Backyard Soccer is a series in the Backyard Sports franchise, developed and published by Atari. It was first released in 1998 for the PC and Mac and was released for the PlayStation in 2001.

Synopsis

Template:Spoiler You start by picking a team and its players. Your team begins in "B" Division, the lowest level. If your team is in the top four by midseason, it will be invited to the Off-The-Wall Indoor Invitational. The indoor tournament consists of 8 teams, four from the BSL and four exclusive indoor teams. The invitational is available in all three divisions. If your team finishes the season in the top two, it will advance to the "A" Division, the second highest level. If your team finishes in the top two, it will advance to the Premiership (otherwise known as "Premier" Division). If your team wins the Premier Division, it will be invited to the Astonishingly Shiny Cup of All Cups Cups Tournament (a spoof of the World Cup Games). The tournament is split into four tables of four teams apiece. If your team finishes in the top two in your table, it will be placed in an eight team bracket of all top two finishers. If your team can win the three games, it will be presented the Astonishingly Shiny Cup of All Cups. Regardless of the tournament outcome, your team will be placed back in the Premier Division for another chance at the Cup.

Trivia

  • This is the first game in the Backyard Sports series where you can see the players in their common appearaces, which is different than Backyard Baseball.
