Mark Stallion.
Electra Coliseum stadium: Defeated Carmen Electra.
Loco Arena stadium: Defeat David Arquette.
Funk Field stadium: Defeat Funkmaster Flex.
Hint: Fantasy stadiums: Choose your teams, then go to the "Options"
menu. Scroll through the stadiums until you reach Aloha Stadium,
then press Right. You will see stadiums with names like
Royal Arena, Gold Coast Dome, Cobra Field, etc. Note: All of
these are indoor stadiums. Gerard Landry.
Hint: Easy crib credits: Create a team of the worst players ever, then play
them with the NFL team or a team of your choice. The opposing
team will be easy to crush under any difficulty setting. Chris Whelihan.
In franchise mode and you are about to play a game, go to "Gamecast
Live". Let it simulate the game, then take control in the
fourth quarter before time runs out. You will be credited with
everything that happened during simulation, and everything you
did while actually playing. Yung Cam.
During a game, turn off the penalties and when your on defense,
go near the QB on their side. When they snap the ball, sack him
for lots of crib credits. Homerhead12345.
To earn some crib credits, simply browse the game's menus. The
best menu is the "Game Manual" in the "Extras".
It tells you how to blitz defenders, assign tight coverage, juke,
etc. Darryl "D-Dogg" Smith.
Note: This trick requires some time, two players, and two controllers.
Select a created team or a very good team and a very bad team.
Play in quick match with the good and bad team and select "Play".
Go to the options menu and change the time from 5 to 10-15 minutes
long. Have the second player control the bad team and intentionally
lose. Have the good team always choose the Hail Mary and the bad
team choose Field Goal Block. Also, always get safeties. If done
correctly, at the end you should get 5,000 to 10,000 or more crib
credits.
After you have made a 100% team, save your roster and start a
new franchise mode game. Do not go into pre- season. Select "No"
when you first start, or the game will say that you need to toggle
your salary. Simulate every game with your good team (do not do
training) and watch the primetime points and franchise points
increase. Note: You may want to set penalties all the way up and
the difficulty, to see what happens. After you are done with the
entire season, the Super Bowl, and the extra games, go into your
crib. Buy as many things as desired, then only save your V.I.P.
Exit your crib then exit the franchise mode without saving. The
game will restore the default roster. Load your roster from within
the "save/load" screen and you will have gained over
6,000 crib credits. Cheo.
Choose the NFL All-Stars as your team. You can also pick some
other team with perfect stats. Then, for the CPU, pick the Cardinals(
or another bad team). You should be able to score a lot and get
some milestones. Tyler Higaki.
Hint: Easy milestone completions: Create a team with 42 of the absolute worst players.
Then, make them even worse by selecting each player individually
and setting their attributes at 0. Note: This is very time consuming.
Then, save the team, load it, and play against them with any NFL
team of your choice. Make sure you have the game set to five to
eight minute quarters, rookie or higher difficulty setting, and
penalties at default (or higher). An easy way to complete the
yardage milestones is to run out of bounds at your one yard line
and start your play from there. Adam Kenney.
Use the following trick for an easy passing game and break franchise
milestones in passing. Use the Colts in franchise mode and go
to "Game Options" at the pause menu during a game. Turn
on "Multiple Hot Routes" (use the Right Analog-stick
to change a pass route for a specific receiver; press Up
for a go, Up/Left for a post left or corner left, Up/Right
for a post right or corner right, Left for an 5 yard out
to the left or 5 yard in to the left, or Right for a 5
yard in to the right or 5 yard out to the right, Down for
a quick hitch, Down/Left for a route that is a small drag
to the left, and Down/Right for a small drag to the right).
Using the multiple hot routes, go to the formation that has five
WRs, no TEs and an empty back field. Make the receiver closest
to the sideline on each side do a go route, the receiver on each
side next to them do a route to the corner, and the other receiver
(on the left or right) go over the middle, and throw a rocket
pass to the receiver going over the middle once he breaks past
the linebacker. This should result in a first down every time
if he catches it, and he should always be open. Touchdowns also
occur frequently. Make sure you use the Colts' playbook. This
can make the passing milestones in single game or franchise mode
very easy. tigersj1421.
Hint: Easy sacks: To get an easy sack, use the 4-3. Then, go up until
you find the play "All Blitz O". Take the left DE and
keep moving left until you get past the left OL. After the snap,
run towards the QB and you should get the sack. Big T.
Turn off all of the penalties (while playing), then on the next
play get the defender to go up to the quarterback without touching
any of the players. And wait for him to hike the ball. Once it
has been hiked, tackle him for a loss of yards. G MoNeY.
This is risky if the opposing team tries for a passing play, however
if you are on defense and select "FG Defend", chances
are you will rush in and either sack them for a loss, stop them
at the line of scrimmage, or rarely the get the pass off and run
if for a TD. Matt.
