Backyard Football

It is one of several sub-series in the Backyard Sports series, and is the first to feature professional players as kids, examples being Steve Young and Barry Sanders. At the single game screen the player can select the field on which he wishes to play, the weather , and the level of difficulty , among various other minor settings. The player selects their coach name, settings, and team before the season and drafts all seven of their players before the CPU picks any for the rest of the computer controlled teams in the league. Backyard Football is the only game along with Backyard Baseball 2001 that offers online play with players across the globe. The goal of the game is to lead a team to Cereal Bowl glory. Like the previous installment in the series, Backyard Sports Football 2007 featured the ability to create your own player, build your own team, play exhibition games or a season mode, and play as a number of NFL players as their childhood lookalikes.
