Hint: Block field goals and punts:
This trick works especially well in a network game - but you can use it on your friends at home as well. It works best in a network game because your opponent will not see the "Select audible" box that appears when you press Y. Quickly and repeatedly press Y + B before the snap. This causes your players to dance around a bit (trying to line up for the audible that you are calling). At the snap your men can get past the offensive line very fast. Once past the line, press B to highlight the closest man, then press Y to block the ball.

When your opponent chooses to punt, go for a field goal, or for an extra point, quickly press Y + B repeatedly and your defense will block them.

Hint: Block field goals:
Line up to the right side of the offensive line. Immediately after the snap there should be a space between two players blocking on the right side. Press Y while arrowing towards the kicker a split-second after the ball is snapped. The game has a glitch that causes the defender to do super speed burst when you press Y while on defense. Instead of jumping, it often makes you sprint faster than the players should be able to. This will always work if you angle correctly.

Hint: Block punts:
When other team punting, line up on the left side of the screen just off the line of scrimmage. As soon as you see the arrow and the power go up, run and get the punter for an easy sack.

Hint: Block punt for a touchdown:
You must be on defense and at least five yards away from the line of scrimmage (blue line). You should also bee near your cornerback on the far outside toward the side line. When the kicking meter fills up, run go towards the kicker. Do not hit the kicker and do not jump to block the ball. Just run straight across his leg. Get close to him when you run, but do not hit him. If done correctly, the ball should hit your man then fly forward in front of you. Your man should automatically pick up the ball. Run it for a touchdown.

Hint: Stopping a big defensive rush or blitz:
Pressing the R button before the ball is snapped will show where your receivers are. However, use this trick that may get your opponent to jump offsides. Quickly tap R to zoom out and in very fast, making it seem like you snapped the ball. The defense will either get an encroachment or offsides penalty. If they do not encroach (hit one of your players) snap when they are over the line to call them for offsides.

Hint: Easy sacks:
Place your line backer about two yards outside of the last offensive lineman. When the offensive linemen get set, press X. Your line backer will pump his arms up and down. At the same time, repeatedly tap A and hold the Analog-stick towards the quarterback. When the quarterback calls "hike", your man will fire off the ball and you will be in the quarterback's face in no time. Note: You can hold A and charge up your energy then jump at him from a few yards away.

When on defense, if one or more of your linebackers are blitzing and you are playing the CPU, bring your left tackle outside past the left offensive tackle. The linebackers will start to run in just before the ball is snapped. Start to run as the linebacker approaches the line of scrimmage. This will give you a jump on the offensive lineman, result in a better chance of a sack.

When you are on defense, get your fastest linebacker, go up to the line, and move next to your linemen (be careful not to be on or over it). Use the crowd pump up (X) and while he is waving his arms in the air, hold Down and tap A for a speed burst. When the quarterback hikes the ball, he will instantly move in and you can sack him. Make sure you leave enough time for the quarterback to hike or it will be offsides.

Hint: Opponent never get yards:
Press Start during game play, go to options, then select "Penalties" and turn every thing off. Return to game, get right in front of the QB and when he hikes the ball press X.

Hint: Passing the ball:
Every team has a trick play that you can use repeatedly against the CPU, no matter what the skill level. For example, play as the Denver Broncos and when you are going to choose a play go to "I Twins". Pick the exact middle play that resembles a post pattern. When you hike the ball pass it to "Ed Macaffery" (should be X). The pass play is a ten yard gain or more every time.

Hint: Longer kick offs:
Anytime you kick off the ball, press A + B just as soon you release B from selecting the type of kick you will use. If done correctly, the kick will go all the way to the end zone.

Hint: Faster kick returns:
If you want to make your kick return runner to go faster, step back from the target and speed burst forward to the ball when its coming down. You will have a faster runner, better momentum, and get farther.

Hint: Easier runbacks on kick returns:
When you get the ball on a kick or punt return, swerve form left to right and you will probably fake out the defenders (especially the big linemen). Then, as you get downfield and the last DB before the kicker approaches, spin right as you get about one yard away from the defender. When you reach the kicker just run past him -- he is very slow. There you go; you just took the ball back on the kick return. Note: This works easier under the rookie difficulty setting, but can also be done on the pro and all-pro settings.

Hint: Pin opponent on the 1 yard line on a kick off:
When kicking off, move the arrow to the left so the it is on the far left of the team logo on the 50 yard line (on most logos). Vertical-wise, put it in the middle, and kick it a little less than full power. If done correctly, the ball will land near the endzone pylon, the receiver will catch it on a run, and the momentum will force him to run out of bounds at the 1 or 2 yard line.

Hint: Magical spin:
This trick can help gain an extra five to ten yards, or even a touchdown. When you have the ball, give it to a wide out or your running back. When a defender gets close, spin. If done correctly, the defender will bounce off, especially if he dived. This does not work well in a crowd -- it is most effective in two on one situations. It also does not work if the defender makes a tackle by running into you, rather then diving. This helpswhen breaking away and the defender does a last ditch effort at full power-diving at you. You can bounce them off very quickly, and go in for the score.

Hint: Get through offense:
When on defense, repeatedly tap A to go straight through the offensive lineman.

Hint: Field goal/extra point touchdowns:
When you are on offense, go to "Special" and select "Field Goal". When you are at the point of aiming, aim at the end of your linemen. Kick it as hard as possible. If the ball hits your linemen, you can pick it up and run for the two point conversion or the touchdown. Note: This is easier if you try to hit the side of the line that your directional arrow is pulling towards.

