Xbox : 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.
Extra money
Save the game immediately at the start of the third quarter, then quit the game. Exit out of franchise mode. Then, reload the franchise and the game will bring you to the controller selection screen. Choose your team then play and finish the rest of the game. After that, your total income will be doubled from what it really was. To get more money, do this repeatedly then finish the game. Play in owner mode and if you have the Super Bowl in the previous year, next
year take all the tickets, concessions, and merchandise up as far as they can. You will get about $20 million a game.
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.
Get under the salary cap
Go to "Rosters", then go down to "Resign Players". Sign your players to seven year contracts. This will give more money most of the time. This is a good way to get more money before the off season to get those highly paid players.
Quick blitz
If you want to blitz fast, go to the setting menu, then choose "Penalty", and turn off "Offsides". You can now run before the play.
Easy touchdowns
Call the play HB Screen, then press Playmaker and press Triangle + Circle.
Easy first down or more
When you create a playbook, make a formation with the quarterback one step back from the center, and the halfback in the same location as the quarterback, only behind the left tackle. Make a custom route for him. Have him run straight
towards the QB, then streak as soon as he reaches the outside of the offensive line. Have the fullback out as a receiver going for a 25 yard post. Have the left side receiver go for a 25 yard streak, and make a custom for the right receiver (next to the fullback). Have him go straight for 5 yards, have a two second delay, then post left. About the time he starts his post, the fullback should be starting his, and the defense re-adjusts to cover both men, leaving just enough time to get the ball to your open halfback. This works about 90 percent of the time. You must be quick to avoid getting sacked.

No Cap in Started Franchise
To turn off the cap in a franchise you already have started get your team extremely close to the salary cap (100k to 0k works for me) but you have to be missing a player you need (ex. have only 4 WR) then try to go to a regular or pre-
season game it will say something to the effect of "You need a WR" then give you a choice to sign one or have the CPU sign it, choose CPU. Then it will pause for a second and say "no cap room choose cancel to sign player yourself or choose ok to turn off salary cap permanently. "Its that simple warning though this will turn off owner mode for good
Help Lower Salary Cap (in franchise mode)
To help lower the salary cap, when you sign people sign them for 7 years and raise the signing bonus, it will raise your cap until a certain point then will lower it, raise it to the point when it gives you the most cap and there ya go as Madden
himself would say BOOM.

Low Salary
If you have a low salary and need to sign in new players don't turn your salary cap off. Because if you do you won't get Owner Mode. One thing you can do is that the computer automatically puts what the player want's in other mode how much money he wants lower it put the signing bones up. Somtimes the player will reject but keep on putting it up bye 10k and soon enough he will accept lower that what he was asking for.(while you put salary up little bye little put signing bones to it's max they like signing bones to it's max)

Bargain Basement Superstars (Franchise Mode)
Create a player without increasing any of his attributes. You can even lower them a little more to make his price as low as possible. Sign him for 7 years for next to nothing, then go back into "create a player" and increase his attributes to
whatever you want them to be without raising salary. You can even max them out, but how much fun would that be?
Easy interceptions
While in defense, choose the play Nickel-Normal, go to cover 2. Now that you chose the play move your line in, your LB to the left, and your coverage in. Note: This only work about 85% of the time in rookie mode, sometimes in pro, if you are
lucky on all-pro, and almost never in all-Madden settings.

Easy sacks
If you have Bill Callahan's defensive playbook, go to Nickle defense and scroll down until you find Middle Blitz. Select that play then shift both your line and your LBs inside. You should get a sack about 85% of the time.
