Automatic play selection
An easy way to select plays on defense is to press X, then X again. The CPU
will automatically choose the best play.
100 rated players:
To create a 100 rated RB, set the upper and lower body strength low enough
to put all the other stats at 100. Then, fill up the rest on your upper or lower
body strength. The same can be done for a QB, TE, WR, DB, LB, DT, DE. However,
for the LB, DT, DE, make sure they are big. For a DT or DE set the weight to 400
lbs. and height about 6' 0". For the LB, set the weight at about 260 lbs. and
make him 6' 4".
Better defense
Create two players with a height of 7'0", weight 220 lbs., and stats at 30
for upper and lower body. Set everything else to 100 except jumping and block.
Thrown ball should be 95 and intelligence 50.
Better offense
Create three WR with a height of 7'0", weight 220 lbs., and stats at 0 for
upper and lower body. Set everything else to 100.
Create a running back with a rating of 100, which can be done by lowering the
intelligence to 0, the lower body strength to 58, and the upper body strength to
59. Set everything else to 100. Place him on a team and make him the starter.
Hand the ball off to him and use the juke moves for a good gain.
More stamina
Score a touchdown three times with the same player. Your team will have
their stamina will rise dramatically.
More time outs
Go to the controller options and change to the other team. Use their time
out, then switch back to your original team.
Easy sack
When on defense go to 3-4 and select "Base". When on the field, select your
outside linebacker and move him close to the line without crossing the line of
scrimmage. Once the QB snaps the ball, use speed burst to run around and sack
him. This will work almost every time unless there is a TE were your LB is
located.
When on defense, press Start to pause game play. Go to the options screen,
choose "Penalties" and set everything to "0" except for fair catch interference.
Resume the game and go directly in front of the quarterback. When he snaps the
ball press Down + Tackle to sack him 99.9% of the time, unless he runs out of
the pocket.
When on defense, press Start to pause game play. Go to the options screen,
choose "Penalties" and turn off offsides and encroachment. Select anyone and go
across the line next to the QB. When he snaps the ball, run up to him and tackle
him.
Take a line backer (preferably a outside one) and move him next to your
defensive line. After the quarterback huts the ball, run around the offensive
line and run in for a easy sack.
Pause game play, go to "Settings", "Game Play", and disable of encroachment and
offsides. Line up behind the QB and it will be easy to get a sack.
Easy on-side kick
After scoring a touchdown, you have the option to do an on-side kick or
kick-off. If you choose on-side kick, the opposite team lines up to your left.
If you place the directional arrow towards the right and up, it will reach the
end zone and they will automatically be on the 20 yard line. Sometimes if you
kick it off to tea right, all the way up and very low power, your own team will
catch it and you will have the ball again. Note: This does not happen very
often.
CPU controlled kicks
During a kickoff, field goal, or a punt, press Circle and the CPU will kick
the ball. This only works if you press Circle before the kick icon appears.
Pin your opposition deep
Go to the substitution for the onside kick defense. Put in the fastest DBs
and WRs. When it is time to kick off, pick the onside kick. Allow the power
meter go just beyond three quarters full. The ball will bounce on about the 5 or
10 yard line and your players will be there to tackle and/or recover the onside
kick deep in the opposition's part of the field. Sometimes you will even get a
safety.
Taunt while scoring
When you are on a break away and no one is around you, when you make it
within the 10 yard line release the Analog-stick. Your player will still run it
in, but he will add a little attitude to his walk. When you release the
Analog-stick determines what way he will come in. Be careful -- if someone is
nearby they can tackle you and you will have a higher chance of fumbling.
Before scoring a touchdown, make sure there are no defenders close to you. When
you get between the 10 yard line and the end zone, release the Analog-stick.
Your player will celebrate into the end zone. Also make sure you are not too
close to the sidelines are your player may step out of bounds. If there are
defenders nearby your player can fumble the ball if he gets hit, especially if
he has low ball handling skills. Enter practice mode, Offense Only, and try it.
Higher dive
If someone is laying down or is on their hands and knees in front of you,
press Dive. This works best near the goal line for getting a touchdown.
Checking injuries
To check the injuries before the girl tells you, pause game play when
"Injury" appears in yellow under the score. Then, go to "Stats", then "Injury"
to learn that information. Note: All of this happens in the pause menu.
Funny commentary
Put a defensive back (for example, a cornerback) at wide receiver. If he
fumbles the ball or drops a pass, then the announcer will say "Wow! He's better
at deflecting the ball then catching it!"

Super deformed players
Create a custom player and make him as heavy and short as possible and have
skin number 6. You will be able to have created players up to 15 feet tall or as
short as 3 feet tall. They can also be as heavy as 700,100 lb. and as light as
10lb. They can also have rainbow skin.
Trading for higher rated players
To get between an 85 and 90 rated player in franchise mode, keep trading a
player from that position up about a point or two. For example, if you want to
get a 85 rated running back and you have a 74 rated running back, trade on up
from a 74 for 75, a 75 for a 76, a 76 for a 77, a 77 for a 78, and so on. This
should work up into the 85 to 90 range
