Hint: 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.
|
Hint: Tear up defenses
On the All-Madden difficulty setting, use the Redskins playbook. Select the Was - J.Gibbs playbook. In the game, run on first down then select the Shotgun Trips formation on second down. If the Nickelback is not lined up with the second receiver, he is coming to get you or he is playing flat zone. If so, put the first receiver on a fly/streak route, and make the third receiver post to the sideline. This will work all the time if you have an accurate passer.

Hint: Easy gains on run plays
Enable the "Human Plow" Madden Card which increases your break tackles. Make sure your running back has a good break tackle rating (for example,Jamal Lewis or Stephen Davis). Also make sure it is a Gold card to make it effective throughout the entire game.

Hint: Easy sacks
First, create a very good free safety and put him on your team. When you are configuring your game, enable "Easy Play" and set your defense to 3-4. Once the game has started, turn off offsides. Select 3-4. go down once, and press A. This play works best with this strategy. Then, select your FS and press Analog-stick Up + C-stick Down. This creates an impenetrable wall of defenders by making your line widen (covering those pesky TEs) and your linebackers in more for when the other team tries a dive. Once you have selected this, simply run up to the right of the line (the left side of the screen) about three feet to the outside of your DE. Simply keep running; as you will not move though your legs do. When the QB hikes the ball, keep running for him and sprint at him. If they try a run or pass, and as long as you are not blocked a sack is guaranteed. This also works with punts, although you must jump for the punter.

Hint: Easy sacks
When it is time to choose a play on defense, look at the top of the play calling screen. Above there is a bar that indicates how many running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends your opponent has on the field. Note: This only works if you are the only one playing. If the opponent has four or more wide receivers, one or less tight end, and two or less running backs on the play (the play works better if the amount of wide receivers is higher and tight ends and running backs are lower), choose "Goaline" and go to "Blitz C". Shift your line and outside linebackers to the right, then choose the last person on your line. After the snap, press Down + Y. Your team will blitz the QB. You will get the sack or force an interception on the play. This works about 85% of the time.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Easy blocked punts
It is possible to block a punt as long as it is against an opponent. Select "Punt Block" if you are sure your opponent is going to punt the ball. Then, take the cornerback on the weak side and get as close to the line of scrimmage as you can without going over. Watch your opponent's meter, and as soon as you think he will stop it, sprint across the line and just run directly into the punter. Do not try a big hit unless you want a fumble because you might miss him.
Chase A. DeLaney.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Easy yards
Select a team, then go to the options and choose NYG-Tom Coughlin's playbook. Make sure your running back has at least 92 speed. Go the "I twins" and choose the "Off Tackle" play. It works all the time. Make sure there is no CB on the empty side and do not run it on third and long. If the hole is stuffed, always run directly at the tightend then spin and run toward and up the sideline. If done correctly, the only person that can get you is the safety. Also you should at least get a first down (depending on the level of play), if not a 20 or more yard gain. You also can run it to the side of twins; just make sure that the LBs and the line is shifted all the way to the right. If not, keep audibling the original play. It does not do anything for you, but gets the defense to start shifting around. Keep doing it until all of the LBs and the line shift all the way to the right.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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.

Hint: Easy wins
Create a half-back with all the important stats full, and all the stats that he does not need lower. For example, raise his running ability and lower tackling. Sign him and make him your starting half-back. While in the game pause and go to "Settings", then "Gameplay". Go down to "A.I." and make your team have full stat bars. Make the CPU have empty stat bars. Then, go to "Penalties". Turn off "Offsides" and "False Starts". Resume the game. When you are on defense, be a lineman and run towards the quarterback. When the ball is snapped, press X and run at the quarterback. Sometimes you will get a sack. If they throw the ball, they will usually drop it. Keep running the ball with your new half-back.

Hint: Selecting a team in franchise mode:
Always choose a team that has between three and five good players on both sides of the ball (for example, the Philadelphia Eagles). That team has a very good passing game with T.O., and you can usually score on the first play of every drive you have. The Eagles also have a powerhouse defense with Kearse, Dawkins, Simon. Another good team to use, especially if you like to pass is the Indianapolis Colts, with Peyton Manning. The Colts have the weapons on offense to be a great team, but their defense has held them back from making the Superbowl. Also, if there is certain player that is not on the team you selected, use the following tricks. Do a fantasy draft and draft the desired player (for example, Ray Lewis). Another way that is not as time-consuming is to create a superstar rookie with all stats maxed at 99, with your choice for the name, appearance, and position. Sign your superstar rookie to your team for seven years and whatever amount of money you choose to give him. Note: you may take a hit in the salary cap if you use this method.

Hint: Receiver distraction
Use this trick when you are struggling on defense or you just want a turnover. Just before an opposing receiver catches a pass, press Y to "distract" the receiver. About 99% of the time he will drop or fumble the pass. This also works with a QB. Make sure you blitz, then as he is about to throw, press Y. He might throw it backwards. Then, the screen will read "Fumble". Use this near your endzone for easy safeties. Note: If you make a mistake, you will give the other team an easy touchdown and their morale will rise, causing them to play better. Note: This also works in two player mode.
