You can customize them if you want and that is cool, but what I really like is the way the game will track stats and it even has a hall of fame which for a stats nerd like me was a lot of fun. What is neat about that is you can pick all kinds of options ranging from the park you play in, the difficulty, how long the game lasts and so on.īackyard Baseball 2003 also puts a lot of effort into the actual players. The season is very addictive, but if you want to just jump in and have a quick game you can do that. You need to uncompress the 7z archive using the proper software (please use.

This is the perfect blend of realistic baseball action and arcade fun and as a result, it is very addictive. Backyard Baseball 2003 actually plays a really great game of baseball.

However, there is so much charm here and I do think that things look that little bit sharper and the kids look awesome and just like the kids you would play with at recess when you were at school.

I know that you could easily make the argument that Backyard Baseball 2003 does not look a whole lot different from the previous game and that is fair.

One of my favorite aspects of the series is the presentation.
