Nov 16, 2014 A family favorite. Whack a ball out of the park! You get to choose a team at first with options of season pickup or practice. The insanely adorable kids are in the stands! You can even customize a player! Then you play a realistic game of baseball. They say things like 'We want a batter not a broken ladder!' And 'We want a pitcher not a belly. May 20, 2016 Amir cant pitch Ronny Dobbs cant pitch Pablo can pitch but gets tired way to fast Gretchen cant pitch Ricky is trash I guess DANTE STRETCH ROBINSON has to win it for us.

Then you play a realistic game of baseball. They say things like 'We want a batter not a broken ladder!' 5.0 out of 5 stars Ryan's backyard review. July 15, 2009. Backyard Batter Pro soft toss machine. Best on the market today. Automated and portable machine. Plug it in or use the rechargeable battery. Holds baseballs, softballs and tennis balls. Great for your basement or take tothe field. Great for travel teams, college teams, high schools or youth leagues. The obvious number 1 and GOAT of Backyard Baseball is Pablo Sanchez — The Secret Weapon, he has nearly maxed out stats, and is the best character in the game. You pick him number 1, every time. Way too OP for a children’s sports game. He bats fourth in the line-up, with bases loaded, and it’s game over.

Unused Graphics
Placeholder Headshots
The game contains a full set of placeholder character headshots for the strategy menu. They're stored in a different format from the final versions, which suggests the menu was overhauled at some point and the old graphics were forgotten about.
For what it's worth, this is probably the earliest available artwork showing the characters hatless.

Room Backgrounds
Several of the game's rooms are used only for storing data and don't need a background, but all of them have one anyway. Some are just blank, but a few are more interesting.
Rooms 16 and 19 store the background chatter for the female and male characters, respectively. Their background consists of the handwritten message 'Stupid talkies' against a very eye-displeasing background.
Room 22 contains the batting animations and this quirky message.
Room 25 holds most of the baseball logic, and a similar message to room 22.
Humongous Vision
A few placeholder graphics for the Humongous Vision display are still in the game.
Final |
---|
This seems to be how the board looked early in development. Assuming it had the same placement at that point, the green bit at the bottom is the center point of the home run fence.
Final |
---|
A placeholder version of the infield fly rule screen.
It's not clear what this is, but it's obviously meant to fit into the same 'slot' as the early Humongous Vision graphics. Possibly it was meant to simulate fields without the display for testing. Most likely, the brown thing on the right connected to some other placeholder graphic, now lost.
Collision Maps
There are several graphics in the game data which, when assembled and overlaid onto the baseball fields, seem to mark parts of the collision data for each area. They're incomplete, though every field except Tin Can Alley has at least one.

The odd streak on the second base line is actually part of the tree graphic overlay in the bottom-right corner, so it's definitely in the right place. Who knows what it's doing there.

For some reason, a Steele Stadium component is stored with the Sandy Flats pieces.

A 'TEMP' version of the tournament bracket menu icon snuck into the final game.
This save/load preview placeholder is present in several other Humongous games. This game displays the teams and score instead of a graphical preview, so presumably this is just left over from whichever game this was built off of.
Camera Debugger
This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: See if there's some way to make this do whatever it's supposed to. |
Room 6 seems to be the remnants of a camera debugging system, probably related to the pseudo-3D gameplay in the overhead field view. The buttons on the control panel are apparently programmed to adjust the specified parameters and print relevant debug text like 'camera X angle is %d', and there are several scripts in the room that are obviously meant to do something, but it's not clear how this is supposed to be loaded or whether it still works.
Unused Dialogue
To do: There's likely lots more. |

Apparently Sunny Day was supposed to read out the text for the game's menus, which are silent in the finished game. These files appear at the very beginning of the dialogue file along with several other unused lines below, suggesting they were moved there when this feature was cut, then forgotten about.

Players at Bat
The only thing Sunny Day says when generic players are up at bat in Baseball '97 is 'steps up to bat', but she has unused variations that would eventually go used in the Major League licensed editions that add pros.

Color Commentary
A few of Vinnie's lines go unused. Like Sunny's lines above, these are at the very beginning of the dialogue file.

The force is off, so the best play is at first. | |
I think this pitcher should mix up the pitches a bit, because the batter's going to figure it out if you keep throwing the same pitch. | |
Gotta keep an eye on that juice meter. When the juice is low, so is the pitcher's accuracy. | |
Might want to try changing up the batting stance.. |
Wrong-Way Baserunning
There are several clips of Sunny and Vinnie reacting to players running around the bases the wrong way. Although this is occasionally alluded to in the game, it can never actually happen.

