Backyard Sports/Headscratchers


 * How come the characters do not age at all for a few games, and then jump three years the next?
 * Which game are you referring to? 'Cause if it's Baseball 2007, that's probably a result of the Continuity Reboot.
 * Nope, I'm referring from Baseball 03 to Hockey.
 * In that case, I guess it's because the characters all got a redesign.
 * The NPC kids. Where do they come from? Why do they change appearance from game to game?


 * This can probably be chalked up to Rule of Cool, but in Baseball-- where'd they get a blimp?


 * Why does Hockey (can't remember which iteration) butcher all the kid's designs?
 * Because Humongous wanted to appeal to an older audience.


 * How was Atari allowed to use NFL teams and players when EA had an exclusive license?
