The learning curve is easy overall. The only problem I've seen is small
children may have problems kicking a field goal or P.A.T or the K.O. This
takes some dexterity that a child under six may not have. The game gives a
recommended play for each down so very easy to play. I liked it. Animation
very simple.3 stars for animation. 5 stars for fun. Overall a four!

This game is not challenging at all.

Way too easy, meant for young kids.

The game is way too easy if you're an experienced player. Even set on hard, it's not a challenge. The good point is that the play selection is extensive.

Disappointing, but playable

I really enjoyed backyard hockey. I liked the detail (the different play of each rink, line changes, off sides and 2line pass rules), creating lines based on player strengths and being able to change line ups based on fatigue without slowing down the play and the controls and moves were intuitive and fit hockey play.

Unfortunately, backyard football lacked the just about everything that I liked about backyard football. There is some playablility in this game, but I got tired of it quickly. I liked the trick plays, and I messed around with the playbook, but the competition was never challenging for a single player. In fact, once I got a lead in a game, the challenge was running out the clock and getting to the next game. I was very very very disappointed in this game, especially since most backyard games are fun and this wasn't.

A Kids Opinion

I think this game is a good game for people ages 7-10 and for kids that know how to play football. I like it alot because it lets you make your own team and player. It is better than Backyard Skateboarding. Plus you have a season and real NFL teams. It is the best game!!!

GREAT GAME !!!

This is a awesome game. It is really fun. I like to make my own players. I play it a lot. They have cool power plays and also have tricky plays.

O.K. but the computer games are much better.......

This is an okay game but there are a few problems...

PROBLEMS
1. it's pretty darn easy even on the HARD level.

2. you can get a touchdown just about every drive

3. you can intercept just about every pass

4. gameplay is too slow

5. The graphics are not too great

GOOD STUFF

1. You can create your own player

2. You can create your own team

3. It has some pro players and still the backyard kids

4. There are different stadiums

Well, thats all. The backyard games are better for other systems though so check those games out if you have PC or Game Cube.

Good but not great

My 8 year old son LOVES this game. We got the 2003 version and he could not stop playing it.... Then for Christmas he begged for the 2004 version. He plays it for hours, without asking one question, which is saying a lot..... He also loves Backyard Baseball. We now have Backyard Football 2003 & 2004 for PC, and now Backyard Football for Gameboy .... so he can play against his friends.....
