Backyard Basketball 2004 review:5 stars (GREAT!) - The game is nice.It is very easy.I also like the pros.It is a rearly good game.
4 stars (Good, But Not Great) - This is a good game, but I have a few reccomendations and I have found a few flaws. Here is a list of them.
Mr.Clanky - It is cool that you unlock him after you win the backyard world series but you can`t put him on your normal team, in fact you can only use him in a single game!
players - they are basicly good but their skill ratings are a little off on a few of them, for instance a person who the game says is great at batting, like Barry Bonds can really be pretty bad at it.
trading - I haven`t gotten far but I am pretty confident that there is not and will not be a trading option, and i think that it would be cool if you could trade with other players or the computer.
skills - It would be nice if your players skill ratings increased with the experience they get from games.
graphics - The graphics are ok but not anything special.
I think this is a good game and that is why I gave it four stars, so I can`t wait to get the upcoming versions. 3 stars (Iffy buy) - Well when I first played this game I was thinking that this is far to easy of a game. I learned how to make it a lot more difficult though by just letting the computer pick your team. If you are not an expert at gaming, you will find this game very easy. PS If you had Ichiro it would say he has almost all power but when u swing he can't hit the ball out of the infield (dont use power with him) Backyard Basketball 2004 Features: Computer Games Sports Simulators (Simulation) Basketball Computer software (programs) Kids (Children) CD ESRB Rating: Everyone Genre: Sports Mission: Featuring awesome power-ups, all 30 NBA team logos, 7 unique courts and stats galore.
