One of the standout features of Backyard Baseball '97 is its diverse range of game modes. Jump into a spontaneous match with the random pick-up mode, or take a more calculated approach with the single game mode.
For those looking for a longer challenge, lead your team through a 14-game season, striving for the BBL playoffs and the ultimate glory of the Ultra Grand Championship of the Universe Series. There's also a batting practice mode where you can hone your skills against Mr. Clanky.
Touch Base!
Backyard Baseball '97 sets itself apart from typical baseball games with its unique blend of professional and little league rules. You can bunt, tag up, and steal bases, but don't expect to lead off or deal with injuries.
The game remains simple and accessible yet offers strategic depth. There's even a T-ball mode for those who want to enjoy the game without the pressure of competition.
