At first this game is too easy. But it has a lot of depth, you can create your own characters, or just pick up a game and play. The fun is in changing around your offensive and defensive playbook and in trading players to try to beat your opponents even better than you do. It's satisfying to win. I'm sick and tired of games like crash bandicoot that just get insanely difficult to win while getting all of the boxes, gems, and apples. I'm sick of playing the last boss of metroid fusion 100 times and still being defeated. I'm sick of having to conserve my bullet-time on Max-Payne only to waste it accidently right before a big battle with no way to replenish it without taking hits. So yeah, as far as Gameboy Advance Games go, Backyard Football Rocks.

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.

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.

The Great Game

I got this game on christmas morning, and when i poped the game in my GBA i had a feeling this was going to be a hard game. i played it for about an hour and then i got used to it. The more you play it becomes easier.
It has 10 pros. they are:Brett Farve,Micheal Vick,Peyton Manning,Jerry Rice,Jeff Garcia, Donavan Mcnabb,Jevon Kerse,Rich Gannon, Terrel Davis, and Ricky Williams. i give the graphics a 7 out of a 10. there are alot of game modes,such as, practice,pick up,Season play,multiplayer,and player cards.
If you are looking for a good football game for kids this is the game.

My son LOVES this game! He can't stop playing it!

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.....

tHIS GAME IS OK.

The first time I played this game it was ok. But after playing it for awhile it got boring. It was way too easy.

Good but not great

They game is sort of fun. This game was fun the first time I played it but now its boring. For one thing it's too easy. Another thing there's not that many people to choos from Back Yard baseball is way better.

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.
