Unlimited money in franchise mode:
First, select season mode. Next, choose a team, but do not select "Start" yet. Go to
"Salary Cap" and change it to "No". Play all the games of your season. When a box appears asking you to convert season to franchise, select "OK". Choose your team to play with again and resume to the off-season schedule. When you want to sign a player, you will see "No Cap" at the top. You may now sign anyone of your choice with no limit.
Get the ball at the start:
Set the weather to "Heavy Rain" before the game. If the other team wins the coin toss, they will choose to kick most of the time. I don't like this one because I want to get the ball after half-time.

When your player is wide open with the ball, press L or R before running into the endzone and your player will do a dance.
Kiss a cheerleader:
After your first five seasons in franchise mode, at the end of the SuperBowl there will be a cheerleader waiting for you. You have to be a running back, corner back, wide receiver or a linebacker for this trick to work. Go through the extra trouble to be one of those players at the end of the game!!!
Cracked helmet:
Play an AFC vs. NFC Pro Bowl game at Aloha Stadium in season mode. During the game, get a player's helmet to pop off (try getting hit in the middle of a throw). After that same play, view an instant replay and zoom in on the helmet that popped off to see that it is cracked.
