But you see how terrible they are at fielding so I need to rely on solid pitching. The game optimized my players for the positions to which they are best suited.
With the help of the Backyard Baseball subreddit, I chose the following. I downloaded Backyard Baseball 2003, set the difficulty on hard, removed the pitch locator, and started picking the kids with the lowest overall stats in batting, running, pitching, and fielding. Spoiler alert: if you do this you will have loads of fun and loads of misery. It was time to revisit an easy kids game and see if I could make it a challenging experience for a veteran gamer. I never bothered playing with the crappy kids like Kimmy Eckman or Ricky Johnson.īut who doesn’t like a good underdog story akin to Bad News Bears? After watching the 2005 remake of that movie with Billy Bob Thornton, I felt inspired to take a ragtag group of misfits and see if I could, in fact, polish a turd. Of course, Backyard Baseball was fun because you would stack your team with the likes of Pablo Sanchez, Kiesha Phillips, Amir Khan, and Pete Wheeler. Did anyone else just sit in the outfield and pick blades of grass because the ball never came to you? At times, it was better than playing the actual sport.
I wasted a lot of summers playing Backyard Baseball in the late 90s and early 2000s.
