Increased attendance in franchise mode:
Before playing a home game, enter the "Owner's" menu and set your "Advertising" as high as possible. After you play your game, return to the "Owner's" menu and set "Advertising" to zero, then simulate the rest of the games for that week. You will not be charged for the advertising, but your attendance will be higher. Do this before every home game to keep your attendance high without paying extra.

Selecting a team in franchise mode:
Always choose a team that has between three and five good players on both sides of the ball (for example, the Philadelphia Eagles). That team has a very good passing game with T.O., and you can usually score on the first play of every drive you have. The Eagles also have a powerhouse defense with Kearse, Dawkins, Simon. Another good team to use, especially if you like to pass is the Indianapolis Colts, with Peyton Manning. The Colts have the weapons on offense to be a great team, but their defense has held them back from making the Superbowl. Also, if there is certain player that is not on the team you selected, use the following tricks. Do a fantasy draft and draft the desired player (for example, Ray Lewis). Another way that is not as time-consuming is to create a superstar rookie with all stats maxed at 99, with your choice for the name, appearance, and position. Sign your superstar rookie to your team for seven years and whatever amount of money you choose to give him. Note: you may take a hit in the salary cap if you use this method.

Announcement misspelling:
To have Al Michaels say Vinny Testeverde's name (Dallas Cowboys), you must change Vinny's last name "Testaverde" (default) to "Testeverde".

Signing players to low salaries:
This trick will allow you to sign any player, no matter how big their default salary is, to a three year low-salary contract. You must do this before starting a franchise. First, edit the player's attributes from whatever they are currently down so that their overall rating is exactly 75. Depending on the position, you should be able to achieve this by simply lowering one or sometimes two of their attributes. Make sure to make a note what the original rating was so you can store the value later. Once all players you are editing are at an overall rating of 75, release the players to free agency. After releasing each player (you may have to sign some "no-name" players to your roster to maintain roster requirements, but you can release those temporary players later), back out of the roster management screen to the main menu. Choose the option to "Continue without saving" (this may not be necessary). Reenter the roster management screen and select "Free Agents." Go to whichever team you want to sign the players to and start looking for your players. You should notice that their new requested salaries and contract lengths will be for three years at a very low salary (depending on the position). Once you have signed all of your players back (and released the temporary players), go back to editing the players and return them to the original ratings. Note: According to the manual, your players will become upset if they feel they are being underpaid for how good they are performing; you will more than likely have to re-sign some contracts throughout the year, but with the cap room you will save.

Note: This trick only works on contracts that have completely expired. During the off-season, instead of resigning your players, edit them. Change their position to something that will lower their overall ratings. For example, move a DT to a TE; or make your QB a WR. Then, resign the player. He will play poorly at his new position, making him extremely cheap. Not all player positions can be changed, but a lot of them can -- especially the higher dollar positions. After you resign the player, move him back to his original position. His overall rating will return without any negative affects. For example, it is possible to resign LeRoy Glover to a six year deal worth $1.5 million with no signing bonus at the age of 32, with an overall rating of 97 by moving him to TE.

Whenever you have to re-sign a player in franchise mode, go to player management and edit the player's position to something that would lower his stats. Re-sign him, then change him back to his original position. For example, make your QB a WR, and sign him. This also works for free agents, but not for draft picks. You cannot edit draftees until they are signed.

Use the following trick to keep a good player under the salary cap for a long time. When signing players, sign them for seven years. Give them nothing for a signing bonus. Give them the minimum they will accept for the seven year contract. Your player will then have a seven year contract with the same salary for those seven years. The salary cap will go up every year but their salary will remain the same, so you will actually have more room under the cap for your other players over the following years. When drafting a rookie, also sign him for seven years. Give him $70,000 for bonus and give him the minimum for the contract. By doing this, you will also save on the rookies for a long time. Once in a while your players will holdout but it is worth it in the long run. If you get fed up with your highly paid player or get a better one cheaper, you will be charged nothing in penalty the following season.

Getting good players:
In order to get a team that will last three to four years of dominance, must start with a team with lots of long contracts in place (for example, the Lions). They have four or six, six and seven year contracts on the good rookies. Trade for other players with long contracts. The first person you need to trade is the tight end that makes $12 million a year. Kellen Winslow from the Browns makes a good replacement. Make sure to not build too good of a roster, as your players have personalities and will get upset if they do not start, get the ball, etc. However, a decent roll playing team with outstanding players at these positions will take it every time. QB, HB, WR, or a second WR will not hurt. With DE/DT OLB/MLB CB SS/FS, 80-85 on every other player is more than sufficient. Also, if you trade these players from the rosters before your franchise, you can then edit them to make them better. However, be careful not to go too high on all of them, as they will all want more money and cause major backroom problems.

