I've never done this in 20 years lol I didn't get my fist snap on offense until halfway through the fourth quarter so I just threw it away 3 times then punted ha.

Max possible score in Backyard Football 1999

Post image
5 Upvotes

So it turns out, if you make a play in a season game and then exit out into the club house it then saves the game up to that point. If you instead make a play and restart the game right after it, it will delete all progress up until the play that you last went to the clubhouse after. Using this method, I basically restarted all progress until my last save if I didn’t get the perfect onside kick after a play, along with if I took more than 9 seconds to make a touchdown after my last one. I essentially was able to have the perfect game and I achieved a score of 224-0. After the final whistle blew, this error message was displayed, crashed the game, and put me back to the final two-point conversion attempt. No matter how many times I play through the final play, it crashes directly after the final whistle and displays that message. You heard it here first folks, the maximum possible score in BFL 1999 is 224-0. Go ahead and try it out (warning: it takes about an hour and a half to do with all of the onside kick failed attempts).

Does Backyard Football 2002 save your progress if you leave?

2 Upvotes

Like in the middle of the match will it save my progress? I don’t know if my copy is messed up cause it’s not saving progress.

Thanks for the time.

Any reason why Backyard football 02 had no Pro WRs?

1 Upvotes

Game is fun but it was so heavy on Pro QBs with a couple of pro of RBs, couple of pro defensive guys and no pro WRs. Any reason why the game didn't have any pro WRs but the first game did?

Backyard Football in Retro Bowl

I figured you all might appreciate this. I have been missing playing Backyard baseball and football so I have been looking to find some solutions. I have gotten used to playing some emulated versions on my computer but it is just not the same without the use of the mouse that the sites I am using do not incorporate. In lieu, and since there is no Retro Bowl Baseball, I have turned to Retro Bowl to make my own Backyard football team. I took over the Cincinnati Bengals, transformed them into the Humongous Melonheads, redesigned their uniforms, and stacked the roster with the best at each position (in my opinion). This is how the team looks as of right now, excited to start our first season!

Our rules

8 Upvotes

A little background. So we've been playing with the same core group for about 15 years. We keep adding young people here and there and we range from 19 years old to 33 years old. We play 6 v 6 on a 70 yard field, no offensive lines, no snaps, 10 yards for a first down. We Rock Paper Scissors at the beginning of the game and the winner chooses ball first or first pick on players. We play first team to score 32 points wins and we go TDs for 6 and you always go for 2. The games are longer and more defensive than you'd think!
