Before playing your game, go to Owner's Box and max out money on all advertising. Play your game and you'll receive the attendence for the max advertising. When your game is over, go back to Owner's Box and drop all advertising to $0. Go back to Play Week, uncheck the checked game and simulate the rest of the week. When you go back to Owner's Box and check your balance sheet, the amount of overall spending for attendance will stay the same, but you'll recieve the attendance boost.
More Easy Sacks
When on defense, pick the 4-3. Find the "Man Buzz" play. Flip the play until the blitzing outside linebacker is blitzing on a side where there are no TEs, and preferably no RBs. Shift your D-Line and LBs to the outside. Your outside LB should get to the QB cleanly, and make the sack.
