About the game

THE AWARD WINNING CLASSIC IS NOW AVAILABLE ON PLAYSTATION®5! Relive the game that started it all! The original Backyard Baseball '97 is now enhanced to run on PlayStation®5. Whether you're picking your dream team, hitting home runs, or just here for the witty banter, step back into the backyard and experience the game that made baseball fun for everyone! Play pick-up games, practice batting, keep track of stats, and compete in single games or a whole season! Backyard Baseball ‘97 features the excitement of baseball but with simple, intuitive controls that anyone can master. GAME MODES Random Pick-up: A quick way to jump right in! The computer chooses a random team for you and itself, and the game starts immediately. Single Game: You take turns with the computer, choosing players from a random pool of characters. Season: You 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). The winner of the playoffs advances to the championship series which consists of the Super Entire Nation Tournament (best of 3) and then the Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series (best of 5)! PLAY WITH THE GOAT HIMSELF, PABLO SANCHEZ For many fans, this is the game that debuted one of the most iconic video game characters: Pablo Sanchez! Build a roster from a cast of 30 hilarious child athletes who made Backyard Baseball a cult classic. 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 To get into the swing of things, choose a batter and face Mr. Clanky for some batting practice. This is where you’ll learn just when to click to make your chosen batter hit the ball! 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. We can make the game run buttery smooth and stack it with Trophies to test your mettle. Backyard Baseball ‘97 runs well, 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.

What happens next

Pay for a seat, wait for the others, then play with no end date.

  1. 01

    Take a seat and wait for the others

    The money comes off your balance right away, and we hold it. Once all required seats are paid, we buy the game and set up the PSN account, daily from 10:00 to 18:00 Moscow time. Until the game is bought, you can give up the seat in your account, and we'll refund you in full.

  2. 02

    Sign in on your console with a code

    A form appears in your account: your console asks for a 6-digit code, and you enter it on our site. The PSN account password isn't shared.

  3. 03

    Play with no end date

    The seat stays yours for good. If the PSN account password has been changed, we'll ask you to enter a code again in your account. It takes a minute.

Before we buy the game, you can give up the seat and your money returns to your balance in full. After that, message us in your seat's thread: we'll refund you minus our share of the cost of the game. More about the terms.
