The series has spawned a TV special ( NFL Backyard Basics: Football Tips from the Pros) and a few books, as well as a Comic Book Adaptation (a Prequel to the game Sandlot Sluggers) which can be read here. There are six main brands associated with the series: Backyard Baseball, Backyard Soccer, Backyard Football, Backyard Basketball, Backyard Hockey, and Backyard Skateboarding (which has only produced one game and its Game of the Year Edition). There have been over 30 games published in the series, the first few of which are regarded as quite good and the last few of which are regarded as awful. It is the only game series that has licensing from all the major professional sports leagues in the USA: the MLB, MLS, NFL, NBA, and NHL.
It really does look like something that would have been on Nickelodeon in the 90s, probably in between Rugrats and Rocko’s Modern Life! It has a very charming and wholesome look to it and the way the different “stadiums” look is very well done too.Backyard Sports, formerly called Junior Sports, is a sports video game series originally made by Humongous Entertainment, which was later bought by Atari.
The art style of Backyard Baseball 2001 is great. It is just all about having fun and fun is the best way to describe it. 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.īackyard 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. You also have Season Play which is Backyard Baseball 2001’s main game mode. It is a great way to learn the basics of the game. 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.
