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. -- 2Asher, 2025-09-15 ### ****- "Fumbling" Don’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. -- jfficieucuf, 2025-09-13 ### **--- "Needs better controls" Needs an analog stick for player movement. There is plenty of space since the game doesn’t take up the whole screen. Also pretty laggy. When I click a play there is like a 2 sec delay -- DustinRPremo, 2025-09-13 ### ***** "Please bring basketball and soccer to Moble" These 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. -- 67 guy 1, 2025-09-12 ### ****- "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 -- Jammermonkey9393939, 2025-09-12 ### ***** "." One of the best old school games out. -- SaltUponWounds_, 2025-09-11 ### ***** "Good game" Controller support please -- Micah26soccer, 2025-09-11 ### ***** "So happy this is back" Plays just as well as I remember. So happy the Backyard Sports team brought this back. -- JoeShmo1010, 2025-09-10 ### ***** "Nostalgia overload, clunky controls" I 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. -- Dasrty, 2025-09-10 ### *---- "Refund Needed" Without question this is the worst Iphone game I’ve ever played let alone payed for. Refund should be issued to me and everyone. -- money1242455, 2025-09-10 [View all Backyard Football '99 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Backyard Football '99 Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United States | Games | #143 | ## Backyard Football '99 Discovered Keywords - backyard football '99 ## Apps Similar to Backyard Football '99 - [Snood Original](https://apptail.io/app/snood-original-ohjf/united-states) - [Pocket Tanks Deluxe](https://apptail.io/app/pocket-tanks-deluxe-pgUi/united-states) - [The Chase - World Tour](https://apptail.io/app/the-chase-world-tour-BUmo/united-states) - [Ticket to Ride®](https://apptail.io/app/ticket-to-ride-Tito/united-states) - [Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?](https://apptail.io/app/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-HTIo/united-states) - [Lume Emulator](https://apptail.io/app/lume-emulator-BZGq/united-states) - [BetOPENLY](https://apptail.io/app/betopenly-NGYt/united-states) - [Big Time Sports](https://apptail.io/app/big-time-sports-Bzzu/united-states) - [Bouncy War](https://apptail.io/app/bouncy-war-aaWu/united-states) - [Football Bros](https://apptail.io/app/football-bros-TqQv/united-states) ## Backyard Football '99 Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/backyard-football-99-HOJw/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/backyard-football-99-HOJw/canada) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/backyard-football-99-HOJw/mexico) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/backyard-football-99-HOJw/united-kingdom) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/backyard-football-99-HOJw/australia) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/backyard-football-99-HOJw/new-zealand) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/backyard-football-99-HOJw/egypt) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
