Hints & Tips

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.

Super deformed players
Create a custom player and make him as heavy and short as you can 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.

More time outs
Go to the controller options and switch to the other team. Use their time out, then switch back to your original team.

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 but jumping and block. Thrown ball should be 95 and intelligence 50.

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 good chance of fumbling.

Before scoring a touchdown, make sure there are no defenders close. When you get between the 10 yard line and the endzone, release the Analog-stick. Your player will celebrate into the endzone. Also make sure you are not too close to the sidelines as 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 have a go at it.

Easier 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 just about every time unless there is a TE were your LB is at.

When on defense, press Start to pause the game. Go to the options screen, choose "Penalties" and set everything to "0" except for fair catch interference. Now resume playing 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 te game. Go to the options screen, choose "Penalties" and turn off offsides and encroachment. Then select anyone and go across the line next to the QB. When he snaps the ball, run up to him and tackle him.

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 endzone 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 to often.