Turn off penalties and get behind the O line to tackle and sack
easily. mmmmstake.
Hint: Easy onside kicks: Move your meter as far right and as high as it can
go. Then, barely kick it. Your player should run under it and
catch it. However, make sure if you select the player running
towards the ball that he does not hit the player on their team
-- otherwise it is fair catch interference. Scott Ritchie.
Hint: Easy kickoff: To tackle the receiving team behind the fifteen yard
line most of the time, aim your kick all the way up and get a
MAX kick, or close to one. Immediately after to kick, press Circle
and start to sprint with the player. You should be the first one
downfield to tackle the player with the ball.
Hint: Easy first down: Select any Hail Mary play. When you hike the ball,
wait for the three receivers to be down field, then hold R1
with your QB and run. You should get close to or a first down.
This works well if you had a major loss of yards. Alex Tessler.
Hint: Easy two point conversion: Use a running play that makes the HB go through the
middle. If there are DL in your way, press Dive and you
will jump over them and get the two point conversion. kenny nguyen.
Select "QB Draw" or any play where the QB can be immediately
run straight through the center from the snap. This will work
almost every time. Note: You will have to find which formation
it is in. It is different for every team. Make sure your formation
has no more than a five man frontline or the defense will throw
a center run defense at you most of the time. CrimsonReLLiK.
Select "QB Sneak" for a two-point conversion and you
have a 95% chance of getting it. Just run to the left or right
of the center (whichever preferred) and you will get it. PunkdMike09.
Choose the field goal page of the playbook. Flip the plays using
R2, then choose O or field goal pass. Load the meter. Once
it is loaded, you can pass the ball to "L1" who will
be completely open.. It works most of the time, but timing is
still key. However, the "L1" player is so open that
it makes this play work easily. Note: This trick also works for
grabbing a touchdown on the 4th down. Kristy.
Hint: Easy jukes: Instead of pressing R2 and L2 to juke,
use the Right Analog-stick. Move it to the left for a left
juke, right for a right juke, up for a stutter step, and down
for a "stop short" move. Darryl "D-Dogg" Smith.
Hint: Easy spins: Select a team with a fast running back, like the Chargers
who have LaDainian Tomlinson. Then, do a wide running play like
the toss. When a defender comes, press Circle or build
up charge (hold X until it is red and vibrating and release)
and press Circle. For better results, spin off defenders
when they get in your way. This is a good way to get easy touchdowns.
LiLMoney.
Hint: Easy touchdowns: To get easy QB touchdowns, play as the Falcons and
use QB Bootleg to the left. If there is a defender to the left,
then switch up the play or move a tight end there. SweetStuff.
Choose the Ravens and run with Jamal Lewis. Use Triangle
to shoulder-charge to trample over defenders. This is an easy
way to score. Note: Make sure the difficulty is set to rookie
for better results. Davon Moore.
Hint: Easy celebrity games: Use controller two to play to prevent your opponent
from knowing your plays.
Use the All NFL team to destroy the opposition. Let the CPU pick
its play first, then use coaches plays. Northgate35.
Hint: Plow over defender: If you have a power based or balance runner, run towards
a defensive player and hold Triangle (shoulder charge)
to plow over him. Darryl "D-Dogg" Smith.
Hint: Always get the ball: Use the following trick to always get the ball start
a game. On any play, if your opponent has the ball press Start
and go to "Options". Choose "Crib Cheats"
and turn on the "Always Fumble On A Tackle" (if purchased)
and turn off penalties. When you and your opponent select your
plays, go behind the QB, If you touch anyone, you will be flagged.
When you tackle him and there is a fumble, recover the ball. When
you have to select a play, press Start, go to "Options",
select "Crib Cheats" and disable the "Always Fumble"
cheat. When you begin the play, your opponent will not tackle
you and cause a fumble. Repeat this as desired. brandon plunkett the colony texas.
Hint: Beat the salary cap: Beating the salary cap can be frustrating with created
characters. Instead, go to the roster for your favorite team,
find the third string position player, then just edit his name,
stats, and appearance. By doing this, your player will be rated
100 overall, but still be paid a very low salary. brandon plunkett the colony texas.
Hint: Getting good draft picks: In the first round, no matter how many picks the CPU
has, it will only draft tackles, halfbacks, tackles and defensive
ends. First-rounders also can tie down a lot of cap space because
they will typically earn $2.5 to 4 million a year. Second round
picks earn at most $1.5 million a year and typically are in the
80s to high 70s in overall rating for any other position. Your
first priority in Franchise mode should be securing a good HB,
DE, QB and tackles so that you do not have to use your first round
draft pick. If you have a good team, trade your first-round pick
for a second and third before the trade deadline. If your team
is bad, keep the first rounder and trade him in the off-season.
