Backyard Basketball is a whimsical approach to NBA asketball using pint-sized characters modeled after professional players. The 3D game offers ten backyard teams with an extensive roster of athletes in child form including such players as LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Shaquille O'Neal, Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, and more. Each team features customizable logos, players, fields, and uniforms.
Whether it's a single game or a season, players will be able to pick and choose their favorite kids in true playground fashion. In "Season" mode, players are able to create their own budding superstars and gradually develop their attributes with experience points earned from competition. Mini-games are available for single-and multiplayer action, and the handicap capability is adjustable. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide
