Better lead blocking -
The trick to effective blocking is learning when to use the different
blocks. Impact Blocks (Right Analog-stick Up) are more effective if you
have a size advantage against the player you are blocking, while Cut
Blocks (Right Analog-stick Down) are more effective if the defender is
bigger than you. Turn Blocking (White and Black) works best for
offensive linemen when they are trying to create an interior hole for
the running back. If you get beat and you must resort to dirty tactics,
try Holding (L).
Better running -
When running the ball, the Highlight Stick is the best way to beat a
defender in the open field. Press Up on the Highlight Stick to cause the
ball carrier to play to their strengths and attempt to either power
through or quickly shake past the defender. Press Left, Right, or Down
on the Highlight Stick to make the ball carrier do a quick juke move in
the specified direction. These moves are great for keeping your opponent
guessing.
Cut Moves (L and R) are a quick way to change the direction of the ball
carrier without having to lose too much speed. If you are running in a
certain direction and the defense is closing in, cutting in a different
direction can be a good way to get past the defenders. These moves are
best done by quicker running backs with high agility ratings.
Easy Madden Tokens -
Use the following trick to get easy Madden Tokens in Two Minute Drill
mode. Go to the roster of the team you are going to use and raise their
stats so that their entire offensive line, fullback, and halfback are
very good. Then, decrease the speed and awareness for the defensive
players on the team you are going to play against. Next, go to Two
Minute Drill mode and set the difficulty to All-Madden. If you plan to
run against the defense, try a HB Toss to run on the outside. If you
pass, throw Hail Marys the entire time. Your receivers that are good
should beat the defensive backs, especially if you make them very tall
and skinny.
Lame Duck card -
Enter "5LAWO0" as a code to get the Lame Duck card. This card forces
your opponent to throw nothing but lob passes for one half, which allows
the defense more time to react to the ball, and leads to more
deflections and interceptions.
Mistake Free card -
Enter "XL7SP1" as a code to get the Mistake Free card. This card makes
it impossible for you to throw an interception or fumble the ball for
one half.
QB On Target card -
Enter "WROA0R" as a code to get the QB On Target card. This card makes
your Quarterback have 100% accuracy for one half.
When the running back has the ball in the backfield, you can use the Cut
Moves (L and R) to get through the holes in the offensive line. These
moves are called Behind the Line Jukes, and they can only be performed
when the ball carrier is approaching the offensive line. These moves
allow the ball carrier to turn his hips and squeeze through small holes
in the offensive line that normally he would not be able to get through. |
