Madden NFL 07 Card Codes

Use the following trick to obtain almost any player desired in Franchise mode. Go to the desired player in the "View Roster" menu. Make sure there are more than enough players in the position he is in. Go to "Edit Player" then "Information". Change his position to something that would make him overall bad. For example, make Ladanian Tomlinson a linebacker. Go to "Trade Player" and trade someone with a higher rating than him for that player. Once you get the player on your team, change them back to their original position.

Do not draft a running back because Reggie Bush will not be selected until the ninth round. You can choose him late and he is amazing. If you do the highlight stick he is unbeatable. Also for your first draft pick, it must be a quarterback. Make sure he is ranked at least 94 overall. Even a perfectly created quarterback will not get you Brady Palmer or Manning.

When you think one of your players may be injured on offense, hurry the play up and they will get back up.

When on defense, switch to one of the safeties in a zone coverage and pick up on a receiver. Stay about five to ten yards away from the receiver. When the quarterback throws the ball to that receiver, run towards the receiver. Press Y when you get in front of the receiver, just as the ball is getting there.

You can use performance institute more than once in one week during the superstar mode and Hall of Fame modes. To use the performance institute more than once in one week (this assumes if your agent lets you use it) first go to your schedule and simulate up to the day that you have your game, then go to the performance institute and do your normal drill. Now go to your schedule and start your game, but when you get to the kickoff, quit and go back to the performance institute and you should be able to attend once more (before the game).

When using Lead Blocker Control, you have a number of different block types that you can use. The trick to effective blocking learning when to use the different blocks. Impact blocks (Up on the Right Stick) are better suited if you have a size advantage against the player you are blocking, while Cut Blocks (Down on the Right Stick) are better if the defender is bigger than you. Turn Blocking (L2 and R2) works best for offensive linemen when they are trying to create an interior hole for the running back. If you ever find yourself beaten and you must resort to dirty tactics, then Holding (L1) might be your only option!

When running with the ball, you are going to have to get creative in order to beat the NFLs best defenders. The Highlight Stick is the best way to beat a defender in the open field. Pressing Up on the Highlight Stick will cause the ball carrier to play to their strengths and attempt to either power through or quickly shake past the defender. Left, Right, and Back on the Highlight Stick will make the ball carrier do a quick juke move in the specified direction, these moves are great for keeping your opponent guessing.

Cut Moves (L1 and R1) are a quick way to change the direction of the ball carrier without having to lose too much speed. If you are running in a certain direction and the defense is closing in, cutting in a different direction can be a great way to slip past the defenders. These moves are best done by quicker running backs with high agility ratings.

When the running back has the ball in the backfield, you can use the Cut buttons (L1 and R1) to slip through the holes in the offensive line. These moves are known was Behind the Line Jukes, and they can only be triggered when the ball carrier is approaching the offensive line. These moves allow the ball carrier to turn his hips and squeeze through small holes in the offensive line that normally he would not be able to get through.

If you score a touchdown and they rule you out of bounds. Then the official challenges it and it is over turned. Go back to where you snapped the ball first - there will be two balls on the field.

When you finish a game in Superstar mode do not save or turn off the PlayStation2. Do all the practices and gameplans and start the next game. Do the coin toss and choose to receive or kick or direction depending on coin toss. When you get to the screen with the play the coach picked for the kickoff, pause game play. Save the game and then turn off the PlayStation2. When you turn the game on and load Superstar mode, you should have all of your influence points and role points from the previous game. For example, if you finished game 1 with 100 influence points, you will have 100 influence points at the start of game 2 to build on.

This glitch has worked in every Madden since owner mode was created. Set your advertising budget as high as you like and play or sim your game. You can sim all games in a week except Monday Night Football, do not sim any Monday night games. Now go back into owner mode and set your advertising back to zero, then sim any remaining games on the schedule. You will get the added attendance and revenue of advertising but will not have to pay for it. Obviously this does not work if you are hosting Monday Night Football.
