Madden NFL 2001

Instant Super Bowl:
Highlight the Playoff screen. Select your team, but do not hit the X button to select it. Press R1 and X simultaneously for the code to work and a cheat buzzer to sound off. Instead of waiting for the buzzer to end, press R2 and Triangle simultaneously. You will now be transported to the selection screen where you select the teams/players/stadium involved in the Superbowl.

Easy Onside kicks:
After you score either a field goal or a touchdown, choose the "onside kick" play, while making sure that you are kicking the football to the left. After that, a red arrow will appear. Adjust that arrow so it lines up to the far left. Kick the ball at around half power, making sure that the ball travels at least 10 yards so there isn't a flag; now pick up the ball and run for a touchdown!

Get the ball first:
First, select Exhibition , Season, or Franchise modes under the main screen. Then press Start at least 10 seconds before the coin toss begins.

Unlimited Creation Points:
Go to the main menu then highlight the Rosters option. Select edit player. Scroll down the list and choose the football team/player you want to edit. Next, press the right button to highlight the "Player speed" category. Now while highlighting that, press x.

Bonus team:
At the team selection Screen, Press circle once for the 1960-2000 Superbowl teams to be available. Press circle twice and you should now be able to select the 1975-2000 All-star teams.

Touchdown celebrations:
Hold one of the following button combinations immediately after scoring a touchdown to perform the corresponding touchdown celebration:

Hip thrust Hold L1 + Square
Jump spike Hold L1 + Circle
Say a prayer Hold L1 + Triangle
Spike football Hold L1 + X
Shoulder shake Hold L1 + R1
Slam dunk Hold L1 + R2

Hint:
From a kickoff, put the ball as high as possible and as far left as possible. Kick the ball with maximum strength and you should find that you get the ball back, as your player (Waddy usually in the case of GB) will get there first and catch it. Unfortunatly you will be stopped straight away, but you usually start your runs from the 15-35 yard line.

Top 10 Passers in NFL History:
Try to win a game (Vs. computer or someone else) by only throwing the football. Do not run the ball at anytime( i.e. punt return, kickoff return or offense, or an interception on defense. If you win, the top 10 passers in NFL history will be added to you free agent list in season or franchise mode. They will play for very little money. They make a great addition to any team.

Showtime celebrations:
If you are on a break away run, if you press either R1, R2, L1 or L2 you will do different showtime celebrations.

Hint:
When you run out of bounds, if you hold down the no huddle button you can run the offense again without picking a play. It keeps the defense off balance.
