"Select all of the rookies from this past years NFL draft and trade them
to a team you want to be in the franchise mode. Either play the games with them
or simulate them, you won't be good at first but give it a couple years and your
a Super Bowl contender. Every 1st RD pick is on the game so make sure you fill
up your backups also." - hump13
"Surprised i haven't seen this tip mentioned. When you need short
yardage, go to goal line offense and jam it up the middle. Good for a
couple every time. Also use goal line defense when you are sure the the
other team is going to run. You might get burnt once in awhile with that
tip though." - defenseless
"When playing with a team that is not very good offensively pound the
ball and run hitches........run three hitches to one side the corner
remembers.........Go deep.........fly routes work best..............use hot
routes to to exploit what the defense is giving you.....i have found that a lot
of the time you can hit your tight end for ten to fifteen yard gains late in the
game if you shy away from him in the beginning." - Newsome
"If your completion percentages are usually low .....your accuracy will
improve when you move out the pocket or throw on the run and step forward you
give your receivers better balls...especially when you have terrible
quarterbacks." - pz
"Here is a real tip for you all... Run a 5 wide out pattern where the
number one receiver cuts across the middle. Send the two receivers on the left
deep and after the number one receiver finishes getting past the middle of the
field, hit him. It can be good for at least 9 yards a pop... if it's a fast
receiver, you can usually get 20 to 30 yards out of it" - The Man
"Instead of using the lineman or linebackers at the snap of the ball,
try using a safety. When the ball is snapped, don't press any buttons and the
computer will run the safety's defense, whether it be to drop back in coverage
or come up to guard a wideout. If it's a deep throw on your side of the ball,
hold R1 and press triangle right in front of the receiver, interception every
time. Once you get good at it, its unstoppable" - Manning
