 great for car trips September 28, 2007

I recommend this fun and creative game with just a couple of caveats: it can burn a lot of time and it eventually becomes boring (i.e. after some months it will collect dust on the shelf).
I bought this game for my 7-year-old son after he thoroughly enjoyed Backyard Soccer. I noticed that the soccer game increased his desire to play the actual outdoor game and his performance on his real soccer team visibly improved. The baseball game has peaked his interest in trying out baseball and he is yearning for summer when he can join a real little league team.
Each game can take a lot of time, and I like to limit my son's time on video games, but I think it is perfect for long car rides. We often drive for 12 hours, and my son can spend much of that time playing just this one game. It is hard to find anything else to occupy his attention for that long.
I think it is fairly challenging, even at the beginning level, but with sufficient practice you can put together a winning team at any level. We also enjoy examining all the statistics, which is what makes baseball an interesting sport.
It's a hit!! March 10, 2007

I bought this for my 6 yr old son and he loves it. I was worried about the reviews I read before purchasing but I had no problems with the product and it has been lots of fun. He plays it everyday...He found it hard the first few times but he has already won the World Series in easy mode after a month. We also have Backyard Hockey 2005 and we love both of them.
 Great gift for the sports fanatic kid! January 9, 2007

I got this for my 8-year old nephew, at the recommendation of another 13-year old nephew. They both love the game! The 8-year old wants the football and basketball versions!
