Hints:
Unlimited creation points: Go to "Rosters", then choose
"Edit Player". Select the players that you want to be
rated 99. Go to his attributes, then increase
everything.
Easy tokens: Play two-minute drill and choose to play
four players, all with your profile. Set "Fire" the
defense and the Vikings as
your teams. Next, use Singleback 4WR All Streaks for
touchdowns all day.
At the main menu, go into "Features", select "Rosters",
then go to the team you would like to defend you. For
example, select the Bengals, then go to their defense
(CB, FS, SS and Linebackers and Defensive Linemen).
Change all of there speed attributes down to 0. Make a
note of the original values so they can be restored
later. Then, go to the Two Minute Drill, select the
Bengals as the defense, and change the difficulty to
All-Madden.. Select your team with your profile (Vikings
recommended) and you will rack up points against a team
that cannot catch you at all. Put Randy Moss at running
back for even more points when you score or just throw
to him always.
Play two-minute drill, and choose any team you hate for
the CPU's defense. Go to that team's roster and set all
their defensive players' speed to 0. Instead of throwing
the ball, use a run play. It takes about the same amount
of time, but you will get more points for tokens when
you use a running play. The "Near" formation and "HB
Toss" are recommended. As always, use a fake field goal
pass or fake run for the point after the touchdown. It
is possible to score over 68,000 points with well over
340 tokens per 2 minutes.

team used will be unlocked.

Over the shoulder catch: When throwing the ball to a
receiver that is running a fly route, lob the pass (tap
the button) instead of throwing a bullet (holding the
button). The receiver should catch the ball over his
shoulder.
Better quarterback accuracy: Note what kind of
quarterback you are passing with. If you have someone
such as Kurt Warner, you may have better accuracy if you
set your feet, then throw the ball. If you have someone
like Donovan McNabb, you might have better luck throwing
on the run.
Better draft pick: If you have a first place team and
you know its going to be very late in the draft, trade
with a last place team. Sometimes you can even get a
first and second round pick for just your first. This is
a very good way to get young players on your already
good team.
Get any player or draft pick you want during franchise
mode. After the regular season, such as during the
playoffs or immediately before the Superbowl, go to
create a player and make a quarterback. Make him 45
years old so that he will immediately retire when the
season is over. Next, make him a 99 overall. Sign him
from the free agency and trade him for any player or
draft pick that you desire. You can do this as many
times as you need, and can get ten first round picks and
every player desired.
Better trades: If you play with the salary cap
penalties turned on in franchise mode, it is better to
trade the player(s) you wish to cut for another team's
draft pick. You will avoid penalties, keep your roster
from becoming full, and get another draft pick.
Start a franchise and create a new coach (or make one
under the Coach Option/Job Openings screen). In Coach
Options/Job Openings screen, highlight your coach, then
press Left or Right to select the team with the player
or draft pick you want. You are now the coach of that
team. Trade the player you want to your team. Then,
return to the Job Openings screen in Coach Options and
select your original team. Back out and you will be
coaching your team again.
Get any player: Use the following trick to get any
player in a trade without the other team rejecting. In
the franchise mode, create a player as a quarterback and
move his attributes until you get to 99 points. Then,
put his injury and stamina down to 0. This will not
change the attribute point level. Sign him as a free
agent then trade him to any team for anybody you want.
When you play the team he is playing for, after a couple
of plays he will either become injured or will be taken
out of the game for his weak stamina. No team will
refuse your trade and you will have any player you want
on your team.
When playing in franchise mode you can trade for any
player you want without having that trade turned down.
Go into the create a player menu and create a QB that is
all 99s. Sign that player to your team then trade him to
another team that has a player that you want. To make
the trick even better, you can add another player from
their team to the trade that is in the 80s -- this will
be a 2-for-1 trade. When the trade is complete, exit out
to the franchise main menu and enter back into the
create a player menu. Go back into the QB's attributes
and edit them all the way down to 0s and then go back
into the trade screen. Take the second player in the
deal and trade him back to the team for the created QB.
You can then start the whole process over by going into
the create a player menu and editing his attributes all
the way up again.
Cheap players that are good: To make a receiver go to
create player and create the player as a quarterback.
Give the player very low passing abilities (zero) and
very high catching and ball handling levels. The player
will cost very little because his quarterback skills are
bad. You will have to sign him as a quarterback but use
him as a wide receiver. His salary will never go up
because he will not play as a quarterback. You can also
change his number and attributes in the edit player
screen. You can also make a dirt cheap fullback by
eliminating his receiving skills.
Cheaper player: When you have an expensive player, you
can release him and sign him for less money.
Lower team's overall salary: One way to lower a team's
overall salary is to cut certain players' salaries. You
can do this with players that have low attributes but
high salaries. To do this, go to "Rosters" and select
"Edit player". Select a player on the team that has a
low overall rating (anything under the low 80s) and has
a high salary. When you choose to edit the players
"Attributes", you will notice that his salary decreases.
Do not change anything in his attributes and exit out.
You have now made your first budget cut of the season.
Easier gold in mini-camp mode: Create a player and
trade him to the team that you are doing the drill with.
Make sure that the created player is playing the
position of the person that you are trying to complete
the drill with. For example, Ronde Barber is the corner
back in the Defensive Swat Pass drill. If you create a
corner back and make his attributes all 99, put him on
the Buccaneers and make him the starting or number one
cornerback. Then, he will do the drill. You may do this
with any person on any drill. You may also make the
people who you are going against in the drill "sorrier".
If you know their names, go to their attributes and turn
them all the way down.
Thanksgiving commentary: Set the system date to the
third Thursday in November.
Christmas commentary: Set the system date to December
25 to hear John Madden say "Merry Christmas to all".
New Year's commentary: Set the system date to January
1.
John Madden's name spoken: Create a new team and name
the new coach "John Madden". Melissa will be able to say
his name during the game.
