NCAA Football 2003 Cheats (GameCube)

Enter the game settings screen and turn penalties off. Play a game. When you kick off to
the other team, do an onside kick. When you kick it, quickly jump on the ball. Note: This
may take some practice.

Go to the rosters and select any created or a regular team. Select the players. This will
give you a list of selections. Select ratings, and from there you can pump up your player.
You can also select the appearance and make him tall and big. It may take awhile, but you
could pump up your entire team. This requires patience. Choose practice mode to try the
team.

Make sure that your kicker can at least make it to the endzone on kickoff. Then, go to the
settings section and change all the penalties to off. When you kick it off, kick the ball
at maximum power, let the bar go, and press it again. You should kick it to the left of
the endzone out of bounds inside the ten yard line. Where it goes out of bounds at is the
location where the other team will start at.

At the end of every season in Dynasty, just after the last bowl game, save the game. Then,
go to create a prospect. Make your prospect as desired, then save the game again. Then, go
into players leaving. Note: You can skip this option if desired. Go to scouting. Go
directly to the 100 blue chips in the country list, and see if your prospect made your
team his first option. If not, back out all the way to the beginning, load the game, and
try again. You will usually get three to four different outcomes. Keep doing this
throughout the week you advance and you are still one or two on his list. Make sure you
save the game -- sometimes they will pick the last person on their list, or if your team
is already stacked, they will go to your rival with the weakest link in their position.

Create numerous profiles and get your five pennants at the beginning. Then, risk your
pennants against the other controller. Set the game to overtime and no wind, and kick a FG
with the profile you want to win the pennants. When the other team gets the ball, punt and
its all over.

Create your own juggernaut school/team. Edit the roster so your team is filled with studs.
Enter season mode with your team and under the preseason options, schedule as many 1-AA
teams as possible. Set your playing time for 15 minutes and enjoy the ride. If you have
the unlimited time-out cheat, you can use it here and stop the clock after any play
finishes in-bounds. This will give you more time to compile stats. Note: Doing this may
increase your game time to over 90 minutes (and possibly 120) of "real-time". If you are
going to use the time-out cheat, take a 15-minute break when you hit the half time point
of your game. Also, note that campus challenge points are awarded based on your level of
play. Heisman is the hardest level, but you also get increased value on your campus
challenge credits.

If you throw the ball to one of your receivers repeatedly, the defense will start double
teaming that player, making it nearly impossible to throw to him. When they start playing
extra defense on him, go to the depth chart and switch him to a different receiving
position. For example, if he was the first string, put him at second; if he was second
string, put him at first. He will still be in the plays, but on the other side of the
field with one single man coverage, so you can keep running up the score. Repeat this
again if they start the coverage. 

Choosing "All Right" in the Ace-Y-Twins package twice in a row can be helpful. The first
time, throw to your wide receiver. The next time, throw to the running back. He will
usually be open for a gain of five or more yards.

During season mode, change your schedule to play the number one ranked team, then the
number two ranked team, then the number three ranked team. If you cannot defeat them
during game play, switch over to their team and intentionally make mistakes and cause
safeties for the other team. Allow your original team to score touchdowns and to win the
game. You can go undefeated through the season.

If you would like to hear the announcers call out your teams names rather than their
numbers, all you have to do is put their roster in. Go to the options screen, go to "Edit
Rosters" and insert the names under "Player Info". After you insert them, play a game and
your team's names will be announced.

Go to the settings menu and then turn the length of the quarters to one minute. On average
for most teams, it takes more than one minute to drive down the field. If you get the ball
first, go ahead and score. Just hold the team you are playing. If you do not get the ball
first, hold your opponent or let them score. Then when you score, go for two. The simple
iso in goalline always works. Since the game will take no more than ten minutes, you can
get several trophies in an hour. 

Go to the settings menu and set it to overtime. Just stop the other team, win in
overtime, and you will get the trophy.

Change the game clock to one minute. Set the game on easy play. Kick an onside kick, put
the arrow to the ground and to your side, kick as weak as possible, then recover. Do this
after drives so you never have to play defense.

An easy way to win trophies is to set the game on overtime and junior varsity. All you
have to do is hold the opposing team and score a field goal or touchdown and you will win
the trophy. Save your profile to keep the trophy in your showcase.

Use the following trick to get you the ball 95\% of the time on kickoff. Set the game to
easy play with penalties off, then choose the onside kick. Move the kick off arrow all the
way left and down. You will hardly kick the ball -- only get the power to the end of the
yellow line (it is acceptable if it goes slightly past), then hit the button again and try
to get it in the yellow. When playing a human player, call for Kickoff Left/Right then,
which ever you choose, set to kick the ball in that direction. However, make it go as far
up as possible. After the ball is kicked your team will run to where the ball will land.
If you play the CPU, they will almost always call for a fair catch. The ball does not have
to touch anyone on the return team. You can run up and catch it (if the kick is powerful
enough).

Select Punt Middle as your play, then take your three middle lineman and bring them in
front and on each side of your returner (or get as close as possible). The other team's
offense will block men that are not there, and you will have three extra blockers.

To to make your opponent fumble the ball on kickoffs, keep kicking to the same player.
Eventually he will fatigue and start fumbling the ball in the third and fourth quarters.
You can also kick to the other side of the field and try to surprise the other receiver.
If you catch him off guard, he will sometimes fumble.

Select "Rosters" in the options menu, then "Edit Player". Select their ratings icon and
you can change every column up to 99.

Go to "Settings", then go down to "AI Settings". Put it on "CPU" and set their offense and
defense all the way down. Then, switch it to "Human" and put your offense and defense all
the way up. This should make plays very easy.
