Tips And Tricks ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Always Win the Coin Toss At the coin toss, repeatedly press START and you will automatically receive the ball. Automatic Throw When you're the offensive team, press A to snap the ball then don't touch anything. In a moment the CPU will automatically throw the ball to the widest open Receiver. Deion's High Step This can be done with any player when you score a touchdown. Run to the endzone. Make sure there are no defenders within 10 yards of you. Then after you pass the five yard line press and hold C-Up. If done right you will see the player put the ball in both hands and begin a high step frenzie. Random Team Select On the team select screen in Exhibition mode, select 'Home Team' or 'Away Team' and press and hold L and R at the same time. A randomly selected team will be locked in for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.
