Skip music:
Go to the help menu, then hold Square and hit
R1 or L1 to change the music.
 Hints: Injuring defenders:
To injure a defender easily, first at the main menu
go to 'Features', then to 'Rosters'. Go to
the team that you will play. Go to every player and set their
injury and toughness attributes to 0. Changing the other attributes
is optional. Then, play against that team. Choose a running play
[use Field Goal Fake Run after touchdowns]. Once the running back
gets the ball, run away from the line of scrimmage. Keep track
of the yard lines to prevent a safety. Find an open defender on
the way back. Sprint toward him [optional] and once you are very
close to and directly in front of him, hit Triangle.
If done correctly, the defender will fall over and be injured.
Note: The speed and timing will effect the length of the injury.
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: 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: Jan Stenerud:
Get a gold rank in Clutch Kicking Drill in mini-camp
mode under the All-Madden level.
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.
Hints: Steve Largent:
Have a saved game file from an EA Sports racing game
on your memory card.
Hints: Thanksgiving commentary:
Set the system date to the third Thursday in November.
Hints: Fake audible:
If you see defenders lining up where you know your
play is about to go, or are setting up about to blitz, hit Square
then L2. Everyone will go back to their normal position
and you can run your play.
Hints: Over the shoulder catch:
When throwing the ball to a receiver that is running
a fly route, lob the pass [tap the button] instead of throwing
a bullet [holding the button]. The receiver should catch the ball
over his shoulder.
franchise mode:
Once the season has ended and you begin the off season,
the first thing you are supposed to do is check to see which players
have retired. If one of your created players is on that list,
you can bring them out by doing the following. In the off season
schedule, advance through retired players, rookie scouting, and
re-signed players, but do not go to free agent signing. Get out
of your off season schedule by hiting Triangle, then
go to 'Features', then 'Create-A-Player'.
All the players you created should be on the list. The retired
ones should be there as well. Highlight the player that retired
and choose to edit him. Select 'Delete Player' and it
will give you a list of your created players to delete. Do not
delete the retired player. As you scroll the list down, you should
see the player that just recently retired. It will say what team
he is on, etc. Your retired player will be listed as a free agent.
Once you see your retired player on your list of players to delete,
do not delete him. Instead, go back to the previous screen, then
to your off season schedule. Then, go to the free agent signing
and your retired player should be there for you to sign back on
to your team.
Hints: Cheaper player:
When you have an expensive player, you can release
him and sign him for less money.
Hints: New Year's commentary:
Set the system date to January 1.
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: Stop field goal blocks:
To stop a friend from blocking field goals, when you
hike the ball to the holder hold X until his defender comes
across the line off sides.
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.
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: 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: 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: Mike Singletary:
Get a gold rank in the LB Chase and Tackle drill in
mini-camp mode 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.
When you are in the off season, finish all the tasks until you
are to NFL Draft. When you are about to do the draft, save the
game. Then, do the draft. It does not matter who you pick. Go
to 'Trade Player' and highlight 'Age'. Press
Circle and view all your rookies. Go through all the teams
and write down all the rookies that have about a 75 rating or
above. Exit your franchise, then load the game again. Go to the
off season schedule, and select 'NFL Draft'. Draft as
many of those well rated rookies as possible.
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: Marshals secret team:
Have a saved game file from another EA Sports football
game on your memory card.
Hints: Dodge City Stadium:
Have a saved game file from another EA Sports football
game on your memory card.
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.
Pick a run play that has two tight ends. If the defensive line/backs
move left or right, hit Square + R2 so your play
is flipped. The defence will not move giving you an open field
or at least a 12 yard gain.
For a pass play. do a 4 Wide play. If the defense calls an audible,
hit Square + R2 so that your wide receivers switch
sides. This also creates an open field for a QB Draw or a 30 yard
pass to your deepest receiver.
To run a short slant route, hit L2 or R2 at the
line of scrimmage. Running backs and tight ends can run this route
also, but they cannot be on the line of scrimmage.
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: 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: 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: Barry Sanders:
Get a gold rank in Ground Attack 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: Announced names:
Create a new team and name the new coach 'John
Madden'. Melissa will be able to say his name during the
game.
To have the announcer's call your name, you must choose an NFL
player's name that is in the game. For example, use 'Dan'
form Dan Marino and 'Barber' from Tiki Barber to make
a player named 'Dan Barber'. Note: Sometimes the announcers
will only call the player's last name.
Hints: Kevin Butler:
Get a gold rank in P-Coffin Corner Punt under the All-Madden
level.
Hints: Stadium name spoken:
Create a Stadium that has the same name as a teams'
stadium. For example, enter 'Aloha Stadium' as your
stadium's name and it will be announced.
Hints: Onside kick:
To kick an onside kick, keep the arrow where it is.
Do not move it. Then, tap Xx2 as quickly as possible.
You should recover the onside kick the majority of the time.
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.
