Backyard Baseball. Backyard Baseball is a free online sports game with charming characters and fun challenges. You pick a team and players to compete against others on the field, like in Pablo's backyard. Try to hit a homerun, don't strike out and score enough points each round to move on to the next level. Review title of ChunkyBuiscuit Best Xbox baseball game. Nostalgia baseball. It and its predecessor remind me of Backyard Baseball. The only current baseball game that has this beat is PS4 exclusive MLB The Show. The only downside to this game is separated DLC. While it's not necessary to get it, it's nice having extra options for customization. Review title of Frank668771 Fun baseball game. With officially licensed baseball games so rare these days, especially on Xbox, this game fills the void nicely. It's very easy to pick up and play, and there are enough difficulty settings for everyone. My only gripe is the baserunning controls are a little confusing.
