Mouse control added FINALLYI am very excited that they added mouse control so I can actually use the Magic Keyboard mouse and see where the cursor is. The reason it is not 5 is because the cursor is still missing everywhere but the actual plays (the clubhouse and playbook the cursor is missing), but the game plays very similarly to how I remember from back when, and will revisit the review if the cursor gets added so that it shows everywhere, not just on the field..Version: 1.4.22
Nostalgia overload, clunky controlsI have to give this 5 stars because of the immediate nostalgia playing this game. Steve Young throwing to Pablo Sanchez again, what more could you want? The controls are a bit clunky. Especially for quarterback runs. It’s very easy to accidentally throw the ball when trying to cut up field. You have to tap behind the line of scrimmage and then drag. But this means your hand will be obscuring the screen. It’s doable, but I had to practice for a bit to get the hang of it. In general, the idea of tapping where to run off leads to your hand obscuring the screen quite often. This game would probably benefit from a joystick style of controls, at least as an option. Compared to a game like retro bowl, the gameplay will never live up to that. However, I didn’t download this game expecting modern fast paced gameplay I downloaded it for nostalgia’s sake. And in that way it delivers. I doubt I’ll play this much beyond one season though..Version: 1.4.24
A Hit With the Kids!I just picked up the new Backyard Football and I’m glad to say it’s every bit as fun as I remembered. The gameplay is smooth, easy to jump into, and full of those classic 5-on-5 plays and power-ups that make every game exciting. What I love most is how much my kids enjoy it. They picked it up right away and now we’re all playing together. It’s simple enough for them to have fun, but still competitive enough to keep me engaged too. The new fictional teams add a fun twist, and it feels like the perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh energy. If you’re looking for a game that’s family-friendly, easy to play, and just plain fun, this one is a winner. Backyard Football really proves that some classics never lose their magic..Version: 1.4.22
Thanks dude perfect gaming!I found backyard baseball from dude perfect gaming and loved it then I found out that the playground productions team made a football game and got it right away. this game is amazing and very funny though I have some suggestions like replace chuck downfield with Vinny the gooch at least for pick up games and I think you should make it easier to control the halfback because you can’t control him well until he’s past the line of scrimmage making it hard to dodge tackles but all in all just an amazing game keep up the good work playground productions team!.Version: 1.4.24
Best football game on the App StoreThis game is amazing. No nostalgia whatsoever, game was created before I was even born and have never played this until a couple days ago. This game is easily the best football video game on this app, combining arcadey action with realisticness in playbook strategy like in real football. Retro bowl doesn’t even allow defense to be played, nor choose plays, making this game so much better in my opinion..Version: 1.4.24
FumblingDon’t get me wrong. This is a very fun game and all of that everything’s fine but also the Hocus Pocus play when my receiver does that I can barely throw it because the screen is not big enough and also every time I get the ball to one of my players they fumble like when I got a kick off ball they fumbled. Had five fumbles in the first half of football so if you could please fix the fumbling..Version: 1.4.24
Saving IssuesThe game is amazing. Absolutely love it. But it is so frustrating to finish a game, go back to your teams screen, and then the game doesn’t save somehow. I’ve had to replay multiple games I already won. If that were corrected the game would be perfect.Version: 1.4.24
Please bring basketball and soccer to MobleThese are some of my favorite sports game and seeing 3 days ago they just released the football version which I just had to get.I love this and the baseball and knowing backyard soccer is on pc they at least got to bring soccer or basketball in at least a month..Version: 1.4.24
Nostalgia and smooth play but too easyI remember when I played as a kid I stopped playing because it was too easy even on Hard mode. The same thing happens here as an adult. Even using no Pros, it’s too easy to blow out an opponent every time. Especially when special plays are gifted so often. No desire to keep playing when you win 35-7 every game..Version: 1.4.22
Fun!!So much fun I’m happy they brought football back. I agree with others though it’s too easy/the controls aren’t the best. Most running plays I will accidentally throw the ball instead of run.Version: 1.4.24
Great game but wish they had different uniform colorsEvery team has the same colors for the most part. Wish they had some teal teams or some different shades of blue, orange, red and so on..Version: 1.4.27
Almost perfect!Thank you for this game!!! I think there may be a bug where the opposing team throws a long throw and the player “jumps” like 15 to 20 yards to catch the ball magically. Could yall fix that?.Version: 1.4.27
Fun gameIt’s very fun but there are some audio and visual bugs. It is just released so can’t really complain and hopeful that it’ll be fixed soon..Version: 1.4.22