Well, Sunny, we've got one confused kid out there! | |
My, oh my! She's running in the wrong direction! | |
You gotta wonder what's going on in his head. |
'And a Miss'
Sunny has a few lines related to receiving a strike by 'missing'. It's possible there was originally some element of aiming the swing rather than just timing it, or these were just generic variations on the regular messages that were cut because they could be misinterpreted as implying this feature existed.
File | Subtitles |

and a miss! | |
and a miss.. Strike 1 | |
and a miss.. Strike 2 | |

Other
A clip of Sunny saying 'Tags her!', but for some reason it's incorrectly sampled to play at half-speed (and also with some very bad audio feedback).
Here's what it should sound like normally.
Unused Text
Subtitles
Most Humongous games have inaccessible subtitles, and this one is no exception. Unlike most games, adding 'TextOn=1' to the game's configuration file does not turn them on, making ScummVM the most practical way to see them.
Debug Output
To do: Document. |
Also like most Humongous games, this one contains a slew of console debug output. The easiest way to view it is to run the game in ScummVM and set the debug level to 0 or higher.

Description of Backyard Baseball Windows
Read Full ReviewHome Run Park
Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money. A game where multi-million dollar contracts are unknown. A game where everyone gets to play. Imagine a game just like it was with the youthful innocence of a child. This, my friends, is Backyard Baseball. Backyard Baseballtakes you back to when you were a kid, when baseball was a game, and the team was hastily put together among the kids in the neighborhood.
Playing for Real
Humongous Entertainment reached back into the past and captured all those childhood memories of baseball and digitally assembled them into this game. All the details that make the memories real are here - from the kids taunting the pitcher to the child with the asthma inhaler. Do you remember picking teams, taking turns picking from the best players until only the bad players were left? Do you remember picking someone's little brother because his big brother was a good player? It's all here. Nothing was left out.
Players choose from fields such as the sandlot, the urban parking lot, and the rich kid's backyard. Pitchers throw crazy pitches such as the 'Elevator' and the 'Crazy Ball.' Background ambient noises and the taunting by the opposing team add to the rich atmosphere that you can almost smell.
Everything about this game is charming and cute.
Swing and Miss
![Backyard baseball we want a battery Backyard baseball we want a battery](/uploads/1/2/5/5/125578102/491439698.png)
Gameplay includes all the necessary elements. Pitchers choose the pitch as well as the placement. Hitters swing at the ball and can even see the strike zone. Fielding is accomplished by clicking where you want the ball thrown, and running is as simple as clicking in the direction you want the runner to advance. Everything is here, and everything is easy enough for kids. The pace is a little slow, but not too fast for children. Each batter has a distinct personality - from the boy who hops to the plate to the girl who says 'my game is really tennis, anyway' when she strikes out. I was extremely impressed with all the details of each character.
I have a few complaints about the game. This game doesn't install any files to the hard disk - everything is run from the CD. For some reason, each swing of the bat causes the CD to be read. This makes the animation choppy and the mouse click to hit feels sluggish and unresponsive. While the game is playable with this problem, it makes hitting the ball a little difficult. Instead of getting better the more balls I hit, I never really improved. I think this is because I never was able to time when I hit the mouse button and the player started their swing. That little delay when it read from the CD just ruins the hand/eye coordination.
I tried copying the entire 270MB of CD data to the hard disk to see if that improved performance (note: this is not an option in the install menu, I just copied it by dragging the contents of the CD into a new folder on my hard disk.) It did speed up the game somewhat, but the batting problem didn't improve significantly.
I also encountered one bug: I hit a ball that bounced infield, then over the fence for what should have been a double. The announcer even stated this was a double, but the runner advanced only to first.
Worthy of Praise
This game is terrific and has all the elements of a Gold Medal winner. But I can't do it. The delay in clicking the mouse and the batter swinging the ball just ruins it for me. I still like the game a lot and highly recommend it, but a Gold Medal is for games without such evident flaws. I guess I'm mad because this should have been corrected. Even a little play testing would have shown that this was a problem. Instead, we are left with what could have been a 'Game of the Year,' but instead fails to deliver on one very important game element.

His football shaped head provides plenty of landing space for his hat when his little hop propels it into the air. Ronny once started a game for the Mighty Wombats but had to come out of the game in the first inning because opposing hitter tony Delvecchio growled at him. Backyard baseball meme. Ronny keeps a smile on at all times, but can be scared easily by just about every hitter.
