Break Records
Select Exhibition or Season Mode, then pick any team. On the User Records screen, move the cursor under "none" and press C, then enter a name using the d-pad. When you're finished, press C again.Change Camera in Replay
When you are watching an instant replay press the right and left shift buttons for alternate camera angles.Create Player Tip
After you give a player his name, height, weight, etc. and you go to the attributes screen the points number usually isn't enough to make a good player. To remedy this, cancel from that screen, go to the position and move it one space right or left, then move it back and press C. This can be repeated until you get a satisfactory number of points.Easy First Downs and Yardage
To gain a first down or more yards every time go with shotgun, hike the ball and and bootleg short to the left and strait up, you'll loose the defense every time. If you get a few blockers you can turn any down into a touchdown.More Secret Teams
At the screen where you choose teams, press x+y simultaneously. This randomly chooses teams. Keep on pressing these two buttons until a special team comes up such as Tiburon, All time 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, All time(which is the best from all years from all teams) and The EA Sports team which is rated 100 in all fields.Playing Tip #1
David Hesse brings us a play that is practically unstoppable against the computer. Pick the Far formation, then pick the Normal set, and finally select Weak Flood. Hit C to hike the ball, then drop back and hit C again to get your receiver selection. Finally, hit C again to throw it to the right wide receiver. He will make the catch virtually every time. If he is tackled where he catches the ball, it's about a seven yard gain but usually you can gain a lot more yardage by running to the right and then upward after catching the ball.Playing Tip #2
For a sure first down every time choose Shotgun Formation, then choose normal then the play double flags. Pass it to the C receiver and run up the right side line after the catch. when the group of defense men catch up to you run backwards around them and let your team block them. Then your home free for about 45-55 yards.Secret Teams
After starting a game, enter Tiburon as a user/player name to gain access to all the secret teams. After entering Tiburon's name, press B repeatedly until you return to the Team Select screen.Sure Fire Long-distance Play
Pick Pro formation, WR Quick out, and then roll to your right with the QB and act like you are going to run the ball. More often than not, the Defenseman will pull off the receiver to the right and you can throw a 30 to 40 yard pass!View FMV's
