Madden NFL 09 – Playstation 3

Madden NFL 09 - Platform: Playstation 3

Different free agents:
----------------------
In Franchise mode off-season, after you re-sign your players save the 
game. Enter Free Agent mode. If you do not like the free agents available 
(for example, if you need a top wide receiver and there are none), reload 
the game until you like the players that are available. You can also do 
this to make your division easier. For example, if you are the Jets and 
Randy Moss goes from the Patriots to the Rams then you do not have to 
worry about facing a player like that twice a season.


Easy touchdowns:
----------------
To score easily, get a spread set with two receivers on one side. Then, do 
a hot route on the inside receiver and press the Right Analog-stick in the 
opposite direction of the quarterback, making an outer slant. This should 
help you score or get a lot of yards. 


Hints:
------
1. When a defense looks prepared for your current play, use a quick 
audible to regain the upper hand. 
2. While playing through the Madden Test, be patient. Hurrying through the 
drills will cause your Madden IQ to suffer. 
3. Use Formation Subs in certain situations to bring a new player into the 
game. That backup player just might have the skills needed for the current play.
4. Playing Superstar as a Tight End gives you the best of both worlds, 
allowing you to play as a Lineman and a Wide Receiver. 
5. It’s a good idea to use your EA Rewinds like timeouts, saving them for 
crucial situations. 
6. Enter into endzone hotspots to trigger special player celebrations. 
7. Calling a short yard FB run play with a backup RB is a good way to 
increase the odds that yards will be gained. 
8. Read the Madden Moment description carefully, sometimes a FG is good 
enough to complete the Moment. 
9. Remember to utilize the Field Goal Block Return play whenever a long FG 
is attempted. 
10. Importing your Fantasy Football Team from your Fantasy League gives 
you the chance to test your team’s mettle on the field. 
11. Use the stiff arm special move to break more tackles with the ball 
carrier. 
12. Using an All Madden or Fantasy Drafted created team will give you the 
advantage when playing in Franchise or against a friend. 
13. When punting is not an option, use the QB Sneak play to push for those 
last couple of yards in short yardage situations. 
14. When a play doesn’t go the way you planned, don’t hesitate. Use EA 
Rewind to try it over again. 
15. Utilize the Player HUB to see what part of the game your friends are 
currently playing in. 
16. Use the Player HUB to send game invites as well as Online league 
invites. 
17. Talk is cheap. Create custom Online Leagues with your friends to see 
who is truly the best at Madden. 
18. Use EA Sports World to help track your accomplishments in all game 
modes. 
19. When playing multi-player games, make sure to use the Bluff Play 
selection to hide from your opponent which play you are about to run. 
20. Create new offensive and defensive plays in NFL Head Coach 09 and 
import them into Madden. Your opponent won’t know what to expect! 
21. Take advantage of the new tackle breaking system. Press a button or 
move the highlight stick while getting tackled to attempt to break out of it.
22. New to Madden? No problem. Use the Beginner Game Style for a 
simplified Madden experience. 
23. Madden knows how good you are. When you finish a game, advance to the 
Virtual Trainer to improve your weaknesses. 
24. Longing for the days of Maddens past? Play Madden 93 with the 20th 
Anniversary Collector’s Edition. 
25. Pause no more! Access Instant Replay, Challenge Plays, and view stats 
without ever leaving the playcall screen.

Re-signing players for less:
----------------------------
Use the following trick to re-sign players for less in Franchise mode 
off-season. When you go to re-sign players, go to your "Player Management" 
screen first. Change the player that you want to re-sign to another 
position, such as a kicker or punter (the worst overall possible). Go back 
to re-sign that player for a lot less. Note: You cannot save the change 
unless you have enough players at that position after you change the 
player's position. For example, to change a cornerback to a kicker you 
must have four other cornerbacks remaining.

Training:
---------

You can make depth chart changes to help you when training players. For 
example, if you are training someone on defense, such as a linebacker, go 
to the depth chart and substitute the running back for someone with a 
lower rating. This will make things easier when you do the lineman 
challenge. You can use this trick to help train almost any position.
