Extra push in tackles: When you are a defender about to give a
head-on-collision to the runner, press the C-stick Down to give extra push
in your tackles, increasing the chance of a fumble.
Easy tackles: You can get numerous easy tackles with your MLB by using
him during your kickoffs. Go to coaching strategies and find "Kickoff".
Assign the third player from the left to be your MLB. Assign the first two
players on the left as very slow CBs or FSs. When you kick off, kick the
ball to the left side where your MLB is assigned. If you do not kick it
too deeply, your MLB will be the first one downfield and will go unblocked
into the return man. Note: If you have the roster space and some money,
create a CB and FS and make all of their attributes zeros. You should have
no trouble signing them to a contract. You can then use them on your
kickoff squad and they will almost never make it downfield. With this
trick, in addition to the tackles your MLB gets during the game, he will
get one for every kickoff as well.
Easy pass: Go to the "I Formation" and select "Slants" as a route. The
key receiver is "B". Wait one or two seconds then throw to the key
receiver, who will catch the ball every time.
Choose any pass play and select "Hot Route". Select your best receiver and
press Left Analog-stick Up. Run towards his side (behind the line of
scrimmage) and tap Left Analog-stick Up while you tap the receiver's
button. This works about 90% of the time.
Signing players to low salaries: This trick will allow you to sign any
player, no matter how big their default salary is, to a three year
low-salary contract. You must do this before starting a franchise. First,
edit the player's attributes from whatever they are currently down so that
their overall rating is exactly 75. Depending on the position, you should
be able to achieve this by simply lowering one or sometimes two of their
attributes. Make sure to make a note what the original rating was so you
can store the value later. Once all players you are editing are at an
overall rating of 75, release the players to free agency. After releasing
each player (you may have to sign some "no-name" players to your roster to
maintain roster requirements, but you can release those temporary players
later), back out of the roster management screen to the main menu. Choose
the option to "Continue without saving" (this may not be necessary).
Reenter the roster management screen and select "Free Agents." Go to
whichever team you want to sign the players to and start looking for your
players. You should notice that their new requested salaries and contract
lengths will be for three years at a very low salary (depending on the
position). Once you have signed all of your players back (and released the
temporary players), go back to editing the players and return them to the
original ratings. Note: According to the manual, your players will become
upset if they feel they are being underpaid for how good they are
performing -- you will more than likely have to re-sign some contracts
throughout the year, but with the cap room you will save.
Note: This trick only works on contracts that have completely expired.
During the off-season, instead of resigning your players, edit them.
Change their position to something that will lower their overall ratings.
For example, move a DT to a TE; or make your QB a WR. Then, resign the
player. He will play poorly at his new position, making him extremely
cheap. Not all player positions can be changed, but a lot of them can --
especially the higher dollar positions. After you resign the player, move
him back to his original position. His overall rating will return without
any negative affects. For example, it is possible to resign LeRoy Glover
to a six year deal worth $1.5 million with no signing bonus at the age of
32, with an overall rating of 97 by moving him to TE.
Whenever you have to re-sign a player in franchise mode, go to player
management and edit the player's position to something that would lower
his stats. Re-sign him, then change him back to his original position. For
example, make your QB a WR, and sign him. This also works for free agents,
but not for draft picks. You cannot edit draftees until they are signed.
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.
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.
Use any roster. Take the thirrd string or very last player in your depth
chart and edit the player. You can do anything you want with him and his
salary will be the same, no matter how bad or good he is.
If you find a great player as a free agent, you can sign him if you have a
salary cap over $1 million. Just give the player seven years and your
salary cap will get lower, but will not go under 0.
First, do a Fantasy Draft with any team other than the Falcons. Once you
finish the training camp, preseas on, and five weeks in the regular
season, look at the standings in the NFC East. You should see that the
Falcons are 1-4 or 0-5. Trade your first round pick for their first round
pick. Thisusually works. If not, trade with the next worst team.
