Been playing Backyard Baseball ’01 for a couple months now. It’s basically a classic baseball game with the Backyard Sports kids – you can create your own team, customize their uniforms, and play through a full season or just do pick-up games. There’s a ton of different characters to choose from, both Backyard kids and pro legends, which is pretty cool. The gameplay is easy to pick up but there’s still some strategy involved in things like positioning your players and managing your lineup. And the graphics hold up really well, even on older phones. Took me a while to get used to the controls but once you figure them out it’s pretty smooth.
Look, if you’re a fan of baseball or the Backyard Sports series, you’ll probably have a blast with this. It’s not super deep or anything, but it’s a fun casual game that just makes you smile. I’d say it’s a pretty good time killer when you’ve got a few minutes to spare.
