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. Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money.
