Hints
Easy Madden Cards
Note: This trick requires a controller pak to save your user profile. Go to "Custom Options" and highlight "Load". Load the user profile until there are four of the same profile. Go to Madden Cards and trade a Bronze Card for three Gold Cards. Repeat, then save your user profile and reset he game. Keep repeating this to get tokens to buy Madden Cards.
Unlock the EA Sports or Sugar Buzz and the Monsters teams. The Monsters are a very bad team, so you are almost guaranteed of getting about 130 madden cards each game.
Easy Madden points
Choose your favorite and least favorite teams. Enter the rosters screen and select the "Edit Player" option. Make everyone on your favorite team a perfect 99 points for everything, then go to you least favorite team's roster and make everyone on their team the minimum 15 for everything. 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.
Hint: Easier Juking in a kick off return:
</STRONG>When receiving the ball on a kick off return, follow closely behind your lead blocker (the second recipient of the ball). Just as the secondary line of men make contact to block the rushers, press the [L]/[Z] or [R] to juke out your opponents. If timed correctly, this will throw all of the rushers out of synch, and allow your blockers to pick each one of them up. As you pass this line of rushers, there will be a few solo ones in the backfield. Just juke them out and you should have a touchdown return.
Bust through line
When you are running the ball, frequently press [A] and your player will charge through and at least try to get through the hole.
First down
Select special teams, and choose "Fake punt". The CPU will call an audible, and either L or R will be open for a pass for the first down.
Glitch: Jersey numbers
When the sideline is shown, the team that is standing there all have the same numbers (usually 88 or 89).
Glitch: Knock down referee
When on defense get up to a referee and get on him. When the play starts you will knock him down. You have to get right on the referee for this to happen.
Glitch: Tackle while sliding on the ground
When on defense close to your defending endzone, run into the goal post. Make sure you are still on the ground when the other team hikes the ball. If done correctly, your player will slide on the ground able to tackle as normal. This is best done when playing two or more players on different teams.
Glitch: Madden Cards erased, but teams and stadiums remain
Press "Reset" while the game is saving your user profile. For example, if you had the Monsters card it will be gone from the card book, but in the season, exhibition, etc. modes you will be able to use the Monsters.