In franchise mode, create an offensive lineman that is 45 years old. Set
his years in the league to 27. Put his stats all the way up, then sign him
on free agency. Next, trade with any team and get any player or pick you
desire. This works best with getting first round picks, but can also get a
lot of good players. Because he is an offensive lineman, he will not have
a huge impact on a team winning and will retire at the end of the season.
In franchise mode, go to "My Team", then "Team Info". Scroll over to "Team
Morale". Look under the other team's morale for unhappy players. Those
player will be easy to trade for.
Note: If you are starting a franchise with a created team, do not sign too
many star players because you will be over the cap limit, and your players
will complain about playing time. To have a good team, sign a QB,
halfback, and wide receiver all with ratings of 85 to 99. For defense,
sign a good middle linebacker, a good safety (strong or free), and a good
cornerback, also all 85 or above. This will leave your team with a good
offense and defense, and it will keep them under the cap limit.
Start a franchise with the team that you want to be perfect. Then, go to
"My Team" then to "Export Team". Export the team, then exit out of
franchise mode. Go to "Features", then to "Historic Teams". Press R to go
to "Saved Teams". Then, choose the players and edit their attributes so
that they are at 99. Next, exit and go to "Play Now". Press X. Then, press
R to go to "Exported Teams" and choose your team.
If you want to create a quarterback with a 99 rating, but do not want to
use all of your salary cap space, use the following trick. When you go to
create your player, do not make his position QB. Instead, make him a
kicker. Set his physical looks as usual. When adjusting his attributes,
increase everything up to 99 except for his kick accuracy and kick power.
Leave those two attributes at 50. His overall rating will still be 12.
Once done, go into free agency and sign him. He will only want the league
minimum. Then, go into your depth chart and start him as your QB. Since
almost all his stats are 99, he will play better than any QB in the game,
and you will not make a dent in your salary cap.
Before starting franchise mode, go to rosters and make all the second and
third string players at a 12 rating. Make all the first string players at
or above 90. Turn injuries off. If you turn the injuries off you should
never have to use your second or third string. Making their rating at 12
will let you sign players for very little money. You will probably lose
all of the preseason games, but will dominate and win all season games.
Fantasy draft: The following players are selected in the rounds after
their name. Therefore, you can draft them in the previous round if you
have a good draft pick. For example, pick #6 to 10.
Roy Williams(FS): 7
Tony Gonzalez: 12
Deangelo Hall: 13
Ed Reed: 8
Larry Fitzgerald: 10
D. Akers: 21
Shane Lechler: 23
Rashaun Woods: 31
Jim Kleinsasser: 20
Clinton Portis: 2
Brian Urlacher: 2
Steven Jackson: 27
Roy Williams(WR): 8
Lee Evans: 15
Dante Hall: 15
Reggie Williams: 16
Justin Smith: 5
Julius Peppers: 3
For example, if Brian Urlacher is drated in the second round, you must
draft him in the first. If Dante Hall is drafted in the fifteenth round,
you must draft him in the fourteenth round. Note: These players are always
drafted in the round given;
choose wisely.
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
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.
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.
Easy deep routes: You can make an adjustment to your route in
create-a-playbook that can make throwing the deep route much easier and
the game more fun. In create-a-playbook, if you have a normal streak,
adjust the route so that it is going to the side of the receiver (if on
the right side, adjust the route to the right; if on left, adjust the
route to the left). It is like a fade, and make sure it is at the maximum
vertical yardyage. In a game, it usually works best with a play action,
but it also is effective in shotgun against a normal man on man with a
safety over the top situation. You should wait about two to three seconds,
then lob it. It works well when you have a top speed receiver such as
Bethel Johnson or Dante Hall, or against a cornerback about 93-94 speed.
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.
Money play: The hook routes are the most successful plays to complete in
in the game.
Increased attendance in franchise mode: 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.
Announcement misspelling: To have Al Michaels say Vinny Testeverde's name
(Dallas Cowboys), you must change Vinny's last name "Testaverde" (default)
to "Testeverde". |
