Get Cheerleader/Pump up the crowd card:
---------------------------------------
Go to mini camp and beat the game situation.  You will get a cheerleader 
card equal to the team you beat the challenge with

Mini Camp Cards:
----------------
Get a gold on the different difficulty levels in all the mini camp 
challenges to unlock cards.

No Cap in Started Franchise:
----------------------------
To turn off the cap in a franchise you already have started get your team 
extremely close to the salary cap (100k to 0k works for me) but you have 
to be missing a player you need (ex. have only 4 WR) then try to go to a 
regular or pre-season game it will say something to the effect of "You 
need a WR" then give you a choice to sign one or have the CPU sign it, 
choose CPU. Then it will pause for a second and say "no cap room choose 
cancel to sign player yourself or choose ok to turn off salary cap 
permanently. "Its that simple warning though this will turn off owner 
mode for good.

Help Lower Salary Cap (in franchise mode):
------------------------------------------
To help lower the salary cap,when you sign people sign them for 7 years 
and raise the signing bonus, it will raise your cap until a certain 
point then will lower it,raise it to the point when it gives you the 
most cap and there ya go as Madden himself would say BOOM

Add stats to Bio:
-----------------
Every time you simulate a season, if your team makes the playoffs it raises the 
stats on your EA Bio. You only have to save the Bio, and not the season.

Determine if defense is playing man to man coverage:
----------------------------------------------------
Send a player in motion. If a defensive player follows him, then the corners are playing 
man to man coverage. Remember that the safeties may have zone and a LB could cover a WR 
(should be an easy completion).

Easy defense:
-------------
If you have a lead and know that the opposing team is going to pass, the best defense is 
the Quarter Cover 2. Spread the line and bring the coverage in. Then, take control of one 
of the CBs and the DE should take care of the outside blocker, whether it be a TE or a OT. 
This should leave you with a wide open lane to the QB. You may give up a few runs up the 
middle, but if you are quick enough with the playmaker, make the defense come in and that 
is covered.

Always receive at kickoff:
--------------------------
When you first choose teams, select the keyboard. After you select "Play Game", 
keep pressing D after the game loads. About 95% of the time, you will get to receive 
the ball.

Easy interceptions:
-------------------
While in defense, choose the play Nickel-Normal, go to cover 2. Now that you chose the 
play move your line in, your LB to the left, and your coverage in. Note: This only work 
about 85% of the time in rookie mode, sometimes in pro, if you are lucky on all-pro, and
almost never in all-Madden settings.

Easy sacks:
-----------
If you have Bill Callahan's defensive playbook, go to Nickle defense and scroll down until
you find Middle Blitz. Select that play then shift both your line and your LBs inside. 
You should get a sack about 85% of the time.

Easy fumbles:
-------------
Go to Mini Camp mode. Do the LB Chase And Tackle. First do it under the rookie difficulty 
setting, and when you are skilled enough, advance to the pro setting. Get a gold trophy 
in the mini camp drill. Do not waste your time in the game situation. You will receive a 
Silver Fumbilitis. Use the card during a game. This card increases your chances of getting
a fumble by 50%.

Easy punt return touchdowns:
-----------------------------
Chose "Block Punt" then when they come out, audible to a middle punt return. 
This will work about 85% of the time. 

Quick blitz:
------------
If you want to blitz fast, go to the setting menu, then choose "Penalty", and turn off 
"Offsides". 
You can now run before the play.

Free advertising:
-----------------
Just before a home game, put all advertising up and play your game. After the game, do not
sim week. Go out and set the advertising to zero. Sim week and you will get 100% attendance,
but pay nothing.

Halloween commentary:
---------------------
Set the system date to October 31. 

Thanksgiving commentary:
------------------------
Set the system date to the third Thursday in November. 

Christmas commentary:
---------------------
Set the system date to December 25. 

New Year's commentary:
----------------------
Set the system date to January 1. 

Extremely bored crowd:
----------------------
Get the highest amount of points you can in the game. After this, if you get an interception, 
touchdown, etc., the fans will not have any reaction and seen extremely bored.

Easy points and tokens on Two Minute Drill:
-------------------------------------------
To get over 70 points and nearly 40,000 points in Two Minute Drill, play as the Rams and use 
both the Shotgun-Normal-Hail Mary and Shotgun-4WR-Hail Mary plays. Use both these formations 
every few plays just to throw off the defense. Throw to Marshall Faulk while in the normal 
formation after you have moved him to the left or right and you should have a touchdown about
96% of the time. Play against a European team such as Barcelona and you should do well. 

All-Madden coffin punt and clutch kicking in mini camp:
-------------------------------------------------------
Use the following trick to get gold on All-Madden coffin punt and clutch kicking. When you 
start, look at the kicking meter to see how fast the wind is blowing. At 10 to 15 mph, it 
is difficult to get a kick just right. Keep restarting until the winds are at 3 mph or 
lower. This makes it a lot easier to kick the ball to the red or yellow target. 

Easy money in owner mode:
-------------------------
While playing your franchise in owner mode, wait until you play any home game. While playing,
go to menu options and save your game. Immediately quit the game and completely exit out of 
franchise mode. Reload your franchise game, and repeat as many times as necessary. The trick 
works off your ticket sales for that game. For example, if you normally make $5 million a 
game, multiply that by the number of times you saved/quit/reloaded. If you do it ten times,
then you will make $50 million in ticket sales for that game. 
Note: If you save and do not quit, most likely your game will crash after a few plays.
