i've only "rented" the game before but it's really good. And the fact that you can create a player, a whole team if your dedicated enough, plus ten allstars it's just overwhelming! And stop saying it's bad! O.K. maybe the graphics are bad compared to the games nowadays but it's still pretty good. Kids and parents will love it no matter how bad.

This game is the worst baseball game out there. The controls are weird because if by mistake you're facing 2nd when you want to throw to third you throw it to second and this is very frustrating. The swings are really stupid too. It looks like your hitter did a half swing that turned into a homerun. There for I think backyard is a failure. This is a game for kids 6 and under. This is also a complete waste for baseball fans. So if you are a baseball fan I reccomend MVP baseball 2004.
P.S. Don't even think of renting it.

My 5 year old son is addicted to this game! We got a Gamecube for Christmas and my son has really enjoyed games such as Mario Double Dash but he is also a big fan of baseball so we picked this game up. We started off with batting practice to get the hang of it and after a day or two he migrated into game mode and started playing the computer. He has mananged to figure out many of the various features of the game without my help and is now regularly beating the computer. He has learned which players are best and picks his team accordingly. He has also learned a lot about the workings of baseball just by playing this game. We went to a KC Royals game the other night and he was mesmerized-watching the play like never before. This game has been a real hit in our household!

This game takes some getting used to. When I first played it, I didn't score a run until the 9th inning, and even then Barry Bonds had to hit a home run with one on. After a while you get used to it. The graphics are ok but on the replay after a home run, the ball disappears after going over the fence. If you change the difficulty level from allstar to pro or rookie, the number of innings changes from nine innings to six and if you have rookie with nine innings of play and change it to pro, same thing. But if you have changed the difficulty level and you're in the fifth inning, simply change it to allstar until the top of the 7th. Other than that, 5 to 12-year-olds should love this game.
