Not Appropriate for Kids!

Backyaard Football 2004 is way too inappropriate for da yunggunz. Other kids tackling other kids is not right for kids. My son bought this game and the next day he went to the principles' office for tackling a preschooler and the kid went to the hospital and fractured is head bone. So as you can see, don't buy this game for your kids. XOXOXOXOXO

The Complete And Total Destruction Of A Perfect Game

It is truly remarkable that one of the greatest games ever made for PC was so easily and utterly destroyed in the 2003 version by a completely unbearable voice track. The voices are so mechanical, repetitive, and grating that it is impossible to play the game for more than ten minutes without turning off your speakers or tearing out your hair. The upgrades and updates to the game certainly don't outweigh this horrific failure; it is hard to believe that anyone at Humongous tested this game because no sensible person would have released it to market....

I purchased this game for my daughter for Christmas and it had a defect in the install program. I returned it for another, and the same problem occurred. I have all the system requirements, but I think a bad batch was made. Be careful!

My son got this game for the holidays and we have had nothing but problems with it. This relates to the Backyard Soccer 2004 edition. It will not even play on my son's machine which is so far ahead of the minimum requirements it is ridiculous. Tech support has been horrible as all they keep saying is to reinstall video and sound drivers. They are also big fans of changing the monitor settings. I was able to get the game to work on a different machine, but even on that machine the game would suffer fatal crashes. I'm awaiting yet another e-mail from tech support. I have requested information about returning the game or exchanging it for another. If they tell me they I have to return it to the store I will go beserk as it was a gift from family in Florida and everyone knows how easy it is to return opened software

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: YOU GUYS MADE AN AWFUL GAME HERE. You had a lot of mistakes, which were these:::

- You need all 30 NBA Arenas, not just made-up ones of your own.
- You need these NBA Players:

Kevin Garnett
LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Tracy McGrady
Shawn Marion
Dwyane Wade
Tim Duncan
Amare Stoudemire
Shaquille O'Neal
Paul Pierce
Rasheed Wallace
Steve Francis
Vince Carter
Allen Iverson

Well, what about having Old School Ballers?

Charles Barkley
Larry Bird (Goodies)
Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain (Goodies)
Bob Cousy
Clyde (The Glide) Drexler
Julius (Dr. J) Erving (Goodies)
Patrick Ewing
Walt Fraizer
George Gervin (Goodies)
Earvin (Magic) Johnson
Michael Jordan
Karl Malone
Moses Malone (Goodies)
George Mikan (Goodies)
Chris Mullin
Hakeem Olajuwon
Scottie Pippen
David Robinson (Goodies)
Bill Russell (Goodies)
John Stockton
Isiah Thomas (Goodies)
Bill Walton
Lenny Wilkens
Dominique Wilkins (Goodies)
and James Worthy

You also made mistakes in Season Play:::

- You let us draft only 5 players instead of 12.
- You had only 14 games in Regular Season, not 82 games.
- You need 4-7 games in each round of the playoffs, not just 1.
- There should be an All-Star Weekend (just like the NBA one) in the middle of the season.
- You should let us have a franchise just like an NBA franchise, and YOU NEED TO INCLUDE A DRAFT.
- Next time, you should also try to put the season from the last Tuesday of October (or the first Tuesday of November if too early) to the third Wednesday in April.

You also made mistakes in Appearances:::

- Depending on a player's height, you should put them anywhere from 6"0 to 7"6.

- Depending on a player's weight, you should put them anywhere from 150 lbs. to 350 lbs.

- In uniforms, the uniforms should appear like their real life NBA format.

- The characters should look 3-D, not 2-D and the NBA players should look like their real-life themselves.

- The pros should have pro photos of them playing basketball.

You also made mistakes in stations applicable for this game:

- This time you should have put PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, and the PC for stations applicable for this game.

- Next time (if 2005), you should put PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo GameCube, and the PC for stations applicable for this kind of next edition.

- Next time (if 2006 or later), you should put PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Nintendo Revoulotion and the regular PC for stations applicable for this kind of next edition.

So I add it up, and you have...

16 MISTAKES! UNBELIEVABLE! NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD TRY AND FIX THESE MISTAKES SO BACKYARD BASKETBALL WOULD BE A MUCH BETTER GAME AND SO MUCH MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE BUYING IT AND WHEN IT COMES, IF YOU DO THAT, IT'LL BE SO POPULAR.

boreing!