Use the following trick to get high draft picks every year. Each year after pre-season, simulate or play the games up until week 5. Check the standings to learn who has the worst record so far. Then, initiate a trade with the worst team. Offer the worst team your first round pick for their first and third round picks. They will usually accept. If they do not, find another team that is bad and offer the same deal to them. Once they accept, you can then usually offer both of your third round picks to another bad team for their first round pick. Then after the season is over, you will generally have two first round picks very high in the first round. You will be without a third round pick, but it is well worth it for the two first round picks.

Use any roster. Take the thirrd string or very last player in your depth chart and edit the player. You can do anything you want with him and his salary will be the same, no matter how bad or good he is.

If you find a great player as a free agent, you can sign him if you have a salary cap over $1 million. Just give the player seven years and your salary cap will get lower, but will not go under 0.

First, do a Fantasy Draft with any team other than the Falcons. Once you finish the training camp, preseason, and five weeks in the regular season, look at the standings in the NFC East. You should see that the Falcons are 1-4 or 0-5. Trade your first round pick for their first round pick. This usually works. If not, trade with the next worst team.

In franchise mode, create an offensive lineman that is 45 years old. Set his years in the league to 27. Put his stats all the way up, then sign him on free agency. Next, trade with any team and get any player or pick you desire. This works best with getting first round picks, but can also get a lot of good players. Because he is an offensive lineman, he will not have a huge impact on a team winning and will retire at the end of the season.

In franchise mode, go to "My Team", then "Team Info". Scroll over to "Team Morale". Look under the other team's morale for unhappy players. Those player will be easy to trade for.

Note: If you are starting a franchise with a created team, do not sign too many star players because you will be over the cap limit, and your players will complain about playing time. To have a good team, sign a QB, halfback, and wide receiver all with ratings of 85 to 99. For defense, sign a good middle linebacker, a good safety (strong or free), and a good cornerback, also all 85 or above. This will leave your team with a good offense and defense, and it will keep them under the cap limit.

If you want to create a quarterback with a 99 rating, but do not want to use all of your salary cap space, use the following trick. When you go to create your player, do not make his position QB. Instead, make him a kicker. Set his physical looks as usual. When adjusting his attributes, increase everything up to 99 except for his kick accuracy and kick power. Leave those two attributes at 50. His overall rating will still be 12. Once done, go into free agency and sign him. He will only want the league minimum. Then, go into your depth chart and start him as your QB. Since almost all his stats are 99, he will play better than any QB in the game, and you will not make a dent in your salary cap.

Before starting franchise mode, go to rosters and make all the second and third string players at a 12 rating. Make all the first string players at or above 90. Turn injuries off. If you turn the injuries off you should never have to use your second or third string. Making their rating at 12 will let you sign players for very little money. You will probably lose all of the preseason games, but will dominate and win all season games.

This trick allows you to make quite a bit of more salary cap room. You can easily get $8 to 10 million more. Before you advance to the Off-Season mode (any time during the season), go into "View Rosters". Sort the players by the number of years left on their contracts so that ones with the fewest years remaining are shown on top of the list. For anyone that you want to keep, re-sign them to a seven year contract and adjust the salary and signing bonus to get the most cap room from that player. Continue with all remaining players that you want to keep. You will get more cap room from players with the fewest years remaining on their contract. It does not work as well with if there are five to six years left. If you have players that can resist injury really well, there is not much need for good backups. You can sign lower quality backups to help clear up some cap room.

Create a very good quarterback. Make his speed and catching stats low. Release one player and sign your created player. Trade your created player for whomever desired. Then, go back to the create a player. Select the person you just traded. Make him very fat and change his position to wide receiver. He will not catch a pass, and if he does he will not run very far. Try to make the created players signing bonus low so that it is not a waste of money.

Start a franchise and make every team player-controlled. Before playing any games, go to "Roster", then to "Trade Player". You can trade any player desired to any team. Stack your favorite team with all of the best players. The CPU will not stop you from any trade based on salary cap or team interest. You can put up to 55 of the best players in the NFL on one team. After you have your team set, export the team for use in other game modes.

To get a dream team in franchise mode, start a new franchise and set the user amount to 32 users. Turn fantasy draft on. Then, start fantasy mode and draft your team as you would if you were drafting a team full of the best players in the NFL, but with different teams. Once you have drafted a few All-Stars and gone through two or three rounds picking, you should have the base for a perfect football team. You can simulate the rest of the draft and go on to =franchise mode. Then, go to the trade menu and you can get all your best players that you drafted by just trading with the so called "users". For example, get Peyton Manning for a player such as Chris Simms. Once you have selected a player from the team you want to play with, with a good player from another team, a screen will appear asking if you and the other "user" agree with the trade. Answer "Yes" and you will now have an All-Star in place of a bad player.

