Backyard Baseball '01 Positive Reviews

A classic nostalgic childhoodPlaying this game as a kid was a core memory for me. It's a fantastic way to introduce new generations to baseball and get families involved in sports together. My favorite character is Kenny Kawaguchi; his use of a wheelchair is a great example of the game's focus on inclusion. For a modern re-release, adding cloud save functionality is essential. This would allow players to access their game progress across all their devices, from an iPhone to an iPad. Additionally, releasing a version for Mac computers would open the game up to a wider audience. Additionally, this game needs to tweak to be more touch responsive Ultimately, Backyard Baseball '01 remains a delightful trip down memory lane. While it could use a few modern tweaks like cloud saves and better touch responsiveness, its timeless charm, inclusive characters like Kenny Kawaguchi, and simple, fun gameplay make it a must-play for anyone who wants to revisit their childhood or share the joy of baseball with a new generation..St0rm2Version: 1.4.28

Childhood classicI still own my copy on disc from all those years ago. But being able to play this on my phone now is nuts. It’s the same game that it was then and now I can take it anywhere. It’s a shame that 3 of the players aren’t in the game but they’re actually replaced with some solid created players. Also I wish the old player baseball cards for mlb players were still in the game, but maybe that was a copyright issue. The old bugs I’ve found are in my season mode the created player “Chase Walton” I think, has no stamina lose when pitching. His stamina goes down very slow and resets each inning to 100%. Other than that the controls are fine and the game runs smooth. And maybe it’s my memory but I could have swore Pablo was stronger and some of the others were a little faster, Kenny Loften and Pete wheeler in particular. But all in all I’m glad this classic lives on.Franco4545Version: 1.4.14

Just like I remember except…2 iPhone specific fixes I would recommend to the Devs: 1. The iPhone “home” bar at bottom of the screen should fade out in full screen apps like this. Currently it does not, it is constant and blocking a portion of the game. (iPhone 11, iOS 18.1) 2. I understand this is not a 16:9 game but if you’re sticking a stationary non-changing background image behind the game, players now have to worry about screen burn-in, especially when playing the game for long periods of time. It just seems like this was an after thought and I would prefer it be black or animated or fade out every so often so I’m not worried about screen burn-in. The game itself is just like I remember, but really well optimized for the iPhone! I honestly cant believe you guys removed the Oakland from the Athletics. I’m sure MLB made you do that, but it breaks my heart no city even wants to be associated with my favorite team and this greedy owner. 💚💛 Anyway, great game, I loved playing when I was young and great job by the devs to bring it to iPhone in its practically original form!.IPhoneFan700Version: 1.4.28

ClassicGlad to finally see Backyard Baseball 2001! Can’t wait for all the other Backyard Sports to be released. I’ve been playing BYB ‘97 and really like ‘01. I did notice the strike zone is tight on ‘01, and the ball will be a strike if it touches the edge of the strike zone unlike ‘97. Hitting seems easier on ‘01. I like how you can speed up batting practice after you hit the ball. I also like the sound notifying you of a power up earned. It would be nice to have an explanation before the game starts as to why a certain player gets skill points taken away or added (ex: playing against rival team, etc.) Overall great game. Wish there was an online mode for all of the BYS app games..AfgjvddniycssfVersion: 1.4.16

Nostalgic but finickyThe game is great, brings back very fond memories from my childhood. The change over to IOS is a little buggy. My biggest issue is when hitting, I’ll tap the screen to swing the back but it doesn’t register. It’s frustrating when that happens, as well as when fielding, I’ll tap on the green spot where the ball is going. The fielder will be in the position and will still drop the ball. Maybe that’s something I don’t remember much from my childhood but if they could add a button on the side of the screen to make batting easier that’d be great.DirtymaloogVersion: 1.4.16

Nostalgic, needs a tweak here and thereReally enjoying playing this game. A couple things to fix would be 1) during a pop fly, if you have any runners on base and have them run to the next base, the game won’t let you have them turn around, even by mistake until the ball is caught. Makes it a little frustrating. 2) The strike zone is inconsistent. I’m playing on medium mode and pitches that are on the outside are called strikes. Other than that, I’ve really enjoyed the experience..LegendarycatsVersion: 1.4.16

Nostalgia needs helpI loved the Backyard Franchise. I had and played most of them as a kid. So seeing this game come back was awesome. However, the game has at least one fatal flaw, “SCUMMERROR” (3,2101 Out of array pointers). I keep getting this error no matter how many different teams I start or delete. It’s getting to the point where I don’t want to keep trying to load up a game. The developers need to patch this ASAP. It’s a great game aside from that..ZachMac136Version: 1.4.16

Fun game and has potential but needs some patchesThe hitting mechanic is tough as your fingers get in the way of seeing the timing. Would love the option of a hit button in the bottom left corner instead of having to block my own view. Also in audio controls would really really love the ability to turn off the heckling audio. I like the game sounds but the repetitive lines really get old fast. I think a few small updates and this game would have a lot of playability..OTballerVersion: 1.4.16

