Unlock Madden Cards in Mini-Camp

Get Gold in Mini-Camp challenges to unlock Madden Cards. Cards directly relate to the challenges you complete. For instance, getting a Gold in the Ground Attack challenge will yield a Priest Holmes Card. Be sure to get Golds on all of the difficulty levels to collect all of the cards!

Avoid The Cap

The salary cap is pretty easy to manipulate. If you don't like a player for whatever reason, than re-negotiate his contract so that he doesn't get a signing bonus. Than work out a trade with another team and you won't take a hit against the salary cap for trading him.

Memorycard trick

You know how on GameCube version of Madden 2004 it take up alot of Blocks, we'll if you have two memorycards that would together equal the amount needed in the game, put on in the save some of the info and another one to save another aspect of the game, and then when you play put the correct card (that has what you are trying to load) and then after its loaded take it out and then load the rest off the other card and play!

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

Do you have a 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 wants in other mode how much money he wants lower it put the signing bones up. Sometimes 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?