To receive high draft picks easily, sign high rated free agents such as Joe Johnson (rated 86) then trade them to teams with poor standings before the draft deadline expires (if you have not disabled the deadline). The poor standing teams will usually take the players for their first round picks, and sometimes you can even get more than one draft pick from a team for the player. This will give you high draft picks without having to trade important players or draft picks of your own.

Use the following trick to get a great team in franchise mode without a high salary cost. Start a new franchise. Pick a team. Do a fantasy draft and pick all the worst players. Then, release all of them and make your team from scratch, through create-a-player mode. Once done with the height, faces, etc., do not change the attributes. Save the player and sign him. Once you sign him, go back to create-a-player. Select his name and change all his attributes to maximum. Repeat this until you have a stacked team. The reason that all the worst players were selected is to keep you from having a high cap penalty during the next season. Note: This will take a few hours to complete.

Fantasy draft:
The following players are selected in the rounds after their name. Therefore, you can draft them in the previous round if you have a good draft pick. For example, pick #6 to 10. For example, if Brian Urlacher is drated in the second round, you must draft him in the first. If Dante Hall is drafted in the fifteenth round, you must draft him in the fourteenth round. Note: These players are always drafted in the round given; choose wisely.

Roy Williams (FS): 7
Tony Gonzalez: 12
Deangelo Hall: 13
Ed Reed: 8
Larry Fitzgerald: 10
D. Akers: 21
Shane Lechler: 23
Rashaun Woods: 31
Jim Kleinsasser: 20
Clinton Portis: 2
Brian Urlacher: 2
Steven Jackson: 27
Roy Williams (WR): 8
Lee Evans: 15
Dante Hall: 15
Reggie Williams: 16
Justin Smith: 5
Julius Peppers: 3

Use the following steps to get Charles Woodson in franchise mode. Sign LB Jason Gildon or John Mobley then trade him with a first round and perhaps second round pick, and get Charles Woodson and a third round pick. After you get him, re-sign him for seven years and his morale should go up.

In the fantasy draft, there are obvious stars that go great with any team but there are also some players how are rated fairly low (85 or below) and still seem like they cannot be stopped:

Jerome Bettis HB
Chris Gamble CB
R. Mathis CB
Eli Manning QB
Warrick Dunn HB
Micheal Lewis WR
Kenny Mixon LE
Kenchi Udeze RE
R.W. McQuarters CB
Ben Roethelisburger QB
Corneilius Griffin DT (rated 87)
Reggie Wayne WR

Some player are highly rated, but arguable do not perform as they should.

Mike McKenzie CB
Edgerrin James HB
Issac Bruce WR
Matt Hasselbeck QB
Chris Hovan DT
Corey Dillion
Takeo Spikes

Before playing under the All-Pro or All-Madden difficulty settings, play your franchise under the Rookie or Pro levels so you can increase stats for your players easily. This will give them more attribute upgrades throughout the season. The more yards your receivers or running backs get, the more points their ratings will increase.

More effective running game:
First, make a tight end. His name, college, etc. is your choice. When you edit his appearance, make him 6'8", and 275 to 300 lbs. Then, make him have a muscular bulid in his body and arms. If you set his attributes ti above average or better (overall between 84 to 99), when you run a play that involves running towards the side the tight end is set, he will open holes and lanes that will enable you to gain 6 to 7 yards a carry.

Easy tackles:
You can get numerous easy tackles with your MLB by using him during your kickoffs. Go to coaching strategies and find "Kickoff". Assign the third player from the left to be your MLB. Assign the first two players on the left as very slow CBs or FSs. When you kick off, kick the ball to the left side where your MLB is assigned. If you do not kick it too deeply, your MLB will be the first one downfield and will go unblocked into the return man. Note: If you have the roster space and some money, create a CB and FS and make all of their attributes zeros. You should have no trouble signing them to a contract. You can then use them on your kickoff squad and they will almost never make it downfield. With this trick, in addition to the tackles your MLB gets during the game, he will get one for every kickoff as well.

Easy gains on run plays:
Enable the "Human Plow" Madden Card which increases your break tackles. Make sure your running back has a good break tackle rating (for example,Jamal Lewis or Stephen Davis). Also make sure it is a Gold card to make it effective throughout the entire game.

Easy sacks:
Go to the settings and turn off offsides. Get a fast runner, go to the line of scrimmage, and keep running. He will be running in place. When the QB calls hike, he will run past the defenders and get a sack. This works about 80% of the time.

