Gameplay Hints
Superstar mode: Better agent Answer the interview questions as a team player. Then when you hire an agent, more of them will want to sign with you.
Recommended defense Try blitzing on first and second downs but not
on the third down. Your opponent may be used to rushing his throws and throw the ball right into your coverage.
If you choose a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense against any team, select a play in which you blitz all your linebackers and have your defensive backs cover the receivers. This works about 90% of the time. You will average at least five sacks per game.
This works best when playing against the CPU and works well in two player mode. Use a 4-3 defense and use engage eight. Make the safety that blitzes into yellow coverage and the linebacker to the left in yellow coverage too. Next, make the line come in and have the linebackers spread out. Put the MLB that is blitzing between the end and the tackle on the left side. Put the other line backer that is blitzing in between the other tackle and end. For some flare, pump up the crowd at the snap. It should be easy to predict if it is a pass or run because QB vision will appear if it is a pass. On third down it is most likely going to be pass; just predict pass
and they should be used to rushing their throws. You may be able to get an easy interception.
Use the following choices with a base 4-3 defense. This defense covers basically all holes that most defenses have and will normally prevent any long runs or long pass plays against you.
SS: Ed Reed (Reed is better at the SS position than FS) FS: Brain Dawkins (another great FS option is Sean Taylor if you want a younger player) CB1: Champ Bailey (another great CB1 option is Deangelo Hall if you want a younger player) CB2: Marcus Trufant MLB: Brian Urlacher LOLB: Shawne Merriman (he is the youngest and the highest rated player) ROLB: Lance Briggs (Joey Porter is another good choice but Lance Briggs is younger) DT1: Casey Hampton (great strength and run stopping ability) DT2: Tommie Harris (pass rushing and tackling ability) RE: Dwight Freeney (only disadvantage is his size but his skills match up to that of Julius Peppers) LE: Julius Peppers
Choosing the correct parents When starting Hall Of Fame mode, certain parents will give you large boosts in key stats. If you want a receiver that is very fast, look for a hall of fame WR father with the note "He was the Randy Moss of his time". You should end up with 95 or higher speed. If you want a fast quarterback, look for a Pro Bowl or Hall of Fame QB father with the note "He was the Michael Vick of his time". You will be insanely fast and have good throwing power. Note: Do not chose a father with the note "He was his era's Tom Brady." He will be extremely slow (55 or less speed) and not be able to outrun anyone.
Avoiding injuries When you think one of your players may be injured on offense, hurry the play up and they will get back up.
Recommended players The following is the ideal offensive team. QB: Peyton Manning RB: LaDainian Tomlinson WR: Chad Johnson WR: Steve Smith WR: Marvin Harrison OL: Ogden, Faneca, Sapp, Pace, Rivera TE: Dallas Clark
