Mini-Camp Skill Levels: ----------------------- Complete a challenge in Mini-Camp to open that same skill challenge on the higher difficulty setting. Increased attendance: --------------------- Before playing a home game, enter the "Owner's" menu and set your "Advertising" as high as possible. After you play your game, return to the "Owner's" menu and set "Advertising" to zero, then simulate the rest of the games for that week. You will not be charged for the advertising, but your attendance will be higher. Do this before every home game to keep your attendance high without paying extra. Easy yards: ----------- Select a team, then go to the options and choose NYG-Tom Coughlin's playbook. Make sure your running back has at least 92 speed. Go the "I twins" and choose the "Off Tackle" play. It works all the time. Make sure there is no CB on the empty side and do not run it on third and long. If the hole is stuffed, always run directly at the tightend then spin and run toward and up the sideline. If done correctly, the only person that can get you is the safety. Also you should at least get a first down (depending on the level of play), if not a 20 or more yard gain. You also can run it to the side of twins; just make sure that the LBs and the line is shifted all the way to the right. If not, keep audibling the original play. It does not do anything for you, but gets the defense to start shifting around. Keep doing it until all of the LBs and the line shift all the way to the right. 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. Faster player improvement: -------------------------- Before playing under the All-Pro or All-Madden difficulty settings, play your franchise under the Rookie or Pro levels so you can increase stats for your players easily. This will give them more attribute upgrades throughout the season. The more yards your receivers or running backs get, the more points their ratings will increase. Easy gains on run plays: ------------------------ Enable the "Human Plow" Madden Card which increases your break tackles. Make sure your running back has a good break tackle rating (for example,Jamal Lewis or Stephen Davis). Also make sure it is a Gold card to make it effective throughout the entire game. Madden Cards and game cheats: ----------------------------- Get a gold rank in any event on the All Pro, Pro and Rookie levels in mini-camp mode. Announcement misspelling: ------------------------- To have Al Michaels say Vinny Testeverde's name (Dallas Cowboys), you must change Vinny's last name "Testaverde" (default) to "Testeverde". Tips: ----- Use your spin early when rushing to the left or right... this burns so many defenders. Use your hit-stick when on defense at all times. This will increase the rate of fumbles you cause, you'll injure more opponents, and you can kill their stamina as well. Lead your receivers when you are quarterback and throw into them... be careful not to make errant throws that can be easy picks for defenders. Shifty jukes when running the ball: ----------------------------------- To have a higher chance of breaking tackles when running, press the "Juke" buttons according to which side you want to run to. More effective running game: ---------------------------- First, make a tight end. His name, college, etc. is your choice. When you edit his appearance, make him 6'8", and 275 to 300 lbs. Then, make him have a muscular bulid in his body and arms. If you set his attributes ti above average or better (overall between 84 to 99), when you run a play that involves running towards the side the tight end is set, he will open holes and lanes that will enable you to gain 6 to 7 yards a carry. Tear up defenses: ----------------- On the All-Madden difficulty setting, use the Redskins playbook. Select the Was - J.Gibbs playbook. In the game, run on first down then select the Shotgun Trips formation on second down. If the Nickelback is not lined up with the second receiver, he is coming to get you or he is playing flat zone. If so, put the first receiver on a fly/streak route, and make the third receiver post to the sideline. This will work all the time if you have an accurate passer. Recommended players: -------------------- To get a good team in the future you must get good rookies. Note: If you start them, they will get great very quickly. Some such players are as follows. Larry Fitzgerald WR Eli Manning QB Sean Taylor FS Roy Williams WR Keniche Udeze DE Robert Gallery LT DeAngelo Hall CB Steven Jackson RB Bob Sanders FS Ben Roethlisbergr QB Easy fumbles: ------------- Use your [Hit-Stick] when on defense at all times. This will increase the rate of fumbles you cause. You will injure more opponents, and can also kill your opponent's stamina as well. Easy yards: ----------- Use the following trick to get easy yards on the passing game. Make sure you pick a team with a good receiving tight end and at least one fast receiver. Also, make sure you have the play "Posts" on the Singleback formation. This play is very effective against any defense, and especially on a third and long play. Once you snap the ball, wait until the tight end slants on the post route then throw him a bullet pass. Almost all of the time he will complete the pass and get enough yards for the first down. Also, if you see that the receiver on the right has a lot of separation from the coverage, you can tap the button he is assigned to give him a long lob pass, that if completed could be good for about a forty-fifty yard completion, and he may also have enough separation to go for a touchdown. Most of the time though, just throw it to the tight end. It takes a very long time for the defenses to adjust, and you will be racking up points easily. Getting good players: --------------------- In order to get a team that will last three to four years of dominance, must start with a team with lots of long contracts in place (for example, the Lions). They have four or six, six and seven year contracts on the good rookies. Trade for other players with long contracts. The first person you need to trade is the tight end that makes $12 million a year. Kellen Winslow from the Browns makes a good replacement. Make sure to not build too good of a roster, as your players have personalities and will get upset if they do not start, get the ball, etc. However, a decent roll playing team with outstanding players at these positions will take it every time. QB, HB, WR, or a second WR will not hurt. With DE/DT OLB/MLB CB SS/FS, 80-85 on every other player is more than sufficient. Also, if you trade these players from the rosters before your franchise, you can then edit them to make them better. However, be careful not to go too high on all of them, as they will all want more money and cause major backroom problems. Getting good players: --------------------- Use the following trick to get high draft picks every year. Each year after pre- season, simulate or play the games up until week 5. Check the standings to learn who has the worst record so far. Then, initiate a trade with the worst team. Offer the worst team your first round pick for their first and third round picks. They will usually accept. If they do not, find another team that is bad and offer the same deal to them. Once they accept, you can then usually offer both of your third round picks to another bad team for their first round pick. Then after the season is over, you will generally have two first round picks very high in the first round. You will be without a third round pick, but it is well worth it for the two first round picks. Getting good players: --------------------- Create a very good quarterback. Make his speed and catching stats low. Release one player and sign your created player. Trade your created player for whomever desired. Then, go back to the create a player. Select the person you just traded. Make him very fat and change his position to wide receiver. He will not catch a pass, and if he does he will not run very far. Try to make the created players signing bonus low so that it is not a waste of money. Easy blocked punts: ------------------- It is possible to block a punt as long as it is against an opponent. Select "Punt Block" if you are sure your opponent is going to punt the ball. Then, take the cornerback on the weak side and get as close to the line of scrimmage as you can without going over. Watch your opponent's meter, and as soon as you think he will stop it, sprint across the line and just run directly into the punter. Do not try a big hit unless you want a fumble because you might miss him. Easy onside kick recovery: -------------------------- Get the power rating between 65 and 80; and the accuracy between 40 and 80. You should recover the kick about 90% of the time. For an even greater chance, try to get the power between 70 and 75; and the accuracy between 70 and 75. Easy blocked punts: ------------------- Select "Punt Block". The CPU will audible to bring in blockers. Take the fastest man from left side and bring him to the right so that he is the last man on the line of scrimmage. Just as the last man is about to be set on the CPU's team, come from right off the line of scrimmage and avoid blockers by running straight down then hit the punter. Note: You may want to try this at 4th and 6 or longer so a 5 yard flag will not give them a first down.
