Cheerleader Cards and game cheats
Obtain
a gold rank in any event on the All Pro, Pro and Rookie
levels.
Easier tokens
Just play two-minute drill and choose to play four players, all with
your profile. Now set "Fire" the defense and the Vikings as your teams.
Next, use Singleback 4WR All Streaks for touchdowns the entire day.
First play two-minute drill, and choose any team you hate for the CPU's
defense. Then go to that team's roster and set all their defensive
players' speed to 0. But instead of throwing the ball, use a run play.
It takes roughly 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 suggested. As always, use a fake field goal pass or fake
run for the point after the touchdown. It is just possible to score
above
68,000 points with well over 340 tokens per 2 minutes.
While 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). Switch all of there speed attributes to 0.
Make a note of the original values so they can be put back later.
Then, go to the Two Minute Drill, select the Bengals as the defense,
and change the difficulty to All-Madden. Then select your team with your
profile (Vikings suggested) and you will rack up points against a
team that cannot catch youl. Also put Randy Moss at running back
for even more points when you score or just throw to him all the
time.
Unlimited Madden Cards
First, obtain at least one of your favorite cheat cards either
by playing in mini camp mode and winning gold or just by playing the
game and making bhugeig wins. Either way is fine, but playing a largely
superior team against a weak team can make for some large
Madden challenge point/token values. Next, purchase your packs and sort
through them. You will have to take note of the ones you want to
keep. Then, create another profile (for example "Cards"). You will
also have to earn a few cards for this profile. You will use this
profile for trading your Madden Cards. Now, go into your Madden Card
Book which is in the main profile and select three of your favorite cards.
Next, go to your new profile and choose one throw away card to trade
for them. Then close the deal by pressing
and exit the Madden Cards main
screen and select "Save". Now do not go past that screen or
this will not
work. Choose the new profile and save it. Do not save the main
profile. Then turn off the power to the Xbox, then restart. When the game
loads, you will have the traded cards in the new profile and the
same cards still in the Main profile. Redo this method until you
have at least three or more of each card in your
"Cards" profile. Whenever you need new cards, just reverse the trade
and save the main profile instead of the "Cards" profile. Remember,
at this point your "Cards" profile is your stockpile. You do not
want to save on it unless you are adding to your stockpile. And all your
cards will max out at 15 per medal color (Bronze, Silver, and Gold).

such as pitch right handoff sweep, etc., move the secondary over and
cut back. This will force them to follow you. Your fullback and
yourself can have a clear shot at the end zone. Remember to do this
fast, any other play like right up the middle, just juke and try
to plow them over.

Break tackles
To break tackles easier as a running back, press
the instant before you get tackled.
Over the shoulder catch
When you are 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 now catch the ball over his
shoulder.
Better draft pick
If you have a first place team and you know its going to be
really
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 good way to get young players on your already good team.
Note:
This trick needs NCAA Football 2003. Then go to Create
A Player in NCAA Football 2003 and make players with every attribute all the way up.
Or just edit everybody on your
team and make everyone seniors. Then go to dynasty mode then go to the
off-season. All of your seniors will graduate. Export the draft
class. Then, on Madden NFL 2003, import that draft class and
all the people that you created will be there. You should get some
of the players that you drafted. Repeat this as desired.
Obtain any player or draft pick you desire during franchise mode.
After the regular season, like 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 done. Next, make him a 99 overall. Sign him from the free
agency and trade him for any player or draft pick that you want.
You can do this as many times as you desire, and can get ten first
round picks and every player you want.
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 receive another draft pick.
Get a few more yards
When you are just about to go out of bounds and want to gain more
yards, juke to the side away from the sideline. You will not go out
of bounds,
and it also sometimes slows the defense from pursuit.
Easy rushing yards
When you are down in a game late and need yards, substitute your second
string RB in and put your first string RB in at QB. Off the hike,
you can either run or throw it. If a space is open, you will gain
more yards.
Onside kick
First turn off penalties. When you are ready kick the ball when
starting or after you scored, choose one of the onside kicks. Then when
you go to kick, move it all the way over and down. For example, if
your kicker is kicking off facing towards the left, move it all the
way over towards the left and all the way down. You should get the
ball each time.
Better quarterback accuracy
Make note what kind of quarterback you are passing with. If you have
someone like Kurt Warner, you may have better accuracy if you set
your feet, then throw the ball. If you have someone like Donovan
McNabb, you may do better by throwing on the run.
Get any player
Use this 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 all up to 99 points.
Then, put his injury and stamina down to 0. This will not change the
attribute point level. Then sign him as a free agent then trade him to
any team for anybody you desire. 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 desire on your team.
When you are playing in franchise mode you can trade for any player you
desire without having that trade refused. Go into the create a
player menu and create a QB that is all 99s. Then sign that player to
your team then trade him to another team that has a player that you
desire. 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 done, exit out to the franchise main
menu and enter back into the create a player menu. Then 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 again by going into the create a player menu and
editing his attributes all the way up again.