Tear up defenses:
On the All-Madden difficulty setting, use the Redskins playbook. Select the WAS - J.Gibbs playbook. In the game, run on first down then select the Shotgun Trips formation on second down. If the Nickelback is not lined up with the second receiver, he is coming to get you or he is playing flat zone. If so, put the first receiver on a fly/streak route, and make the third receiver post to the sideline. This will work all the time if you have an accurate passer.

Easy deep routes:
You can make an adjustment to your route in create-a-playbook that can make throwing the deep route much easier and the game more fun. In create-a-playbook, if you have a normal streak, adjust the route so that it is going to the side of the receiver (if on the right side, adjust the route to the right; if on left, adjust the route to the left). It is like a fade, and make sure it is at the maximum vertical yardyage. In a game, it usually works best with a play action, but it also is effective in shotgun against a normal man on man with a safety over the top situation. You should wait about two to three seconds, then lob it. It works well when you have a top speed receiver such as Bethel Johnson or Dante Hall, or against a cornerback about 93-94 speed.

Easy yards:
Select a team, then go to the options and choose NYG - Tom Coughlin's playbook. Make sure your running back has at least 92 speed. Go the "I twins" and choose the "Off Tackle" play. It works all the time. Make sure there is no CB on the empty side and do not run it on third and long. If the hole is stuffed, always run directly at the tightend then spin and run toward and up the sideline. If done correctly, the only person that can get you is the safety. Also you should at least get a first down (depending on the level of play), if not a 20 or more yard gain. You also can run it to the side of twins; just make sure that the LBs and the line is shifted all the way to the right. If not, keep audibling the original play. It does not do anything for you, but gets the defense to start shifting around. Keep doing it until all of the LBs and the line shift all the way to the right.

For easy completions almost every time, use Lovie Smith's playbook. In that playbook, go to "Shotgun" then the "Trips" formation. In the formation, use almost any play in it. You will get a 2 on 3 wide receiver mismatch. Be careful, as the CPU will learn how to move their players over there, and will eventually know your play if you run it too often.

Use the following trick to get easy yards on the passing game. Make sure you pick a team with a good receiving tight end and at least one fast receiver. Also, make sure you have the play "Posts" on the Singleback formation. This play is very effective against any defense, and especially on a third and long play. Once you snap the ball, wait until the tight end slants on the post route then throw him a bullet pass. Almost all of the time he will complete the pass and get enough yards for the first down. Also, if you see that the receiver on the right has a lot of separation from the coverage, you can tap the button he is assigned to give him a long lob pass, that if completed could be good for about a forty-fifty yard completion, and he may also have enough separation to go for a touchdown. Most of the time though, just throw it to the tight end. It takes a very long time for the defenses to adjust, and you will be racking up points easily.

Lead your receivers when you are the quarterback and throw into them. Be careful not to make errant throws that can be easy picks for defenders.

Use your spin early when rushing to the left or right to avoid defenders.

Easy onside kick recovery:
Get the power rating between 65 and 80; and the accuracy between 40 and 80. You should recover the kick about 90% of the time. For an even greater chance, try to get the power between 70 and 75; and the accuracy between 70 and 75.

Easy blocked punts:
It is possible to block a punt as long as it is against an opponent. Select "Punt Block" if you are sure your opponent is going to punt the ball. Then, take the cornerback on the weak side and get as close to the line of scrimmage as you can without going over. Watch your opponent's meter, and as soon as you think he will stop it, sprint across the line and just run directly into the punter. Do not try a big hit unless you want a fumble because you might miss him.

Select "Punt Block". The CPU will audible to bring in blockers. Take the fastest man from left side and bring him to the right so that he is the last man on the line of scrimmage. Just as the last man is about to be set on the CPU's team, come from right off the line of scrimmage and avoid blockers by running straight down then hit the punter. Note: You may want to try this at 4th and 6 or longer so a 5 yard flag will not give them a first down.

Easy fumbles:
Use your [Hit-Stick] when on defense at all times. This will increase the rate of fumbles you cause. You will injure more opponents, and can also kill your opponent's stamina as well.

Shifty jukes when running the ball:
To have a higher chance of breaking tackles when running, press the [Juke] buttons according to which side you want to run to.

Avoid being sacked:
When a defender is going to tackle you. go left and right as fast as possible. He will duck or break it.

Money play:
The hook routes are the most successful plays to complete in the game.

Ground Attack mini-camp:
An easy way to get gold on each level is to stand behind two pillars (linemen) that are bunched together and use playmaker to make your Full Back knock one of the other team's players down. After you have blocked them, it will be easier to score touchdowns or get long runs. This works most of the time.
