No matter which mode is selected, players use a cursor-based system for both pitching and hitting. Batting Practice is designed to help players familiarize themselves with the hitting interface as they take their cracks at various pitch types. Each Backyard Baseball season spans 18 or 32 games, with individual and team statistics tracked and saved to the hard drive. Players can also create their own child prodigy by selecting hair color, skin, body type, accessories, and more before assigning a certain number of skill points.Ĭreated players are used in Season Mode, where they earn experience points used to increase their attributes. Each character is rated from one to ten in the following areas: power, contact, pitching, running, and defense. No matter which team is selected, players must pick and choose members in true playground fashion. More than ten fields are available, from a beach and parking lot to a swampland and junkyard. Single Game has players selecting two teams from a pool of 40, adjusting options such as difficulty level, game length, home field, and whether or not to include power-ups.

They'll compete along with 30 Backyard Kids, a combination of girls and boys, in the following three modes of play: Single Game, Season Play, and Batting Practice. Featured pros include Sammy Sosa, Randy Johnson, Mike Piazza, Shawn Green, Barry Bonds, Ichiro Suzuki, Pedro Martinez, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and more. The twist is that the "real" players in the game appear as children along with the rest of the sandlot lineup.
