Hints: Recommended quarterback:
The best free agent quarterback is Michael Bishop.
He is only rated at 79, but outperforms Kurt Warner, Rich Gannon,
and almost every other quarterback in the league. Sign him then
use him only in the second half of the game and he will be extremely
accurate.
Hints: Recommended offensive plays:
Go to create a playbook, select offense, then create
the following formation. You can name it as desired:
x xxxxxx
x
x
x
x
Create this play. Everyone run blocks except have your fullback
block, lead far right. Have your half back do a hop step sprint
right. If done correctly, just follow your halfback during a game
and the hole will open up. If you play as the Raiders, this strategy
is usually good for at least 8 yards.
On offense, you can get cheap with your QB, especially a fast
one. Line up in a shotgun set with one back if you have it. Try
to find a play where your back flares out and your strong side
receiver runs across the middle. The defense's LBs should pick
up the back and receiver, leaving the DB to be in a deep zone.
You should have a huge hole. Drop your passing icons and make
a mad run for the first down. Either dive, slide, run out of bounds;
or slow down to take a hit because very few QBs can take a full
shot and hang on to the ball. This strategy has a 95% success
rate and only fails if the defense is good or your OT makes a
mistake.
Hints: Kevin Butler:
Get a gold rank in P-Coffin Corner Punt under the All-Madden
level.
Hints: Better draft pick:
If you have a first place team and you know its going
to be very late in the draft, trade with a last place team. Sometimes
you can even get a first and second round pick for just your first.
This is a very good way to get young players on your already good
team.
Get any player or draft pick you want during franchise mode. After
the regular season, such as during the playoffs or immediately
before the Superbowl, go to create a player and make a quarterback.
Make him 45 years old so that he will immediately retire when
the season is over. Next, make him a 99 overall. Sign him from
the free agency and trade him for any player or draft pick that
you desire. You can do this as many times as you need, and can
get ten first round picks and every player desired.
Note: This trick requires
NCAA Football 2003
. Go to Create
A Player in
NCAA Football 2003
and make players with all
their attributes all the way up. Alternately, edit everybody on
your team and make everyone seniors. Go to dynasty mode then go
to the off-season. All of your seniors will graduate. Export the
draft class. Then, on
Madden NFL 2003, import that draft
class and all the people that you created will be there. You should
get some of the players that you drafted. Repeat this as needed.
Hints: Mike Singletary:
Get a gold rank in the LB Chase and Tackle drill in
mini-camp mode under the All-Madden level.
Hints: Break tackles:
To easily break tackles as a running back, alternately
hit
L
and
R
immediately before you get tackled.
Hints: Onside kick:
Turn off penalties. When you are about kick the ball
when starting or after you scored, choose one of the onside kicks.
When you go to kick, move it all the way over and down. For example,
if your kicker is kicking off facing towards the left, move it
all the way over towards the left and all the way down. You should
get the ball every time.
When you score, just before the kickoff, hit
Start. Select
'Settings', then 'Gameplay'. Select 'Easy
play' and turn it on. You can now do an onside kick to your
team. You can then turn 'Easy play' off, or keep it
on.
Move the arrow all the way to the right and down. Try to get the
meter as low as possible and you will regain the ball every time.
Choose any of the onside kick formations during the kickoff. Move
the arrow so that the tip of it touches the left hash mark two
yards from the ball for a right legged kicker, or right hash mark
two yards away for a left legged kicker. Kick the ball with half
power [in between the red and yellow area] and perfect accuracy
[in the yellow area]. This works 80% of the time if done correctly.
Hints: Lower team's overall salary:
One way to lower a team's overall salary is to cut
certain players' salaries. You can do this with players that have
low attributes but high salaries. To do this, go to 'Rosters'
and select 'Edit player'. Select a player on the team
that has a low overall rating [anything under the low 80s] and
has a high salary. When you choose to edit the players 'Attributes',
you will notice that his salary decreases. Do not change anything
in his attributes and exit out. You have now made your first budget
cut of the season.
Hints: Field goal block:
Choose the punt block play. Substitute your fastest
player into the returner's position. For a right-footed kicker,
stand on the right side about three yards from the line. Go full
speed when the ball is hiked and dive.
Hints: Barry Sanders:
Get a gold rank in the RB Ground Attack drill in mini-camp
mode under the All-Madden level.
To do this easier, play as Anthony Thomas. On any outside play,
such as pitch right handoff sweep, etc., move the secondary over
and cut back. This will force them to follow you. Your fullback
and yourself can have a dead shot at the end zone. Remember to
do this quickly, any other play like right up the middle, just
juke and try to plow them over.
