Agents in NFL Superstar mode
The agents you get are based on the talent of your player. For example, if your player's overall rating is at least 84, you will get Dan Baker as an agent. The interview after the mentor meeting determines some stat boosts to important stats for your player's position.

Choosing an agent in NFL Superstar mode
If you have a player whose personality rating is "Disruption", select Jason Morales as your agent. He can usually get you a movie deal before the first season starts. Stay away from Aubrey DeLong, as he is not a good negotiator and it takes forever to get an endorsement deal.
Create low paid all-star QB
Create a punter or kicker with all his attributes at maximum, including passing. You can sign him for a low salary because he is a kicker. Then, set him as the starting quarterback on the depth charts when the season begins. You will now have the best kicker/punter and QB in the league. You may also maximize all passing attributes and move the kicking attributes down to sign him at an even lower price; however this is only recommended if you rarely kick.
Easy practice points in NFL Superstar mode
Create a QB, then go into a Practice mode and select a HB Swing. Have the defense do FG Block. When you say hike, lob the pass to your RB and he will score a touchdown for 48 points every time. Additionally, pick a formation with at least three receivers. Then, select a play that has an inside receiver doing a slant or short post. Pick the defense 4-3 Engage Eight or 3-4 renegade. Throw the ball to your slanting receiver every time, as they will be wide open and get tackled for 17 to 48 points per play. Choose a deep pass play on offense. Choose I Field Goal Block on the defense. You should be able to get a touchdown most of the time.
Easy training camp points
While on offense, choose an offense with three receivers; Trip Bunch in Single Back formation works very well. Put the defense on the goal line with Zone CB cover. By doing this, no one will rush your QB, and once your receiver gets past the zone, they will be left unguarded in the endzone for an easy 48 points per play almost all of the time. This should work with most short zone coverages and does not take many attempts to learn which receiver to pick, mostly anyone running a long slant.
Getting traded in NFL Superstar mode
After creating a player and signing an agent, go to the draft and start the draft. You will probably be selected in the third round. If you do not like the team you got drafted by, then simulate the preseason. When the preseason is over go to your agent's office on the city map. Scroll down to "I demand a trade" and you will be traded to another team. If you dislike that team as well, then demand another trade. Be careful, as you can only demand two trades until the next season.
Go to Performance Institute in NFL Superstar mode
To go to the Performance Institute more than once a week, do not go until the day of the game. Then, go and do whatever drill desired. Once you are done, leave the map and go to your schedule. Leave there, then go back to the map and you can do it again. This will allow your player to be very well prepared for the next game.
Increased stats in NFL Superstar mode
You can increase your Overall, Awareness, and Stamina in Practice mode by having your superstar get practice points by getting a big gain on offense or creating a big loss on defense. You also can get your stats up by getting an agent that has access to the Performance Institute and get a medal on it:
Bronze: 3 points
Silver: 4 points
Gold: 5 points
Note: Your stats are not permanent. They will be reset after each game. You must do the practices and Performance Institute again to get them back up.
In NFL Superstar mode, make sure to choose your answers to interview questions wisely. The answers will affect your personality type and most endorsement companies want a player with a more conservative personality type, such as "Team Leader" or "Professional".
Mansion in NFL Superstar mode
Win the Super Bowl twice and get into the Pro Bowl each time to get a mansion.
More control in draft in NFL Superstar mode
Save the game before the draft. If you do not like the team that drafted you, reload your saved game and try it over again until you are drafted by a desired team.
When you get the movie deal for Muligan O'malley, in the last scene your line says something then "Mt. Dortiz"; however the correct answer is "Ms. Dortiz".
New apartment in NFL Superstar mode
If you win a Super Bowl and are inducted to the Pro Bowl, you will move into a new apartment.
Get a "Gold" in one of the following tasks to unlock the corresponding pennant:
#3: All-Madden Chase and Tackle drill
#16: All-Madden Pocket Presence drill
#28: All-Madden Coffin Corner drill
#36: All-Madden Ground Attack drill
#40: All-Madden Precision Passing drill
#52: All-Madden Swat Ball drill
#58: All-Madden Clutch Kicking drill
#96: All-Madden Trench Fight drill
#194: Chase and Tackle drill
#195: Ground Attack drill
#197: Clutch Kicking drill
#199: Swat Ball drill
#208: Pocket Presence drill
#209: Trench Fight drill
#210: Precision Passing drill
#211: Coffin Corner drill
Since the punt blockers do not block very much, it is better if you select the "Punt Block" formation instead of any other punt return formation. With the "Punt Block" formation, the punting team will not be spread out, therefore allowing your blockers to somewhat block for you; which in turn will give you more time to field the ball and have a little space to start something big.
Sign created player with high attributes for three years
When creating a player, make him a free agent. Then, get his attributes up to 75 and sign the player for any team desired. Go to that team's rosters and edit his attributes; you can make it as high as 99. When you go to Franchise mode with the team the player you created is on he will have a contract for three years.
Switching teams in NFL Superstar mode
Once you become a key player to a team, you can upgrade to a much better agent. Then, after two seasons you can resign with almost any team you desire.
Play as the Eagles against the Ravens and score a touchdown with T.O. by diving in the endzone. He will do a Ray Lewis dance in the endzone as a celebration.
