NFL 2K2

Hint: 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".

Hint: 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.

Hint: 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 except jumping and block. Thrown ball should be 95 and intelligence 50.

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

Hint: More stamina:
Score a touchdown three times with the same player. Your team will have their stamina will rise dramatically.

Hint: Easy sacks:
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 almost every time unless there is a TE were your LB is located.

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

Take a line backer (preferably a outside one) and move him next to your defensive line. After the quarterback huts the ball, run around the offensive line and run in for a easy sack.

Pause game play, go to "Settings", "Game Play", and disable of encroachment and offsides. Line up behind the QB and it will be easy to get a sack.

Hint: 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 very often.

Aim the ball to the far right and kick it at the lowest power. Let the bar go all the way up, then wait for it to come back down. Make sure you have a player that has close to 100 Speed to get the ball. He will beat the other team to it every time. An easy way to do this is to create a player, and make him a linebacker.

Hint: Bullet pass:
When you pass to a receiver, hold down the button rather than pressing it. The quarterback will throw a bullet pass directly to him. This pass works better than a regular pass.

Hint: Pin your opposition deep:
Go to the substitution for the onside kick defense. Put in the fastest DBs and WRs. When it is time to kick off, pick the onside kick. Allow the power meter go just beyond three quarters full. The ball will bounce on about the 5 or 10 yard line and your players will be there to tackle and/or recover the onside kick deep in the opposition's part of the field. Sometimes you will even get a safety.

Hint: 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 higher chance of fumbling.

Before scoring a touchdown, make sure there are no defenders close to you. 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 are 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 try it.

Hint: Higher dive:
If someone is laying down or is on their hands and knees in front of you, press Dive. This works best near the goalline for getting a touchdown.

Hint: Checking injuries:
To check the injuries before the girl tells you, pause game play when "Injury" appears in yellow under the score. Then, go to "Stats", then "Injury" to learn that information. Note: All of this happens in the pause menu.

Hint: Funny commentary:
Put a defensive back (for example, a cornerback) at wide receiver. If he fumbles the ball or drops a pass, then the announcer will say "Wow! He's better at deflecting the ball then catching it!"

Hint: Get higher rated players in trades:
The CPU will accept any trade that is within 4 points of their player, and not their best player at that position. For example, Player A 72 for Player B 76. Keep doing this until you get a decent player. Note: This works best with wide receivers and defensive backs.

Hint: Perfect team:
When you create a player, the game will let you assign that player to as many positions as desired. To take advantage of this, create a player, and take out every player that fills a certain position. For example, take out all the wide receivers. Select your player repeatedly to play that position, and you will have copies of that player. For example, you can have ten wide receivers named John Doe with the same stats, jersey number and everything else. Also make sure that the attribute points are correctly assigned for his position so they will do better. Note: Do not assign one player to every position, do not make him a running back, and a wide receiver, and a quarterback. Different position require different stats. Make one player for each position.

Hint: Super deformed players:
Create a custom player and make him as heavy and short as possible 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.

Hint: Trading for higher rated players:
To get between an 85 and 90 rated player in franchise mode, keep trading a player from that position up about a point or two. For example, if you want to get a 85 rated running back and you have a 74 rated running back, trade on up from a 74 for 75, a 75 for a 76, a 76 for a 77, a 77 for a 78, and so on. This should work up into the 85 to 90 range.
