Play with the Pros as kids on Nintendo Game Boy Advance! It’s great football action with the Backyard Kids and real pro players as kids. Little football fans will enjoy choosing from all 32 NFL teams or creating their own with custom team names and uniforms. Call the plays and direct all the action in single games or an entire season’s worth of hard-hitting action. It’s the chance of a lifetime to play with the pros right in your own backyard. [Atari]

IGN
There is a multiplayer mode available which helps the replay value, but it virtually useless since it just takes too much work to try and enjoy the exceedingly flawed gameplay.

Joe S. gave it a6:
Gameplay is funky. Biggest complaint is that when you switch players, it appears to switch from player 1 to player 2... to player 5. Not switching to the player closest to the play, which most of the time proves pretty useless.
