pablo is the goat
This one is a joy to play! I find the visual style charming, goofy, and full of personality, perfectly capturing the fun atmosphere the series is known for. I'm also really happy it launched with local multiplayer, and I can't wait for the online multiplayer update. A fantastic comeback, and I'm excited to see how it grows from here!
As someone who only played the classic games when they were made available on Steam, it is so satisfying when hitting home runs, getting strikeouts, and using the power-ups. It's just so simple and easy to get into the game, and there are small pack opening things, but it's like a memento, so I like how this game is made.

Good remake!
I often asked, what year would it be when a new Backyard Sports game would release. They certainly delivered on this one. This is Backyard Sports in 3D done right.

Steam reviewers are overreacting to the current state of the game (no surprises there -- this same place panned GTA5, RDR2, Elden Ring, etc.). A couple of notes after having played one game: 1. The point-and-click fielding mechanics are not as simple as they were in 1998, but fielders are controllable via WASD and this makes it much more fluid. 2. There are some issues with runners tagging up. Specifically, I hit a pop-up straight above home plate and my third base runner came halfway home and refused to head back to third despite me clicking wildly, which gave the CPU an easy double play. These issues should be resolved. 3. Hitting is fine. A lot of reviews here seem to point out the "difficulty" in hitting without the pitch assist shadow. News flash: You are not supposed to be a hitting god after playing a game for 1 day. Give yourself time to learn the system. The ball's shadow helps a lot in determining when the ball will cross the plate, and you can use that to determine where left & right hooks will land. Apart from those things -- beautiful remake. Just as charming as the original from 1998. I believe the game will be superb after one or two patches.
Plays like I remember the old games playing, and seems to have a lot of fun new added content for season mode. Not a lot of depth, but that's the point. Love just hopping in to play a game or two when I'm trying to kill time. Bonus points for having super ultrawide support.
Tldr: I think this game has a high ceiling for success. In its current state it lacks polish and may leave you frustrated. This game has tickled all of the nostalgia points and has brought back names from my childhood. The gameplay allows players to show off some skill expression compared to the version I grew up playing on the gameboy advanced. I think the difficulty is deserved and makes the game actually more enjoyable vs casually stomping the CPU on the highest difficulty. This game in the current state has a lot of bugs making the gameplay frustrating. For example balls can stuck in the corner of tin can alley where runners are allowed to run for an inside the park homerun. In local multiplayer, a player sometimes may not go to the "edit strategy" window to swap out their pitcher when they run out of energy. Also in the "edit strategy" window, you can only see the stats of the currently selected player and not the player you want to swap with. One of the non-gameplay bugs I've also noticed is that the batting stats for some players are just wrong. It would often assign player A's at-bat and give it to player B. Then at the end of the game player B would have 6 at-bats while a player A only has 3.
