Create-A-Player in Backyard Baseball 2001.
Create-A-Player, known as "Create Custom Character" in later games, is a feature in the Backyard Sports series where players get to create their own Backyard kid for their team. The original Backyard Football was the first game to include the Create-A-Player feature. This feature can be accessed when the player is creating their team. The game shows a transparent kid (with a question mark) who is usually sitting in the bleachers. When this kid is clicked on, a menu will show where one can design their custom kid from appearance to stats. The custom kid is referred to by their nickname rather than their name given from the player.
Trivia[]
- In Backyard Hockey and Backyard Football 2004, your custom kids can be saved and used for single pick-up games just like the regular Backyard kids.
- The custom kid's various appearances are limited to those specifically shown in the Backyard Sports game(s).
- Backyard Soccer is the only game whose MLS editions did not include this feature.
- Backyard Basketball is the first game to include "cheats" with the Create-A-Player, where Barry Dejay and Thor Herring can be created.
- If clicked quickly when removing baseballs in Backyard Baseball 2003, you get more baseballs and have max stats.
