Cornerback commentary
If you go to the rosters, you can edit a player's ranking skills. Set catching, carrying, and speed as high as possible for a cornerback and you can make him an effective wide receiver for your team. However, if he drops a pass Lee Corso will say " He's better at deflecting passes than catching them!" Note: Corso only says this if he was not already set as a receiver. The message usually is heard with a created cornerback put into the WR position.
Easier College Classics
To ensure your success at the College Classics challenges, start a game, then go to the AI Settings in the Settings menu (from the pause screen). Set all of the CPU's offensive and defensive skills as low as they can go. You can also change any penalties you'd like. We suggest turning off defensive pass intereference if the Classic you're trying to beat involve any sort of pass defense.
Easy EA Bio Growth
Once you create an EA Sports Bio, just leave the system on with the game running, and you will log hours to grow the levels of your EA Sports Bio.
Easy passing or rushing yards
To get easy passing yards, select Hail Mary - 5 wide. Scramble out of the pocket to the left (You have to do his at the beginning of the play). One of the Cornerback's or Linebacker's should commit to you and that leaves a receiver open or if they don't you can scramble easily for a first down. This should work at least every 8/10.
Easy punt blocks
To block punts, its easier to turn the offsides penalty off to get a head start on the offensive line. Choose a corner or a running back (someone that is fast enough and tall enough) and do one of the two; blitz the kicker and tackle him, which takes yardage off your opponent's rushing yards in the game, or jump and block the kick. This is not a play that works all of the time. However it usually works in the punt return play, and not the punt block play. Also, it never hurts to use a little play action once every series or so.
