Superstar mode: Better agent

Answer the interview questions as a team player. Then when you hire an agent, more of them will want to sign with you.

Recommended defense

Try blitzing on first and second downs but not on the third down. Your opponent may be used to rushing his throws and throw the ball right into your coverage.

If you choose a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense against any team, select a play in which you blitz all your linebackers and have your defensive backs cover the receivers. This works about 90% of the time. You will average at least five sacks per game.

This works best when playing against the CPU and works well in two player mode. Use a 4-3 defense and use engage eight. Make the safety that blitzes into yellow coverage and the linebacker to the left in yellow coverage too. Next, make the line come in and have the linebackers spread out. Put the MLB that is blitzing between the end and the tackle on the left side. Put the other line backer that is blitzing in between the other tackle and end. For some flare, pump up the crowd at the snap. It should be easy to predict if it is a pass or run because QB vision will appear if it is a pass. On third down it is most likely going to be pass; just predict pass and they should be used to rushing their throws. You may be able to get an easy interception.

Use the following choices with a base 4-3 defense. This defense covers basically all holes that most defenses have and will normally prevent any long runs or long pass plays against you.

SS: Ed Reed (Reed is better at the SS position than FS)
FS: Brain Dawkins (another great FS option is Sean Taylor if you want a younger player)
CB1: Champ Bailey (another great CB1 option is Deangelo Hall if you want a younger player)
CB2: Marcus Trufant
MLB: Brian Urlacher
LOLB: Shawne Merriman (he is the youngest and the highest rated player)
ROLB: Lance Briggs (Joey Porter is another good choice but Lance Briggs is younger)
DT1: Casey Hampton (great strength and run stopping ability)
DT2: Tommie Harris (pass rushing and tackling ability)
RE: Dwight Freeney (only disadvantage is his size but his skills match up to that of Julius Peppers)
LE: Julius Peppers

Choosing the correct parents

When starting Hall Of Fame mode, certain parents will give you large boosts in key stats. If you want a receiver that is very fast, look for a hall of fame WR father with the note "He was the Randy Moss of his time". You should end up with 95 or higher speed. If you want a fast quarterback, look for a Pro Bowl or Hall of Fame QB father with the note "He was the Michael Vick of his time". You will be insanely fast and have good throwing power. Note: Do not chose a father with the note "He was his era's Tom Brady." He will be extremely slow (55 or less speed) and not be able to outrun anyone.

If you want to get a fast running back in Superstar mode look for a father who is a U.S.A. sprinter. It might cost you in other areas, but you will get 94 rated speed. Do not change any body features even though you are short.

Avoiding injuries

When you think one of your players may be injured on offense, hurry the play up and they will get back up.

Easy interceptions

When on defense, switch to one of the safeties in a zone coverage and pick up on a receiver. Stay about five to ten yards away from the receiver. When the quarterback throws the ball to that receiver, run towards the receiver. Press Triangle  PlayStation3  or Y  Xbox 360  when you get in front of the receiver, just as the ball is getting there.

Easy kicker and punter stats

 PlayStation3   Use the following trick to get more field goals and punts in Superstar mode. If you are a punter, put him as a QB, then on your audibles set a play called "Punt". If you are a kicker, put him as a QB, then set "Field Goal" on your audible. Call the audible as soon as the offensive line is formed. You can now rack up more field goals from your opposition's 42 yard line forward. If the ball is spotted on the 50 yard line, you will shoot from about 15 to 18 yards further back than that (which is already an NFL record).

Touchbacks

 PlayStation3    Xbox 360  Use the following trick to acquire influence credits for touchbacks from kickoffs or punts for a Superstar punter and kicker, and to make sure that your touchbacks will be credited to your Hall of Fame resume as well as your stats line. Do not just boot the ball out of the endzone so that the returner cannot catch it. Make sure the returner catches the ball and kneels down. Also, even when you can back up a promise and win the game, never arrange media with the agent if you want to maintain a positive ego and avoid becoming a "lone wolf". However, being a "lone wolf" is useful for transforming a pocket QB to a makeshift scrambling QB.

Easy kicker and punter stats

 Xbox 360  Use the following trick to get more field goals and punts in Superstar mode. If you are a punter, put him as a QB, then on your audibles set a play called "Punt". If you are a kicker, put him as a QB, then set "Field Goal" on your audible. Call the audible as soon as the offensive line is formed. You can now rack up more field goals from your opposition's 42 yard line forward. If the ball is spotted on the 50 yard line, you will shoot from about 15 to 18 yards further back than that (which is already an NFL record).

Easy Madden Tokens

 PlayStation3    Xbox 360  Enable any one of the codes for a stadium card several times. Then, go to the card screen and sell the stadium cards you just obtained. You will get 25 Madden Tokens for a card. When you have 100 tokens you can buy a new pack of cards.
