you idiot kid 
2006-03-10
i dont like the game either. but all that stuff is what you want. if you want a good game, make it yourself.
THIS IS NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2005-12-06
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: YOU GUYS MADE AN AWFUL GAME HERE. You had a lot of mistakes, which were these:::
- You need all 30 NBA Arenas, not just made-up ones of your own.
- You need these NBA Players:
Kevin Garnett
LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Tracy McGrady
Shawn Marion
Dwyane Wade
Tim Duncan
Amare Stoudemire
Shaquille O'Neal
Paul Pierce
Rasheed Wallace
Steve Francis
Vince Carter
Allen Iverson
Well, what about having Old School Ballers?
Charles Barkley
Larry Bird (Goodies)
Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain (Goodies)
Bob Cousy
Clyde (The Glide) Drexler
Julius (Dr. J) Erving (Goodies)
Patrick Ewing
Walt Fraizer
George Gervin (Goodies)
Earvin (Magic) Johnson
Michael Jordan
Karl Malone
Moses Malone (Goodies)
George Mikan (Goodies)

Hakeem Olajuwon
Scottie Pippen
David Robinson (Goodies)
Bill Russell (Goodies)
John Stockton
Isiah Thomas (Goodies)
Bill Walton
Lenny Wilkens
Dominique Wilkins (Goodies)
and James Worthy
You also made mistakes in Season Play:::
- You let us draft only 5 players instead of 12.
- You had only 14 games in Regular Season, not 82 games.
- You need 4-7 games in each round of the playoffs, not just 1.
- There should be an All-Star Weekend (just like the NBA one) in the middle of the season.
- You should let us have a franchise just like an NBA franchise, and YOU NEED TO INCLUDE A DRAFT.
- Next time, you should also try to put the season from the last Tuesday of October (or the first Tuesday of November if too early) to the third Wednesday in April.
You also made mistakes in Appearances:::
- Depending on a player's height, you should put them anywhere from 6"0 to 7"6.
- Depending on a player's weight, you should put them anywhere from 150 lbs. to 350 lbs.
- In uniforms, the uniforms should appear like their real life NBA format.
- The characters should look 3-D, not 2-D and the NBA players should look like their real-life themselves.
- The pros should have pro photos of them playing basketball.
You also made mistakes in stations applicable for this game:
- This time you should have put PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and the PC for stations applicable for this game.
- Next time (if 2005), you should put PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo GameCube, and the PC for stations applicable for this kind of next edition.
- Next time (if 2006 or later), you should put PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Nintendo Revoulotion and the regular PC for stations applicable for this kind of next edition.
So I add it up, and you have...
16 MISTAKES! UNBELIEVABLE! NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD TRY AND FIX THESE MISTAKES SO BACKYARD BASKETBALL WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER GAME AND SO MUCH MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE BUYING IT AND WHEN IT COMES, IF YOU DO THAT, IT'LL BE SO POPULAR.
Oh, Man, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? 2005-12-05
Why did you do this? You didn't even put Peja Stojakovic and you didn't even have freestyle superstars. I mean, EVERY BASKETBALL GAME WOULD BE INFINITY BETTER THAN THIS. You also should have put 82 games on the Backyard Basketball 2004 season schedule, and you should have picked:

boreing! 
2005-11-30
This game is really boring and easy. I comepleted this game in a half hour.Not only that, its really stupid to. They have a guy in a wheelchair that can to a slam dunk! That's what I call dumb.
Brain Mush! 2005-11-15
My kids love it (boys 7 & 11 yrs) but I find it absolutely useless. With so much really great software out there that kids love and parents appreciate for the learning value, I don't know why anyone would waste the money. In my opinion this software is as big a waste of time as gameboy.
Backyard Baseball 
2008-06-23
This was for my son who loves playing this game. It is a replacement for one he had lost.
Pretty sweet. 
2007-08-08
This game is really good. It's compatible with multiple operating systems, which is why it was appealing to me, and most of all, it's "backyard" style play is very alluring. Just a great product overall.
Backyard Baseball Rocks 2007-04-05
I have all the backyard games, I like this one the best.
Backyard Soccer 2007-02-12
My 11 year old son says this game is the Bomb! He says he could play it forever. He has Backyard Baseball and Hockey but says that the Soccer is the best he's played of the Backyard Series.
