Hint: Easy punt blocking:
Choose the play Punt Return Right, Middle, or Left. Before everyone lines up on defense, take your LE and bring him to the right of the MLB. After you bring the LE over, press the C-stick Right so your line moves over. As soon as the offense hikes the ball, use your turbo and head straight for the Punter. Once you get close enough, jump (Y) and you will either block the punt or hit him hard. If you happen to miss the ball, you will usually end up taking a penalty. Refer to the following diagram (O is defense and X is punting).

Hint: Easy 2-point conversion:
After you score a touchdown, select the "Ask Madden" button. He will almost always suggest kicking a field goal. Instead, go up one set of plays, and pick the play "RB Direct Snap". No matter what defense you are playing against, you will always get the 2-point conversion. Note: If you cannot get in immediately, press B to dive near the goal line.

Hint: Easy scoring:
Turn penalties off. On the coin toss, choose kick. Then, select "Onside Kick" for a play . Pull Back + Right (if your kicker is left footed, pull Back + Left) and kick with full power then recover the onside kick. Choose your quarterback then scroll down and select "Hail Mary" as a play.

Hint: Easy sacks:
In easy mode, go on the other side of the line of scrimmage and stand in front of the quarterback. Remain there in front of him until he hikes the ball, then tackle him. Make sure you do not touch anybody while getting in front of him.

On defense, pick the defensive formation "4-3," then pick the play "Whip Man." After the offense chooses their play, shift your four linemen to the left (C-stick Left) and shift your three linebackers to the right (R) before the snap. Chances are the ROLB (right outside line backer) will take the quarterback down. The DT(defensive tackle) might also sack the quarterback if the ROLB is held in the line. Note: To get better results, either choose the ECKO team or pump up your favorite team's defense.

Select the 3-4 defense play and select the play Wipman. Then, control the DT on the left. Move him to the right to block the center. This will work about 80% of the time.
CRILLIN33.

Hint: Easy recovery:
Use the following trick to always recover the ball when kicking. Go to a play where most of your players are on the left. When kicking, put the arrow to the bottom left and kick at full power. Your players will have a very good chance to keep the ball.
LuigisBestBud.

Hint: Easy passes:
When you are the QB, you can throw the ball two different ways: straight (hold the button of the receiver you want to throw it to) and up high (press and release the button for that receiver). When you throw it up high, the QB will throw the ball over the safety to your receiver. He will catch the ball most of the time. Throwing it straight is the most common way. He just throws it to the receiver and it will not go over the safety. It is best to use the straight pass if the WR is wide open.
JC Nolasco.

Hint: Easy tokens:
For easy tokens, go to the two minute drill screen. Choose two to four accounts, and the Admirals for defense. Choose your team and make sure you choose a profile to save to, then start playing. Keep throwing to WR2 and you should get many touchdowns. It is possible to get a score over 33,000 with this trick.
YoshimitsuNik11.

Have the Dragons on defense and the Titans as offense. You can score well over 55,000 points by selecting HB Off Tackle as a play. It takes about eleven seconds to run and you receive 5,150 points per touchdown and 375 points for running the same play as a two point conversion. If you can successfully score 11 touchdowns, you will have a score over 55000.

Edit the speed of every player on the Raven's defense to 15. Edit all of the halfbacks', fullbacks', tight ends', and wide receivers' ratings down to 0. Edit you offensive lineman's pass block rating to 99. Edit your quarterback in the following manner: 0 Passing Power, Accuracy; 99 Speed, Accel, Carrying, Awareness, Stamina, and Agility. Save your roster as "Cheat", load it before doing the following trick. Start a Two Minute Drill. Choose All-Madden, and then the Ravens' defense. Choose whatever team you modified offensively, and make them your offense. Next, you will need a passing play. Choose Single Back Formation, and then Hot Route your second wide receiver, looking left to right. Also Hot Route your tight end. For the Hot Routes, make them do a buttonhook (Left on the D-pad). Now instead of passing the ball, run a "Quarterback Sweep" by sending the quarterback to the right side of the field. Run towards the endzone, using speed bursts as needed. Make sure you get to the endzone. If you do not, call timeout if the clock keeps ticking. If a penalty is called, do not waste the time running down the field. Just head out of bounds, and do it over. You should be able to score about ten touchdowns. Your score will be very odd, and you will get millions of tokens. Go the Madden Cards menu to see your tokens -- they may not appear on the Two Minute Drill menu.

Create a profile with M. Martz's playbook. Run the two-minute drill under rookie with Galaxy as the defense. Use the Rams. Run single back 5 wide, Hail Mary. Faulk or Hakim will be open every time. You can score 100 points and get about 220 tokens. It takes nine seconds to score.
Matt White.

Select "Options" at the main menu and select "Roster". Go all the way over to "Edit Player" and select your favorite team. Increase their stats all the way. Set your worst team's stats down as far as it can go. Then, back out and save the roster. Select "Options", then "Settings". Put the game on "All Madden". Go to either exhibition or two minute drill mode. Start playing and do well. If you selected exhibition mode, run the ball all the way back to the 1 yard line. Then, do a Hail Mary, catch it, and run for a touchdown. You get 36 tokens every time you pass a 90 yarder. Note: You need Madden Challenge on and should have a profile.
Joseph Costroff.

Go to exhibition mode and play as the Ecko team against the Dragons. Turn penalties off and do an onside kick if you have to kick. Repeatedly do running plays and you should be able to score over 100 points in the game. Note: Make sure the Madden Challenge is on.

Hint: Avoid tackles:
Stop running for a moment. You can sometimes easily avoid being tackled. Sometimes you will need to juke, spin, or stiff arm to get past defenders.

Hint: Good protection:
To get good protection on kick returns, choose "Onside Kick" as your play. When you run back the ball, you will usually get past the 20.

Hint: Unlimited money in franchise mode:
First, select season mode. Next, choose a team, but do not select "Start" yet. Go to "Salary Cap" and change it to "No". Play all the games of your season. When a prmpt appears asking you to convert season to franchise, select "OK". Choose your team to play with again and resume to the off-season schedule. When you want to sign a player, you will see "No Cap" at the top. You may now sign anyone of your choice.

Hint: Kiss a cheerleader:
After your first five seasons in franchise mode, at the end of the SuperBowl there will be a cheerleader waiting for you. You have to be a running back, corner back, wide receiver or a linebacker for this trick to work.

Hint: Cracked helmet:
Play an AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl game at Aloha Stadium in season mode. During the game, get a player's helmet popped off (try getting hit in the middle of a throw). After that same play, view an instant replay and zoom in on the helmet that popped off to see that it is cracked.

Hint: Get the ball at the start:
Set the weather to "Heavy Rain" before the game. If the CPU wins the coin toss, it will choose to kick most of the time.

When facing the CPU at the coin toss, rapidly press L and R. The CPU will usually choose to kick if it wins the coin toss.
Andrew Trahan.

Hint: Stall a two-minute offense:
Use the play Dime: Double Wide when you need to stall a two-minute offense. You will have a better chance of running the clock while the opponent is trying to score with a two-minute offense.

Hint: Offense always gets the ball:
When kicking off (at least in an indoor stadium), aim all the way up and all the way to the right. With penalties off, the returner will call for a fair catch. One of your cover players will either strip the returner or catch the kick, giving you the ball on the 35. For example, play as the Buccaneers. When playing at Detroit, Grammattica will kick it and Dwight Smith will make the play downfield.
