Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

Coach your favorite Backyard athletes to the championship, play a pick-up-game on your favorite field, and listen to classic commentators Sunny Day and Earl Grey.
Backyard Soccer ‘98 captures the playful spirit of youth soccer. Play 6-on-6 soccer with point-and-click controls for passing, defending and scoring! Start a pick-up game for instant play or create a coach for League Play. In League Play, select 8 kids of your choice and work your way to the top of each division. If you play well enough to qualify, you’ll compete in the “Astonishingly Shiny Cup of All Cups Tournament” against kids from all over the world!
SOCCER FOR EVERYONE
Play soccer like you did with friends in your neighborhood!
• 30 Iconic Kid Athletes
• 20 Unique Soccer Fields
• Intense tie-breaking shoot-outs
• Comical Power-ups
• Hilarious Bloopers
• Lively commentary from Sunny Day and Earl Grey
• Multiple Divisions and Tournaments
To kick things off, choose a player and face Mr. Clanky for some penalty kick practice. This is where you can practice this crucial game deciding skill.
THE LEGEND CONTINUES
Backyard Soccer featured arguably the most iconic video game athlete of the 90s or any era - Pablo Sanchez. Play with the legend himself or choose your favorites and relive what made Backyard Soccer 1998 a cult classic.
Game Modes include:
• Pick-up Game: Instant play! The computer chooses a random team for you and itself and the game starts immediately.
• Friendly Match: Build a roster to play a single game against another computer controlled team in your division.
• Spectator: Sit back and watch two teams of Backyard kids face off against each other in what is sure to be an exciting game of soccer.
• Penalty Kicks: Practice shooting and defending penalty kicks against Mr. Clanky.
• League Play: Pick your team name, uniform colors, and players to compete in the Backyard Soccer League. Manage the team through a soccer season. The opposing teams are computer generated. If your team is in the top four by mid-season in any division, you’ll score an invite to the Off-The-Wall Indoor Invitational. If you finish a season as a top two team, you’ll move up to a stronger division. After winning the Premier Division, you’ll compete in the Astonishingly Shiny Cup of All Cups Tournament!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
At our core, we are fans first – not just of video games, but of the Backyard Sports franchise. Fans have asked for accessible and legal ways to play their original Backyard titles for years, and we are excited to deliver.
