Backyard Football if virtually one of the best computer games I have ever played. I'm a girl raised to like football and I even love it. At first I always lost the games I played but If you know the basic rules of football like a second nature and you have a little bit of practice with this game you'll surelyn play it non-stop. Great game I highly recommend.

Backyard football, this one at least, is probably the best football game created for PC's. In this game you can create your team as if it were a draft, and play thru a whole season. If you do good enough then you can proceed to the post season and attempt to win the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl.
Of course this is what happens during the season play mode. Two other modes exist, one of these being an instant game where you can A) choose your team in a draft or B) let the computer choose for you. The second mode of gameplay exists, or existed. This was the online play that was known as the Humongous Sports Network. I don't know if that is still an available feature though, considering there is no Humongous Entertainment company anymore.
When you pick your team you can choose from eight NFL players and 30 other kids. You are limited to only 7 picks though, just like the real NFL Draft. The NFL players are Brett Favre, Dan Marino, John Elway, Randall Cunningham, Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, and one other which I fail to remember. (I'm doing this on memory). I tended to choose Dan Marino as QB and put Jerry Rice at WR. Although Barry Sanders does make a good RB I would put him at Defensive Back and make my own RB if I were you.
Difficulty in the game is wide spread. Easy, this coming from a Maddenite is too easy. However, coming from Madden, where you can change various levels of AI during a game and going to the medium and hard levels of BFL is quite a shock. It is nearly impossible to keep an opponents points off the board and you will lose a game eventually.
Overall the playability of this game is one the highest that you will find and I would recommend it to anybody over the age of five.
