Madden NFL 2005 Franchise / Owner Mode Cheats

If you go to free agents you can sign the best available player (all salary no bonus, otherwise you\'ll get stuck with cap penalties) then trade him for the best draft pick you can. Usually a player in the high 70's will get you a 5th rounder a 80's will get you a fourth. Do this enough and you'll be able to package those picks later for higher picks on draft day.

Remember to trade picks with a team not expected to play well during that particular year so you can get the highest possible draft selection.

When in franchise mode, before the trade deadline in week 6 you can trade your 1st round pick for the team who is currently in last place for there 1st, 2nd and sometimes even 3rd round pick. This works best if you are 5-0 and the other team is 0-5 but fool around with it and you'll see what I mean.

Create a player that is a lineman, make his age 45 and have his stats to 99 you can trade him for any draft pick and he still isn't a big enough factor to change the outcome of a season for the other team

When in a season you can make a player. Make all stats great except for injury and stamina and toughness. Then go to free agents and sign him. Now you can trade him for anybody you want to. (in my case, a draft pick and a good rookie) the created guy will get injured and will not play.

While in the Franchise Mode go to Veiw Rosters then pick the player you want. Then go to Edit Player Then Change His Position. Like I Pick Peyton Manning I change his position to (WR) Wide Receiver. Then His Overall Will Go Down. Then Go To Trade Player and Trade him for one of your Worst wide receivers or a different player.

Put your advertising all the way up for home games, then before simulating the rest of the week after you played, turn it all the way down. It will not charge you for the money.
