Create low paid all-star QB
Create a punter or kicker with all his attributes at maximum, including passing. You will sign him for a low salary simply because he is a kicker. Then, set him as the starting quarterback on the depth charts as the season begins. You will now have the best kicker/punter and QB in the league. You may also maximize all passing attributes and take the kicking attributes down to sign him at an even lower price. This is most recommended if you only rarely kick.
Easy Points In SS Training Mode
Call a Hail Mary in a Shotgun formation and call a special team's field goal block for the defense. Now get rid of the ball quickly and you can walk in to the endzone with your WR and you will get 48 points per play. NOTE: You must play every time you do training camp without simulating it to get a boost for your player.
This is a legit tip. It's cheezy but it does what it says it's supposed to do. It actually works even better you reset your play level at Rookie. You can always reset your level of play back to one of the higher levels when gameday hits. FYI The game says 10 games is the minimum number of times required to play to get the Superstar rated/upgraded for that instance of practice.
Easy training camp points
While on offense, choose an offense with three receivers; Trip Bunch in Single Back formation works very well. Put the defense on the goal line with Zone CB cover. By doing this, no one will rush your QB, and once your receiver gets past the zone, they will be left unguarded in the endzone for an easy 48 points per play almost all of the time. This should work with most short zone coverages and does not take many attempts to learn which receiver to pick, mostly anyone running a long slant.
Fake Deuce McCallister stats
When your game is loading you will see a player and their 2004 stats while you are waiting. Once you see Deuce McCallister, it shows that he had 1600+ yards rushing. However, Deuce had 1074yards rushing last year (2004).
Interview questions
In NFL Superstar mode, make sure to choose your answers to interview questions wisely. The answers will affect your personality type and most endorsement companies want a player with a more conservative personality type, such as "Team Leader" or "Professional".

Scene 2 = Answer 2
Scene 3 = Answer 2
Scene 4 = Answer 1
NFL Superstar mode: Choosing an agent
If you have a player whose personality rating is "Disruption", choose Jason Morales as your agent. He can usually get you a movie deal before the first season starts. Stay away Aubrey DeLong. He is not a good negotiator and it takes forever to get an endorsement.
NFL Superstar mode: Easy practice points
Create someone as a QB, then go into a practice and select a HB Swing. Have the defense do FG Block. When you say hike, lob the pass to your RB, He will score a touchdown for 48 points every time.
Pick a formation with at least three receivers, Then, choose a play that has an inside receiver doing a slant or short post. Pick the defense 4-3 Engage Eight or 3-4 renegade. Simply throw the ball to your slanting receiver every time. He will be wide open and get tackled for 17 to 48 points per play.
NFL Superstar mode: Increased stats
You can get your Overall, Awareness and Stamina up in practice mode by having your superstar get practice points by getting a big gain on offense with your superstar, or creating s big loss with your superstar on defense. You also can get your stats up by getting an agent that has the Performance Institute and get a medal on it:
Bronze: 3 points
Silver: 4 points
Gold: 5 points
Note: Your stats are not permanent. They will be reset after each game. You must do the practices and Performance Institute again to get them back up.
NFL Superstar mode: New apartment
If you win a Super Bowl and are inducted to the Pro Bowl, you will move into a new apartment.
NFL Superstar mode: Switching teams
When you become a key player to a team, you can upgrade to an excellent agent. Then, after two seasons you can resign with almost any team you desire.
Pennants
Get a "Gold" in one of the following tasks to unlock the corresponding pennant:
Due to the fact that the punt blockers do not like to block very much, you should select the "Punt Block" formation instead of any other punt return formation. With the "Punt Block" formation, the punting team will not be spread out, therefore allowing your blockers to somewhat block for you; which in turn will give you more time to field the ball and have a little space to start something big.
Sign created player with high attributes for three years
When you create a player, make him a free agent. Then, get his attributes up to 75. Next, sign the player for any team desired. Go to that team's rosters and edit his attributes. You can make it as high as 99. When you go to franchise mode with the team the player you created will be on the team with a contract for three years.
Touchdown celebrations
When you play as the Eagles against the Ravens and score a touchdown with T.O., dive in the endzone by pressing X. He will do a Ray Lewis dance in the endzone as a celebration.
