Fast Leveling in Backyard Baseball

Don't expect online multiplayer at launch -- it was confirmed cut just before release, despite earlier marketing describing online play as a feature. Local/couch play and single-player modes are fully available, however.

Since Neighborhood Hero (the hardest tier) only unlocks after clearing the game on Backyard Legend, and Backyard Legend itself requires clearing Playground Pro first, budget real time if you're chasing the full difficulty progression rather than expecting to unlock the hardest tier immediately.
