Madden NFL 2002 PS2 Cheats and Codes
Madden Card Trick:
As you are aware, if you want to earn all of the 300+ Madden Cards, available in the game, there are two standard ways you can get them. First is by playing with Madden Challenge set to the "ON" position. As you earn milestones, (for say sacking the QB, kicking long field goals etc.), you earn tokens that can be redeemed for Madden Cards. Another way is to play the Two-Minute Drill and score as many points as you can, in under two minutes, to earn tokens.
Now here is the cheat:
Go into Two-Minute Drill mode and select the Houston Texans as the defensive opponent. Then set the difficulty to Pro or All-Pro mode. Zip down to the offensive team select with your "x" button and be certain to hit it once again to pull up a choose "Profile" dialog. Make certain to select your pre-established Profile (otherwise everything you do will get credited to that ubiquitous "Player 1" dude) and enter the Two-Minute Drill (on offense) as the Minnesota Vikings. Starting to see where this is going? Huh!
Once in, you will have three timeouts and two minutes to rack up the digits. Use a formation that has receivers drawing the safeties toward the right side of the field. Virtually any play of your choosing will suffice. Then, when you get to the line of scrimmage, no matter what route Randy Moss is running, use the "triangle" button to call up Hot Routes, then hit your "square" button (the one Moss is always assigned to) and push "UP" on the D-Pad. This will re-route Moss to a sprint streak into the open left hand side of the field.
Then, with the O-line giving you excellent protection 89 to 95 percent of the time, wait patiently for Moss to make some tracks. As he diminishes from view, which will happen rather quickly, launch the ball in a relatively high, arcing throw (this is done by pressing lightly on the touch sensitive "square" passing button). As the ball makes its way down, Moss (speed=98) will catch up to it while also gaining some distance from the Cornerback (speed =77) covering him. Let him catch the ball and be ready to jam on the "X" button to help him Sprint the rest of the way into the end zone.
I just completed one of these, as I prepared this, and I am still showing 1:51 on the clock and I have six on the board already. If this is done well, and fairly consistently, using the timeouts when you get snubbed and by knowing when to run the "Spike" or Stop-The-Clock play (holding down the "Circle" button immediately after a bad play) you can feasibly earn well up to 36000 or more points and a couple hundred tokens for your cards in the process.
Before you quit the first time, you may just have earned enough tokens (as I did) to buy more than 50% of the entire cache of cards--in one sitting.
Touchdown Celebrations:
When you break awy from the pack and you're heading in to score a touchdown, press a shoulder button as you near the end zone to perform a taunting maneuver.
Make Good Players Even Better:
In addition to creating new players, Madden allows you to edit existing characters. To do this, go to the Roster screen in either Exhibition, Season or Franchise modes. You can change all of an existing player's stats to 99, if you want. Heck, you could even have an entire team of 99-rated players... a great trick when you're playing your overconfident buddy.
