Billie Jean was a 2, but Marky was a 3.

I just remember him being the star in the only game I'd lost (took me forever to lose a second), he had a two-run inside-the-parker and shut me out. Thus increasing my respect for him tenfold.

What was Kimmy Eckman good at? I can't remember if it was hitting or pitching...

Marky?!?

Wow, I haven't played this series in a while.

I think Marky was a pitcher.

At least on the 2001 version, she's not very good at anything.

Kimmy Eckman, I believe was:

Code:

Batting:  OOO
Running:  O
Pitching: OO
Fielding: OO

Marky was:

Code:

Batting:  OOO
Running:  O
Pitching: OOO
Fielding: OOO

Billy Jean was:

Code:

Batting:  OOO
Running:  OO
Pitching: OO
Fielding: OO

Yes, this is from memory. I played this game obsessively for years, so I have pretty much every player's skills memorized. If you need to know any others, just let me know.

When I saw the zeros, I thought that you were saying they all sucked!

Haha, nah. Need any others, though? I'd be happy to help.

Are you going to be willing to add the new characters from the new series'?

detroittigers15 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 9:27 pm

Nope. Don't know them.

test99 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2011 9:30 pm

There's Jimmy Winthrope “The Bully” Knuckles the average DH. There's also Ace "Acer" Patterson, but he's only played football so,

Only new one's I heard of are from the (incredibly disappointing) Backyard Baseball 2007. Arthur Chen and Jimmy MacAdoo or whatever. (Not sure if it's Jimmy...)

I dont get it

I own '07 and '09. Haven't played a more recent one than those. So I don't know them either, but I like the name Ace.

He's lucky because he's never heard of them, so he's probably never played the game, which means PPJ thinks the game sucks.

I hated '07. I played it a couple times and promptly went back to 2005. Best Backyard games (not including originals):

Backyard Baseball 2001
Backyard Baseball 2003
Backyard Baseball 2005 (Biggest appeal to me was being able to create team of all created players)
Backyard Basketall (PS2)
Backyard Hockey 2005
Backyard Football 2002
Backyard Soccer MLS Edition

Baseball '01 needs to be on that list. Get rid of Baseball '05 and add Backyard Soccer MLS Edition.
