Madden NFL 2003 Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: conner54 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. Easy tokens: ------------ Play two-minute drill and choose to play four players, all with your profile. Set "Fire" the defense and the Vikings as your teams. Next, use Singleback 4WR All Streaks for touchdowns all day. 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. 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. 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. Cheap players that are good: ---------------------------- To make a receiver go to create player and create the player as a quarterback. Give 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. Easy kick recoveries: --------------------- Choose a regular kickoff play. If your kicker is left-handed, choose a Kickoff Left; if he is right-handed choose a Kickoff Right (recommended). Before you pick the play, make sure that the three players to the right and the three players to the left of the kicker are fast (90-99). When you are kicking, aim your kick as far up as possible and straight. Then, kick as light of a kick as possible (within the yellow). Make the players on the side of the kicker that the ball is landing run as fast as they can. If you kicked it lightly enough, your own players should recover it. Note: Once you catch it you cannot continue running; you will get the ball where it was caught. 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. Easy tokens: ------------ At the main menu, go into "Features", select "Rosters", then go to the team you would like to defend you. For example, select the Bengals, then go to their defense (CB, FS, SS and Linebackers and Defensive Linemen). Change all of there speed attributes down to 0. Make a note of the original values so they can be restored later. Then, go to the Two Minute Drill, select the Bengals as the defense, and change the difficulty to All-Madden.. Select your team with your profile (Vikings recommended) and you will rack up points against a team that cannot catch you at all. Put Randy Moss at running back for even more points when you score or just throw to him always. Easy tokens II: --------------- Play two-minute drill, and choose any team you hate for the CPU's defense. Go to that team's roster and set all their defensive players' speed to 0. Instead of throwing the ball, use a run play. It takes about the same amount of time, but you will get more points for tokens when you use a running play. The "Near" formation and "HB Toss" are recommended. As always, use a fake field goal pass or fake run for the point after the touchdown. It is possible to score over 68,000 points with well over 340 tokens per 2 minutes. 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. 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. 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. Alpha Blitz stadium: -------------------- To unlock the Alpha Blitz (Sugar Buzz) stadium, get 100 Madden Tokens then go into "Madden Cards", then "Card Book". Go near the back of the book until you find a card pack with the Sugar Buzz logo on it. Buy it. Inside, you will find a card that allows you to play on the Alpha Blitz field. The stadium's capacity is 0, and the field surface is milk. On the sidelines, you will see big cereal boxes and yo-yo's. Note: Even though the stadium capacity is 0, you can still hear fans cheering. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Hint - Any player: ------------------ 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.
