History for Headscratchers/BackyardSports

** My personal interpretation is that they're the kids of all the ''other'' neighborhoods. Considering the insane amount of people they have to recruit for a whole season [[note]]Take the original ''Baseball'' for example: in a single season, you play seven teams in the regular season, then two in the playoffs, plus we see that the opposing team you play in the final series of games also plays another team of their own in the playoffs -- at nine players per team and ten witnessed teams total, that is ''ninety players total''. And that's not even counting the fact that there's other conferences we don't even get to see![[/note]], it's not a surprise they'd have to consult other neighborhoods to get the proper amount. I imagine that, because the Backyard Kids don't know the players personally, they just see them as generic kids they've never met before -- and as such, that's how we also see them.

** It's probably in actuality an RC controlled blimp, but it's so close to the camera that it looks actual size.

*** Not sure it helped too much. I'd been playing the games for a while and actually liked the fact that the characters were a bit younger. It helped make the more bizarre events fit in.

* The NPC kids. Where do they come from? Why do they change appearance from game to game? [[hottip:*:To elaborate on the latter, I'll take an NPC from recent experience, say... Debby Nagasawa. In ''Baseball '05'', she's white with blonde hair. In ''Hockey '05'', she has black hair and asian skin.]]

* This can probably be chalked up to RuleOfCool, but in ''Baseball''-- where'd they get a blimp? [[hottip:*:In a later iteration (''Baseball 2005''), it's replaced with a biplane]]

**** In that case, I guess it's because the characters all got a redesign [[strike:when the games went 3D.]] Sorry, I got confused; [[DidNotDoTheResearch I didn't know]] there was a ''Hockey '03''.
***** The games actually didn't go 3D during that period. But yes, they did get a redesign.
