Hint:
Earning campus challenge credits and running up your score/stats:
Create your own juggernaut school/team. Edit the roster so your team is
filled with studs. Enter season mode with your team and under the preseason
options, schedule as many 1-AA teams as possible. Set your playing time for
15 minutes and enjoy the ride. If you have the unlimited time-out cheat, you
can use it here and stop the clock after any play finishes in-bounds. This
will give you more time to compile stats. Note: Doing this may increase your
game time to over 90 minutes (and possibly 120) of "real-time". If
you are going to use the time-out cheat, take a 15-minute break when you hit
the half time point of your game. Also, note that campus challenge points
are awarded based on your level of play. Heisman is the hardest level, but
you also get increased value on your campus challenge credits.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
All out team:
Go to the rosters and select any created or a regular team. Select the
players. This will give you a list of selections. Select ratings, and from
there you can pump up your player. You can also select the appearance and
make him tall and big. It may take awhile, but you could pump up your entire
team. This requires patience. Choose practice mode to try the team.
Hint:
Cause fumble on kickoffs:
To to make your opponent fumble the ball on kickoffs, keep kicking to the
same player. Eventually he will fatigue and start fumbling the ball in the
third and fourth quarters. You can also kick to the other side of the field
and try to surprise the other receiver. If you catch him off guard, he will
sometimes fumble.
Hint:
Get ball on kickoff:
Use the following trick to get you the ball 95% of the time on kickoff. Set
the game to easy play with penalties off, then choose the onside kick. Move
the kick off arrow all the way left and down. You will hardly kick the ball
-- only get the power to the end of the yellow line (it is acceptable if it
goes slightly past), then hit the button again and try to get it in the
yellow.
When playing a human player,
call for Kickoff Left/Right then, which ever you choose, set to kick the
ball in that direction. However, make it go as far up as possible. After the
ball is kicked your team will run to where the ball will land. If you play
the CPU, they will almost always call for a fair catch. The ball does not
have to touch anyone on the return team. You can run up and catch it (if the
kick is powerful enough).
Hint:
Kickoff inside ten:
Make sure that your kicker can at least make it to the endzone on kickoff.
Then, go to the settings section and change all the penalties to off. When
you kick it off, kick the ball at maximum power, let the bar go, and press
it again. You should kick it to the left of the endzone out of bounds inside
the ten yard line. Where it goes out of bounds at is the location where the
other team will start at.
Use the following trick to get
the kick returner inside the ten yard line. Select "Onside Kick".
Point it all the way up and to the right. Stop the meter at the top and then
in the yellow. The ball will go over the returner's head and stop at about
the 5 yard line. He will run a sort distance then get tackled immediately.
Hint:
Easy receiving:
If you throw the ball to one of your receivers repeatedly, the defense will
start double teaming that player, making it nearly impossible to throw to
him. When they start playing extra defense on him, go to the depth chart and
switch him to a different receiving position. For example, if he was the
first string, put him at second; if he was second string, put him at first.
He will still be in the plays, but on the other side of the field with one
single man coverage, so you can keep running up the score. Repeat this again
if they start the coverage.
Choosing "All Right"
in the Ace-Y-Twins package twice in a row can be helpful. The first time,
throw to your wide receiver. The next time, throw to the running back. He
will usually be open for a gain of five or more yards.
Hint:
Easy plays:
Go to "Settings", then go down to "AI Settings". Put it
on "CPU" and set their offense and defense all the way down. Then,
switch it to "Human" and put your offense and defense all the way
up. This should make plays very easy.
Hint:
Get the ball possession back:
Enter the game settings screen and turn penalties off. Play a game. When you
kick off to the other team, do an onside kick. When you kick it, quickly
jump on the ball. Note: This may take some practice.
Hint:
Easy pennants:
Create numerous profiles and get your five pennants at the beginning. Then,
risk your pennants against the other controller. Set the game to overtime
and no wind, and kick a FG with the profile you want to win the pennants.
When the other team gets the ball, punt and its all over.
Hint:
Pump up or silence crowd:
Click the Left Analog-stick to pump up or silence the crowd.
Hint:
Announce names instead of numbers:
If you would like to hear the announcers call out your teams names rather
than their numbers, all you have to do is put their roster in. Go to the
options screen, go to "Edit Rosters" and insert the names under
"Player Info". After you insert them, play a game and your team's
names will be announced.
Hint:
Other announced team names:
The following NCAA I-AA team names will be recognized and announced by both
the press box announcer and TV commentator if placed in the
"Nickname" slot in the create a school option:
The following non-NCAA I-AA
names will also be recognized and announced by both the press box announcer
and TV commentator if placed in the "Nickname" slot in the create
a school option:
Greyhounds
Hint:
Easy season mode: During season mode, change your schedule to play the number one
ranked team, then the number two ranked team, then the number three ranked
team. If you cannot defeat them during game play, switch over to their team
and intentionally make mistakes and cause safeties for the other team. Allow
your original team to score touchdowns and to win the game. You can go
undefeated through the season.
Hint:
Easy rival trophies: Go to the settings menu and turn the length of the quarters to
one minute. On average for most teams, it takes more than one minute to
drive down the field. If you get the ball first, go ahead and score. Just
hold the team you are playing. If you do not get the ball first, hold your
opponent or let them score. Then when you score, go for two. The simple iso
in goalline always works. Since the game will take no more than ten minutes,
you can get several trophies in an hour.
Go to the settings menu and set
it to overtime. Just stop the other team, win in overtime, and you will get
the trophy.
Change the game clock to one
minute. Set the game on easy play. Kick an onside kick, put the arrow to the
ground and to your side, kick as weak as possible, then recover. Do this
after drives so you never have to play defense.
An easy way to win trophies is
to set the game on overtime and junior varsity. All you have to do is hold
the opposing team and score a field goal or touchdown and you will win the
trophy. Save your profile to keep the trophy in your showcase.
Hint:
Easy trophies in Dynasty: Create twelve teams. Make all of them juggernauts and increase
all of their players' stats very high. After you have made all of the teams,
go to dynasty mode and sign on the twelve teams you created. Then, if
desired, change all of their schedules so that they play all the top ranking
teams. Your created juggernaut teams will rarely lose. Simulate the entire
season. For better measures, put all of the teams in a different conference
so that at the end of the season you will get all conferences, most of the
bowl games, the Heisman trophy, and all the individual trophies. You will
not always get all trophies, as the season stats and games will vary each
year, but you will defiantly get the bulk of them.
Hint:
Get created players during Dynasty: At the end of every season in Dynasty, just after the last bowl
game, save the game. Then, go to create a prospect. Make your prospect as
desired, then save the game again. Then, go into players leaving. Note: You
can skip this option if desired. Go to scouting. Go directly to the 100 blue
chips in the country list, and see if your prospect made your team his first
option. If not, back out all the way to the beginning, load the game, and
try again. You will usually get three to four different outcomes. Keep doing
this throughout the week you advance and you are still one or two on his
list. Make sure you save the game -- sometimes they will pick the last
person on their list, or if your team is already stacked, they will go to
your rival with the weakest link in their position.
Hint:
Use player during redshirt year: You can use a player during a redshirt year, thereby getting an
extra year out of them. During the pre-season (after finishing recruiting,
training, etc., but before playing the first game) you should have the
option "Preseason Options". If not, you have already started the
season. Go to the depth chart and take the player you are going to redshirt
and move him to a non-starting position. Then, go to formation subs and put
the player back at his position in every formation. Now redshirt him. The
game will tell you that he has been removed form the depth chart. Start a
game in the season. He should be in every formation you subbed him into.
