I have been playing Backyard Games for over 25 years and these are my opinions after day 1 of playing this new game. Overall Grade: B+ Nobody did anything with this franchise for many years and I have to give props to the Dev on this one. They gave us something new and they clearly worked hard on it. They made a lot of things better while staying true to the classic games. I'm going to itemize my opinions from here on. Batting: No notes. They nailed it. Pitching: Great job. My only complaint is that extra juice is worked in with the powerup pitches instead of being it's own thing. In the old games you earned it every 3 K's. Fielding: Not as good as it could be. But also not as bad as a lot of reviewers are saying. It's different than the old games. It would definitely help if the players moved towards the ball on their own after it was hit. It would also help a lot if we could queue our throws like we could in the old games. Stadiums: Amazing job on updating the stadiums while staying true to the old decor and overall vibe. Graphics: It feels weird after all these years playing in 2D. But I think the Dev did a great job with the overall look of the game. Game Modes: Happy so far. The card packs are fun. I do wish there was a more extensive league and playoff format. Excited for online. Characters: Great job on the classic backyard kids and including create-a-character. My only complaint is that the old school CPU characters do not all have their pictures in the game. But still very happy to see them included and the retro cards of them are super fun to see. Difficulty Settings: There seems to be a huge gap in difficulty between each setting. The 2 Star setting seems to be the most authentic to the old games. A little too easy but still fun. The 3 star setting was way too hard for trying to get used to the game's mechanics. Something in between would be nice. For reference, I always played on the "Hard" setting on the old games. Other notes: The Gatorade branded team is weird, but it's fine I guess. The extra powerups associated with it are fun. I love the expanded Innings settings. 6 is still the sweet spot, but its nice to have the option to play shorter games. The price point is certainly high, but if you are like me, a lifelong fan and player of the franchise, It's still worth it. Hoping for some helpful updates and patches in the near future. And can't wait to see what the Dev might do with Football and Soccer. This is what we have been waiting for for years. Let's enjoy it for what it is. <3
AAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
There's a lot of potential for this game, but the bugs and the insane profanity filter is a major killer for the price. Heavily recommend to wait until more of the bugs are addressed and multiplayer is available before dropping $40 on this game, or wait for it to go on sale at some point. (I'd pay at most $20 for what this game currently has, and admittedly, I'm only willing to pay this high because of the nostalgia factor)
its so fun when you buy it
I'm glad the dev's seem committed to continuing updates for this game, because the artstyle & overall vibe is there but there are definitely some bugs & issues that I'd wait 'til sale if you're offput by those kinds of things at the price-point, you're not missing anything by not playing it close to launch. Rant about a specific bug I've been having... put in spoiler to spare your eyes if you don't care: [spoiler] My issue has been resolution/aspect ratio related. I run a 2 monitor setup and target my 4k tv in steam bigmode, however I often have to switch between windowed, borderless windowed, and fullscreen and change resolution until it renders correctly, seemingly magically. What I mean is: Sometimes the game will render 4k but the aspect ratio will be messed up in both window modes without being able to manually resize, which looks like the game is a vertical video with the rest of the menus/game chopped off. So I'll move over to fullscreen which will technically be in 4k but stretches everything horizontally so it looks a squinty and weird, like if you were in photoshop and stretched an image. After this I'll either have to experiment with lower resolutions and see which one wants to cooperate and settle for chunky visuals, or sometimes I'll flip back to the 4k resolution and it'll work like nothing happened. It's a chaotically inconsistently consistent problem I seem to run into, and don't know if it's me, all I know is I've never encountered this problem in my extensive gaming library. [/spoiler] When playing the game however I've been satisfied with all the added content as well as the core gameplay which is quite faithful to the originals, particularly enjoy that their is now a day/night selection, other settings that help tailor the game to your play-style, and there is unlockable characters/content. There's not much else to say, but I'm also not that sweaty of a sports gamer, I didn't really have high expectations for this game considering the original is a kids game, and I'd say this game could still easily be played by children, but some of original skewmorphic design has been swapped out for modern visual ques, which helps the remaster image, but also made some gameplay mechanics less obvious that I had to brush up on (I skipped the tutorial thinking I knew this game like the back of Pablo Sanchez's backwards baseball cap). With time spent on fixes, and online multiplayer eventually being a feature this will definitely be a fresh way to revisit the Backyard Baseball franchise, and I still recommend this if you're already kind of bought in to the idea of a backyard baseball with a fresh coat of paint, but I don't recommend if you're expecting a transformative experience.
Loving the game so far, can't wait to see what future content is planned. Could be something really special if the updates stay strong
its like the og but better and the wiggle ball mode is fun
