All Working Madden NFL 2002 Cheats - Playstation

Taunt your opponent
Before the snap, when you are controlling either a defensive player or your QB, press [L3]. Your player will taunt the other team.

Use Madden Cards indefinitely
You must have a profile made and loaded. Do the training mode in the Coaches Corner. Here, you earn "tokens", used a points. Whenever you complete a certain play, you earn tokens. Do every play that the game gives you. Try to do them correctly so you can earn as many tokens a possible. When you have completed each play, you can earn no more tokens. Save your stats in the profile. Then, go to the Madden Card section. In this section, make the selection under the Challenge Status section (should be in the middle). In here you can buy cards, just like baseball trading cards. Cards are bought in packs. Every card has a player (boosts stats by certain percent), veteran player that you can sign to your roster, Superbowl team (for example, the 1999 Rams), created team, new stadium, cheerleader cards, and cheat cards. The cheat cards are cheats, just like in Madden 2000 or 2001 (and some new cheats). You can buy the cards with the tokens you have just earned. Almost every card can normally only be used once. Save the profile after you have all the cards you want. You can activate all the cards you want, and after the game, most of them will be gone. However they will only remain gone if you save your profile after the game. First, save the game, but do not save the profile. Restart the game. Start the game again and load the profile. Then, select Madden Cards: Activate. If done correctly, all of your cards should be back to the amount that they were. Do this after every game and you should be able to use the cheats indefinitely. Note: This was done in franchise mode.

Easy Madden Cards
To get quick and easy Madden Cards, go to training mode and select Mike Martz's playbook. Go through it and earn as many cards as you can. Note: this can only be done once per profile.

Easy run
Choose any team, then pick select D. Jauron's playbook. Go to "Singleback Normal" and pick "HB Sweep". You will run to the left. Keep tapping [X]. Then, one person will appear, press [L1] to juke left. You will now be free to run. Make sure you are tapping [X] at all times.

Easy catches
Throw the ball to any receiver. After the ball has been thrown, switch into your intended receiver and let the CPU run the pattern. Immediately before the ball gets to you, tap [R2] + [L2]. If the ball is somewhat to the receiver, he will reach out and most likely catch the ball.

Onside recover
When you are kicking the ball go to onside, press [Circle] and when the red arrow appears, move the arrow to the center. Then, move it all the way down and try to kick it hard, It should kick a pooch very high. Press [Triangle] to jump and recover the ball.

Easy safties
When it is your turn to kick the ball to the other team, choose the play that says "Kick Left". Press the [Down] to make the red arrow go down all the way, then tap [Left]x2. When you kick the ball, make sure that it is slightly behind the line.

Good protection
To get good protection on kick returns, choose "Onside Kick" as your play. When you run back the ball, you will usually get past the 20.

Good defense
To get the best defense formation, go to 4-3 and select Safe. Before the hike, press [Triangle] + [Up], [R1] and [L1]. This makes your defense cover better, and have a better chance for a sack. To increase the odds, get control of your DL on the opposite side of the running back, judging its a pass play. Move him towards the other DLs to push everyone to one side. About three to five men will pass the T and G and sack the quarterback once in about four attempts.

Prevent CPU from running the clock
Use the following trick to prevent the CPU from running the clock out near the end of the game when they are ahead. Choose "Special - Punt Return". That will make the CPU audible their play to a pass play. Then, audible your defense by pressing [Square] followed by [Circle]. This way, your coverage men and returners will be covering wide receivers. Ysually your returners and coverage men are WRs so they will have better hands for interceptions than a regular CB. This may not win it for you, but will give you a lot better chance.

Long field goals
Long field goals can be made if you stop the meter. Then, when stopping the power meter, press [Triangle] + [X] at the same time. This is not guaranteed to work every time..

Best franchise mode players
The following players have a huge upside, sometimes growing over 10 overall points in the first year: Todd Heap, Lavaar Aringhton, and Champ Bailey.

Building a good team
Do not try to make a great team by trading all the good players to one team. Instead, go to "Edit Player" and make the people on the team better by increasing agility, speed, etc. Or, find all the good players with a 90 overall rating and a 90 import rating. A team of created players would work as well, if all players are above 90 in import.

Recommended playbook
To get the best playbook, select Tony Dungy. It has the best run play and pass plays. The best run play is Quick Toss, and the best pass play is Hail Mary. To prevent interceptions, hold [L2] when pressing [Circle], [Square], etc. This is called Route-Based Passing.
