Backyard Baseball 2003 Gameplay

My main account: http://www.youtube.com/user/legoking831
A gameplay video for Backyard Baseball 2003. Just like with Soccer 2004, this one has all the voices changed. Personally, I don't find this game quite as enjoyable as the previous two games in the series. For one, the voices aren't as fun to listen to, and Vinnie sounds way too much like a puppet played by Sunny Day (c'mon, Lani Minella, you're better than this. Why was it necessary for you to voice both announcers?). I also ran into several glitches I never remember running into in the original. One of them is seen in this video - sometimes, when a runner crosses home plate, they won't get counted until the next play. If you strike out into the next inning while this is happening, you won't get the point. There's also several other graphical bugs that I don't remember running into in the predecessors. They also didn't make many improvements to the season mode, other than bringing back the rewards. I do like how they finally made Big City Stadium and Super Colossal Dome unlockable though. All in all though, if I had a choice between this and the '97 version, I'd just take the '97 version.
Another thing, it will be a while before I can trailer this and annotate it. So for now, a few things I'm explaining:
You get Mr. Clanky after finishing the game.
I decided to take the Super Colossal Dome, because, after all, this IS the last 2D Backyard Baseball, and the only one to let you pick it. Plus, few have seen it before so it's kinda nice.
You will not believe how many failed recordings I had simply because of the computer's obsession with the pros. I have no idea why it decided to suddenly change its mind for this particular game and go for Backyard Kids.

@Luigidollar2002 Getting thumbs ups isn't motivating me any further to buy that game. I'll get it when I feel like it.

Backyard sports seems to be the only HE series I never outgrew.(it was almost always baseball.) The original was the first one I played all the time. The 2001 version I never played, but seems to be the most common. The 2003 version wasn't really necessary at ALL. It seems as though its only there to keep the series going, only to go downhill afterwards. I'm actually doing a Let's Play on the 2003 version though since the 97 one won't work on my computer. That and nobody else has done it yet. :3

@Hondo20132 Well, Football has the shortest season of all the games, so it's understandable.
