Backyard Soccer '98 App Comments & Reviews
Backyard Soccer '98 Positive Reviews
Fun game but more to be desiredGameplay is great! Feels exactly like playing on the PC back in the day. League play is fun and offers league advancement and increased difficulty, although the difficulty change is not substantial. What is missing is the addition of customizable team names and MLS and women’s players/teams. This is what made the backyard soccer games standout for me in the early 2000s. Hoping for additional release in the soccer line similar to baseball and football!.Version: 1.2.8
Great Classic, Poor Mobile ControlsBackyard Soccer ’98 has tons of nostalgia and charm, but the mobile controls really hold it back. It’s clearly a game that was originally designed for PC, and the touchscreen controls just don’t feel precise or responsive enough for a fast paced soccer game. The characters, visuals, and overall vibe are still fun, but actually controlling the players on mobile can be frustrating at times. This feels more like a direct port than a game redesigned for mobile play. Worth trying for nostalgia, but be aware that the controls may impact your enjoyment..Version: 1.2.8
Great but looking forward to backyard hockey 🏒I personally hate soccer but am a huge fan of playground productions this game is a great time especially for someone like me who knows nothing about soccer smooth gameplay and easy controls it’s a great game but just a thought to the game creators bring multiplayer and online matchups to backyard baseball football and soccer and hopefully soon backyard hockey looking forward to thanks guys!.Version: 1.2.8
Fun but hard to controlSo excited for this game to be out but it can be really hard and frustrating to control your players if you could add the ability to use a video game controller then that would be awesome.Version: 1.2.8
Please fix the penalty kicksSo whenever I kick the ball towards the top net, it always goes to the middle and the keeper always catches it. I wonder why I try and try to keep going on, but for some reason, I always lose tournament matches whenever the most important because of the setting..Version: 1.2.9
Fun but needs digital analog stick and digital buttonsWould make the game a lot easier and simpler to control and there’s a lot of open space on screen so why not.Version: 1.2.8
UpgradeCould you put a joystick to make it easier to control player and an A and B button for passing shooting tackles and changing players.Version: 1.2.8
I can’t shoot pensThis is a really good game but when I try to shoot penalties and I chose a side I want the ball to go to it goes straight down the middle and I’m in mobile.Version: 1.2.8
Fix the penalty kicking mechanics PLEASE!!!!The original PC version allowing users to aim at a particular part of the goal, not clicking on the ball itself..Version: 1.2.8
How to shoot penalty kicksDrag from the ball to where you want to kick and then tap that spot..Version: 1.2.8

Wish the game was full screenI loved this game as a kid and of course it’s nostalgic for the game to be in a square format for old pc games. but having the game remastered and created for the smart phone i feel like they could’ve made it fit the screen. have the controls so smushed into the center of the screen..Version: 1.2.8
