Madden NFL 2003 Cheats (Xbox)

Get a gold rank in any event on the All Pro, Pro and Rookie levels.

Use the following trick to get any player in a trade without the other team rejecting. In
the franchise mode, create a player as a quarterback and move his attributes until you
get to 99 points. Then, put his injury and stamina down to 0. This will not change the
attribute point level. Sign him as a free agent then trade him to any team for anybody
you want. When you play the team he is playing for, after a couple of plays he will
either become injured or will be taken out of the game for his weak stamina. No team will
refuse your trade and you will have any player you want on your team.

Get a gold rank in P-Coffin Corner Punt on the All-Madden level to unlock Kevin Butler.

Note what kind of quarterback you are passing with. If you have someone such as Kurt
Warner, you may have better accuracy if you set your feet, then throw the ball. If you
have someone like Donovan McNabb, you might have better luck throwing on the run.

To make a receiver go to create player and create the player as a quarterback. Give the
player very low passing abilities (zero) and very high catching and ball handling levels.
The player will cost very little because his quarterback skills are bad. You will have to
sign him as a quarterback but use him as a wide receiver. His salary will never go up
because he will not play as a quarterback. You can also change his number and attributes
in the edit player screen. You can also make a dirt cheap fullback by eliminating his
receiving skills.

your first. This is a very good way to get young players on your already good team.

Create a player and trade him to the team that you are doing the drill with. Make sure
that the created player is playing the position of the person that you are trying to
complete the drill with. For example, Ronde Barber is the corner back in the Defensive
Swat Pass drill. If you create a corner back and make his attributes all 99, put him on
the Buccaneers and make him the starting or number one cornerback. Then, he will do the
drill. You may do this with any person on any drill. You may also make the people who you
are going against in the drill "sorrier". If you know their names, go to their attributes
and turn them all the way down.

One way to lower a team's overall salary is to cut certain players' salaries. You can do
this with players that have low attributes but high salaries. To do this, go to "Rosters"
and select "Edit player". Select a player on the team that has a low overall rating
(anything under the low 80s) and has a high salary. When you choose to edit the players
"Attributes", you will notice that his salary decreases. Do not change anything in his
attributes and exit out. You have now made your first budget cut of the season.
