Hint: Free Madden cards:
Create a false profile. Use the false profile to earn points for Madden cards, then save the false profile. Every time you turn on your game, use the points to buy packs of cards with your false profile and trade them with your real profile. Do not save the false profile, but do save your real profile after the trading. Turn off the console then back on again. You can load your false profile again and continue to buy cards with that profile and trade for the ones that you want. You can make two hundred points go a long way.

Hint: Kiss a cheerleader:
After your first five seasons in franchise mode, at the end of the SuperBowl there will be a cheerleader waiting for you. You have to be a running back, corner back, wide receiver or a linebacker for this trick to work.

Hint: Easy passes:
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.

Hint: Easy sacks:
Select the 3-4 defense play and select the play Wipman. Then, control the DT on the left. Move him to the right to block the center. This will work about 80% of the time.

Hint: Avoid tackles:
Stop running for a moment. You can sometimes easily avoid being tackled. Sometimes you will need to juke, spin, or stiff arm to get past defenders.

Hint: Good protection:
To get good protection on kick returns, choose "Onside Kick" as your play. When you run back the ball, you will usually get past the 20.

Hint: Get the ball at the start:
Set the weather to "Heavy Rain" before the game. If the CPU wins the coin toss, it will choose to kick most of the time.

Hint: Stall a two-minute offense:
Use the play Dime: Double Wide when you need to stall a two-minute offense. You will have a better chance of running the clock while the opponent is trying to score with a two-minute offense.

Hint: Offense always gets the ball:
When kicking off (at least in an indoor stadium), aim all the way up and all the way to the right. With penalties off, the returner will call for a fair catch. One of your cover players will either strip the returner or catch the kick, giving you the ball on the 35. For example, play as the Buccaneers. When playing at Detroit, Grammattica will kick it and Dwight Smith will make the play downfield.
