Tips
Play it better
- Michael Vick can outrun most defenders, so roll out and run when nobody's open.
- Use Playmaker control to change routes and blocking on the fly.
- Run the ball to set up play-action passes.
- Mini camp drills teach the basics and earn rewards.
- In Owner mode, set ticket and food prices to keep fans happy.
- Hot-route a receiver with the right stick before the snap to beat the coverage you see.
- On defence, take control of a safety or linebacker and sit in the passing lane instead of chasing the ball carrier.
- Short passes to the running back beat blitzes, since rushing defenders leave the flat open.
