Skip music:
Go to the help menu, then hold Square and hit
R1 or L1 to change the music.
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: 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: Better quarterback accuracy:
Note what kind of quarterback you are passing with.
If you have someone such as Kurt Warner, you may have better accuracy
if you set your feet, then throw the ball. If you have someone
like Donovan McNabb, you might have better luck throwing on the
run.
Hints: Mike Singletary:
Get a gold rank in the LB Chase and Tackle drill in
mini-camp mode under the All-Madden level.
Hints: Kevin Butler:
Get a gold rank in P-Coffin Corner Punt under the All-Madden
level.
Hints: Jan Stenerud:
Get a gold rank in Clutch Kicking Drill in mini-camp
mode under the All-Madden level.
Hints: Dodge City Stadium:
Have a saved game file from another EA Sports football
game on your memory card.
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: Cheaper created players:
When the free-agent signing period appears in the off-season,
go to the 'Create-A-Player' menu and make a player with
very low attributes. He will want a low salary. Then, offer him
a contract. Before he accepts it, go to the 'Create-A-Player'
menu again and set his attributes to anything desired. He should
accept the contract you offered him, and the other teams almost
never bid on him.
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: Cheap players that are good:
To make a receiver go to create player and create the
player as a quarterback. Provide the player very low passing abilities
[zero] and very high catching and ball handling levels. The player
will cost very little because his quarterback skills are bad.
You will have to sign him as a quarterback but use him as a wide
receiver. His salary will never go up because he will not play
as a quarterback. You can also change his number and attributes
in the edit player screen. You can also make a dirt cheap fullback
by eliminating his receiving skills.
Hints: Easy passes:
Choose a play like this:
x x TGCGT TE x
QB x
Note: This is not in shotgun. Use Hot Route, hit the leftmost
WR up, then do Hot Route again to the man next to him, except
hit right. This means the outermost man is streaking and the man
next to him is cutting his path. Pump it to the streaking man
then zip it to the man that crosses. If he is fast enough, you
can stretch it into a long gain.
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: Easy rushing yards:
When down in a game late and need yards, substitute
your second string RB in and put your first string RB in at QB.
Off the hike, you can either run or throw it. If a space is open,
you will get more yards.
Hints: Better trades:
If you play with the salary cap penalties turned on
in franchise mode, it is better to trade the player[s] you wish
to cut for another team's draft pick. You will avoid penalties,
keep your roster from becoming full, and get another draft pick.
Start a franchise and create a new coach [or make one under the
Coach Option/Job Openings screen]. In Coach Options/Job Openings
screen, highlight your coach, then hit Left or Right
to select the team with the player or draft pick you want. You
are now the coach of that team. Trade the player you want to your
team. Then, return to the Job Openings screen in Coach Options
and select your original team. Back out and you will be coaching
your team again.
Start a franchise and select all 32 teams. Turn off the salary
cap. Start the season, go to the roster, then trade a player.
You will be able to trade with yourself without the rejection
or the team. For example, you can trade Clinton Portis for Marshal
Faulk, or Ed Macalfry for Terrell Owens.
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: 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.
Hints: Marshals secret team:
Have a saved game file from another EA Sports football
game on your memory card.
Hints: Break tackles:
To easily break tackles as a running back, alternately
hit L1 and R1 immediately before you get tackled.
Hints: Fantasy team franchise:
Start a new Madden game [no loaded rosters, teams,
franchises, etc.]. At the menu screen, go to 'Features',
'Rosters', then 'Trade Player'. Find your
desired team and trade the players you do not want for those that
you do. All trades will be accepted, unlike in franchise mode.
Save your roster under something easy to remember, load it, start
a franchise, and start playing.
At the main menu, go to 'Features', then 'Rosters'.
Select 'Release Player'. Release any player that you
want from any team. Then, go to franchise and select a team. Go
to 'Rosters', then 'Free Agents'. And all
the players you released will be there, and you will be able to
sign them to your team.
Getting all your favorite players on your team in franchise mode
is a large task. Go through all the teams by selecting coaches
for them; then trades are un-rejectable. Once your team's salary
cap is too high, release and sign your players repeatedly until
all them are as low as possible. Some players must be signed to
shorter than seven years to get them to drop. Some players will
not accept a drop in salary at all, but if you release them again,
you will find that they want less. You can keep doing this until
they are low. However, there are a handful of players that you
cannot do any of this with. This will clear up some room to get
all the players you want. Also, you can do this to stack your
other favorite teams. You can also create eight new custom teams
in franchise mode. Do this, and you can kick your least favorite
eight teams out of the league by replacing them. Wait until the
end of the season to trade for the top draft picks; by then they
are all set. Just select a coach, a team, and trade for the top
seven picks then give the other top picks to your other created
or favorite teams. To keep the teams you want good, and the ones
that you dislike bad, select a coach and trade good players up
at the end of each season. This entire process takes many days,
but is great when completed.
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: 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: Steve Largent:
Have a saved game file from an EA Sports racing game
on your memory card.
Hints: Recommended offensive play:
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: Increase salary cap room:
While playing in franchise mode, you can easily increase
the room under your salary cap. First, look at some of your players
with very high salaries. Some of those players will be very skilled,
and some will not. It reflects the real salaries that they receive.
Cut that player from your roster. That player will go into the
free agent pool, where you can usually sign them for much less
than they were paid before. However, you must be careful. Sometimes
the player will demand more than they used to be paid.
