During the game

Be a defensive lineman and back up a few feet. When the play starts, immediately run forward and Hitsick an offensive lineman. He will fall down and your player will still be running fast towards the quarterback to sack him.

During the game

Play as the Eagles against the Ravens and score a touchdown with T.O. by diving in the endzone. He will do a Ray Lewis dance in the endzone as a celebration. If you are playing as either Donovan McNabb or Daunte Culpepper and you get tackled going into the endzone and scoring a touchdown, they will do their trademark dances. Daunte will "get his roll on" and Donovan will do the moonwalk.

During the game

If you have a player whose personality rating is "Disruption", select Jason Morales as your agent. He can usually get you a movie deal before the first season starts. Stay away from Aubrey DeLong, as he is not a good negotiator and it takes forever to get an endorsement deal.

During the game

Create a QB, then go into a Practice mode and select a HB Swing. Have the defense do FG Block. When you say hike, lob the pass to your RB and he will score a touchdown for 48 points every time. Additionally, pick a formation with at least three receivers. Then, select a play that has an inside receiver doing a slant or short post. Pick the defense 4-3 Engage Eight or 3-4 renegade. Throw the ball to your slanting receiver every time, as they will be wide open and get tackled for 17 to 48 points per play.

Choose a deep pass play on offense. Choose I Field Goal Block on the defense. You should be able to get a touchdown most of the time.

Go to the options screen, select "A.I.", then move all of the human settings up and the CPU down. It should now be easier to pickoff, sack, and throw Hail Marys to your receiver without problems. If you want more points, set the time to five minutes.

To get easy training camp and practice points for offensive players only, select the Hail Mary for an offense play. For defense, select Goaline and the Blitz C. Call a Hot Route to have your left outside receiver run a 5 and out towards the sideline. The left slot receiver will be open every time to get a touchdown. When completed successfully you will get an "A" for a practice grade and boost your player's stats.

Use the following trick for easy practice points with a defensive superstar. Select a field goal or punt block play on defense and I-Formation Fake FB Toss on offense. Not only is this an easy play to stop, but if you are quick enough you can knockdown the toss from the QB to the HB causing a fumble. Returning a fumble for a TD earns over 80 points. Select any defensive play and select Special Teams QB Kneel on offense. The QB will kneel and earn you 15 points on every play. You can setup the practice and just let it run. You will have an "A" rated practice and a huge boost whenever you decide to stop it, and none of your players will get hurt.

During the game

After creating a player and signing an agent, go to the draft and start the draft. You will probably be selected in the third round unless you imported your player from NCAA Football 06 or NFL Street 2. If you do not like the team you got drafted by, then simulate the preseason. When the preseason is over go to your agent's office on the city map. Scroll down to "I demand a trade" and you will be traded to another team. If you dislike that team as well, then demand another trade. Be careful, as you can only demand two trades until the next season.

During the game

Save the game before the draft. If you do not like the team that drafted you, reload your saved game and try it over again until you are drafted by a desired team.

During the game

The Performance Institute is only a temporary thing. However, the following trick can help you player achieve higher levels without sacrifice over the course of his career. First, during Spring Training wait until Sunday to use the Performance Institute. On Sunday, do the Performance Institute drills. Once the season starts you will stay at the increase until Sunday, the day of the game. Before you start the game, do the Performance Institute drill as you did in Spring Training. Play the game on Sunday. Once the game is over go to Monday; do not advance to the next day. Stay on Monday. Since there is a game to be played which will not be your team, go to the Performance Institute. The drill should be available for you to do, based on your position. Note: These points (from Monday) are permanent, as long as you continue to do the same process week in and week out. The only catch is you must use them one attribute at a time until it is maxed and it must be the same drill you did on Sunday. For example, if you increased Speed on Sunday, you must dump all the points into Speed on Monday. If you dumped all the points on Sunday into Agility, then on Monday's drill you have to dump them all into Agility, etc. Over the course of the season you will see your stats lose the points from Sunday,as those are the temporary points. However, they still show the other points from Monday. These are cumulative points, but you must space it out to get exactly 99. If you get to 93 and the max points you can earn in the drill is 7, you will not end on 99. It would be 100, but since you cannot use all the points, those 7 from Monday will be lost. Earlier in the season you will have to place a set of points to help making the last attribute addition become 99. This rule applies for each category you want to increase.

During the game

Since the punt blockers do not block very much, it is better if you select the "Punt Block" formation instead of any other punt return formation. With the "Punt Block" formation, the punting team will not be spread out, therefore allowing your blockers to somewhat block for you; which in turn will give you more time to field the ball and have a little space to start something big.

During the game

The agents you get are based on the talent of your player. For example, if your player's overall rating is at least 84, you will get Dan Baker as an agent. When importing players, that RBs get better overall ratings, no matter how many Heismans or any other awards they have won. Your superstar's overall rating is based on your Heisman over ratings, that is then randomly altered slightly each time you import. When importing from NCAA Football 06, player's stats are randomly done. You can retry for better stats. The interview after the mentor meeting determines some stat boosts to important stats for your player's position.
