Re: madden \'05
some good ideas listed above. here are some additional.
for deep passing- a fast reciever is KEY. the trick is to switch into control of the reciever once the QB has launched the ball. once you have control of the WR, push off of the DB by pressing the analog stick back towards his direction, followed by initiating a speed burst right away. this should create the necessary gap that will help you catch the ball nearly every time. once you see the ball dropping towards the target, saunter over, make sure to pull it in via the triangle button, and then high-step your way to paydirt.
kickoffs- use the squib kick. finding out the proper power/accuracy ratio is an art more than a science as it is different for each kicker. in general, you want to aim the kick slightly off center and the power and accuracy should be less than full. your goal is to have the ball land in front of the 2nd to last line of the recieving team, where an unsuspecting returner will be confused at seeing the ball and will proceed to run around the ball instead of picking it up. this should give you plenty time to sprint down the sidelines and scoop up the pigskin for a game-changing turnover.
g'luck
