Great Football Game

Hi, I really like this game because:
1. It's Football!
2. The graphics are fair enough
3. The backyard teams are cool and you can make your own player (you can only name them out of the "nicknames" they provide)
4. They have pro players (obviously)
5. And like most Gba games the controls are simple
One thing I don't like is that there is not much difference between the levels so all levels are fairly easy. They are not to easy to enjoy though.If you don't mind please rate my review.

Great Arcade Football for the GBA

I was searching for a good arcade football game for the GBA. I bought Madden 2003 due to positive reviews, but it is heavy on the simulation side and wasn't my type of football. I was leaning towards NFL Blitz for GBA due to my love of it on PS2, but it reviews poorly and is fairly [$$$] considering it rated a 1 out of 10 on [...]. So I bought Backyard Football, based on 2 positive reviews, and it is really fun to play. It is similar to Tecmo Bowl (side view play) and works well for the GBA. It has NFL players as well as fictional children to choose from and you pick all of your players, just like if you were playing backyard football. It has season play and 2 player game-linking, provided you have a second cartridge and a link cable. The music is awesome and sounds good in the background. The graphics are fairly good, although the characters are so small, the details differentiating characters are minimal. All in all, this seems to be the Arcade Football game to get for GBA.

this is a cool 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.

I have a few tips for u guys out there, always and I mean always pick Rice because u can pass to him most of the time at Metro Civic Playgrounds because I picked him and I won every game. Oh yeah on a scale of 1 through 10 i would rate the game 8 or 9. If you read this THANK YOU.

This game is lots of fun but it is WAY to easy so if you are a pro gamer that beats games in 1 day look further. If you just want a game thats fun and well made buy it

This game rocks.

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.

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.

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.
