Backyard Sports, formerly called Junior Sports, is a sports video game series originally made by Humongous Entertainment, which was later bought by Atari. It is most recently owned by Day6 Sports Group, who tried to rebooted it as a Mobile Phone Game series—which is far from the series' original computer game roots—in 2015 to no avail before they closed down in 2020. It is the only game series that had licensing from all the major professional sports leagues in North America: Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, and the National Hockey League.There have been over thirty games published in the series, the first few of which are regarded as quite good and the last few of which are regarded as awful. There are six main brands associated with the series: Backyard Baseball Backyard Soccer Backyard Football Backyard Basketball Backyard Hockey Backyard Skateboarding (which has only produced one game and its Game of the Year Edition).The series has also spawned a TV special (NFL Backyard Basics: Football Tips from the Pros) and a few books, as well as a Comic-Book Adaptation (a prequel to the game Sandlot Sluggers).The series was originally only Competitive Multiplayer, but starting with Backyard Football '10, Co-Op Multiplayer is also in the games.A demo version of Baseball 2001 can be downloaded from Infogrames, and a trial version of Sandlot Sluggers can be downloaded from Atari. | |

Anachronism Stew: The pros being kids in modern times. Not only that, but also by the time some of the pros were born, others would've already been teenagers or even adults. NFL Backyard Basics handles this by having the present-day pros turn into kids while they're in the Clubhouse. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: The infinite ollie bug in the original Backyard Skateboarding was patched in the GOTY edition, but did get the honor of getting a new power-up that accomplished a very similar effect, possibly to an even greater degree than the original. The turbine power-up allows you to jump as much as you want, and unlike the infinite ollie bug, you don't have to charge it, you can just spam the heck out of the space bar and your character goes flying. | |

A Winner Is You | |
| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: The GBA games, except Football, which has no ending. Backyard Baseball 2001 and Soccer: MLS Edition removed the rewards for winning, besides getting a picture in the Hall of Fame. In the Football games on the PC, beating the game as Mr. Clanky's Tackling Dummies gives you a simple victory photo. Justified as this team only consists of robots who probably aren't programmed to ride rides at an amusement park. | |

Easter Egg: All your base are belong to Humongous. Entering "Houstons" as a coach name in Backyard Football 2002 adds the Houston Texans as a team name and logo. In the original Football, the kicker for the Dolphins in season mode is named Ray, the same name as the kicker who wanted to kill Dan Marino (who happens to be in the game himself). | |

| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_34082c59 | comment |
Wolverine Publicity: The pros. This was actually a bit gradual though; in the original Football, Steve Young is on the cover, but Jocinda and Amir are front and center while Steve hangs in the background. Then on Baseball 2001, Cal Ripken is the most predominant character on the cover, but Stephanie still stands out quite a bit, so it's about half-and-half. Soccer MLS Edition is where this starts to kick in though — Brandi Chastain and Cobi Jones now are front and center on the cover while Reese sort of floats in the background. Then comes Basketball where Kevin Garnett takes up more than half the boxart complete with his real-life portrait next to him, while Kimmy floats off in the background. And finally with Basketball 2004, there aren't any Backyard Kids at all on the cover...then it somehow manages to escalate even more with Skateboarding GOTY where Andy MacDonald is the only kid present across the entire box. Yes, that includes the back of it too! Either way, the pros gradually took up more and more of the advertising until one has to wonder if the marketing team even remembered the Backyard Kids were in the game too, even though they always represent half (or more) of the cast. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first three games seem heavily stripped down compared to the later ones. The first two lacked the pro players that would become such an icon of the series mere years later, Baseball only allows for one-color teams instead of two, the menu navigation was completely different and did not use the streamlined forward-and-back arrow mechanic, the player stats were measured on a one-to-four scale instead of one-to-ten, you couldn't pick a home field for a season game, and several other things that would be considered major staples are completely absent (for instance, the "power-up obtained" sound). The outfield viewpoint also featured hand-drawn figures instead of the CGI ones that became more prominent later on. | |

