THE GOAT RETURNS
Play with the legend himself, Pablo Sanchez. Build a roster from a cast of 30 hilarious child athletes and 28 legendary pros that made Backyard Baseball ‘01 a sports classic. Returning MLB players include Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Cal Ripken Jr., Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza, Randy Johnson, Nomar Garciaparra, Jeff Bagwell, Jason Giambi, Chipper Jones, Jeromy Burnitz, Mark McGwire, Shawn Green, Vladimir Guerrero, Kenny Lofton, Jason Kendall, Barry Larkin, Marty Cordova, Mo Vaughn, Raul Mondesi, Curt Schilling, Alex Gonzalez, Juan Gonzalez, Larry Walker, Carlos Beltran, Tony Gwynn, Ivan Rodriguez, and Jose Canseco.

Single Game: You take turns with the computer choosing players from a random pool of characters.
Season: You pick your home field, create a team, and manage the team through a 14 game series. The opposing teams are computer generated. At the end of the season, the best two teams advance to the BBL playoffs (best of 3). If you keep winning, you’ll compete in the Super Entire Nation Tournament and Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series!

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.

## Backyard Baseball &#039;01 Reviews in United States

### ***** "Error message in season mode"
Every time I hit the ball and put it into play my app crashes with either the scum or array pointer errors, please fix 👍
-- jumbooooo284?, 2025-07-18

### ***** "Addicted"
My dad got me hooked
-- Caleb Hutchinson, 2025-07-17

### ***-- "Full screen option?"
I absolutely adore the game. I have it installed on my PC because it’s incredibly enjoyable to play. However, playing the game on my iPhone 16 Max with its small screen makes the game significantly more challenging for me. If the developers could release a patch update that enables a full-screen mode, it would be a fantastic addition.
-- Hospital Wars, 2025-07-17

### **--- "Needs work"
Need a lot of work. There’s got to be faster gameplay. Everything takes forever and it takes away from how good this really could be.
-- tbenton5, 2025-07-17

### ***** "Just like 01"
it brings back memories
-- Grays the dragon, 2025-07-17

### ****- "Constant freeze/glitch"
Great game just how I remembered as a kid. However, when I select a pitch and try to deliver a pitch it won’t let me, same when I’m at bat, I’ll try to swing at a pitch and it doesn’t swing. I’m constantly having to back out of the app and go back to fix this bug but it happens over 10 times a game…
-- Pablo Sanchezzz, 2025-07-17

### **--- "Season Crash"
The gameplay is great and reminds me of my childhood… However, I was only able to get through 7 1/2 games before the app had a major crash and now I can’t continue my season. It is very frustrating because I shouldn’t have to have issues in a game like this. It needs to be fixed, but it doesn’t seem like it will be. This is an issue. I’m seeing all over social media so I know it is not just me.
-- Dhayes202, 2025-07-16

### ****- "Defense difficult"
Playing on an iPhone, it’s difficult to line up my outfielders to catch a fly ball. Also the players don’t seem to follow where I want them to throw. Enjoy the nostalgia but wish I were playing this on a PC
-- SR150185719, 2025-07-16

### ***-- "Glitching"
Game continues to glitch, had to uninstall and re install, lost all my progress, please get this fixed! It was every time after I made any contact, the game would just freeze and close
-- Mjans2018, 2025-07-16

### **--- "Fun game but has some random crashes"
It’s a fun game when it works right but currently I get an array index out of bounds error once in a while causing a crash .
-- 767##, 2025-07-16

### ***** "Amazing but I got a glitch"
I am at my 16th game and if the opposing team throws the ball to first base, I got an error message and got kicked out, but the rest of the game is fun.
-- Jaxon124567, 2025-07-16

### ****- "Names"
The Indians were not the Guardians in 2001.
-- Big young, 2025-07-16

### ****- "Array Pointer Issue"
Loving the game it takes me back but I keep getting an array pointer error. Hope this is quickly fixed
-- Slappy1010, 2025-07-16

### ***** "Our of Array pointers"
Hello, at my 7th game the out of Array pointers happened again. Please fix asap
-- Raise no, 2025-07-16

### ***-- "Childhood core"
Tap screen to swing and doesn’t work half the time. Have to fix this problem
-- Honestreviews122, 2025-07-16

### ****- "Nostalgia needs help"
I loved the Backyard Franchise. I had and played most of them as a kid. So seeing this game come back was awesome. However, the game has at least one fatal flaw, “SCUMMERROR” (3,2101 Out of array pointers). I keep getting this error no matter how many different teams I start or delete. It’s getting to the point where I don’t want to keep trying to load up a game. The developers need to patch this ASAP. It’s a great game aside from that.
-- ZachMac136, 2025-07-16

### *---- "SCUMM Error"
Didn’t have this problem on ‘97 but somehow I’m “out of array pointers” and can no longer play my season
-- Josey Leo, 2025-07-15

### *---- "SCUMMERROR Bug"
[27,50] Out of array pointers. Can’t get through more than a few games into a season. You can’t continue the game and if you uninstall the game you lose your season.
-- Bbbbbooooobbbb, 2025-07-15

### *---- "UNPLAYABLE"
You can’t play through a season without the game crashing. And once you get the error code it does not go away and can’t finish the game you are stuck….. don’t download
-- Gage Prenovost, 2025-07-15

### ***** "Classic"
Glad to finally see Backyard Baseball 2001! Can’t wait for all the other Backyard Sports to be released.
I’ve been playing BYB ‘97 and really like ‘01.
I did notice the strike zone is tight on ‘01, and the ball will be a strike if it touches the edge of the strike zone unlike ‘97. Hitting seems easier on ‘01. I like how you can speed up batting practice after you hit the ball. I also like the sound notifying you of a power up earned.
It would be nice to have an explanation before the game starts as to why a certain player gets skill points taken away or added (ex: playing against rival team, etc.)
Overall great game. Wish there was an online mode for all of the BYS app games.
