ADDITIONAL INFORMATION At our core, we are fans first – not just of video games, but of the Backyard Sports franchise. Fans have asked for accessible and legal ways to play their original Backyard titles for years, and we are excited to deliver. Without having access to the source code, there are hard limitations on the experience we can create. As an example, we can’t use the original 32bit code to support modern macOS, as even with an incredibly clever wrapper, macOS can’t execute the binaries. Backyard Baseball ‘01 runs well, looks better than ever, includes new bonus features to test your mettle, and creates a new installation for digital preservation within the Backyard Sports catalog that allows the next generation of fans to fall in love with the game.

Gameplay is bad and very slow
Borderline unplayable. Hitting seems to have random outcomes and the game is so slow it’s nearly unplayable. Way too much time between pitches and the controls need to be way more responsive. Half the time I tap the screen to swing or pitch and nothing happens

Better on the computer
I was so happy to find this app. I’ve spent too many hours playing this game as a kid. It’s pretty much the exact same game. However, it just doesn’t work the same way on an iPhone .

I don’t like this game
The ball hit the floor about 1 infinite times and was still called out of the park home run.

Great game, missing some things
Overall a really great game that reminds me of my childhood. The only thing i’d say is missing is controller support. I also wish the few players that didn’t come back were replaced with other players (maybe some mlb stars of today).

It is a great game
This game is awesome I like everyone having good stats and thank you for the Jorge Garcia boost and I like that they changed the balls to 10 and not 4 but this is the best game I ever played

Background chatter is so annoying
The players constantly repeat the same lines over and over “we want a batter not a broken ladder” . You need to have the option to mute these sounds. You can mute music, commentary, background sounds, or all sounds but you can’t mute these stupid comments from the players. It’s obnoxious how often they chatter in a game.