Really good but bugs crash gameThe game was working perfectly since I bought it last week. It took some time getting used to the touch aspect of the game but the feel of it is just as I remembered. Unfortunately now the game crashes giving you a "scumerror" and closes the app. Can't continue playing the season I have saved as the error just keeps reappearing when I try to resume the season. Don't feel like starting a new one yet. Hope they fix this soon..WilodrozVersion: 1.4.16

Takes me backBackyard Baseball 2001 is pure nostalgia and still an absolute blast to play. The mix of real MLB legends like Derek Jeter and Cal Ripken Jr. with a cast of lovable neighborhood kids makes every game feel like a Saturday morning cartoon. The mechanics are simple but satisfying, the commentary is hilarious, and the ballparks are packed with quirky charm. Pablo Sanchez is still the undisputed GOAT. Whether you’re replaying it for the memories or discovering it for the first time, this game nails fun in its purest form. A timeless classic..JoeShmo1010Version: 1.4.12

SCUMMERROR bugThe game itself was really fun and had generally the same feeling that it had before. But, after I finished my season and headed toward the playoffs, this SCUMMERROR appeared on my screen and kicked me out of the game. I tried again and the same thing happened. I had to start a new season, I haven’t made it to the playoffs yet but they need to fix that bug first. Everything else was really fun though..EzraszdVersion: 1.4.16

So much nostalgia!The game plays exactly like I remember, so much fun to play! However, if you do season play and get into the playoffs you’ll get a lot of in-game errors, and the game kicks you out. I’m currently stuck at the last pitch of the League Championship, but I can’t finish the game, because when I go to leave the end-game screen, an error pops up..Great game, needs some helpVersion: 1.4.16

Array errorAfter first playoff series in season mode I get an error, like that’s the end of the game they cared to program. Lazy? I paid $5 for this, same for 97. And even dropped 10 on the steam and couldn’t make it work. Love the game but it’s too easy too, even on hard with no indicator. Head to head online would be a nice addition..Skid nickmoreVersion: 1.4.28

Constant freeze/glitchGreat game just how I remembered as a kid. However, when I select a pitch and try to deliver a pitch it won’t let me, same when I’m at bat, I’ll try to swing at a pitch and it doesn’t swing. I’m constantly having to back out of the app and go back to fix this bug but it happens over 10 times a game….Pablo SanchezzzVersion: 1.4.16

Amazing game needs fixingBackyard baseball 2001 is a amazing game but when you play it for a while is gets to a point where it says out of array pointers no matter how many times you delete or restart it other than that great game devs please fix this now.Crazy Zebra 2001Version: 1.4.16

Controller supportPlease add controller support for all Backyard Sports games. Thank you! Love your games! Also, allow manual tag up, because it’s annoying to have double plays from the other team when your player’s halfway or more to the next base..Micah26soccerVersion: 1.4.31

It’s good but there’s some mistakesIt’s good and all just like the original one, but there’s some mistakes, 1. There making bad calls, such as and outside ball, called it a strike. 2. There was a ball on the ground and was bouncing, it went away from the screen, and they called it a home run instead of a double. Please fix the mistakes..AhhhhhhhhhjygghVersion: 1.4.16

Please increase difficulty!This game is amazing, but it’s simply too easy. I have the difficulty set to hard, and the computer still makes numerous errors and poor decisions in the field. Can we please get a mod to increase the difficulty!?!?.Tooooo Easy!!!Version: 1.4.16

Soft locked out of Season modeFor some reason whenever I click the season mode team page the game reloads the intro and kicks me back to the club house, and no matter how many times I restart the game it keeps happening. Please fix..Superman dolphinVersion: 1.4.12

Fun gameI love this game it’s definitely bringing back some nostalgia. However recently my game has started giving me an error message and crashing and I can’t continue to the next thing. Error message says: [34,131] array read 35[6][0] out of bounds, dim [0….5] [0…3] this message comes up and then the game crashes and I’m back to the last thing I did..Shannon HanksVersion: 1.4.16

Full screen option?I absolutely adore the game. I have it installed on my PC because it’s incredibly enjoyable to play. However, playing the game on my iPhone 16 Max with its small screen makes the game significantly more challenging for me. If the developers could release a patch update that enables a full-screen mode, it would be a fantastic addition..Hospital WarsVersion: 1.4.16

Needs fixingI want to love this game so badly, idk if it’s my phone screen or what but trying to swing at pitches is driving me insane. I’ll click to swing and they won’t swing. This has happened since I downloaded it. It’s super annoying. Other than that it’s awesome super nostalgic, but any suggestions to getting that fixed please let me know..IanmillalVersion: 1.4.28

Very bad glitch for the season modeThis glitch needs to be fixed, the glitch in question is when you are playing season mode randomly SCUMMERROR will pop up and make you get kicked out and have to restart. It makes the season mode unplayable because you cannot avoid it..HAR ROYVersion: 1.4.16

Please bring to PlayStation !Purchased 97 version on my PlayStation love it as good as it was 20+ years ago, I hope you bring the 01 version to PlayStation love it on the phone, will be even better on the big screen !.GejoeeVersion: 1.4.14

