Really really fun game. Enjoyed getting reintroduced to the old character I played from the original Backyard Baseball. The graphics and the soundtrack really brings me back! > Overall fun game > Has tons of replay value > Preserved the charm of the original characters > Has a few bugs here and there, but that is to be expected from a newly released title

Huge fan of the series, and was extremely excited to play a new entry after all these years! Unfortunately, the game lacks polish in ways that are glaring, so much so that I requested a refund and would not recommend others buy it unless significant work is done to clean this game up. My two biggest issues were with the commentary and with the controls. Game Commentators Commentary brings back the two familiar voices from the OG games, but it feels lower quality -- commentators talk over each other, each "non-canon" player are all referred to as "the newcomer", unrelated and inapplicable commentary lines are spoken seemingly randomly. It got so annoying and grating that after just thirty minutes of having commentary on, I opted to mute them in game settings just to maintain my sanity. Controls As someone who was a big fan of the original games, I loved being able to control the game with just my mouse as a point-and-click sports game. However, this control scheme was horrible. UI elements would pop in and out. Trying to throw to the correct player when fielding was a nightmare (I constantly would throw to the wrong player despite clicking very directly on the person I wanted to throw to). Sending runners back was impossible unless you use keyboard, so players got picked off often. Credit where credit is due - pitching and batting both felt great. I've also heard that the controller controls were a lot better than keyboard and mouse. I didn't choose to play it that way though, because I wanted the point-and-click experience. Overall, I'm really disappointed that I didn't love this game. I wanted to love it so badly. I will be going back to play the originals to get my fix, and I hope one day I can revisit this game if they ever clean up the flaws.
