Hint:
Touchdown celebrations: When you score a TD, the word "Touchdown" appears. When
it first appears, press the following button combinations. Note: This could
also get you an 15 yard Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty.
L + X: Player
spikes the ball, points to the crowd, then beats his chest. L + Y: Player bows to the crowd. L + B: Player spikes the ball, then shrugs his shoulder. L + A: Player does Heisman Trophy pose. R + X: Player will dunk on the Goal Post. R + Y: Player will punch the ball towards the crowd. R + B: Player will kick the ball into the crowd. R + A: Player will throw the ball to the crowd.
Hint:
Running styles:
When an offensive player is running with the ball, and no other defender is
around and inside their 20, hold L or R to run in a fancy way.
Note: This may also work for defensive players. It may cause the player to
juke and slows the player's running.
Hint:
Extra campus challenge points:
Play several games at the Heisman level, however alter the AI settings in
the settings menu before playing. Set the CPU levels at their lowest, and
the Human levels at their highest. This will force the CPU to make a lot
more mistakes and you to allocate challenge points, which can be used to
purchase pennants and unlock other secrets within the game. The play level
is still very difficult, but with your added AI, you should be able to be
successful.
Hint:
CPU control:
Snap the ball. Do not press anything else. The CPU will sense that you are
not playing and will play for you. They will almost get a touchdown or a
very good pass or run. If you press anything after the snap, you will have
to play. This works best on pass plays, and only works on offense.
Hint:
Easy sacks:
You can get an easy sack by doing a linebacker, line and coverage audible
and press Down. When the ball is snapped, rush the QB. He will throw
a bad pass or get sacked.
Press Start, go to
"Setting", then choose "Penalty Settings". Turn off
offsides. Before the ball is snapped, hold Down. You will begin to
run and have a head start on the offense. This works best in 5-2.
When playing on defense and you
are having trouble putting pressure on the quarterback, select the Nickel
Defense, down arrow once and choose the center play (A) for the
Cornerback Blitz. It is also very effective at stopping toss plays and full
back dives. If you pay attention to the offensive line, you can usually
alter your coverage audible to close coverage, which helps stop the run as
well.
Choose the 3-4 formation and
select Fire 2 defense. You will always have pressure on the QB.
Hint:
Easy first down:
Choose a Hail Mary and when everyone is far out, press Y and just run
it.
Hint:
Easy two point conversion:
Once you score a touchdown, go to goal line then rollout. When you line up
make, sure your wingback is on the right. Snap the ball, then rollout right.
Your quarterback now has the option of throwing (to the tight end
recommended), or running it in.
Hint:
Easy punt blocks:
To block punts, its easier to turn the offsides penalty off to get a head
start on the offensive line. Choose a corner or a running back (someone that
is fast enough and tall enough) and do one of the two; blitz the kicker and
tackle him, which takes yardage off your opponent's rushing yards in the
game, or press Y to jump and block the kick. This is not a play that
works all of the time. However it usually works in the punt return play, and
not the punt block play. Also, it never hurts to use a little play action
once every series or so.
Hint:
Longer punts:
Choose to punt out of bounds left or right. The defense will not go into
punt coverage. Simply move the arrow to the middle of the field and just
boom it. If a returner does get back in time to field it, he will muff it
most of the time. This works great for making sure the opposing team has a
long field to work with, as well as getting your Punter All-American status.
When you line up to punt the
ball away, point the arrow straight down. If timed correctly, you will punt
the ball at least 70 yards almost every time.
Hint:
Quicker tackle: When you are defending a receiver and they make a catch, press Y,
You can use that as quicker tackle, as well as intercept passes.
Hint:
Kickoff: When kicking off, choose "Kickoff Left" or
"Kickoff Right", whichever way the wind is blowing. The CPU will
almost always pick "Return Middle". When you kick the ball, the
return man will be alone and your coverage can nail him around the 15 yard
line. Be careful not to kick the ball out of bounds.
Hint:
Big plays: When you get a QB crossed over the line by having a profile to
get, you can cross the line of scrimmage and still throw the football.
Hint:
Winning College Classics: To win all of the College Classics, play one of them. Go to the
AI settings and change the CPU's settings to all negatives and yours to all
positive.
Hint:
Easy trophies in Dynasty: 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:
Recommended defensive plays: Play as Oklahoma and go to the 4-4 Defense. Call Mad Dog Blitz
and no play can get past it.
Hint:
Identifying man-to-man coverage: When on offense, set a person in motion. If he is followed, the
defense is using man-to-man coverage.
Send a man in motion. If
someone follows them, they are using man coverage. If nobody follows, then
they are using zone coverage.
Hint:
Cornerback commentary: If you go to the rosters, you can edit a player's ranking skills.
Set catching, carrying, and speed as high as possible for a cornerback and
you can make him an effective wide receiver for your team. However, if he
drops a pass Lee Corso will say " He's better at deflecting passes than
catching them!" Note: Corso only says this if he was not already set as
a receiver. The message usually is heard with a created cornerback put into
the WR position.
Hint:
Crowd chant: If you are playing at home and score a high amount of points and
dominate the other team, each time you make another big play the crowd will
start chanting "We are number one". Note: You also may need to be
ranked number one.
Play against a Top-10 team. If
you are winning late in the fourth quarter, the crowd will start chanting
"Overated".
During home games, if you
happen to get the ball spotted a few short yards within the first down
marker on fourth down, the crowd will chant "Go, go, go, go..."
They will either cheer or boo depending on if you do or do not go for it
(respectively). If you fake the punt or kick though, somehow the crowd will
know it and cheer for you.
Hint:
Easy trophies in Dynasty: This trick requires a decent amount of free space on your memory
card to 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:
Score contradiction: This is easier with a very good team such as OSU or OU playing
against a team such as Harvard or Yale. If you score 100 points in one game,
the scoreboard will read 0 in the stadium, but the small one in the corner
will read 100.
Glitch:
Floating helmet: Occasionally during game play, a tackler will make such a hard
and crushing hit on the ball carrier that the ball carrier will lose his
helmet. Look at the player's helmet when it is lying on the field, either in
the post-play animation or in instant replay. The helmet seems to hover
slightly above the field, and does not have a face mask or straps.
Glitch:
Easy pennants: This trick requires two controllers, many profiles, a lot of
time, and some patience. Make a profile that you want to keep. Then, make a
number of random profiles. The names are not important, as these profiles
will be deleted later. Each new profile starts with 125 points. Buy five
pennants with these points. Note: All you can afford with the starting
points is five pennants. Do this with every profile that you created. Then,
go to the options menu and change the game time to overtime, as this results
in a very quick game. Go to "Play Now" and choose any desired
team. Make player one the profile you wish to use throughout the game (the
one you wish to keep), and have player two use one of the other profiles.
Wager pennants, and make player two wager three pennants that you want; and
player one wagering no pennants. Begin the game. Select any choice for the
coin toss. Make sure that player two is on offense and player one is on
defense. Select any plays desired for both teams. When player two snaps the
ball, make the player with the ball run all the way back to the defense's
endzone. The defense will get a safety, resulting in the end of the game.
Repeat the process with the other profiles that you created. When all of the
profiles have lost pennants to your profile, delete them, and create more.
Repeat the pennant acquiring process , then repeat the in-game steps again.
In about four to five hours you should have about one third of all the
pennants in the game.
