Madden Football 2005 GC cheats

The following players are selected in the rounds after their name.
Therefore, you can draft them in the previous round if you have a
good draft pick. For example, pick #6 to 10.
Roy Williams(FS): 7
Tony Gonzalez: 12
Deangelo Hall: 13
Ed Reed: 8
Larry Fitzgerald: 10
D. Akers: 21
Shane Lechler: 23
Rashaun Woods: 31
Jim Kleinsasser: 20
Clinton Portis: 2
Brian Urlacher: 2
Steven Jackson: 27
Roy Williams(WR): 8
Lee Evans: 15
Dante Hall: 15
Reggie Williams: 16
Justin Smith: 5
Julius Peppers: 3
For example, if Brian Urlacher is drated in the 2nd round, you
must draft him in the first. If Dante Hall is drafted in the
fifteenth round, you must draft him in the fourteenth round. ***
These players are always drafted in the round given; choose wisely.

Use the following steps to get Charles Woodson in franchise mode.
Sign LB Jason Gildon or John Mobley then trade him with a 1st
round and perhaps 2nd round pick, and get Charles Woodson and a
3rd round pick. After you get him, re-sign him for 7 years and
his morale should go up.

In the fantasy draft, there are obvious stars that go great with any
team but there are also some players how are rated fairly low (85 or
below) and still seem like they cannot be stopped:

Jerome Bettis HB
Chris Gamble CB
R. Mathis CB
Eli Manning QB
Warrick Dunn HB
Micheal Lewis WR
Kenny Mixon LE
Kenchi Udeze RE
R.W. McQuarters CB
Ben Roethelisburger QB
Corneilius Griffin DT (rated 87)
Reggie Wayne WR
Some player are highly rated, but arguable do not perform as they
should.

Mike McKenzie CB
Edgerrin James HB
Issac Bruce WR
Matt Hasselbeck QB
Chris Hovan DT
Corey Dillion
Takeo Spikes
Ted Washington
Hint: Recommended players:
To get a good team in the future you must get good rookies. *** If
you start them, they will get great very quickly. Some such players
are as follows.

Larry Fitzgerald WR
Eli Manning QB
Sean Taylor FS
Roy Williams WR
Keniche Udeze DE
Robert Gallery LT
DeAngelo Hall CB
Steven Jackson RB
Bob Sanders FS
Ben Roethlisbergr QB
Hint: Faster player improvement:
Before playing under the All-Pro or All-Madden difficulty settings,
play your franchise under the Rookie or Pro levels so you can
increase stats for your players easily. This will give them more
attribute upgrades throughout the season. The more yards your
receivers or running backs get, the more points their ratings will
increase.

In order to get a team that will last 3 to 4 years of
dominance, must start with a team with lots of long contracts in
place (for example, the Lions). They have 4 or six, 6 and 7
year contracts on the good rookies. Trade for other players with
long contracts. The 1st person you need to trade is the tight end
that makes $12 million a year. Kellen Winslow from the Browns makes
a good replacement. Make sure to not build too good of a roster, as
your players have personalities and will get upset if they do not
start, get the ball, etc. However, a decent roll playing team with
outstanding players at these positions will take it every time. QB,
HB, WR, or a 2nd WR will not hurt. With DE/DT OLB/MLB CB SS/FS,
80-85 on every other player is more than sufficient. Also, if you
trade these players from the rosters before your franchise, you can
then edit them to make them better. However, be careful not to go
too high on all of them, as they will all want more money and cause
major backroom problems.

Use the following trick to get high draft picks every year. Each
year after pre-season, simulate or play the games up until week 5.
Check the standings to learn who has the worst record so far. Now,
initiate a trade with the worst team. Offer the worst team your
1st round pick for their 1st and 3rd round picks. They will
usually accept. If they do not, find another team that is bad and
offer the same deal to them. Once they accept, you can then usually
offer both of your 3rd round picks to another bad team for their
1st round pick. Then after the season is over, you will generally
have 2 1st round picks very high in the 1st round. You will be
without a 3rd round pick, but it is well worth it for the 2
1st round picks.
.
Use any roster. Take the thirrd string or very last player in your
depth chart and edit the player. You can do anything you want with
him and his salary will be the same, no matter how bad or good he
is.

If you find a great player as a free agent, you can sign him if you
have a salary cap over $1 million. Just give the player 7 years
and your salary cap will get lower, but will not go under 0.

First, do a Fantasy Draft with any team other than the Falcons. Once
you finish the training camp, preseason, and five weeks in the
regular season, look at the standings in the NFC East. You should
see that the Falcons are 1-4 or 0-5. Trade your 1st round pick for
their 1st round pick. This usually works. If not, trade with the
next worst team.

In franchise mode, create an offensive lineman that is 45 years old.
Set his years in the league to 27. Put his stats all the way up,
then sign him on free agency. Next, trade with any team and get any
player or pick you desire. This works best with getting 1st round
picks, but can also get a lot of good players. Because he is an
offensive lineman, he will not have a huge impact on a team winning
and will retire at the end of the season.

In franchise mode, go to "My Team", then "Team Info". Scroll over to
"Team Morale". Look under the other team's morale for unhappy
players. Those player will be easy to trade for.

*** If you are begining a franchise with a created team, do not
sign too many star players because you will be over the cap limit,
and your players will complain about playing time. To have a good
team, sign a QB, halfback, and wide receiver all with ratings of 85
to 99. For defense, sign a good middle linebacker, a good safety
(strong or free), and a good cornerback, also all 85 or above. This
will leave your team with a good offense and defense, and it will
keep them under the cap limit.

Start a franchise with the team that you want to be perfect. Now,
go to "My Team" then to "Export Team". Export the team, then exit
out of franchise mode. Go to "Features", then to "Historic Teams".
Press R to go to "Saved Teams". Now, choose the players and edit
their attributes so that they are at 99. Next, exit and go to "Play
Now". Press X. Now, press R to go to "Exported Teams" and choose
your team.

If you want to create a quarterback with a 99 rating, but do not
want to use all of your salary cap space, use the following trick.
When you go to create your player, do not make his position QB.
Instead, make him a kicker. Set his physical looks as usual. When
adjusting his attributes, increase everything up to 99 except for
his kick accuracy and kick power. Leave those 2 attributes at 50.
His overall rating will still be 12. Once done, go into free agency
and sign him. He will only want the league minimum. Now, go into
your depth chart and start him as your QB. Since almost all his
stats are 99, he will play better than any QB in the game, and you
will not make a dent in your salary cap.

Before begining franchise mode, go to rosters and make all the
2nd and 3rd string players at a 12 rating. Make all the 1st
string players at or above 90. Turn injuries off. If you turn the
injuries off you should never have to use your 2nd or 3rd
string. Making their rating at 12 will let you sign players for very
little money. You will probably lose all of the preseason games, but
will dominate and win all season games.

This trick allows you to make quite a bit of more salary cap room.
You can easily get $8 to 10 million more. Before you advance to the
Off-Season mode (any time during the season), go into "View
Rosters". Sort the players by the number of years left on their
contracts so that ones with the fewest years remaining are shown on
top of the list. For anyone that you want to keep, re-sign them to a
7 year contract and adjust the salary and signing bonus to get
the most cap room from that player. Continue with all remaining
players that you want to keep. You will get more cap room from
players with the fewest years remaining on their contract. It does
not work as well with if there are five to 6 years left. If you
have players that can resist injury really well, there is not much
need for good backups. You can sign lower quality backups to help
clear up some cap room.
