Better punt
When punting the ball, call an audible and change the play. The receiving team will change its coverage. Next, call an other audible and select the old play. If done correctly, the receiving team will not change. Punt the ball, and the entire receiving team will try to block it. Run down field and down the ball. This will allow you to pin the opponent deep in their own territory.

Easy defense
When the QB is lined up directly under the Center, take one of your defenders and put him right in front of the Center. When the QB snaps the ball press turbo (X) and run toward the QB. He will usually throw the ball incomplete, out of bounds, an interception, or to the RB (and he will easily be stopped for a loss).
|
Easy kick off coverage
Score a touchdown or fieldgoal with no time remaining in the first or third period. When the teams run to line up for the kickoff, you will line up quicker than the other team. Kick the ball, and if done quickly enough, the other team will still be running. They will field it very deep in their territory and you should be close enough to tackle them without the other team getting a good return.
|
Easy onside kick
Trade John Hall from the Jets to be on your team. When you go to kick, instead of changing to an onside attempt, line up regular. If there is wind, kick the ball away from it. Kick the ball as easy as possible. It will usually work and works best against the Bengals.
|
Easy touchdown
Ste up in shotgun select go route. If the defense sets up in a V-shape your receiver will catch the ball for about 15 to 25 yards. Do this about three times and you should get a quick touchdown.
