BACKYARD BASEBALL 2005 PRO

Ripken earned the right to be on the cover though, and listed as the best cover athlete. is the guy you always wanted to have, to ensure 1-2 home runs PER GAME. Even Kenny Lofton, whose speed was unfair, couldnвЂ™t beat out RipkenвЂ™s arm.Д¬al wasnвЂ™t the best player in the game, but he was up there at the top. He was a stellar hitter and could throw any player out on a ground ball to short. If you picked Ripken when you played, the chances were great that your team would win the World Series. Noted in the background are Pablo Sanchez, Vicki Kawaguchi and Marky Dubois. And on the coverВ it features Stephanie Morgan as the catcher, and Cal Ripken Jr. In real life and in video games.Д«ackyard Baseball 2001 might be the single best game in the entire Backyard franchise.

Louis Cardinals Pujols was an all-time great. If you put Pete in the leadoff spot and Pujols after him, thatвЂ™s two guaranteed runs every time. The same goes for Pete Wheeler, AKA Pete Stealer. It would have been foolish to ever not choose him. I got the game for my birthday in sixth grade. The gameвЂ™s popularity was a lot lower than the three games before it, but it was still a stellar time. The power-ups were a little more creative, and there were more players to choose from than ever before.ДЄlbert Pujols graced the cover of this game, and it was almost guaranteed that youвЂ™d get a hit with him at the plate. They made stealing harder, and the fields had deeper dimensions. The 2007 edition of Backyard Baseball was VERY different from the others, but it was still fantastic. Who doesnвЂ™t love saying вЂњPiazzaвЂќ? ThatвЂ™s a top-tier last name. His arm behind home plate wonвЂ™t be gunning the fastest runners down.ДЄt the end of the day, he was still a guy you loved to have on your team. He comes in rocking a backwards hat with the classic Piazza power. HeвЂ™ll get the nod ahead of A-Rod for the swag he brings to the game. Mike Piazza however, wasnвЂ™t exactly dynamite. The audio was slightly better, but thatвЂ™s really it.

The major differences lie in the available pro players to choose from and the stadiums. And thatвЂ™s all there is to it.Д«ackyard Baseball 2003 plays very similarly to the 2001 game. This cover makes it ahead of 2005 because of the appearance by Pablo. But the fact that she got PABLO out on a game cover, proves how great she is capable of being. She has her moments and is a decent line-drive hitter, but she isnвЂ™t a вЂњmust-draftвЂќ player.

Stephanie is a slightly below average player in the BYBB franchise. Given that Stephanie is smiling as she prepares to apply the tag on Pablo in this pictureВ , wellвЂ¦ sheвЂ™s probably going to make sure the GOAT is out at home. But, because heвЂ™s sliding into home plate, heвЂ™s not the feature player. Pablo Sanchez also graces the cover of this game. (This has nothing to do with the steroids. Soriano is fast and a great opposite field hitter. You need decent hitting at all nine spots, and Pedro can actually hit the occasional dinger.

Randy Johnson was always a bad pick because of his slow swing. The best major-leaguers to draft in this game, in my opinion, were Pedro Martinez and Alfonso Soriano. He was still a beast when you drafted him, but not to the level that our other players were. The reason that A-Rod ranks so low on the totem pole is that he is the least impactful cover athlete within his game. And it was also the most realistic of the bunch. This was the best of the games, no doubt about it. If you never played Backyard Baseball 2005, then you are doing a disservice to Atari, Humongous Entertainment, Pablo Sanchez and myself. Having spent my entire weekend playing, this has been the only thing on my mind.ДЇor reference, the five game covers being compared will be the original Backyard Baseball (original), and then BYBB 2001, BYBB 2003, BYBB 2005 and BYBB 2007. The purpose of this article is for me to give you my fully honest ranking of the cover athletes on the Backyard Baseball games. They made games for baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer and skateboarding. If you are still in your 20вЂ™s or early 30вЂ™s, the chances are great that you grew up playing the Backyard sports games.