Lower team's overall salary
One way to lower a team's overall salary is to lower certain
players' salaries. You can do this with players that have low
attributes and high salaries. To do this, go to "Rosters" and select
"Edit player". Then select a player on the team that has a low overall
rating (anything under the 80s) and has a high salary. When you
choose to edit the players "Attributes", you will notice that his
salary lowers. Do not change anything in his attributes and exit. You have now made your first budget cut of the season.
Super team
Play through the whole season and save at the Pro Bowl.
Then simulate the Pro Bowl and go to off-season schedule/player
progression. Look for young players from other teams in positions
that you need that have progressed well. Roughjly +7 overall should be
enough. Next, look at your players to see those that have not
progressed. Quit the game and reload your prior saved
game. Trade away all of your players that have progressed negatively
for young players that have progressed well.
Fantasy team franchise
Start a new Madden game with no loaded rosters, teams, franchises,
etc. Then at the menu screen, go to "Features", "Rosters", then "Trade
Player". Now find your desired team and trade the players you do not
want for those that you want. All trades will be accepted, unlike in
franchise mode. Then save your roster under something easy to remember,
load it, start a franchise, and begin to play.
Cheap players that are good
To make a receiver go to create player and create the player as
a quarterback. Then give the player very low passing abilities (zero) and
very high catching and ball handling levels. The player will cost
little because his quarterback skills are terrible. 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 removing his receiving
skills.
Cheaper player
When you happen to have an expensive player, you can release him and sign
him for less money.
Cheaper created players
When the free-agent signing period appears in the off-season, go
to the "Create-A-Player" menu and make a player with low
attributes. He will desire a low salary. Then, offer him a contract.
Before he accepts it, go to the "Create-A-Player" menu again and set
his attributes to anything you want. He should accept the contract
you offered him, and the other teams will almost never bid on him.
Thanksgiving commentary
Just set the system date to the third Thursday in November.
Christmas commentary
Just set the system date to December 25 to hear John Madden say
"Merry Christmas to all".
New Year's commentary
Just set the system date to January 1.
Easier gold in mini-camp mode
Just create a player and trade him to the team that you are doing the
drill with. Then make sure that the created player is playing the
position of the person that you are trying to finish 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 preform 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 happen to know their names,
go to their attributes and turn them all the way down.
Better chance to win coin toss
Hold
after heads or
tails is chosen. You will normally win the coin toss.
Suggested offensive play
First go to create a playbook, select offense, then create this
formation: You can name it as you want.
x xxxxxx
x
x
x
x
Then create this play. Then everyone run blocks except have your
fullback block, lead far right. Have your half back do a hop step
sprint right. If done correctly, just follow your halfback during a
game and the hole will open up. If you play as the Raiders, this
strategy is usually good for at least 8 yards.
On offense, you can be cheap with your QB, especially a fast one.
Line up in a shotgun set with one back if you have it. Try to find a
play where your back flares out and your strong side receiver runs
across the center. The defense's LBs should pick up the back and
receiver, leaving the DB to be in a deep zone. You should have a big
hole. Drop your passing icons and make a mad run for the first down.
Either dive, slide, run out of bounds, or slow down to take a hit
because there are few QBs that can take a full shot and hang on to
the ball. This method has a 95% success rate and only fails if the
defense is good or your OT makes a error.
Suggested defensive plays
Use these plays against All-Madden difficulty level teams. Fist
go to the 4-3 formation and scroll up until you see the "Sweet
Blitz" play. It is a ok play to use when the team runs or passes. To
make it better, have your lineman and linebackers shift so that they
are are in other positions. The "Fireman" is also a good play, as
well but not as good as "Sweet Blitz". You can also locate it in the
4-3 formation. The best play for passing is "Robber". You can locate
it in Quarter. Its good because you will get a lot of your secondary
covering the receivers and is roughly 70% efficient when stopping
passes.
While you are in the 4-3 defense, you can really break down the
offensive line with the Mike blitz. Shift your defensive line to the
strong side and slide your LBs outside to prevent sweeps. Then,
stack your MLB behind the man in front of the center. When the ball
is snapped, blitz to the opposite of the NGs slant. If done
properly, the weak side guard will pick up the DE instead of the MLB
and the center will washout the NG, leaving a big hole for you. It
has a 85% success rate against the middle run and a 65% rate against
the pass. However, if the offense comes out in a twin TE set, the
defense is useless and you will need to switch to whatever strategy
you want to defend this set.
Former NFL coaches
In franchise mode, go to create a coach and enter a former NFL
coach's full name (for example, Don Shula) and all his former stats
should appear.
Announced names
Just create a new team and name the new coach "John Madden".
Then Melissa
will be able to say his name in the game.
To have the announcer's call your name, you have to choose an NFL
player's name that is in the game. For example, use "Dan" form Dan
Marino and "Barber" from Tiki Barber to make a player named "Dan
Barber".
