Hints: 

Madden Cards:-  There are three different value levels of the cards: Gold (4), Silver (2), and Bronze (1). The cards each serve one use, except for stadium cards, team cards, and historical players, which are always active. The other cards are for cheat codes and boosting player attributes. Gold Cards last for one half of a game. Sliver Cards last for one quarter. Bronze cards last for a single play. You earn Madden Cards by purchasing them with Madden Tokens. Madden Tokens are earned by accomplishing certain feats during game play. There are five levels of feats to accomplish, and you get more tokens for the higher difficulty level. To get Madden Cards you must make sure that Madden Cards are enabled, either on the profile select screen prior to the game, or on the options menu.

Collect all 296 cards and the 297th will be John Madden. The card's value is 2500 points. Sell the card and buy a new pack. You will receive a John Madden card again. Repeat this until you have as many points as you wish. 2500 points is worth 25 packs. John Madden unlocks the Madden Millennium Team, featuring Mike Ditka as tight end.

Extra Madden Tokens:-  By doing higher skill levels, you will multiply the number of tokens for a task by 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Task Levels Rookie Pro All Pro All Madden 
1 2 4 6 8 
2 3 6 9 12 
3 4 8 12 16 
4 5 10 15 20 
5 6 12 18 24 

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.

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.

For example, use Keyshawn John. He takes up a lot of cap room with a $7.00 million salary. To lower that and raise his ratings, go to the roster section at the main screen. Then go to "Edit Player" then go to their team and scroll down to the player. Press Right to highlight the "Speed" column. Press X and the editing rating sections will appear. Once you do one change to his ratings, his salary will be at what he is really worth and his ratings will be higher.

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 win coin toss:-  Press Start before anything appears on the coin toss screen.

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.

When onside kicking, always get the ball by moving the arrow all the way left and down. Your team will always recover it. By doing this you can keep the ball the entire game as long as you do not fumble or throw an interception or a safety.

When kicking, select the normal kickoff, which is X where everybody runs straight downfield. When the red arrow appears, hold Up until it stops, then press Right until it stops. Kick the ball full power and the spot you kick it to is played by a back-up offensive tackle. He will drop it (most of the time). Immediately after kicking the ball, press X to turn into the outermost man on the kickoff and hold down Circle until you reach the ball. You will pick it up and it is all yours. 

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. 

Block punts:-  Select "Punt Block", then move three men over to the left. starting with the first man to the right of the center until 
the end man is not lined up on the safety any more. If done correctly, the three men moved should be blocked on the left end, and the SS and the RB/FB should run in unblocked to stop the punter before he kicks the ball. Select the SS and run at the punter as fast as possible when the ball is snapped. Substitute a fast SS on defensive subs on the punt block play. 

Take your right end to the left and your safety to the right. The running back will pick up the safety and the end will block the punt.

Easy sacks:-  Move your right end to the left side between your left end and left D. Move your right DT in front of the center. Almost every time a pass is thrown, the end will break through and get a sack.

The following fairly easy trick works 99% of the time. At the play selection screen, scroll to the goal line plays. Select the category, then select Blitz B (no other blitz play will work). Wait for the snap keep pressing Down + Circle. 

Use the following trick to average about three to six sacks per game. Take your middle linebacker or your fastest DB and put them in the hole of DT and END. Make sure you are not on the line of scrimmage or the tackle and tight end will block you. Hold Circle and move to the quarterback. This usually only works on singleback or the shotgun plays.

Easy two-point conversion:-  After scoring a touchdown choose "Fake FG - Run" as your next play. After hiking the ball, run the receiver right and progressively upwards -- make sure you keep wide of the players on the opposing team. You should be able to make the two-point conversion every time.

The following trick works about 95% of the time. It will not work if your receiver does not catch the ball. Put your best receiver as Receiver 3 instead of Receiver 1. Make sure that the play calling screen is on the player's faces. Go to the Receiver 3 category, then go down until you find the Screen Pass. Once you snap the ball, press X to throw it quickly. Make sure you do not let your play go out of bounds. 

Knock down people on sidelines:-  At the start of a play, run towards one of the sidelines and go slightly out of bounds. When the play begins, run up and down the sideline. After the play has finished, go to "Instant Replay". Go to the appropriate sideline and watch the player you controlled. Sometimes you will knock over the coaches and the people carrying the fist down markers. 

Lambeau Leap:-  Play as the Green Bay Packers at home and run a touchdown. The players will eventually do the Lambeau Leap.

All-Madden difficulty setting:-  On the All-Madden difficulty, the CPU intercepts passes very easily. To avoid getting your passes tipped or picked off, throw short passes and pop passes (passes that are thrown almost suddenly after the ball is hiked). Long (Da Bomb) passes will only work occasionally, but will usually get picked off.
