Cheap 99 Ranked Players

Go to the edit player screen, highlight "Speed" and press X(2). Rank all of your players as low as they can be. That way their salary will be around $350,000, depending on position. Then highlight whatever category you want to edit and press X, but do not press X a second time. After you raise the stats to 99, press Triangle to exit that category. Then, move to a new category and do it again. If you hit X a second time, your player's salary will jump back up. You should raise the "Stamina", "Toughness", and "Injury" categories to 99 when you are in the screen where you lower the salary. Otherwise, your players will only be able to be in one play before being substituted, or will get bad injuries with almost every play. If everything works out, you should have about $45 million dollars remaining with a full 55 person roster. Although this does take some time, it is worth it.

Unlimited Creation Points

Create a player, then go to "Edit Player" at the roster screen. Press Up or Down to choose the player you want to edit. Press Right to get to the speed category. Press X, then press X again.

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.

Getting Madden Cards Easily

You can get all the cards without playing more than two or three games. Make two user accounts; one you plan on keeping and another to just use. Play one or two games with each created account giving them at least 100 Madden points each. Save each one and reset the PlayStation2. When you restart, open your Madden Cards screen, and buy at least a pack of cards for each account. Trade all the cards you want from your dummy account to your permanent account. Exit and the game will prompt you to save what you have done. Answer "OK", and the save screen will appear. Only save the permanent account. Reset the PlayStation2, buy a pack with the dummy account and trade again. Once again, only save the permanent account with the cards. Reset the PlayStation2 and repeat as many times as needed. You should get at least 14 cards each time, and you will be forced to leave one with the dummy account. Only leave Bronze cards, as these will not stay in the dummy account and will be lost.

Always Get The Onside Kick During Kickoff

Turn off the penalty for kicks not over 10 yards. Hold Left and continuously press X. Your players will recover the ball, because it will only travel about 6 yards with your opponent nowhere near.

Always Win Coin Toss

Press Start before anything appears on the coin toss screen.

Control Title Screen

Press Circle at the title screen to change the player picture. Repeat this to view pictures of players from all thirty one teams.

Challenging A Play

You cannot challenge a play on your own. On very rare occasions you will be asked after a play if you would like to challenge a questionable call. It is usually due to a player running out of bounds.
