Talk:Backyard Football (video game)

Image

We need an image for Backyard Football's template. Its cover art should do well. It features Steve Young, Jocinda Smith, a "Backyard Kid", and a Generic Kid. 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:B937:EC7F:C623:E2FF (talk) 00:23, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

I think @WikiPediaAid has that sorted out now. Also the "Backyard Kid" is very likely Amir Khan. Soccer Tees (talk) 18:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Comments left by AfC reviewers

• Comment: Two things: firstly, the gameplay section is not too well sourced - the one citation coming from a media release which isn't cited correctly; you may wish to fix that and complement that section's sources with secondary material. Secondly, notability for video game articles usually hinges on multiple reviews - here there is only one. Best practice is three multiple reliable reviews from WP:VG/S-type sources. Check Metacritic or Mobygames as a first step. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 09:03, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
