Hints
NFL challenge mode
Put lots of points in your running back. Short run
plays work frequently. Also, put enough points in one of your
wide receivers to pass once in awhile.
All NFL Pickup mode
Complete the entire NFL Challenge mode to unlock All
NFL Pickup mode. In this mode you can pick a legend or any player
from the regular NFL team.
Opposing Gamebreakers on defense
If your opponent has a defensive Gamebreaker, the best
thing to do is set up a shotgun then throw quick passes. Throw
the passes immediately after the ball is snapped because you will
not get hit and fumble the ball for the other team to get great
field position, or even worse a touchdown. Also, you want the
other team to waste their Gamebreaker.
Using Gamebreakers
If you are skilled enough on offense to score almost
every time you have the ball, do not waste your Gamebreaker on
offense. Use it on defense so you can get the ball back and score
again immediately.
Easy sacks
When you are on defense, choose the plays that use
all three defensive linemen across the frontline. For example,
select the "MLB Blitz" play from the "Stop Run"
or "Short Pass" playbook. Once the screen switches from
playbook view to field view, you will see that you have all three
defensive linemen across the front of the other team's offense,
and that directly behind your defensive line is your linebacker.
Use this player to run straight up between your defensive linemen
that is in the middle of the line and another one of your linemen
either on the right or left, depending on the way that the play
and QB moves. Once the ball is snapped, notice that it only takes
a second or two to sack the QB, which is the amount of time it
takes for the CU-controlled QB to throw the ball. This strategy
not only works with this play (MLB Blitz) but with any defensive
play that allows for three defensive linemen to line up across
the front line with a linebacker directly behind the defensive
line. This strategy can stop some of the running plays and is
excellent for stopping reverses. If you get blocked, it will free
up one of your defensive linemen and he will get to the QB faster.
When you are on defense, choose "All Plays" and select
"Lock Down". Take your linebacker and put him at the
end of your line (right). Hold [Turbo] + [Down] and
when they call hut, go after the quarterback. The linebacker must
have good speed, good defensive moves, and good tackling.
Easy fumbles
Hit an opponent against a wall. Use Warren Sapp for
better results.
Use a Power Hit against a wall. This works about 90% of the time.
Better players in NFL Challenge mode
Do not use all of your tokens all of a sudden when
you are almost completed. Instead, use the green-colored sign
with a fist on it. It gets you more than you asked for, and you
can still get more points taken up for the same price it would
have been.
Recommended players
Choose the Falcons for quick game mode. First, choose
first Keith Brooking, the hardest hitter. Next, pick Patrick Kerney,
a defensive linemen. Select Michael Vick and either Warrick Dunn
or TJ. Ray Buchanan and Bob Whitfield make a even better team.
Finally, choose Peerlice Price, one of the best wide receivers.
Recommended teams
The following teams are recommended, in order: Washington
Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, and Oakland Raiders.
Keep ladder status
Normally when you try to exit the ladder screen, it
erases your ladder status. However, if you turn off your Xbox
at the ladder screen, you can turn it on again and play the game
as usual. When you select the NFL challenge mode, it will take
you to the ladder screen with all of your completed games.
