It is a fun game. It is a great game. It is very fun. It is an interesting game. The players look cool in this game. Mike Piaza is one of the players in the game. Another player in the game is Dereck Jeter.

BYB'03

I am looking forward to the release of this game tremendously. The first BYB was the debut by Humongous Entertainment for the Backyard Sports series. The second was much improved, offering Major League Teams and players, along with online play. The last three releases from Humongous (owned by Infogrames) have been fabulous games with computer animation as well as hand drawn. It's hard to imagine that Backyard Baseball 2003 will be able to beat the success of BYB'01, but with the return of players like Sammy Sosa, Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi and Alex Rodriguez coupled with new players such as Ichiro, Tim Hudson and Carlos Delgado, this looks to be one of the better Backyard Games. I was mildly disapointed with the performance of Backyard Basketball, not because of bad graphics or gameplay flaws, but because of having only two professional players (Kevin Garnett and Lisa Leslie) and no official NBA teams! One minor gameplay glitch miffed me about BYF'02, but it was a small price to pay for excellent graphics and 10 pros such as Brett Farve. BYB'03 wields 4 brand new fields. Go to the Infogrames web site and go to Children's games and click on Backyard Baseball 2003 for screen shot. Ichiro up to bat against the Twin's Brad Radke now encompasses my computer screen. I am saddened by the loss of favorites Mark McGwire, Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn, especially Ripken. Regardles of popular belief, Cal IS the best infielder in that game (Sorry, Derek, buddy). Hopefully with the rise of BYB'03, will come more cheats. I think the employment of cheat codes could do no harm to the game. ...!! Well, the dawn of a new Backyard game is coming, and while I can't make the Yankees lose the World Series in the real world, perhaps my Mariners can pull of a few '03 miricales in the Backyard Realm. Until then, Jah Backyard Peeps, RIDE ON! go M's, make them yanks cringe. Out.

WHAT'S THIS??? ICHIRO SUZUKI??? Mr. "Blue Wave"?! (Whistle)!

That's right folks, Seattle Mariner "Ichiro Suzuki" is a kid of the "Backyard Forms", this kid is truly amazing! He is a "Japanese Baseball Star" Mr. Suzuki played for a Japanese Baseball team called "Blue Wave"! Now, Mr. Blue Wave is on the Mariners and geez... WHO WOULD THINK BLUE WAVE BAT-ERING MAN, (Mr. Roboto in some cases) IS A BACKYARD KID? ...! FUNNY STUFF "Humongous Entertainment"! Real funny stuff! I WANT MY, I WANT MY, I WANT MY MY BBK! Oh, Ichiro, "DOMO ARIGATO, Mr. Roboto"!

Backyard Baseball 2003 is great. It has 4 brand spanking new fields and a lot of new players such as Carlos Delgado of the Toronto Blue Jays and the last year's mvp award winner Ichiro of the Mariners. This game also has some returning players such as Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs and Jason Giambi of the Yanks. Humongous Entertainment has outdone themselves with Backyard Baseball 2003. They made the best backyard game ever!

A Good, Solid game

I think that this game is fun no matter how old you are. It's challages you, but it's not too hard that it makes you want to quit. It has great features, like playing with the pro's, so it's a very good buy.

BBY 2003 is a whole lot better than BBY 2001. Get the picture?
BBY 2003 has rad new sounds like the swings, connections with
the bat & ball etc. New people are doing voices for Vinny, Sunny
and the players. A dissapointment in BBY 2003 is a loss of 3
all-stars: Mark Mcgwire, Mo Vaghn and Cal Ripken Jr. Mac was always avalible for some reason. He was a guy I counted on all
the time. Hit Dog was usually 3rd in the batting order so we could get a man on for Sosa or Mcgwire at cleanup to knock it out of the park. Albert Puljos has replaced Mark Mcgwire for his powerhouse hitting and a Gold Glove kind of guy. Greg Vaghn of the D'Rays has replaced his cousin Mo but Greg will never be as good as the Hit Dog. Jeff Conine has replaced Cal Ripken with a 3000 hit aditude and super at 3rd. Ichiro is just amazing in the outfield, basepath and the plate. BBY 2003 is a "mom can I get this?" kind of game.

Backyard Baseball 2003 is the best game I've ever played. While playing you can pick players that have returned such as K.Griffey Jr., S.Sosa, D.Jeter and many many more! You can also pick newcomers such as I.Suzuki, G.Vaghn, R.Sexson, J.Rollins etc. Backyard Baseball 2003 has came up with 4 new ballparks to hit some dingers, rbi's, singles, doubles, triples and more! You can also pick 30 mlb teams and 31 mlb players because Ja. Giambi and D. Jeter are the 2 Yankees. Take it from me. Backyard baseball 2003 is the #1 game Humongus Entertainment has made. Also the best anyone has made. So go buy Backyard Baseball 2003!

A little disapointing, but still good

I was really excited about this game. The last 2 installments of the Backyard Sports series where good. This one is also. It has new players like Seattle's Iciro and Colorado's Todd Helton. My beloved Twins finally have a good representative in Brad Radke. There's alos Backyard "veterans" (as I call them) like Sammy Sosa of the Cubs, Nomar Garciapara of Boston, and Chipper Jones of Atlanta. Chipper FINALLY goes Lefty when he bats against a right-handed pitcher, unlike 2001. A-Rod and Giambi represnt they're new teams. In the other reviews, people say they are disapointed in the lack of Cal Ripken, Mark McGuire, and Tony Gywen. Maybe it's because their RETIRED. I, on the other hand, miss Kurt Schilling and Pudge. I was very surprised they were left out. Well, at least Schilling should have been in this game. And why is Carlos Beltran the only Royal instead of Mike Sweeney. I still don't get that.
There are big changes between the 2 games. The format is unchanged, but there are new voices for all the players, I think. Some sound a lot like the older versions, but some are really different. Like Sunny Day. I can't tell her voice apart from Vinnie the Gooch. They took out the online play, too. I think Humongus or Infogrames trashed that feature. It's also a little slow on my PC. It still good though. For being a good game at a [good] price, I give it 5 stars.
