HUDDLE UP FOR BACKYARD FOOTBALL

Backyard Football 1999 is now enhanced to run on modern systems. Whether you're picking Jerry Rice or Barry Sanders for your dream team, rushing with Pete Wheeler, scoring touchdowns with Pablo Sanchez, or enjoying the witty banter of hosts Sunny Day and Chuck Downfield, simple controls let anyone pick up and play football!

GAME MODES
Single Game: With 5 backyard fields and unique weather condition settings, players can pick their team, design their team logos, and play a pick-up game!
Season Mode: Players can draft seven players from the 30 iconic Backyard Sports characters and a collection of legendary pros including Barry Sanders, Jerry Rice, John Elway, Dan Marino, Randall Cunningham, Drew Bledsoe and Steve Young to compete against 15 other teams in the Backyard Football League. Each team plays a 14-game season. By the end of the regular season, the 4 division champions and 4 wild card teams enter the Backyard Football League Playoffs to compete for the Super Colossal Cereal Bowl!

EARN CLASSIC POWER UPS
Earn power-ups by completing passes on offense and sacking the opposing QB on defense.

Offensive
• Hocus Pocus – A pass play which results in a receiver teleporting down field.
• Sonic Boom – A run play which causes an earthquake to knock over the opposing team.
• Leap Frog – A run play which causes your running back to leap down field.
• Super Punt – A very powerful punt!

Defensive
• Cough Drop – A play that causes the opponent to fumble when tackled.
• Chameleon – A trick play that results in your team wearing the other team's colors for ultimate confusion.
• Spring Loaded – A play that causes your player to leap over the line of scrimmage to sack the QB.

Backyard Football '99 Positive Reviews

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

Great game and I got a recommendationI love the whole trilogy of these games, actually, to say how much I like them, I beat every one of them on my phone! To sum it up, I love these games, but I have a recommendation. Are the people working on these games making Backyard Soccer next? Because I beat Baseball twice and Football twice too, but I have not beat the soccer version yet. I want the developers to tell me if you are making the soccer version, because if you do, I’ll be very happy:).Version: 1.4.27

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

Set Hut!After playing just one game, I can already tell that this has the same level of quality as the previous ports of the backyard sports series, which is a great sign! I was a bit worried that it would be difficult to play on such a small screen, but I was once again surprised to be proven wrong, as thankfully controlling a team of five is a lot easier than I thought. My only problem is that I cannot seem to change any of the difficulties settings for this season. I’m not sure if that was part of the original game, I would like to have a higher difficulty in my season. But overall, if you enjoyed the original game as a kid, then I highly recommend you try this out!.Version: 1.4.27

Great game, but it has a very small bugGreat game, I love how you can play it on mobile now, there is a tiny bug which is more funny than anything, somehow my punter (Dimitri of course) has an average pint of 1538 yards per punt, if you somehow didn’t know there’s only 120 yards in a football field, and I think it could be related to the ‘super punt’ going out of bounds as only 1 of my saves has that glitch..Version: 1.4.27

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

Childhood memories on PC Growing upMissed playing this with my little sister growing up we had fun while inside but usually was outside all the time. Had to get! 93’ baby ❤️.Version: 1.4.37

Game is alright.Need to have a digital analog stick and button. Lot of times when you run the ball you’ll try to tap to run but the running back will pass the ball..Version: 1.4.33

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

Best football game everHow in the world did they bring this back without source? I love the new characters and especially the teams!!.Version: 1.4.22

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

Choose Home FieldIve loved this game since I was a kid. I would suggest that like baseball, you can select the home field for the season mode..Version: 1.4.27

NostalgiaAwesome to get to play on the phone and have these moments. But please bring Achievements?! I saw them on the STEAM versions, please give iOS achievements too!.Version: 1.4.24

Remote optionsPlease allow remote play.Version: 1.4.37

This game made “Touchdown!” My favorite wordCome on, you can’t compete with any of these games, this is the best game on earth, better than: Minecraft, Among Us, Fortnite, Madden, and Geometry Dash..Version: 1.4.34

G.O.T.Y.The backyard sports franchise was my entire childhood. Words can’t describe how happy I am that they are back. Beautifully remade, these guys went above and beyond..Version: 1.4.34

Season modeLove the game but why on season mode you can only play on one field can that be changed?.Version: 1.4.35

So happy this is backPlays just as well as I remember. So happy the Backyard Sports team brought this back..Version: 1.4.24

ADD CONTROLLER SUPPORTThis game is very fun but they are lacking a dedicated controller support, on phone it’s hard to play by touch. A controller would elevate the backyard football experience. Thank you!.Version: 1.4.37

Backyard football 99I loved this game growing up. Please let us backbone support.Version: 1.4.37

Good but buggyI can’t change the difficulty setting in my season. I also can’t throw deep because the WR goes off screen.Version: 1.4.34