Hint: Field goal defense:
When on defense, select a Field Goal Block defense. This will rush the QB so he will make a bad pass or an interception, get sacked, or force a fumble.

Hint: Old jerseys:
Note: The following trick only will work with real and not created teams. Select exhibition mode, then press Up while the cursor is on the team. If done correctly, the jerseys will switch to an older version. Try this with the Tennessee Titans to play as the Houston Oilers.

Hint: Old jerseys and playbooks:
When selecting a team, highlight either the "Home Options" or "Visitor Options" and select between the "old" jerseys or the new jerseys as well as your play book, which includes the old playbook from NFL2K.

Hint: Old helmets:
Win the season on the "All Pro" difficulty setting with any team with an undefeated record to unlock leather helmets.

Hint: Create 24 players or more:
Create a new team of your choice, then enter the "Create Player" option. After creating a player, assign him to your new team. Once your new player is assigned, return to where you previously created your new player (create player file only) and delete him from the menu. You will notice that your player is still assigned to your created team. Do not delete him from the team.

Hint: Barry Sanders, Steve Young, and Dan Marino:
Select "Custom", "Players", "Sign players", and those three players will be among the choices.

Hint: Phil Riggins:
Start a season with the Redskins under the All-Pro difficulty setting. Go undefeated throughout the season and playoffs. After you win the Super Bowl, you will have the Redskins old running back Phil Riggins #44.

Hint: No penalties:
Go to start and select "Game Options". Highlight "Penalties". Press A for the on or off choice. Press X for the red bar.

Hint: Very fast running back:
To create an extremely fast running back, yse the shortest height possible and the heaviest weight possible. You also may turn off stamina when using your hefty fast RB. Follow this rule to have the fastest player ever. You also may want to make agility and speed 100, sacrificing points from catching and some strength.

Hint: Unlimited creation points for punters:
Create a punter and edit his stats. Subtract at least one point from Punt Accuracy and Punt Power (X). Now, you will have an unlimited amount of points under the following categories: Fake Punt Pass and Fake Punt Run.

Hint: Better created players in Franchise:
To make your created players better keep putting them in Franchise so their ratings will increase. Do this as much as needed.

Hint: Created player on Franchise team for almost no money:
The following trick will allow you to sign a created player onto your Franchise team for only $250,000. It is best to do this either on a new memory file or before you start Franchise mode. First, make all the created characters you want to sign onto your Franchise team. When it is time to adjust their stats, drop most or all their stats down to about 30. Select "Fantasy", "4 Teams", and press A. Note: You will lose the season or franchise you are in. Select on "4 Teams" and press Start at the team selection screen. Press Start on the "Setup Names" option and answer "Yes". Press Start on the "CPU complete Draft" option and answer "Yes". Select "Quit" and enter Franchise mode. Answer "Yes" and set up your franchise. Leave Fantasy draft off, press Start , select "Management", and go to "Signings" If done correctly, your created player will be there. Cut a player from your team and pick him up. Go to the depth chart and start him. You will notice that when you offer a contract to your created players, their ratings will be near zero and they will only ask for the smallest possible paychecks. Sign them for the lowered salaries and exit Franchise mode. Re-enter create-a-player mode and boost the five most important stats (those are the stats which are under the player's picture when they are highlighted in the Depth Chart) for each player up to 100, using the remaining points as desired. When you re-enter Franchise mode and check your team's roster, you should have a rating 100 player working for the same wage they signed as a weakling. A created quarterback's rating will be 77, however, because Clutch and Attentiveness are the 4th and 5th most important factors of a quarterback and your character can only gain those from experience. Note: When you save your Franchise, turn off the game, and turn it back on, your created characters are working for $0 and for 0 years. Created players made in this way still gain some experience from games. After the first year of playing with the created players, when the re-signing period comes around the players will disappear off the roster but are still on the created player menu.
(www.gamesupport.dk)
Note: The reason a player disappears of the roster is because their contracts are long expired. If you sign the created players to new contracts, then finish the year and start a new season before you turn off the game, then the players will stay on your team.

Hint: 7 yard gains:
Under the All-pro difficulty setting, pick any out play and throw it immediately before he makes the cut. Note: This will not work on Charles Woodson (Raiders) or Chris McCallister (Ravens).

Hint: More time outs:
Go to the controller options and change to the other team. Use their time out, then switch back to your original team.

Hint: Beat the CPU:
Pause game play, go to options and go to penalties. Take them all off. Whenever the CPU tires to snap the ball, go off sides to be there to stop it.

Hint: Recommended custom play:
Go to make a play. Use any formation with both receivers split out wide on opposite sides. Have one wide out do a flag out and the other a post out (towards the side lines). All linemen should pass block. The TE should do a slant and up over the middle. One back set -- back blocks weak-side LB. Third WR pass block or short out. Two back set FB block weak-side LB. RB either blocks strong side-LB or release out into flat. QB does medium drop. When the play runs, The TE will draw the attention of the MLB and two safeties. This leaves you man on man on the outside. Attack the less talented CB. Just before the outside WR make Cut - toss it. If the WR you pass to is "Y", tap it again after the catch. This also works on two player and all pro mode.

Hint: Jets: Trick plays:
Pick the first formation on the left and the first play on the left. Throw to "Y" (Green) or "B" (Chrebet). They should be open every time for a 8 to 10 yard pickup. On that same play, Martin will run up to block. If you throw it to him he should miss it and your quarterback will recover very quickly. All the defensive players will run in. Then, throw deep to "X" (Coles) who will be wide open for a touchdown.
