Different free agents
In Franchise mode off-season, after you re-sign your players save the game. Enter Free Agent mode. If you do not like the free agents available (for example, if you need a top wide receiver and there are none), reload the game until you like the players that are available. You can also do this to make your division easier. For example, if you are the Jets and Randy Moss goes from the Patriots to the Rams then you do not have to worry about facing a player like that twice a season.
Easy "Midway Monster" achievement
Go to "Create A Superstar". Enter Bones as a case-sensitive first name and Jackson as a case-sensitive last name. Save the character to unlock the achievement.
Easy touchdowns
To score easily, get a spread set with two receivers on one side. Then, do a hot route on the inside receiver and press the Right Analog-stick in the opposite direction of the quarterback, making an outer slant. This should help you score or get a lot of yards.
Getting first round draft pick
When in Franchise mode and after all Week 17 games have been played (including your own), trade all of your draft picks to the worst team in the NFL. When you have traded all of them you will have the first pick of every round instead of whatever you have. Note: This only works if you have turned the trade deadline off before starting your franchise.
Placing Brett Farve on the Jets
Go to "My Madden", then to "Rosters". Go to "Player Management" then to "NFL Greats". Find Brett Farve and release him. Then, go to "Free Agents" and sign him to the Jets or any team of your choice.
Re-signing players for less
Use the following trick to re-sign players for less in Franchise mode off-season. When you go to re-sign players, go to your "Player Management" screen first. Change the player that you want to re-sign to another position, such as a kicker or punter (the worst overall possible). Go back to re-sign that player for a lot less. Note: You cannot save the change unless you have enough players at that position after you change the player's position. For example, to change a cornerback to a kicker you must have four other cornerbacks remaining.
Select any player in Superstar mode
Go to "My Madden" then to "Rosters". Go to "Player Management" and go to "NFL Greats". Release whoever desired. Then, go to "Free Agents" and put the desired player on a team. When you start Superstar mode, go to play as a rookie and find your player. If you selected a great, he should be close to the top. This also works if you create a player. When you create a player and put him on a team, he is a rookie. When you go to Superstar mode he should also be there.
Supper star at 99 overal
When creating a superstar name him Jon madden this will make him 99 overal it doesn't matter how good you do in the drills or anything. And he can be at any position!
Training
You can make depth chart changes to help you when training players. For example, if you are training someone on defense, such as a linebacker, go to the depth chart and substitute the running back for someone with a lower rating. This will make things easier when you do the lineman challenge. You can use this trick to help train almost any position.