And Save Scumming has many different uses— it helps, for instance, when you're in a tight spot, and need to get outs fast; you can save the game, come back to it, and rinse and repeat as many times as you need until you solve your problem. You can also save the game if something really good has happened for you, and you don't want it negated by something good for the other team. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: When creating teams in Versus mode, picking one of the Webber twins or the Khan brothers will result in the computer selecting the other on the very next turn. Every time. Oddly enough, it gets inverted if you choose either Sally or Ronny: the computer will chose the other one, despite Ronny actually having decreased stats if you pair him with his sister. In Baseball, the AI is also capable of having created kids who have almost all stats maxed out, which is impossible to do without the cheat character Lemon Boy. The AI is also has access to pitches not available to the player, such as sliders and sinkers. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Baseball 2001 is missing the controls guide for the gamepad, making first-timers hard to understand the controls and must learn them during gameplay. That is, until Baseball 2003 finally documents them, however the controls have been changed since the previous one. Soccer 2004 has 4 new powerups in which those are based on Basketball, they are 110% Juice, Super Speed, Slow Speed, and Ice Cream Truck. That being said, the instruction manual for that game don't describe about powerups either. Merry Olde Englandland in Backyard Skateboarding has coins that are on top of the castle towers, but there is no way of reaching them normally, which is a pretty bad thing in a game where hard-to-reach areas are usually accessed by grinding on hard-to-see power lines and wires. What's the solution, you ask? You jump into perfectly normal looking rocks which teleport you to the towers. There is no hint in the entire game that you're supposed to do this, and on top of that, it doesn't even work on all the rocks! The Game of the Year Edition partially solved this by adding wooden arrows pointing to the specific rocks, but even then, that's still hardly an indicator the rocks actually do anything. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: The kids' stats vary between sports, causing kids with awful stats in one sport to suddenly become very good in another. For example, Ricky Johnson has a terrible batting stat in Baseball, but is an excellent kicker in Football and Soccer. Some also invert this trope, going from being good to awful. | |

Continuity Nod: In Basketball 2004's credits, one picture shows Gretchen Hasselhoff posing for a portrait; the portrait is based on her appearance in the original games. In Baseball 2005's Starlite Orchards, you can see the intro movie from Football 2002 playing on the big screen. Also, Buddy Cheque (the Hockey commentator) makes an offhand reference to Vinnie the Gooch, the original commentator for the Baseball games. | |

Power-Up Letdown: The Chameleon play in Football, which turns your team uniforms into the offense uniforms. It really backfires, as it's still easy to tell what players are yours, and it's impossible to fool the computer. 2-player mode doesn't do any better; you can't highlight the pass icon over the defense, so the power up becomes worthless. | |

Bowdlerization: In most professional hockey games, a fight will break out to settle a disagreement. Needless to say, that sort of violence would never fly in a game intended for kids, so the Hockey series will have fouls or roughing settled by...a game of Rock–Paper–Scissors. Buddy Cheque even lampshades it, by saying it's "what the fans pay to see" despite how mundane it is. | |

Obvious Rule Patch | |
| Backyard Sports (Video Game) / int_b89ed08a | comment |
Obvious Rule Patch: In the original Baseball, the only way to get a batting power-up was to reach base off a special pitch. However, in order to get a special pitch in the first place, the pitcher has to strike someone out. Obviously this meant a skilled player might never have the opportunity to ever obtain a batting power-up. Baseball 2001 fixed this by also making them obtainable through turning double plays. Football 2002 had a power-up called the Invincible Run. It was extremely unbalanced and did little more than make a touchdown completely guaranteed unless the player ran across the field way in advance until the power-up wore off, but even then the if the opposing player was anywhere past a third of the way down the field, the power-up would last too long and the running back would typically make it to the endzone before it wore off. The GameCube version Nerfed this pretty considerably by having the running back slow down every time he was tackled when the power-up was in effect. | |

Shout-Out: Angela Delvecchio was the main character in a Friend to Die For. The Webber sisters are based off the Williams sisters. Although probably not intentional, Ronny Dobbs is also the name of quite possibly the most well known recurring character from Mr. Show. Baseball 2003 has Keisha Phillips enter with her saying "Uh, oh, here she comes" (the hidden captions add "Maneater" at the end; making this a reference to the 1982 Hall & Oates song "Maneater"). When choosing Lisa Crocket for your team in Football, she may say "Y'know what? I'm happy." (the hidden captions suggest that this is a reference to Droopy) In Baseball 2005, go into the Record Book and look at BBL Champions. Bob Loblaw is a default one.

Glitch Entity: The generic kids can be put on your team in Backyard Baseball through editing the coach file, but since they were never intended to appear on the Strategy screen or Meet the Players their graphics are garbled into pieces from other graphics. At worst, they crash the game from trying to display non-existent ones. This is averted in games starting with Backyard Hockey however, as they are all properly set up yet only scripted to not appear on the bleachers. | |
