About this game
A console version of Backyard Soccer based on the MLS Edition minus the MLS license, the game mechanics mostly follow that of the computer versions -- pick a field, pick a team name and colors, and choose who you want to be on your team.
You may also play through a season.

Although it may sound like the same game, the ball physics and player movement is entirely different from the PC/Macintosh versions.
It can be seen as less realistic; the players and ball move far more stiffly than in the computer versions.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Backyard Soccer for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Backyard Soccer to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1998.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Backyard Soccer, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
