ESPN NFL 2K5

Plow Over Defender:
If you have a power based or balance runner, run towards a defensive player and
hold Triangle (shoulder charge)
to plow over him.

Easy Jukes:
Instead of pressing R2 and L2 to juke, use the Right Analog-stick. Move it to the
left for a left juke, right for a right juke, up for a stutter step, and down for a 'stop
short' move.

Easy Sack:
To get an easy sack, use the 4-3. Then, go up until you find the play 'All Blitz O'.
Take the left DE and keep moving left until you get past the left OL. After the snap,
run towards the QB and you should get the sack.

Touchdown Pose:
When you have bombed on an opponent and have no one around you while
running towards the touchdown, slow down (by slightly pushing the Left Analog-
stick) and your player will stop at the one yard line and pose before scoring.

Easy Way to Win the Super Bowl:
When you choose franchise pick all of the teams, then simulate the pre season,
the regular season, and simulate week to week until the Super Bowl in the
playoffs. Choose one of the two teams in the Super Bowl and play, but make sure
you win.

Easy crib credits:
Create a team of the worst players ever, then play them with the NFL team or a
team of your choice. The opposing team will be easy to crush under any difficulty
setting.

In franchise mode and you are about to play a game, go to "Gamecast Live". Let it
simulate the game, then take control in the fourth quarter before time runs out.
You will be credited with everything that happened during simulation, and
everything you did while actually playing.

During a game, turn off the penalties and when your on defense, go near the QB
on their side. When they snap the ball, sack him for lots of crib credits.

To earn some crib credits, simply browse the game's menus. The best menu is
the "Game Manual" in the "Extras". It tells you how to blitz defenders, assign tight
coverage, juke, etc.

Beat The Salary Cap:
Beating the salary cap can be frustrating with created characters. Instead, go to
the roster for your favorite team, find the third string position player, then just edit
his name, stats, and appearance. By doing this, your player will be rated 100
overall, but still be paid a very low salary.

Always Get The Ball:
Use the following trick to always get the ball start a game. On any play, if your
opponent has the ball press Start and go to 'Options'. Choose 'Crib Cheats' and
turn on the 'Always Fumble On A Tackle' (if purchased) and turn off penalties.
When you and your opponent select your plays, go behind the QB, If you touch
anyone, you will be flagged. When you tackle him and there is a fumble, recover
the ball. When you have to select a play, press Start, go to 'Options', select 'Crib
Cheats' and disable the 'Always Fumble' cheat. When you begin the play, your
opponent will not tackle you and cause a fumble. Repeat this as desired.

Break tackle:
When you are being tied up by a defender tap X as fast as you can and if you tap
it fast enough you will break free and keep going.

Easy onside kicks:
Move your meter as far right and as high as it can go. Then, barely kick it. Your
player should run under it and catch it. However, make sure if you select the
player running towards the ball that he does not hit the player on their team --
otherwise it is fair catch interference.

Easy kickoff:
To tackle the receiving team behind the fifteen yard line most of the time, aim
your kick all the way up and get a MAX kick, or close to one. Immediately after to
kick, press Circle and start to sprint with the player. You should be the first one
downfield to tackle the player with the ball.

Never lose the ball:
After you score a touchdown, pause the game and go to the 'options' menu. Scroll
down to the penalties menu, and turn off 'illegal onside kick.' Then, do an onside
kick and aim the meter as far left and as low down as possible. Kick it really short
and the ball will bounce into the air right next to you. Then, your man should catch
the ball. You should be able to kick the ball less than ten yards and not get
charged for a penalty. This is a good way to score points fast and never lose the
ball.

Easy milestone completions:
Create a team with 42 of the absolute worst players. Then, make them even
worse by selecting each player individually and setting their attributes at 0. Note:
Then, save the team, load it, and play against them with any NFL team of your
choice. Make sure you have the game set to five to eight minute quarters, rookie
or higher difficulty setting, and penalties at default (or higher). An easy way to
complete the yardage milestones is to run out of bounds at your one yard line and
start your play from there.

Don't get tackled:
When a defender is headed straight toward you...as soon as he closes in for the
tackle press left on the Right analog stick. He will get out of the tackle by spinning
once he gets wrapped up. You can do this to score easy touchdowns.Practice your
timing with this move.

Defeating celebrity V.I.P.s
When you play against the celebrity V.I.P.s, you can use any crib cheats that you
have bought or can turn off all penalties. If you use the cheats, you will not be
able to gain any crib credits or milestones. If you turn off all penalties, you will not
be able to gain any major milestones (see the specifications), but you will be able
to get some of the regular ones. When you defeat the V.I.P., the game will not
penalize you, and you will get them on your speed dial and their bonus stadium.
When playing without penalties, you can onside kick the ball to your own team by
moving the arrow all the way to the left or right and kicking it as soft as possible.
Another way of defeating them (even easier) is to just get two or three
touchdowns then just wait for the clock to run out; you will not receive a delay of
game notice.