NostalgiaGame is just like I remember! Game has crashed a couple of times but overall game play is just how I remember the original. Pete stealing bases and Pablo smashing dingers! Crash says out of Array Pointers. Doing it almost every batter now. 1st 4 games no issues..Duke84802Version: 1.4.12

Love it…butLove the game…just like it was back in the day. Running into an issue where the game crashes on because “Insufficient Array Points.” After about the 12th game I’ve played on it’s been happening quite frequently. Hope it’s just a bug issue that can be fixed soon!.Hal’s ReviewVersion: 1.4.16

Good and fun to playIn the playoffs I had my second strike and hit a foul and kept getting out that happened a bunch of times but other than that it’s a pretty good game that you can play on road trips or something.Caleb pogVersion: 1.4.28

Game breaking errorReally fun and nostalgic experience but if you’re like me and play season mode you may want to wait for a patch. I can’t get past game 6/7 on any season without getting a SCUMM ERROR that crashes that season mode, rendering it unplayable. Happened on iPad and iPhone. I know they’re working on it!.AtomButeVersion: 1.4.16

Nostalgia but..This has been a great game so far. Really bringing back memories of playing as a kid. I hope they are able to update it and get Ken Griffey Jr back in the game. Also as of yesterday I have been crashing a bunch….. something about a SCUMMERROR. It is making the game unplayable..Hashketchum20Version: 1.4.14

GameThe game brings back the nostalgia. But it lack everywhere else. The game moves slower than the original, you nerfed Pablo and others. Just make it like the original and stop changing things. Last I checked it was the Cleveland Indians in 01 not the guardians. Stop with the woke. Recreate the original for mobile.Fishwalker1Version: 1.4.14

Defense difficultPlaying on an iPhone, it’s difficult to line up my outfielders to catch a fly ball. Also the players don’t seem to follow where I want them to throw. Enjoy the nostalgia but wish I were playing this on a PC.SR150185719Version: 1.4.16

Amazing sequel to the seriesThis games great and I literally cant believe it originally came out in 2000! I like its newer graphics and love the mlb players and I’m glad you guys could fix the glitches!.MrMcChickenNuggetManVersion: 1.4.28

Thumb buttonsGreat nostalgic game. Add thumb bottoms in the green space on the side of the screen - one side for swinging, one side for changing stances. It too clumsy to use your finger in that small area too do both. Would be a massive improvement..Soccerkid966Version: 1.4.16

With they had KGJThe game works great! I know they will fix the little bugs but I wish they could get KGJ to agree to being on the game as he was my favorite player growing up..Manpit12Version: 1.4.16

So much fun!!!This game is sooooo much fun for me! I like the graphics for some reason bcuz it is old school mode, i also like Pablo Sánchez because he is the goat in this game of backyard baseball ⚾️ Thank you Playground Productions.FordygiddyVersion: 1.4.31

Excellent re-releaseThank you so much for bringing these classics back. Game has been super stable on my M2 iPad Pro. I have gone through 3 seasons with no issues..UncleOleVersion: 1.4.28

Error message in season modeEvery time I hit the ball and put it into play my app crashes with either the scum or array pointer errors, please fix 👍.Jumbooooo284?Version: 1.4.16

THANK YOUI’m so happy that this is on the iPhone now! So much fun to play and so nostalgic. I’ve bought Backyard Baseball ‘97 not too long ago and it played amazingly. This game also plays as amazing!.R1chm0nVersion: 1.4.14

WHAT A WORLDOne could only dream of days like this. So stoked to have one of my all-time favorite games on mobile. The gameplay is fantastic. So many great memories brought back to life!.Ingen employee #7689Version: 1.4.12

Base running glitchBase running needs to be fixed. The players will not go back on fly balls no matter how many times you press. Automatic double play on pop ups..Bobbya1024Version: 1.4.16

Missing Key Players & ScrummError prevents gameplay.No Ken Griffey Jr. and two others. Otherwise would be a 5 star. 4th game in my season I keep getting scrummError which stops app and closes it. Please update and fix the product I bought this game came out in 2001!.EmpireliftsbackVersion: 1.4.16

Very EnjoyableOverall have greatly enjoyed playing this again. Unfortunately, I’m in the championship and I keep getting a “Scummerror: Out of Array Pointers” error and it keeps crashing the game..BStets5Version: 1.4.16

ClassicI think it's a great classic game that plays well if you don't understand the game u might not like it but it's just how I left it amazing.JordanbuttVersion: 1.4.31

Missing Players!Man I LOVED playing this game back in the day! So happy to see it’s an iOS app especially after playing the BYB ‘97 app. But disappointed that the game is missing some mlb players (Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr, etc). Hoping an update will add them back in as opposed to new custom characters..Downey91Version: 1.4.28

5-star game…wish it was full screen on phone.The game is an absolute classic and a blast but wish they had redone it for mobile devices to go full screen.Hami0674Version: 1.4.16
