Hint: Easy punt blocking
------------------------
Choose the play Punt Return Right, Middle, or Left. Before 
everyone lines up on defense, take your LE and bring him to 
the right of the MLB. After you bring the LE over, press the 
C-stick Right so your line moves over. As soon as the offense 
hikes the ball, use your turbo and head straight for the 
Punter. Once you get close enough, jump (Y) and you will 
either block the punt or hit him hard. If you happen to miss 
the ball, you will usually end up taking a penalty. Refer to 
the following diagram (O is defense and X is punting).

Hint: Easy 2-point conversion
-----------------------------
After you score a touchdown, select the "Ask Madden" button. 
He will almost always suggest kicking a field goal. Instead, 
go up one set of plays, and pick the play "RB Direct Snap". 
No matter what defense you are playing against, you will 
always get the 2-point conversion. Note: If you cannot get 
in immediately, press B to dive near the goal line.

Hint: Easy scoring
------------------
Turn penalties off. On the coin toss, choose kick. Then, select 
"Onside Kick" for a play . Pull Back + Right (if your kicker is 
left footed, pull Back + Left) and kick with full power then 
recover the onside kick. Choose your quarterback then scroll 
down and select "Hail Mary" as a play.
