Player's
names: The players in the game are modeled after real players, and the
programmers included most of their names. To hear the announcers call your
players' names instead of their number, simply change their names in the
options menu. Select "Roster" and then "Edit player
information". Collegiate rosters can usually be found on a school's web
site or go through a search engine -- enter the school name and
"football" (for example, Penn State Football). Note: Not all of
the names will be recognized, but enough to add some personality to the
game.
Touchdown
celebrations: Hold one of the following buttons immediately before scoring a
touchdown at the risk of an unsportsman-like conduct penalty.
Point upwards: Press L1
or R1.
Hold up football: Press R2.
Shake football: Press L2.
Flip: To do a flip, press Square when a player is lying down.
Highstep
into the endzone: Break away on a touchdown run or pass, with at least 10 yards
between you and the nearest defensive player. Press Triangle to
highstep into the endzone.
Maximum
player status: Select "Rosters" in the options menu, then "Edit
Player" Select their ratings icon and you can change every column up to
99.
No
band music: Press Start when the band starts playing to stop the music
without disabling the other crowd sounds.
More
timeouts: Press Start during game play and switch to the CPU's
controller and use their timeouts.
Custom
name announcement: Go to options, select "Roster" and select "Create
A Player". Put your own name in as the player's name and it will be
called out by the announcers if it is common.
Hint:
Easy sacks: Select the fastest person on defense then hold Circle + R2
+ L1. Release and he should do a spin move to get buy the offensive
lineman.
Before or during a game, go to
the penalty options in the options menu and turn off offsides, encroachment,
and false start. When on defense, go past the line of scrimmage before the
ball is snapped and no penalties will be called against you. Note: There
will be slight fatigue that the CPU will just move to the line of scrimmage
after the ball is snapped. Just move the Analog-stick to regain
control.
For easy sacks with a
linebacker, do a dime defense if there is no tight end. Move in between the
right tackle and right guard. No moves are required.
Hint:
Get the ball back easily: Select "On-Side Kick" on the play screen. Then, press Start.
Go to "Settings" and turn penalties off. Next, resume game play
and get the arrow as far back as it can go and turn it to your side. Do not
press X two times. Press X once and select one of your players
that are closest to the ball. You should get the ball back. This works about
98% of the time.
Hint:
Control QB ball speed: Hold the button configured to throw to a receiver to make a hard
line drive pass, or tap the button for a lav pass.
