Backyard Soccer MLS Edition is a children's soccer video game developed by Humongous Entertainment and released in 2000 as part of the Backyard Sports series.[2] It is the second game in the Backyard Soccer subseries and the fifth Backyard Sports title overall. Unlike the first Backyard Soccer, this game features Major League Soccer (MLS) teams and players,[3] as well as three women from the United States women's national soccer team that won the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup,[2] the first time that female professional athletes were represented in the Backyard Sports series. Aimed at children ages 5 to 10,[2] the game includes international soccer players such as the Dallas Burn's Jason Kreis and female player Brandi Chastain, but with the added twist that all the MLS and USWNT players are drawn as child caricatures in the game.[2][3][4] The game was released for the Macintosh and Windows platforms.[3] A planned release for the Game Boy Color was cancelled.[5]
