NCAA Football 2005 (GC)

Easy Touchdown
On offense, choose any pass play. If you have good protection on the line, press Y so that the quarterback will run. Run to left of the play on the outside then start running toward the touchdown. The wide receiver blockers stay with the wide receivers; all you need to worry about is the line. You can outrun them easily. This works about 90% of the time.


Even Teams
Go to Play Now on the main menu. Move the C-stick to the right or the left. On the Matchups on the side, it should say even teams.


Easy Challenge Points
By setting the overall game difficulty to 'Heisman' then starting a dynasty then switching the dynasty difficulty to 'Junior Varsity', you can easily defeat opponents and complete challenge tasks. However, you will be rewarded as though you are playing under the 'Heisman' setting, effectively giving four times the points for pennant purchases.


Blocking Punts
To give yourself a better chance to block punts, substitute a back-up reciever (or any fast and tall player) at one of the outside line positions. Just before the snap, move selected player just outside the line. Rush at the snap and jump in front of the punter. This will often result in a blocked punt or even a tackle if you get back there fast enough. Occasionally a running into the kicker penalty will be called if you jump on top of the punter.

Avoid 15 yard penalty on user controlled extreme celebrations
Once the celebration starts, if you feel that you are about to receive a penalty, pause game play. You will not receive the 15 yard penalty. This is useful after touchdown celebrations, so your extra point is not from about 20 yards out.


Avoid discipline
The game randomly has a student act up and requires discipline. After each game, save your dynasty. Then, select the next game but make sure you have it checked as if you wish to play it, even if you are going to simulate it. If the discipline window appears, exit out and reload your dynasty. Go to that game again. Make sure you have the game checked to play so that the controller selection screen appears or else the CPU will take care of discipline, which is bad if you did not put any points into it. Then, exit out and simulate when the game is clear. With this, you can make any cupcake team a contender in no time.


Easy sacks
Choose your fastest lineman and make him the number one DT. Use the 4-3 defense, take control of the DT, and line him up to the outside shoulder of the weak side DE (away from the TE or FB). The lineman will rush into the backfield untouched at least 80 percent of the time. When on defense, choose the 4-4 formation and select the Fire Green" play. Before the ball is snapped, shift your LBs to the outside of the formation and take control of the OLB that has no TE or RB aligned on his side of the formation. If the offense is in a formation with no TEs or RBs, then take control of the faster of the two OLBs and rush the QB for a quick sack.
