While it's true that the site is down at the moment, but the company site who owns the rights of the series is still up, but seemingly login protected. http://www.day6sports.com/

Needless to say, it's very suspicious.

P.S. I just looked at Google's cache of the site, and it's nothing but this:

So my theory is that they couldn't be running out of business but had something else in mind. Very strange indeed...

I guess you're right. but, they must have done something with they're computers, because the Mega Morph Super Hoop won't scan!

Whatever. Even if the franchise really were to be abandoned, it wouldn't change much. From what I've heard, its owners already made it clear that they will never re-release the old games because they're licensing nightmares due to all the retired pros whose permission they'd have to get.

And that new game they made some time ago looks horrendous, so they're clearly just seeing the franchise as a way to cheaply squeeze money out of unassuming children. Just like Atari.

Really? I actually liked Backyard Sports Basketball 2015. the app is no longer on google play, though.

Did they just discontinue support for it too soon!?

this forum hasn't been active for a long time, the game is gone. it happened in the middle of 2015 when they shut off their computers and stopped giving people daily bonuses.

That's terrible. When is it coming back?

I don't know, probably this year, though, I mean, they wouldn't shut it down for another year, would they?

No, I hope not...
