Backyard Football is a 2002 sports video game released back in various gaming consoles and platforms including the Game Boy Advance handheld system (GBA). In this game, the player has the ability to play as one of the popular Football players while they are still young. The goal of the game is to lead a team of kids and get the Cereal Bowl Glory. Feb 14, 2013 Backyard Baseball day continues! The MLB already picked their team and now the Backyard kids will pick theirs. The pros did it by cutting players? Puh-lease, that's not the way we do it in the Backyard we pick the best and then figure it out.
Due to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), we are under heavy load of retrogamers wanting to travel back to those old and safe times. Please choose thoroughly every game you download and share the bandwidth with everyone.

The game works fine. You have to use ScummVM to play it on modern computers. Just extract the iso from the zip, then extract the contents of the ISO to a folder. Install ScummVM and point it to the folder you extracted the ISO to.

So everything runs fine but when I open the game again it wants to reinstall. Any suggestions?

Anyone have trouble with this download? I got it fired up, but once I started a game the screen would freeze on a corner of the field and nothing would happen. Had to close the game via Task Manager

I had it work fine with ScummVM, actually, so maybe there was a problem with your download? Go Bears.

Will this work with ScummVM I was unable to get this to work with Scumm. I think we need a windows version to work like with Backyard Baseball.

What’s at stake in a family, pick-up game of touch football? Usually, just bragging rights. Or, maybe the stakes are higher, e.g., who has to do the dishes after the meal. Whatever the case, it’s important to enter into the game with a plan of attack.
Here are some strategies and tactics to help your team post a “W” and enjoy the spoils that come with victory.
How to Win at Backyard Touch Football
1.) Dress the part. Everyone knows that when you look good, you play good. In this case, players are outfitted with Cabin Crew jerseys from Great Lakes Clothing Company. The cotton jerseys, a collegiate take on women’s crew necks have an over-sized cut giving players plenty of room to stretch for those long passes. (Even if you don’t play football, they’re super comfy and warm). On sunny days, don’t forget to add a little eye black under the eyes. Yeah, it might reduce some glare, but more importantly, it will help intimidate your opponents.
2.) Team selection is half the battle. Lots to factor in here including: speed, size, experience, sibling rivalry, hurt feelings, and more. As with NFL games, pick-up touch football is a quarterback league. Make sure you have a QB who can throw the ball on your team. After that, as tempting as it might be to draft for speed, go for players who have some experience playing football. Things like running routes and catching the ball are difficult to teach in one session. The “best-athlete-available” direction is not a bad approach. Remember you won’t have time to administer a Wonderlic test, so try to pick players who are quick studies.
3.) Put the ball in your best player’s hands. Let your star player star! Position selection and play calling are all about trying to make sure your best player touches the ball a lot on offense. https://treelosangeles839.weebly.com/backyard-football-1998.html. Good things happen when your best player has the ball.
4. https://treelosangeles839.weebly.com/backyard-football-iso.html. ) Creative play calling rules the day. Reverses, laterals-and-then-forward-passes, and of course, the old hook-and-ladder plays should make up at least ½ of your offensive play calling. Also, you’re doing something wrong if a stop-and-go pass route isn’t called on 2 out of 5 pass plays.
5.) Take advantage of your field of play. Try running the curl route around the maple tree. Or, make sure your defender has to run through every puddle or slippery spot on the field. Use the imperfections of your field of play to your team’s advantage.
6.) The early, preemptive celebration. On questionable pass receptions and “did the ball cross the end zone” issues, if you’re on offense, celebrate immediately as if the ball was caught or the ball crossed the line for a TD. An early, and loud celebration dampers any protest attempts by the other team.
7.) Focus on fun. In a short time, the outcome of the game will soon be forgotten, but memories of the experience will last a long time. Let everyone have a shot at quarterback who wants to, don’t take it too seriously and cheer good play from both squads.

7 Killer Plays for Touch Football
Best Football Players Nfl
If you’re looking for some creative plays, try some of these:
1.) The zig-zag pass route. Have 2 players run in zig zag patterns instructing both of them that the pass might come on the zig or the zag.
Backyard football teams. 2.) The crossing brush pattern. Receiver on the left crosses to the right, and the receiver on the right crosses to the left. Both receivers nearly touch shoulders as they pass each other creating difficulties for the defenders.
3.) The question mark pattern. One receiver runs the shape of a question mark.
4.) The angle shotgun. Center hikes it to receiver who is standing a foot behind the line of scrimmage. Quarterback goes out for pass – they always forget to cover the QB – and receiver tosses the touchdown pass.
5.) The Hook-and-Ladder. Receiver A runs a 10 foot button hook. Upon pass completion, receiver A laterals the ball to teammate B who is sprinting to the goal line within lateral range.
6.) The Statue of Liberty play. Quarterback takes ball back as if to pass, and holds it there for a receiver or back to come around, take the ball and run.
7.) The Hail Mary. Everyone goes long and the QB throws it far and high. See Doug Flutie’s pass against Miami in 1984 to fine tune your approach.
