BACKYARD SPORTS PS2 CODES
Backyard Basketball is a series of entries into the Backyard Sports franchise of
video games. The first game was developed by Humongous Entertainment and
published by Infogrames Entertainment SA and released for Microsoft Windows and
Macintosh platforms in 2001. Additional games have been released on a variety of
consoles, each sporting different characters and slightly altered gameplay
mechanics.
As with the other entries into the Backyard Sports franchise, Backyard
Basketball has received notoriety for its inclusion of pro basketball players as
playable characters. The first incarnation included Kevin Garnett and Lisa
Leslie. The most recent release includes Stephen Curry as its mascot.[1]
GAMEPLAY[EDIT]
Backyard Basketball offers two primary modes of gameplay: Single Game, which
allows the player to select a team to compete against a computer-controlled
team, and Season Play, which allows the player to select a team to compete
against a series of computer-controlled teams over an 18-game season, including
two best-of-three playoff series and a best-of-five championship series should
the player achieve a large number of victories. The Single Game mode also allows
the player to compete against a second player or to practice using a single
character.
Before games can occur, the player has the option to modify a variety of
settings. These include court selection, A.I. difficulty (easy, medium, or
hard), the presence of certain rules (fouls, fatigue, violations, shot control,
and power-ups), sound options (game music, background sounds, and in-game
dialogue), controls, and team names. Team modification also involves the
customization of jerseys.
The game's controls are set to mouse usage by default, capitalizing on a point &
click style of gameplay to move characters around. The game is also compatible
with keyboards and game pads.
The selection of team members follows one of two settings: First Five Picks,
which allows each player to select their team members freely, or Full Draft,
which forces each player to select their team members one at a time in an
alternating fashion. Each potential team member, including younger versions of
Kevin Garnett and Lisa Leslie, is ranked according to five statistics operating
on a 1 to 10 scale. These include Inside Shooting (the relative accuracy of the
character's shot from inside the three-point line), Outside Shooting (the
relative accuracy of the character's shot from beyond the three-point line),
Ballhandling (the relative likelihood that the character will not have the ball
stolen or blocked on offense), Defense (the relative likelihood that the
character will be able to steal or block the ball on defense), and Quickness
(the relative speed at which the character moves along the court). Players also
have the option to customize rookie characters with either manually chosen or
randomly allocated statistics, as well as heights, skin tones, shooting hands,
birthdays, and names. Although rookie characters generally have lower overall
statistics compared to pre-rendered players, they have the additional ability to
increase all of their statistics by three levels should the player's team make
the playoffs in Season Play.
Gameplay in Backyard Basketball is set to a point & click control scheme by
default. With three characters on the court at one time, the player clicks at
various locations on the court to guide the character with the ball to that
location. Clicking on a teammate causes the character to pass the ball to that
teammate while clicking the basket (indicated by a basketball icon) causes the
character to attempt a shot. If shot control is on, then players have the option
to make the shooting character pump fake by clicking rapidly, finally shooting
the ball when the click is held down. If shot control is off, then the character
will automatically release the shot once the basketball icon is clicked.On
defense, the player can switch between characters to control by clicking on them
as they run about, guiding the chosen character by clicking the location on the
court where he or she should go. If an opposing character is clicked when an 'X'
symbol hovers by them, the character nearest him or her will attempt to steal
the ball. If a pair of hands appears near the basket when an opposing character
goes to shoot the ball, the nearest character will attempt to block the shot or
rebound the ball.
Each quarter of a game lasts approximately three minutes while each overtime
period (if necessary) lasts approximately one minute. The longer characters play
without rest, the more tired and prone to mistakes (poor shooting and
ball-handling) they will be; as such, substitutions can be made after any
completed play or during a time-out. Characters will recover their energy while
on the bench (only two players can stay on the bench at a time). Granted, a
character's energy will never decrease if the fatigue option is turned off.
Over the course of a game, power-ups may occasionally be rewarded to teams. The
majority of these power-ups are useful, such as the flaming ball (which
guarantees that the next attempted shot will go in), the tornado (which
increases the speed of all characters on the court), the doughnut (which causes
the next character who attempts a shot to automatically attempt a slam dunk),
and 110% Juice (which provides energy to otherwise tired players if the fatigue
option is turned on). However, some power-ups provide detrimental effects, such
as the icy ball (which makes shots more likely to miss), the stick of butter
(which reduces the team's ball-handling abilities), and the ice cream truck
(which prevents the entire team from moving for a brief period of time).
RELEASES[EDIT]
Backyard Basketball games have been released numerous times to a variety of
platforms. In 2001, the first game of the series was released for Windows and
Macintosh featuring Kevin Garnett as the game's primary mascot, and Lisa
Leslie.[2] In 2004, a game was released for the Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2,
and PC, featuring Tim Duncan as its primary mascot.[3] The game was released
once more in 2007, this time for the Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo DS as well
as the aforementioned systems, featuring Paul Pierce as its primary mascot.[4]
The game has most recently been released as a mobile app featuring Stephen Curry
as its primary mascot.

that the addition of new gameplay modes offered more variety.[8]
