Playstation 2 : Madden NFL 2004 Cheats
Below are the cheats, hints, and tips that Game Gas knows about for Madden NFL 2004. On the right are
websites that may have additional cheat codes, hints, or tips for Madden NFL 2004.
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.
RB Drill
Run without sprinting until your FB picks up a block. Then, just as the linebacker or safety is getting to you, cut back the other way and sprint to the endzone, avoiding your pursuer. This will either get you a touchdown or 5-10 yard, depending on the difficultly level and timing.
Trading Draft Picks
Before the trading deadline, check the standings. Trade all of your draft picks with the team or teams with the worst record at the time. You're #1 for their #1, etc. You just might end up with the first pick in the next draft.
Double Your Income In Franchise Mode
This tip will only work for your home games: Start a game and then save it. Next, quit and go all the way out to the main menu. Load your saved game, finish it, and you will double your income for that game. if you have good fan support throughout the season, you should easily net over $100 million for the season.
Trade for Any Player
In Franchise Mode, Create a player (or 3, or 20) and set all of his attributes low so that his overall rating is 12. Sign him as a free agent for cheap then return to Create-A-Player and max out his stats. You can now trade this player to any team for the very best players in the NFL.
Free Advertising
At the beginning of each week, check a game later than yours time-wise (Monday night being the best choice so after you play your game, the week doesn't end). 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.
Avoid The Cap
The salary cap is pretty easy to manipulate. If you don't like a player for whatever reason, than re-negotiate his contract so that he doesn't get a signing bonus. Than work out a trade with another team and you won't take a hit against the salary cap for trading him.
