My 7 year old son loves it, but my pet peeve is that there is no way to Save a game & come back to it. Therefore I have to allot him a good hour to play, so he can only use it on the weekend! I contacted the company, & they said that is how the game is set up.

This game is awesome. I never would play any backyard sport game if I had to choose one. I have thrown a perfect game[ very hard to try], game winning hits, clutch peformances by unsung players. This game is the best.

I was a little wary when I bought this product however upon purchase and subsequently playing the game I can say that this game is awesome. Everything is simple to use from the controls to obtaining the locked out players. Game play is really a lot of fun especially when you have power ups at your disposal ie: aluminum power which is my favorite,fireball pitch,pinata ball,etc. I am going to purchase all of the other Backyard Baseball games as they provide hours of entertainment. Only drawback I find is that there needs to be a lot more players from the 40s,50s,60s,70s. Maybe this will be addressed someday. So settle for Babe Ruth for right now.

ATLANTA BRAVES (forgot to pick Boston)

1. Ernie Steele (To me, HE FREAKING OWNS. HES MY UBER PITCHER AND HITTER)
2. Ichiro (everyone wants ichiro for his running, lol)
3. Abbner Dubbleplay (HES.... GOOD O_____O)
4. Albert Pujols (1st in batting avrg just like in MLB)
5. Alex Rodreguez (eh, he came of with some big hits i guess.)
6. Nero (My custom player! still kinda working on him but hes ok I guess MAXED POWER)
7. Derek Jeter- Shawn Green - Jim Thome (I usually switch these alot. THOME WAS MY GRAND PLAYER :( I LOST HIM FOREVER)
8. Mike Piazza (He hits grand slams WAY too well..
9. Nomar G. (His stats are just....off the charts.... hes good at everything!)

And for my extras...
Mr Clanky
Mark Prior (HE STINKS!)
Randy Johnson
Pedro Martinez
well i forgot the rest

Going 32-0, Starting playoffs, For some reason, Ernie Steele is really bad at pitching, but hes been a MVP since he started! First at bat, HOME RUN! I was like, dang hes good! Better keep him! You guys really should test this guy. He. Pwns. SO. MUCH!!.

What is Quantum field like? I'm wondering.

Best players would be: Ace (Nero) Ernie Steele Abbner Dubbleplay
Havnt unlocked my last player (the one slot after abner)

EDIT: I LOST JIM THOME BY ACCIDENT FOR JETER T_____T! I was so pissed off!

My favorite field is Frazier Field/Steele Stadium (I dont know what Steeles yard is called. Once, I hit 3 homeruns in water but i was like, what the? no aqua? then i tryed the 3 home runs in different parks then it worked o_O. I litterally KILLED the Expos. Jeter was up 3, no, FOUR times in the first four innings. About the combined runs agenst them? Lets see... about 400. I avrg 19 runs in the first 3 innings. I go through the order real fast. Alphonso Soriono is like really weird o_o.
When I got Abbner, It said on description when he was at bat, it said, "Doesnt know where his nachos are." I was like, DUH I EXPECTED THAT! I actually thought my last player to unlock was Sunny Day. WHOA! That was really freaky I thought. Guess what the Expos record was though? 5-27. Pretty much not their fault their CUSTOM batters have a 230. avrg and less.. And they have that geek player, Dmetri Petrovitch! HE HAD 62 SOS! HE DOESNT EVEN LOOK AT THE BALL O_O!!! Its so weird. Lisa Crockett reminds me of my sister XD. My mom got me this game for my 8th birthday and I got owned in my first game. I think it was like, I'd say about 0-35 when I lost. I was like, man I stink at this game! I told my Mom I stunk after I lost. She was like, ITS NOT MY PROBLEM. Geez. Talk about being nice. I wonder how good Barry Dejay is. Is he a pitcher or batter? Both? I wish.

I recomend this game off the charts. 100/10

This is great!!!!

I play this game every day thank you very much!!!
My team coach is Shattered. My team is the Giants, here's my
roster for the team.

1. Pablo Sanchez
2. Dizzy Lamb
3. Derek Jeter
4. Nomar Garciaparra
5. Skateaway Girl
6. Achmed Khan
7. Ichiro
8. Sammy Sosa
9. Greg Maddux

But Skateaway Girl isn't a bad hitter though she's not as good
as Dizzy Lamb at hitting the ball. Greg Maddux is always the player of the game, why? Dizzy Lamb today had his best day. 9/18/2005. He hit 3 homeruns the first game, and two grand slamers the first game. He had also a great second game too.
The Giants played hard today. Sammy Sosa & Nomar are the only
2 that struck out today. Skateaway Girl hit atleast 2 or 3 homers
I think. I drew a picture last 2 nights of the team. Skateaway
Girl looks beautiful in the picture with Dizzy. I hope this
review was helpful and buy this game today. It's very fun.
I enjoy this game though Dizzy gets me mad sometimes when
he don't hit a homer or pops up. Last two nights the kids wouldnt
hit the ball, they acted like little tiny babies. they can't
hit but yesterday they did a great jon!! They fool around San
Francisco, CA all day long thank you very much.
We have to get practice all the time in order to have a
good game. Skateaway Girl is also a rollergirl too. Her
favorite song is Skateaway from Dire Straits.

Sorry I bought it

After much anticipation (original release date was 5/11/04), I bought this for my 7 year old. He loves Backyard Basketball and Football, and wanted to buy Baseball 2003, but I persuaded him to wait for the "new and improved" 2005 version.

Well, we installed it and have had nothing but problems. I've called Atari 3 or 4 times, and they claim it's the video card/graphics driver. I downloaded Intel's newest (from 2002), but like several of the other reviewers, it cuts out at certain spots and when you hit the space bar. We have yet to play one game, after setting up fields and teams and listening to the announcers. I followed all the Atari troubleshooting tips (closing all background applications running, etc.), NOTHING WORKS! My son is disappointed, I am frustrated. I thought about spending the money to improve the computer/replace video card, but what if that doesn't work too? All the driver tests work for 3D and Direct X 9.0, I'm convinced it's NOT a driver problem but a software problem. I want my money back!

Fun game

I got this game, I installed it to my computer, and then it worked on my computer and this game was fun. I just played a game today with home team Oakland A's, and away team Atlanta Braves. I may play more games in the feature. Featuring players
such as Nomar Garciaparra, Dizzy Lamb, Ichiro, Jim Thome, Pablo
Sanchez, and Achmed Khan I enjoyed the game fare well. Dizzy Lamb
scored a run in the 4th inning of the game and we were tied 1 to
1 and were stuck till the 10th inning. Then the score was 1 to 2.
Really cool! The other team, Atlanta Braves had a lot of players
got outs. We played at Frazier field I think! When I first got
the game, I practiced to see if it was good enough to play against the kids! I may play the game again later on and play
another game this time! Overall great game!

it was march 11 when the first game with byb game of 2005 was.
