The cards each serve one use, except for stadium cards, team cards, and historical players, which are always active. The other cards are for cheat codes and boosting player attributes. All cards last the entire game, but lower level cards are less effective. You earn Madden Cards by purchasing them with Madden Tokens. Madden Tokens are earned by accomplishing certain feats during game play. There are five levels of feats to accomplish, and you get more tokens for the higher difficulty level.

Make one a permanent file and the other just for trading. Then, trade three Gold Madden Cards for one Bronze Card. Keep doing this until you have many cards. Sell the cards you just traded until there are enough Tokens to buy a new pack. Repeat this process until you get the desired number of Cards.

Save your roster changes. Repeatedly play in exhibition mode and do your best; run kickoffs and punts for touchdowns, let yourself get tackled, and run for 96 yards for a touchdown, etc. This can result in over 1000 points in a game.
Easy interception
Use the following trick if you are down late in the game against the CPU, and on are defense and need to get the ball back. Line up in a punt receiving formation. The CPU will call an audible and you should also do so. The CPU calls the audible for a passing play. Then, you can intercept the ball, getting another chance to score.
Easy run
When you need 4 or 5 yards in one run, use the I-Form and toss right.
Choose any team, then pick select D. Jauron's playbook. Go to "Singleback Normal" and pick "HB Sweep". You will run to the left. Keep tapping [X]. Then, one person will appear, press [L1] to juke left. You will now be free to run. Make sure you are tapping [X] at all times.
Easy sacks
Select FG Block for your defense. Select your starting right defensive end and move him next to your left defensive end. Then, rush the QB at full speed and you should get a sack. This works best when you have a fast DE.
Use the "Dime Man Zone 2" play and rush the DB on the left (T. Fair recommended) to get an easy sack.
On defense, pick the "Gut Blitz" play then move the man next to the end to the middle lined up with the other three players. When the QB snaps the ball, run down between two of the offensive players.
Easy win
Choose to receive the ball if you win the coin toss at the beginning of the game. When the ball is given to you in the second half, onside kick it. You should get the ball in both halves.
Good defense
Use the following steps for consistent good defense against the CPU and good blitz coverage. On defense, anytime you select a play with one or more LB or DB blitzing, select a lineman (preferably a quick one). After the ball is hiked on a pass play, use him to cover a running back instead of pass rushing (or tight end if all RBs are blocking) by running mostly to the side and upfield. Depending on which lineman you choose, it will leave a side of the offensive line with too many pass rushers to handle. If the CPU selects a run play, it is best to react by running straight for the running back instead of running backwards to cover upfield. The opposing team will either get sacked, throw an incomplete pass, run the ball for no gain, or throw an interception on a very consistent basis.
Block punts
Select "Punt Block", then move three men over to the left. starting with the first man to the right of the center until the end man is not lined up on the safety any more. If done correctly, the three men moved should be blocked on the left end, and the SS and the RB/FB should run in unblocked to stop the punter before he kicks the ball. Select the SS and run at the punter as fast as possible when the ball is snapped. Substitute a fast SS on defensive subs on the punt block play.

Trade the HB for Ricky Williams or Eddie George. Trade two WR for Randy Moss and Cris Carter. Then trade the two TE for Frank Wycheck and Shannon Sharpe.
