Retro Game Cheats For
"Madden NFL 06"
(Xbox 360)

During the game

Once you become a key player to a team, you can upgrade to a much better agent. Then, after two seasons you can resign with almost any team you desire.

During the game

Make sure your father is a Hall of Fame RB. When you get drafted, try to get on a team like the 49ers or any team with a bad RB. With those teams you will excel. Also if you get in the playoffs, play the games with two minute quarters. They are quick and easy to win.

During the game

Create a punter or kicker with all his attributes at maximum, including passing. You can sign him for a low salary because he is a kicker. Then, set him as the starting quarterback on the depth charts when the season begins. You will now have the best kicker/punter and QB in the league. You may also maximize all passing attributes and move the kicking attributes down to sign him at an even lower price; however this is only recommended if you rarely kick.

During the game

While on offense, choose an offense with three receivers; Trip Bunch in Single Back formation works very well. Put the defense on the goal line with Zone CB cover. By doing this, no one will rush your QB, and once your receiver gets past the zone, they will be left unguarded in the endzone for an easy 48 points per play almost all of the time. This should work with most short zone coverages and does not take many attempts to learn which receiver to pick, mostly anyone running a long slant.

During the game

Use the following trick to get a great team without a high salary cost. Start a new franchise and pick a team. Do a fantasy draft and pick all the worst players. Then, release all of them and make your team from scratch, through Create-A-Player mode. Once done with the height, faces, etc., do not change the attributes. Save the player and sign him. Once you sign him, go back to Create-A-Player and select his name and change all his attributes to the maximum. Repeat this until you have a team with full attributes. The reason that all the worst players were selected is to keep you from having a high cap penalty during the next season. Note: This will take a few hours to complete.

During the game

To max out your stats, during the week of a game when you are on a game day, select the game. You will get the option to play or sim the game. Go back, then go to the Performance Institute. Go to whatever drill you can. Keep repeating this process until you have the desired attributes. Note: This will decrease your stamina. The best option is to turn game fatigue off. Note: Stats do not completely carry over to the next week, and if you simulate your games your performance will be affected by the weakened stamina. Turning off game fatigue only works if you actually play the games.

You can increase your Overall, Awareness, and Stamina in Practice mode by having your superstar get practice points by getting a big gain on offense or creating a big loss on defense. You also can get your stats up by getting an agent that has access to the Performance Institute and get a medal on it:

Bronze: 3 points
Silver: 4 points
Gold: 5 points

Note: Your stats are not permanent. They will be reset after each game. You must do the practices and Performance Institute again to get them back up.

During the game

If there is a player you want to injure, go to "Features", then to "Rosters". Select his team, then choose the player and go to "Attributes". Reduce his injury to "0". This may take awhile; you may also want to set the game to four or five minute quarters.

During the game

Make sure to choose your answers to interview questions wisely. The answers will affect your personality type and most endorsement companies want a player with a more conservative personality type, such as "Team Leader" or "Professional". Also, when starting NFL Superstar mode try to select a father that is a Hall Of Famer and a mother or father that has a high IQ.

When choosing your parents, look for Olympic sprinters or a Hall Of Fame DB dad (it will say that he ran a 4.2 for scouts). Do not worry about being too weak for the position, just make your player very muscular. Your DE or LB player will be very quick and you will destroy offenses.
