The final game is the “Backyard Baseball World Series”. This contains the American League and National League divisional series and the AL and NL championship series.

Players can compete against opponents by playing an exhibition game or a 14, 16 or 32 game season which is followed by the “Backyard Baseball League” playoffs.

There are 30 neighbourhood kids that the player can choose from and as the game progresses, players can easily unlock and gain access to more professional players such as Randy and Barry Bonds.

The ambience which is provided also adds to the overall effect of the game.

Pitchers can throw pitches such as the “Crazy ball” and the “Elevator”.

In the game, players can choose from different fields like the sandlot, the rich kid’s backyard and the urban parking lot.

Players do move differently on different fields, slower on sand and faster on turf. The game features pretty simple menus, baseball cards of all the players, rosters and schedules, a system of 'Good & Bad Days' that alter players' stats (one person may not like Tuesdays, or be much better when a particular person is on the other team, etc). And, as with Backyard Sports titles, there are power-ups: pitches like the Big Freeze, Corkscrew, or Elevator. There's even batting practice, from Tee-ball to Hard difficulties, and a Spectator mode to let two teams duke it out while you watch. Play a single game, or an entire season (winning pennants and trophies and maybe getting into the Hall of Fame), or even online against other BB2001 players. Pick a Backyard Sports team or create your own, or pick from 30 licensed MLB teams (with uniforms and logos).

As coach, you pick from either the 30 fictitious Backyard Kits, 31 real major league players portrayed as kids, or both.
