did.

This game has various playable modes, they include: Single Game, Batting Practice, Spectator, and Season Game.

In 2013, The Evergreen Group acquired the intellectual property from Atari.

Legacy[edit]

Pablo Sanchez, one of the playable characters in the game, has been regarded as one of the strongest characters in video game history.[2][3][4]

The game has also been noted for its diversity (gender, race) of characters, both in ratio of white to non-white and male to female, as well as skill level and the distribution of the best characters.[5]

Power-Ups[edit]

Sometimes accompanying the four standard batting modes (Power, Line Drive, Grounder and Bunt), some beneficial power-ups appear. In the original Backyard Baseball, these batting power-ups appeared when the player got a hit when the computer used a 'crazy pitch' (see below). Starting from Backyard Baseball 2001, the power ups were awarded after a hit off a 'crazy pitch' and when the player turned a double play or triple play on defense. In addition to these batting power-ups, pitching power-ups, or 'crazy pitches,' also progressively appear, though they are much more frequent and in number, occurring whenever the player strikes an opponent out. These pitches consume much more energy and causes the strike zone to expand, so most of the pitches given are never used consecutively. In addition to the 'crazy pitches,' a strikeout may also award the player 'More Juice,' a full energy recharge for the pitcher that can be used when the player sees fit to use it.

Backyard Baseball 2001

Batting Power-Ups

  • Aluminum Power: This power-up is the most valued and can disappear after one or no tries when in use. Players use an aluminum bat to increase the chances to hit a home run.
  • Screaming Line Drive: The power-up last about two uses and appears more frequently. Players hit a fast line drive to the wall and allows the batter to run more or all bases.
  • Under Grounder: This move lasts at least two uses. Players hit a ground ball that goes into the ground, causing the ball to reappear in any random area of the outfield.
  • Crazy Bunt: The move disappears after one or no tries when in use, but if the power-up is used sparingly, the move can last up to four uses. When the ball is hit, the ball rolls around the field erratically as fielders just barely miss catching it.

Pitching Power-Ups

  • Big Freeze: The ball is thrown like normal but suddenly stops just before it enters the strike zone, often faking the hitter into swinging at the pitch.
  • Elevator: The ball is thrown low along the ground and then the ball suddenly jumps into the air at the last moment.
  • Crazyball: the ball 'laughs' when thrown, and it moves in random directions in the air. Easier to hit if swingspot is enabled
  • Corkskrew: The ball makes a spiral motion through the air. Easier to hit if swingspot is enabled
  • Zigzag: The ball makes a zig-zag motion through the air. Easier to hit if swingspot is enabled
  • Slomo: The ball travels very slowly through the air, requiring precise timing to be hit.
  • Spitball: The ball is covered with saliva and jerks in the air.
  • Fireball: One of the most powerful pitches, the ball blazes past the batter in a ball of fire at an incredibly high speed. When used by a player, this pitch is the most draining of the pitcher's stamina.

Backyard Baseball 2005

Batting Power-Ups

  • Sonic Boom: The player knocks down opposing fielders with a super-powerful shockwave.
  • Rubber Bat: The batter bounce a grounder really high into the air — the player will have a chance to reach base before any fielder catches the ball.
  • Butter Fingers: The player will splatter the opposing fielders with butter. They'll have a slippery time trying to field your hit.
  • Jumping Bean Bunt: This tricky power-up makes the ball jump all over the place!
  • Lightning Bat: Produce tremendous power when you connect with the ball.
  • Geyser Hit: The batter makes the ball burrow deep underground before it suddenly surfaces somewhere in the outfield.
  • Piñata Bat: The batter drives fielders crazy when the ball is hit, the ball multiplies into dozens of bouncing baseballs.
  • Orbiter: Knock the stuffing out of the ball.

Pitching Power-Ups

  • The Fang: The Fang looks like a normal curve-ball, but it bites hard at the last second and goes straight into the dirt.
  • Freezer: The Freezer stops just before reaching the strike zone, pauses briefly, and then continues.
  • Slo MO: This ball starts moving at ultra-slow speed just before reaching the strike zone.
  • Juice Box: The Juice Box will refill your pitcher's Pitch Juice Box.
  • Rainbow Pop-up: When it's hit, the ball goes straight into the air for an easy out.
  • Crazy Pitch: The Crazy Pitch is so wild that even the pitcher doesn't know where it will go.
  • Splitball: This pitch splits into two separate curve-balls, one of which is a fake, unhittable baseball.
  • Fireball: The Fireball is so fast it can burn a hole in your catcher's glove.

Description of Backyard Baseball Windows

Read Full Review

Home Run Park

Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money. A game where multi-million dollar contracts are unknown. A game where everyone gets to play. Imagine a game just like it was with the youthful innocence of a child. This, my friends, is Backyard Baseball. 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.

Playing for Real

Humongous Entertainment reached back into the past and captured all those childhood memories of baseball and digitally assembled them into this game. All the details that make the memories real are here - from the kids taunting the pitcher to the child with the asthma inhaler. 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. Nothing was left out.

Players choose from fields such as the sandlot, the urban parking lot, and the rich kid's backyard. 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.

Everything about this game is charming and cute.

Baseball

Swing and Miss

Gameplay includes all the necessary elements. Pitchers choose the pitch as well as the placement. Hitters swing at the ball and can even see the strike zone. 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. Everything is here, and everything is easy enough for kids. The pace is a little slow, but not too fast for children. 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. I was extremely impressed with all the details of each character.

I have a few complaints about the game. This game doesn't install any files to the hard disk - everything is run from the CD. For some reason, each swing of the bat causes the CD to be read. This makes the animation choppy and the mouse click to hit feels sluggish and unresponsive. While the game is playable with this problem, it makes hitting the ball a little difficult. Instead of getting better the more balls I hit, I never really improved. I think this is because I never was able to time when I hit the mouse button and the player started their swing. That little delay when it read from the CD just ruins the hand/eye coordination.

I tried copying the entire 270MB of CD data to the hard disk to see if that improved performance (note: this is not an option in the install menu, I just copied it by dragging the contents of the CD into a new folder on my hard disk.) It did speed up the game somewhat, but the batting problem didn't improve significantly.

I also encountered one bug: I hit a ball that bounced infield, then over the fence for what should have been a double. The announcer even stated this was a double, but the runner advanced only to first.

Worthy of Praise

This game is terrific and has all the elements of a Gold Medal winner. But I can't do it. The delay in clicking the mouse and the batter swinging the ball just ruins it for me. I still like the game a lot and highly recommend it, but a Gold Medal is for games without such evident flaws. I guess I'm mad because this should have been corrected. Even a little play testing would have shown that this was a problem. Instead, we are left with what could have been a 'Game of the Year,' but instead fails to deliver on one very important game element.

This is still an outstanding game and I recommend it strongly.

Review By GamesDomain

The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executablesshipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for whichthey were never designed!Originally it was designed to run LucasArts' SCUMM games, such as ManiacMansion, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle or Sam and Max. Backyard soccer.
