BACKYARD BASEBALL RULES The rules for Backyard Baseball are a hybrid of Pro and Little League rules: No leading off No Injuries Bunting is allowed Tagging up is allowed Stealing is allowed 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. Backyard Baseball '97 runs buttery smooth for iOS devices, looks better than ever, 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 title that started it all. Heads-up! This version of the game is English-only for now. We're listening to feedback and hope to support more languages in the future!

my son love'd this game
- Angela Eanes · v1.3.2
As much as I love this app and the series it's in, there's still a good chunk of bugs that i won't gloss over! for example, the first times I played this mobile version, some of my base runners disappeared from the screen and it wasn't even the end of an inning! as long as slight crashing on some earlier devices I tried it on, but it runs well on later ones.

I change my mind it's good
- Mason Yesiov · v1.3.2
I can't even get in the game I thought earlier this would be exciting but no it would't,and you can't get a refund,so I just wasted $5.00 on this game for nothing.i'm just so mad at this game i can't believe they launch a game you can't play.

- C straseske · v1.3.2
it would't even let me play the after I bought it and it got done installing I tried everything
- Bailey Willis
It's a really good classic for an almost 29 year old game that I really like playing but some minor improvements are needed for some attention including some glitching going on after playing each game that the season stats goes back to 0.00 no matter how the players do or how many wins I get.
- V-Ball Woman · v1.3.2
there is no way people pay for this game
- Jackson Cram · v1.3.2
PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS, IT IS HORRIBLE. THE ERRORS BARELY LET YOU START AND PLEASE BUY THIS ON STEAM!!!!!!
- Brandon · v1.3.2

- Robert Newland · v1.3.1
great my son loved it
- Ken Fasnacht · v1.3.1
I love the nostalgia of the game itself, however there is one glitch that I've been running into as of late. when you complete the BBL championship the game crashes and won't let you advance to the super entire nation Tournament.

my friend bought it he played it while I was asleep he said it was fun but I can't refund it
- Gio Brooks
The game wouldn't let me play. I could only play it for one hour. It kept giving me a error. Don't buy this game.
- Ksp Cmp · v1.3.0
I love this game, I normally play it on the computer and on there, I have NO PROBLEMS. But then I looked up if backyard baseball was playable on mobile and I found this. I can't even get halfway through my FIRST game without it crashing and I have to redo it. The first time it crashed I thought "Oh that sucks but let me play again" and the second time my team was playing amazing(defensively, not hitting tho...) and all of a sudden during the 5th inning of a 6 inning game the game CRASHES AGAIN.

Pablo's a dawg
- Ethan Hodges · v1.1.17
it don't let me in
- Dalia Corrales mejia · v1.2.01
Update: devs still haven't fixed the input lag. Just got a new phone and the lag is just as bad, so it's definitely the game and not the phone. The input lag when tapping the screen to swing is absolutely terrible, so the timing of when to swing is nothing like the original PC version. Ruins the game for me
- El · v1.1.17
the best classic games ever prabely my favorite character is pablo sanchez
- Esteban Rodriguez · v1.2.01
This game is absolutely amazing! I don't feel like I need to say much about what makes BB a goated sports game, let alone baseball game. Having a mobile port of the game is a blessing for all of us who still enjoy playing. However, the crashes make this app near unplayable in its current state. This would be an easy 5-star review if the game didn't crash every other time I played it. (Edit: The app is far more stable now. I recommend everyone who might be considering this game to give it a try)
- Tanner McCutcheon · v1.1.17
are you ever going to fix the game to make it playable? i already filled out the request form like you asked me too and nothing has been done
- Aaron Michael
diablo que buen juego
- Enki Rojas · v1.1.17
Got the game (without reading reviews) expecting it to work on Chromebook laptop but after reading reviews from 6 months ago, mouse still doesn't show up on Chromebook :'(
- Kirk Putnam · v1.1.17
Game works well but crashes semi often and ruins season stats.
- Julian G. Grottes · v1.1.17
Season statistics and league leader notebook stats are not accumulated and displayed properly. Otherwise an authentic and smooth-running experience.
- Bryan Finley · v1.1.17
Great game and cool to play a game I grew up playing on PC when it originally started. But please fix the random game crashes. You lose all stats from a season mode and it's fun to have those to be accurate for your team. Everything else is great just see if you can prevent the game from crashing randomly. Thanks!
- Matt Vosejpka · v1.1.17
Nostalgic in the best way possible. We're blessed to have this masterpiece in the palm of our hands at any moments notice.
- Caleb MacKay · v1.1.17

- Pete Colangelo · v1.1.12
i cant even see my mouse and in game i cant hit my bat
- Jonathan · v1.1.17
fun and funny but I couldn't see my mouse
- James McKone · v1.1.17
Great game
- Jay Carri · v1.1.17
this is a great little game. the most recent update fixed the crashing issues, but it seems to have caused a glitch in how stats are tracked over the course of the season. I love the stat tracking and using it to inform team building, so this is kind of a big issue for me. I trust it'll get fixed eventually though.
- Hayden Stewart · v1.1.78
goated
- Henry Lawrence · v1.1.17
Love the game, but really wish the season stats were correct. Not sure how to fix it, but it's super annoying not being able to see proper statistics
- Erin Mahoney · v1.1.17
they did an update and made all previous saves incompatible so you have to start over.
- Ian O'Malley · v1.1.78
not enough characters but really good
- Rachel Kaylor · v1.1.17
Another update that does not fix the issues finally an update came out that i thought was going to make the game playable on CHROMEBOOK but nope still no mouse on screen and the said part is that they know about the issue and have done nothing about it they want you to go outta you way and report it when there is more than 3 reviews stating that we are on chromebook and here are the issues, i wish i could refund my money or give it 0 stars
- GoSoxx Gaming · v1.1.17

- michael hatfield · v1.1.12

ACHMED FOR THE WIIIIIN
