That Classic Style

The first thing I have to mention is the presentation. I am a big fan of the way the whole Backyard series of games looks and this one is no different. They do all share a similar art style, but I feel that Backyard Baseball 2001 has more chunky and well defined kids and characters and it gives the game a lot more personality.Also while this is a game about kids playing baseball, it does actually have the MLB license so that is really cool and makes the game even more fun. They have the likenesses of many players, but it in kid form so that is awesome.

Plenty To Do

The game modes are exactly what you would expect from a game in the Backyard Sports series. Backyard Baseball allows you to play a single game. This mode lets you change the difficulty level from tee-ball all the way to hard. You can change innings, errors pick your stadium and so on. It is a great way to learn the basics of the game.You also have Season Play which is Backyard Baseball 2001's main game mode. Here you will take your ragtag group of kids on a quest to win different championships. This is way more fun than it should be. If you do well here your players can be in the Hall of Fame. Speaking of players there is a trading card book where you can learn more about the different players.Backyard Baseball 2001 also had an online mode and I am sure there is someone out there who has a server that allows you to play this online. In multiplayer I would bet that this game is an absolute blast! The core gameplay no matter if it is pitching, fielding or batting is very simple and it plays like a 90s arcade-style baseball game. It is just all about having fun and fun is the best way to describe it.

Like A Cartoon

The art style of Backyard Baseball 2001 is great. It really does look like something that would have been on Nickelodeon in the 90s, probably in between Rugrats and Rocko's Modern Life! It has a very charming and wholesome look to it and the way the different 'stadiums' look is very well done too.

Backyard Baseball 2001 is a game I had a lot of fun with. Is this the definitive Backyard Baseball game? I actually think that I would say that this is where the series peaked. Even though games would be released for the next decade on different systems. It is Backyard Baseball 2001 that people seem to most fondly remember. If you are bored of games like MLB The Show and want a fun baseball game, you do not get much more fun than this.

Legacy[edit]

Pablo Sanchez, one of the fictional playable characters in the game, has been regarded as one of the strongest characters in video game history.[2][3][4]

The game has also been noted for its diversity (gender, race) of characters, both in ratio of white to non-white and male to female, as well as skill level and the distribution of the best characters.[5]

Players[edit]

In Backyard Baseball 2001, the Backyard kids are joined by 31 MLB pro players, many of which were all-stars during the 1999 Major League Baseball All Star Game. Eventual Hall of Fame players featured include Barry Larkin, Vladimir Guerrero, Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, Chipper Jones, Derek Jeter, Mike Piazza, Tony Gwynn, Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken Jr., Ivan Rodriguez, and Randy Johnson, who are all playable characters to choose from.

Several of these players would be featured in multiple releases including Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, and Alex Rodriguez.

Power-Ups[edit]

Sometimes accompanying the four standard batting modes (Power, Line Drive, Grounder and Bunt), some beneficial power-ups appear. In the original Backyard Baseball, these batting power-ups appeared when the player got a hit when the computer used a 'crazy pitch' (see below). Starting from Backyard Baseball 2001, the power ups were awarded after a hit off a 'crazy pitch' and when the player turned a double play or triple play on defense. In addition to these batting power-ups, pitching power-ups, or 'crazy pitches,' also progressively appear, though they are much more frequent and in number, occurring whenever the player strikes an opponent out. These pitches consume much more energy and causes the strike zone to expand, so most of the pitches given are never used consecutively. In addition to the 'crazy pitches,' a strikeout may also award the player 'More Juice,' a full energy recharge for the pitcher that can be used when the player sees fit to use it.

Backyard Baseball 2001

Batting Power-Ups

  • Aluminum Power: This power-up is the most valued and can disappear after one or no tries when in use. Players use an aluminum bat to increase the chances to hit a home run.
  • Screaming Line Drive: The power-up last about two uses and appears more frequently. Players hit a fast line drive to the wall and allows the batter to run more or all bases.
  • Under Grounder: This move lasts at least two uses. Players hit a ground ball that goes into the ground, causing the ball to reappear in any random area of the outfield.
  • Crazy Bunt: The move disappears after one or no tries when in use, but if the power-up is used sparingly, the move can last up to four uses. When the ball is hit, the ball rolls around the field erratically as fielders just barely miss catching it.

Pitching Power-Ups

  • Big Freeze: The ball is thrown like normal but suddenly stops just before it enters the strike zone, often faking the hitter into swinging at the pitch.
  • Elevator: The ball is thrown low along the ground and then the ball suddenly jumps into the air at the last moment.
  • Crazyball: the ball 'laughs' when thrown, and it moves in random directions in the air. Easier to hit if swingspot is enabled
  • Corkskrew: The ball makes a spiral motion through the air. Easier to hit if swingspot is enabled
  • Zigzag: The ball makes a zig-zag motion through the air. Easier to hit if swingspot is enabled
  • Slomo: The ball travels very slowly through the air, requiring precise timing to be hit.
  • Spitball: The ball is covered with saliva and jerks in the air.
  • Fireball: One of the most powerful pitches, the ball blazes past the batter in a ball of fire at an incredibly high speed. When used by a player, this pitch is the most draining of the pitcher's stamina.

Batting Power-Ups Acer al2616w driver.

  • Sonic Boom: The player knocks down opposing fielders with a super-powerful shockwave.
  • Rubber Bat: The batter bounce a grounder really high into the air — the player will have a chance to reach base before any fielder catches the ball.
  • Butter Fingers: The player will splatter the opposing fielders with butter. They'll have a slippery time trying to field your hit.
  • Jumping Bean Bunt: This tricky power-up makes the ball jump all over the place!
  • Lightning Bat: Produce tremendous power when you connect with the ball.
  • Geyser Hit: The batter makes the ball burrow deep underground before it suddenly surfaces somewhere in the outfield.
  • Piñata Bat: The batter drives fielders crazy when the ball is hit, the ball multiplies into dozens of bouncing baseballs.
  • Aluminum Bat: Automatic home runs of insane distance.

Pitching Power-Ups

  • The Fang: The Fang looks like a normal curve-ball, but it bites hard at the last second and goes straight into the dirt.
  • Freezer: The Freezer stops just before reaching the strike zone, pauses briefly, and then continues.
  • Slomo: This ball starts moving at ultra-slow speed just before reaching the strike zone.
  • Juice Box: The Juice Box will refill your pitcher's Pitch Juice Box.
  • Rainbow Pop-up: When it's hit, the ball goes straight into the air for an easy out.
  • Crazy Pitch: The Crazy Pitch is so wild that even the pitcher doesn't know where it will go.
  • Splitball: This pitch splits into two separate curve-balls, one of which is a fake, unhittable baseball.
  • Fireball: The Fireball is so fast it can burn a hole in your catcher's glove.
