Backyard Baseball 2005 is Awesome

This is a really great game. The things that make it a great game are:
* It has extremely fun power ups
* You can save the season play and have a 32 game career
* It has awesome graphics (watch for the cow being lifted into the flying saucer.

The things that need improvement are:
* I had trouble saving a coach at first because I didn't have priviledges to create a folder outside of My Documents. They should fix that.
* That's all until version 2006!

Worth the effort!

I must say that although we initially had problems getting this game to run properly on my son's computer (an 800 Mhz PIII w/ATI 7500 running Windows ME), once we downloaded the latest drivers (the ones from just two months ago didn't work!), the game ran great! My son is 8 years old and he loves it - he's already up to the "Pro" difficulty level and is just starting to play the Season mode. It's fun watching him put together a team based on the kid's stats - this game is definitely teaching him a lot about Baseball! Highly recommend to anyone with a young baseball fan in the family!

I Thought the others were good!

I LOVE Backyard Baseball 2005! It's a great game! I thought it'd be fun to play Backyard Baseabll 2003 because I hadn't finished a season yet. It seems so BORING! Humongous (a.k.a Atari, Inforgrames.) did an excellent job of creating realistic 3-D worlds. There's only one that doesn't look 3-D. Because when I was doing the Home Run Derby, (one of the few mini-games in the program.) the baseball went right through to back of the setting! But otherwise, the 3-D graphics are so amazing! And it's even funner than the last one! Buy it, and have fun!

What are these other reviewers talking about? It ROCKS!

I just got this game over the weekend and I can't believe how much fun it is. I like it a lot more than Baseball 2003 because now it is all 3D. If those other people are having problems they should try buying a new computer.

Season Play is great too because now I can unlock some more pros. I just got Piazza over yesterday. I also unlocked a robot called Clanky after playing one of the practice games. He is an awesome pitcher!

Back to playing.

this is the best!!

This is the first Backyard Baseball game I have played, and I think it is cool!!! The grapics are all 3-D, which makes it really fun. There are some really fun and creative parks you can play in, and you even get to play with some of the most popular MLB players as kids. There is so much you can do on this game. You can even play a 18 or 32 game season and there is a world series at the end of it. You can also create your own players, which is really fun. I think this game is definetly worth the money. And if you think this is just a boy's game, your wrong. Im a girl and this game is cool!!!

great and fun

I just picked up Backyard Baseball 2005 for the PC and I must say, it's quite a cool game! All the locations you can play in are quite cool looking and varied, and the pros as kids are hilarious! I love me some Ichiro! I'm about halfway through my first season and I can't stop playing it. Check it out!

Excellent

Excellent game... for the guy who said that this game doesn't have a savegame option.. yes, you're right. It doesn't have the option, because the game saves automatically.

GREAT GAME!!

This is a great really great game. We can both play it and we are 6 years apart. We both love it, too! We like the Power-ups.The unlockable players and staduims are good. The 3D is a big improvement and so are the multiple angles. It looks a little like a movie. The Backyard Kids are improved and so are the player skills. They spoofed on the cover. A-Rod doesnt look a thing like he does on the cover. Also, making players isn't as good because they only give 20 skill points in single games and 15 in seasons. Read the book before you play!
