Press [A], [B]x2, [C], [A], [C]x2 at the coin toss screen. The opposing team will forfeit the game.
Hold [Start] + [Select] + [L] + [R] + [A] on controller two then power on the Genesis. Then, hold [Down] + [B] + [Y] + [L] + [R] to reset the cartridge's saved game information.
Press [C]x2, [B]x2 at the main menu (with the play now, new season, continue season, and new player options). John Madden will say "Boom" to confirm correct code entry. The game will continue with no opening screens and a fast coin toss. This code will also allow the length of each quarter to be set to 15 seconds, 5 minutes,10 minutes, or 15 minutes.
Note: This trick requires a six-button controller. Hold [Mode] during game play to sprint.
