Mini-Camp Skill Levels:
-----------------------
Complete a challenge in Mini-Camp to open that same skill challenge on 
the higher difficulty setting.


Increased attendance:
---------------------
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.


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.


Cheerleader and Pump Up Crowd Cards:
------------------------------------
Successfully complete the "Game Situation" challenges in mini-camp mode. 
The Cheerleader or Pump Up Crowd Cards for the team used will be unlocked.


Faster player improvement:
--------------------------
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. 


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. 


Madden Cards and game cheats: 
-----------------------------
Get a gold rank in any event on the All Pro, Pro and Rookie levels in mini-camp 
mode.


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


Tips:
-----
Use your spin early when rushing to the left or right... this burns so many 
defenders. Use your hit-stick when on defense at all times. This will increase
the rate of fumbles you cause, you'll injure more opponents, and you can kill 
their stamina as well. Lead your receivers when you are quarterback and throw 
into them... be careful not to make errant throws that can be easy picks for 
defenders.


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.


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.


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.


Recommended players:
--------------------
To get a good team in the future you must get good rookies. 
Note: If you start them, they will get great very quickly. 
Some such players are as follows.

Larry Fitzgerald WR 
Eli Manning QB 
Sean Taylor FS 
Roy Williams WR 
Keniche Udeze DE 
Robert Gallery LT 
DeAngelo Hall CB 
Steven Jackson RB 
Bob Sanders FS 
Ben Roethlisbergr QB


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.
