Better catches
Added on
at
To do a better catch than the generic one, where the player throws his hands in the air at the last second and most of the time misses, simply press Catch a second or a half a second before you reach the target of the ball, or before the ball reaches the receiver. The player will do a better looking and more effective catch, such a one handed catch, a jump catch, a spin catch, an over the shoulder catch (good for lobs), or a better diving one if the ball is out of reach.

Easy sacks
Added on
at
When selecting a play on defense, go to 3-4 then press X. Go to the play where the three right-most linebackers are blitzing (press Down(3), Circle) then bring your left-most linebacker up. You will now have seven men blitzing for easier sacks. When you are do going to do a blitz, run up to the line of scrimmage then fade back until you are behind the ref. When the QB calls hike, use the boost. About 50% of the time you will run through a hole and sack the QB. Be careful -- sometimes he may fake you out and move. Select 3-4 OLB Blitz and control the middle linebacker. Move him over to the side and most of the time you will get a sack or a quick tackle.

Easy passes
Added on
at
When you are the QB, you can throw the ball two different ways: straight (hold the button of the receiver you want to throw it to) and up high (press and release the button for that receiver). When you throw it up high, the QB will throw the ball over the safety to your receiver. He will catch the ball most of the time. Throwing it straight is the most common way. He just throws it to the receiver and it will not go over the safety. It is best to use the straight pass if the WR is wide open.