Before the trade deadline and in the off-season, trade expendable
players with ridiculous salaries for second or third round picks.
Players with one year contracts and a 70 overall level can sometimes
get you a second or third rounder if a fourth or fifth round pick
is added. If it is the off-season, look at the Rookie Report for
the highest rated players to see which positions are expendable
for you. Trade some players (even if they are starters) and draft
picks to move up in the second round in the off-season. Get as
many top second round picks as possible, and if you are lucky
you will get some second rounders for the following year. With
luck you will have the top seven to ten second round picks, and
that can provide over five starters. The contracts of these rookies
can also be extended to seven years with very cheap contracts,
giving you the cap space to secure a good HB, QB, DE and tackle.
Using this strategy your franchises can consistently remain $10
to 15 million under the cap. liben.
Hint: Get the best rookies: When it is your turn to pick a player in the draft,
select "Exit The Draft". Go to "ESPN.COM"
at the coach's desk, then go to "Rookie Report"/ Choose
a rookie, then edit him and raise his stats to 99. You can now
pick that rookie in the draft, and he will have a 100 overall
rating. JGDAKIDD.
Hint: Cheap favorite players: Use the following trick to get your favorite or created
players on a franchise cheaply. It takes some time, but always
works. Select the team that you want to use in franchise mode.
Then, make all of the players you want to be on that team have
a zero rating by changing their stats. Put all of those players
on the team you want to use in the franchise mode. Save this roster
or you will have to do it all over again if you make a mistake.
You can now set all of the players' stats to maximum if you desired
(but it will be difficult to re-sign them). Set the stats however
you desire, then go into franchise mode and select that team.
All of your favorite players should now be signed for very cheap.
However, the years on the contract seem to be random though. -D-C-E-J-.
Use the following trick if you play seasons as a franchise and
you need to re-sign a player, but do not have enough money. If
you have high draft picks. release the player. Within a week,
if the player is a good one, another team will sign him. Go to
that team, offer high draft picks and a scrub player. Your player
will be back, and will have signed a lower contract. For example,
assume you have Dieon Branch and a third year receiver, both making
over $4 million per year. At the start of the next season, release
them both and picked up some really bad receivers. By the second
week of training camp, both players will be signed by other teams.
You can then get Branch back for a scrub and a number one draft
pick, and the other receiver for a scrub and two number three
picks. Each players' new contract will be only $3 million vs.
$4 million per year. Arthuro Abanilla.
Hint: Defeating celebrity V.I.P.s: When you play against the celebrity V.I.P.s, you can
use any crib cheats that you have bought or can turn off all penalties.
If you use the cheats, you will not be able to gain any crib credits
or milestones. If you turn off all penalties, you will not be
able to gain any major milestones (see the specifications), but
you will be able to get some of the regular ones. When you defeat
the V.I.P., the game will not penalize you, and you will get them
on your speed dial and their bonus stadium. When playing without
penalties, you can onside kick the ball to your own team by moving
the arrow all the way to the left or right and kicking it as soft
as possible. Another way of defeating them (even easier) is to
just get two or three touchdowns then just wait for the clock
to run out; you will not receive a delay of game notice. Cheo.

No one goes down in points. Turn the injuries down slightly. Sometimes

of backpedaling for the DBs).
Alternately, use the following prep schedule. This is a good weekly
prep and makes everyone go up. However, it does not make them
go up as high as 5. You can change it to match your team's needs.

Hint: Touchdown pose: When you have bombed on an opponent and have no one
around you while running towards the touchdown, slow down (by
slightly pushing the Left Analog-stick) and your player
will stop at the one yard line and pose before scoring. Darryl "D-Dogg" Smith.
Hint: Home stadium sounds: Play at either the Falcons or Seahawks home stadium.
You will hear bird sounds after a big play. Kyle Emina.
Play as the Denver Broncos. After a big play. you will hear a
bronco noise. Mike C..
If you play at the Carolina Panthers stadium, after a big play
you will hear a panther roaring/growling. Matt.
Play as the Buffalo Bills, and you will hear a buffalo sound after
a big play.
Matt
Demarest.
Play at Soldier Field as the Bears. On big plays, you will hear
a bear growl on the P.A. system. BluecollerdSxfn.
Play at the RCA Dome as the Colts. You will hear a horse after
a great play. shannonmi.
Glitch: Indoor snow: Go in a dome (such as the Georgia Dome or the Metradome)
and change the settings to "Weather: Heavy Snow". Start
a game, and after the first play, look at the replay. Move the
pointer to one of the goal posts. If you look at the padding,
you can see that they are frosted. Falconfan507.
Glitch: Wear opposing team's uniform: Go to franchise mode and select any team. Go to the
schedule and prepare. Once done, select "Live Gamecast".
During the game, go to "Depth Charts" and press Select.
Notice that your player is wearing the other team's uniform.
