Backyard Football 2006 - PC

My son loves it

Obviously, this isn't really a review, but my brother is having a really hard time figuring out how to kick the ball in season mode. We read the directions, did what it said, and still nothing. He said he can kick the ball in a "pick-up" game, just not in a season game. So..... if anyone knows how to kick the ball in season mode, PLEASE tell!!!!

I was playing Backyard Football 2002 and wanted to try a newer version .. this one really disappointed me. The controls were awful and the fun gameplay the old ones had just.... wasn't there. I didn't even recognize the players. I played this game for an hour before I boxed it back up to be given away or something. 2 stars because maybe I didn't realize what they had done with the newer versions.. but I don't like it.

Wrong item it was okay

Backyard football 2006 is really great. I have played backyard football 2002 and I think that this is just as good as it. Granted there are some major differences in how you run the plays. This game feels like Madden just a lot simpler. You hike the ball and then actually play, as the QB witch is not like the older versions. I like the layout of this game but I liked the old ones a little better. I also have had trouble kicking the ball. But in the long run it dose note make a difference. I love this game!!!! If you want a backyard football I would highly recommend this one.

It's awesome

I own other versions which were far more entertaining. The changes were for realism, I guess, but frankly it made the game irritating. Buy an older version.

Grandkids get a lot of fun out of this game, and spend considerable time playing it. It not only teaches them something about football and strategy but helps them to improve their typing or keyboard skills.
