Hint: Stats improvement:
While you are fighting for your star spot in the preseason, if you have solid practices you can boost your stats on Training Camp Results Day. However, that means that you cannot manipulate the depth charts like you could in Madden 07 and 08 to catch more passes if you are a HB. You can still take field goals if you are a QB by making "field goals" an audible and boost your kick power and kick accuracy before you start the game, however you cannot throw passes if you are a punter or kicker.

Hint: Brett Favre to Jets:
Because Brett Favre is not in the game and the 2007 Packers cannot be edited, much like any teams you unlocked in Fantasy Challenge (and also cannot be used for practicing situations), edit QB #5 on the 1992 Packers.Copy his stats and create him accordingly. Create him as a Dolphins player, then trade him for Chad Pennington (Jets). However he will not have Brett Favre's picture.

Hint: Weapons:
You do not automatically become a cannon arm QB. This means a created Brett Favre will not be recognized as a Cannon Arm QB with 99 arm strength or Franchise QB. Likewise, if you drop Speed, Acceleration and Agility below 85 on Devin Hester , he will not lose his speed icon. In order to gain, change, or lose a weapon, it would be adjusted after the first season. For a rookie HB on Superstar mode, you will not become a Power/Elusive/Franchise Back until the second season (likewise for Franchise mode). You will not gain weapons if you start with a man from the 2008 or 2009 class if he does not have one already or you have altered his stats. A lot of players in your squad can lose weapons, but that is not really consequential. You will not receive ticks for fulfilling tasks on your Hall-of-Fame Resume or fulfilling contract clauses in Madden 09.

Hint: Kickers' special abilities:
Kickers can be unlocked by winning the final game of the Newbie League. Their strategy is to use a lot of special teams plays such as the Buffalo Bills utilizing Brian Moorman. Watch out for fake field goal pass or fake field goal run. If the pass is good or if you smash the punter running, you will be called for roughing the kicker. Thus, do not go for sacks. Deflect passes or try intercepting them. If you are defending the run, just take the penalty quickly. Also, No.17 has "Da Boot" built-in when he is taking a field goal and kickoffs (you will not need a card for it). He does not have it when you use him to punt. The punter has no "Da Boot" for punting, either.

Hint: Manipulator's special abilities:
Manipulators can be unlocked by winning the final game of the Power House League. Their trick strategy is called "Manipulated". This changes your play without you having to call audibles. For example, if you came out in I-form-Normal, HB dive, they can manipulate you to Singleback-Normal, PA Boot, then force you to snap the ball early. Know your playbook well. This also applies in Defensive playbooks. Sometimes, they can force you to run a play, leaving you no choice, such as a Superstar HB forced to run a play called by the coaches. To counter, do not bother taking your time calling audibles like Peyton Manning. If you can pick your play, come out and snap the ball. Alternately, just play as a wide receiver and break your own routes if you get manipulated into a passing play. Defensively, after you get manipulated, you can call an audible back to plays you are more comfortable with because they cannot jump snaps. If that fails, just control the safeties and hang on for pass deflections, or control anyone who has less chance of being blocked and try for a tackle. They mostly force you into two safeties deep, with everybody else in man coverage. If you are playing as Manipulators, the special abilities are initiated randomly and automatically.

Hint: Monster's special abilities (Intimidation):
Monsters can be unlocked by winning the final game of the Black & Blue League. Their special abilities are called "Intimidation". This affects the passing game more, especially for players using QB Vision. Once it is activated, your receiver's icons are turned into question marks. The result is that the QB cannot hot route or smart route anybody, and locks the primary receiver so your QB vision cannot lock on properly. However it has no consequence in the actual throws. It may lose accuracy. For example, if you are doing Singleback-Normal, PA TE Corner, the primary receiver is the tight end, when you are intimidated, his route is locked. You cannot move him, and you are stuck with him as a primary target. Your QB will fixate on him when you snap the ball (unless you swivel your head by moving the Right Analog-stick, but you cannot lock on anyone else for an accurate throw). Despite the receiving icons being spooked, when you press Square for this play, it will head towards your correct receiver. To counter, use the following strategies.

Control your wide receivers and run your own routes. If you do like the preset primary receiver, control him, but change your routes.

Turn QB Avoidance on. It lowers its effectiveness somewhat.

Make shorter passes where you can make accurately without QB Vision.

Use a running play. Blocking is not affected by it much.

Change formation or change play, but it will not change the primary receiver.

Defensively, this merely messes up coverages. If yopu are playing as Monsters, the special abilities are initiated randomly and automatically.

Hint: QB Avoidance and QB Vision:
Both of these are mutually exclusive. Because they both utilize the Right Analog-stick, you cannot have both of them on. Go to the game settings to change them.

Hint: Superstar mode: Playbooks:
In Superstar mode, when you practice, you will be learning your team's default playbook with default audibles and not the one you desired on your profile. For example, if your Superstar HB's team is the Dallas Cowboys, but your desired offensive playbook is the New England Patriots, you will be stuck with your team's playbook. The main problem with this is when you are a defender learning in a 4-3 team when you are more comfortable with the 3-4 (or vice versa). Kickers and punters are mostly unaffected because they only have to punt and kick field goals, and those do not change in any playbook.

Hint: Superstar mode: Easy 99 overall in Hall Of Fame:
In Superstar Hall Of Fame mode, go on a game plan that is before a practice. Once you finish the game plan do not choose "End Practice". Instead, select "Continue". You do not have to play. Just leave it idle for one to two hours for best results. After, that exit, then play in the practice immediately after you just finished that game plan. Once you finish the practice and get your reward points to add on your stats for better overall, the points from the game plan will be added.

Glitch: Enter the stands:
If you score a touchdown, keep going straight and your player will go into the bleachers.

Glitch: Wrong way celebration:
Score a defensive TD from interceptions or fumble recovery. Celebrate over the top (press Triangle after you reach the end-zone). Take your time even while you are choosing your PAT play. You will see the QB who made the mistake celebrating as if he was the one who threw a TD pass. The wrong way celebration also applies with toned-down celebration (Square) and multi-player (Circle), but the prevalence of the QB celebrating is less often.

Glitch: Wrong player announced:
Play as the Saints using the default roster on Play Now or Franchise mode. Make a play with FS Josh Bullocks. Al Michaels will say his name is "Brodney Pool", who is also a safety, but for the Cleveland Browns.

Glitch: Rams announcement:
Play as the St. Louis Rams in Play Now or Franchise mode. Al Michaels will sometimes get it wrong and say that the team is from San Diego. However he never gets it wrong for the Chargers.

Glitch: Super-sized Thurman Thomas:
Thurman Thomas was a true AFC Legend for the Bills, but in the AFC Hall of Fame team, he was listed over 6'2" and over 300 pounds with a 76 on his back, which is much taller and far heavier than what he is (5'10" at 206 pounds). There are many AFC and NFC Hall-of Famers that have their heights, weights, and shirt numbers incorrectly displayed, but you cannot do anything about them. Any teams and players unlockable in Fantasy Challenge mode cannot be edited.
