User reviews

Great game only one thing

Great game overall. Highly recommend. Only thing is when I use Pete Wheeler, he seems like he has 2 speed instead of his normal 4. Is this a glitch, or has he been nerfed?

Amazing game

Gonna throw back to this game, classic characters there isn’t still some bugs, but it’s OK

Backyard baseball is but add hockey to mobile

I love backyard baseball I play the football game too and I like it too I can’t say really anything bad about the backyard series but please add backyard hockey to mobile I know a lot of people would love it

Great but need to fix bugs.

Love this game, but for a long time now season mode doesn’t record stats correctly. Please fix the bug to record season stats.
