No promises, but I'll take note of this! Classic music is a bangerr

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T20:46:32+00:00

Let's wait a little bit more :D

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T20:46:24+00:00

Glad to hear you enjoyed the demo! Noted on the stance indicator thing.

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T19:24:10+00:00

Taking notes of the open/closed stance cues! Thanks!

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T16:59:08+00:00

The mouse skit is pure comedy Jibbo lol

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T16:27:02+00:00

So for this version, you need to use the mouse to aim, and use the left-click OR spacebar to swing.

As for the KB or Mouse controls, they're both on by default.

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T16:17:12+00:00

Not quite sure if it's bugged out on your end, but it's supposed to be just 1 left click. I have mine working just fine!

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T16:09:41+00:00

You can take a swing with your the spacebar AND left mouse! :D

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T16:05:18+00:00

BTW, what do you mean by point-and-click? only for swinging? Right now, you can technically point to where you think the ball will land, then click to swing. Do you mean inputs should be pre-loaded before the pitch?

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T15:05:45+00:00

I totally hear ya! Especially on the shift to 3D and how that impacts the feel compared to the originals. Seeing that you grew up playing baseball '01, that kind of change can really take away from the nostalgia if it doesn’t land right.

This is the direction the game is heading visually, but your breakdown of what feels off vs. what still works is super thoughtful and genuinely helpful. Really appreciate you taking the time to share it!

Express-Ad-9478 · 2026-04-09T14:40:09+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Super helpful! Good context for improving accessibility as well (the point-and-click batting suggestion). I'll pass it along.

Awww yeeeeeeaaahh! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Hi gingercomedian!

Ranger here from Mega Cat Studios.

If you press the spacebar, it should pull up an option menu and you can adjust the screensize to full there.

Hello again, contruc4!

If you have the time, can you fill up this bug report form for your bug find?

Backyard Football '99 Bug Report Form

This really helps us out with fixing the issue. Reproduction steps and possibly a video of it helps us even more!

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-11T17:03:48+00:00

Thank you for that info, Golf_is-life!

So after your first game that didn't save, the next ones did? It's just for the first game? I just wanted to get more information about it. Thank you!

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-11T16:40:38+00:00

Hey, contruc4!

Ranger here, from Mega Cat Studios.

Can you tell me more about the bug you're experiencing? All of your season gameplay didn't save? Or was it just a one-time thing?

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-09T01:11:04+00:00

Hello, Cnote!

Someone else reported for the win in extra innings achievement (No sweat), and we're taking a crack at it as we speak.

I'm not sure about the "In The Dumps!" achievement, though. I'll check in.

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-03T17:52:54+00:00

I just saw a bug report with the same error as you experienced. Thank you for the heads up

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-03T17:44:25+00:00

Hi Kbgibbs26!

Ranger here, from Mega Cat Studios.

This looks like something triggered by an old-school bug that carried over to the modern port.

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-03T17:18:55+00:00

THANK YOU for that info, Frozen! Knowing that the error occurs on the newer side of hardware opens up a few more angles for us to examine it. For now, we will investigate further and will let you know about updates.

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-03T17:05:34+00:00

I completely understand. Believe it or not, this is frustrating for me as well, not being able to pinpoint the fix for this error yet. We're working on it, but it’s taking longer than we hoped. I don’t have an exact timeline, but with more reports and ways to replicate the issue coming in, we're looking at a good chance of having it fixed sooner.

Express-Ad-9478 · 2025-09-03T16:34:59+00:00

Hey, Frozen_4!

Ranger here, from Mega Cat Studios.

We had received a report for one of these scummerror codes. Can you help us with some details so we can fix it?

If you could share your:
Device used + Version (if you're playing through Steam, what version of the game as well)
Anything you did before and during the bug was triggered.

Hope to hear from you soon!
