Hint: Tackle after play:
After each play you can tackle someone. If you tackle the opposing team's players or coach you might get a penalty. You can also tackle the boards, and if you do you will be launched over. After a touchdown, kickoff, or just before the play selection screen appears, you can tackle an opponent without getting called for a penalty. You can do this on defense or offense.

Hint: Onside kick recovery:
Turn off penalties at the game play settings menu. When kicking off, select the play "Onside Kick". Kick the ball with a power of 10. Your opponent will not be able to recover, and you will not get called for Illegal Procedure. As long as you do not turn the ball over, you can stay on offense the entire game and shut the other team out.

Hint: Helmet to helmet:
Before each game two of the home team's players will do helmet to helmet.

Hint: Get to line of scrimmage faster:
After selecting your play, hold X to get to the line of scrimmage faster. This is useful if you use a hurry-up offense at the end of the game.

Hint: More accurate kicks:
When kicking, try and keep the Right Analog-stick straight when going from down to up. This allows for a more accurate kick instead of one that may end up out of bounds. This is especially helpful when going for key field goals.

Hint: Recommended offense:
In order to create more open passes you should try and set "picks" for your other receivers in order to get them wide open. You can do this by controlling a wide receiver yourself and putting a pick on a defender; or you can set a crosses, posts, curls, or flys by hot-routing other receivers near by. This usually works, and often has good results if you set the picks correctly. This is especially helpful when in need of a first down, near the endzone, or for a conversion.

Hint: Hurry Up offense:
While you are in a Hurry Up offense, during or after the play, you will dive over the wall. You will not be able to get in a Hurry Up offense and will probably have to call a timeout.

Hint: Recommended defense:
If you control one of your linemen and hold Left Analog-stick Down before the snap, you will get a better jump on trying to get to the quarterback or fullback. If you want to prevent the deep pass or the run, the play you should use is deep pass. This is useful when the other team is inside their own ten on forth down and goes for it.