Hints: Cheaper player:
When you have an expensive player, you can release
him and sign him for less money.
Hints: Easier gold in mini-camp mode:
Create a player and trade him to the team that you
are doing the drill with. Make sure that the created player is
playing the position of the person that you are trying to complete
the drill with. For example, Ronde Barber is the corner back in
the Defensive Swat Pass drill. If you create a corner back and
make his attributes all 99, put him on the Buccaneers and make
him the starting or number one cornerback. Then, he will do the
drill. You may do this with any person on any drill. You may also
make the people who you are going against in the drill 'sorrier'.
If you know their names, go to their attributes and turn them
all the way down.
Hints: Jan Stenerud:
Get a gold rank in Clutch Kicking Drill in mini-camp
mode under the All-Madden level.
Hints: Get any player:
Use the following trick to get any player in a trade
without the other team rejecting. In the franchise mode, create
a player as a quarterback and move his attributes until you get
to 99 points. Then, put his injury and stamina down to 0. This
will not change the attribute point level. Sign him as a free
agent then trade him to any team for anybody you want. When you
play the team he is playing for, after a couple of plays he will
either become injured or will be taken out of the game for his
weak stamina. No team will refuse your trade and you will have
any player you want on your team.
When playing in franchise mode you can trade for any player you
want without having that trade turned down. Go into the create
a player menu and create a QB that is all 99s. Sign that player
to your team then trade him to another team that has a player
that you want. To make the trick even better, you can add another
player from their team to the trade that is in the 80s -- this
will be a 2-for-1 trade. When the trade is complete, exit out
to the franchise main menu and enter back into the create a player
menu. Go back into the QB's attributes and edit them all the way
down to 0s and then go back into the trade screen. Take the second
player in the deal and trade him back to the team for the created
QB. You can then start the whole process over by going into the
create a player menu and editing his attributes all the way up
again.
If you want to get anybody [including 99 rated players] get Corey
Dillon on your team. You can trade him for anyone. The only two
players that you can get together are Charles Woodson [Oakland]
and Sebastian Janikowski [Oakland]. Also, play or simulate all
but one week. Select 'Standings' to learn which team
is worst and trade with Corey Dillon for their first, second,
and third round picks.
Hints: Marshals secret team:
Have a saved game file from another EA Sports football
game on your memory card.
Hints: Steve Young:
Get a gold rank in QB Precision Passing [St. Louis
Rams] under the All-Madden level.
Hints: Good kick/punt returns:
When you are receiving a punt, select punt left or
right and run that same direction. You should see people chasing
you, but if your blockers are good enough, they should give you
enough room and time for a large return. When you are receiving
a kick, select left or middle [recommended]. If you have a fast
kick returner who can break a tackle, run straight up the pipe.
You should make it a long way for a touchdown or a huge gain.
If you chose left, do the same thing as the punt; follow your
receivers.
Hints: Former NFL coaches:
In franchise mode, go to create a coach and enter a
former NFL coach's full name [for example, Don Shula] and all
his former stats should appear.
Hints: City name spoken:
When creating a custom team, use the a city where an
NFL team plays as your custom team's home city. The refs and the
PA announcer will say your team's city.
Hints: Cheerleader and Pump Up Crowd Cards:
Successfully complete the 'Game Situation'
challenges in mini-camp mode. The Cheerleader or Pump Up Crowd
Cards for the team used will be unlocked.
Hints: Get a few more yards:
When you are about to go out of bounds and want to
get more yards, juke to the side away from the sideline. You will
not go out, and it also sometimes delays the defense from pursuit.
Hints: Easy sacks:
Select 'Whip Man' from the 4-3 defense. When
your team lines up, move your linebackers to the right and linemen
to the left. Hide your left linebacker [after shifting] behind
your second linemen from the left, who should be lined up over
the offense's tackle. Move the middle linebacker over the offense's
right guard. At the snap of the ball, have the left linebacker
blitz to between the offense's left guard and center, getting
him right to the quarterback. If done correctly, even a running
back blocking should not be able to stop you.
Hints: Christmas commentary:
Set the system date to December 25 to hear John Madden
say 'Merry Christmas to all'.
Hints: Unlimited creation points:
Go to 'Rosters', then choose 'Edit Player'.
Select the players that you want to be rated 99. Go to his attributes,
then increase everything.
Hints: Super team:
Play through the entire season and save at the Pro
Bowl. Simulate the Pro Bowl and go to off-season schedule/player
progression. Look for young players from other teams in positions
that you need that have progressed well. About +7 overall should
be sufficient. Next, look at your players to see those that have
progressed negatively. Quit the game and reload your previous
save game. Trade away all of your players that have progressed
negatively for young players that progressed well.
