Without further to do, let's play some football! 2) CONTROLS This section is separated into two control schemes--One for the classic controls (i.e., the controls you normally use on the console) and one for touch screen controls. 2.1) CLASSIC CONTROLS BEFORE THE SNAP: OFFENSE Y+ Y, X, L or R--Call an audible B Button--Cancel an audible L or R Button--View the field X, then reciever button, then touch screen--Change hot route X, then reciever button, then R--Change the smart route A Button--Snap the ball RUNNING/RUSHING Control Pad--Run A Button--Sprint B Button--Spin around Y Button--Dive L or R Button--Juke left or right X Button--Truck Stick B Button--Fake Snap L+R--Juke back PASSING X Button--Bring up/deactivate passing symbols A, B, Y, L and R Buttons--Pass to receIver Control Pad--Scramble Y Button (After crossing line of scrimmage)--Slide A Button (After Whistle blows)--Hurry-up offense RECEIVING B Button--Select receiver closest to ball X Button--Jump/Catch pass Y Button--Dive BEFORE THE SNAP: DEFENSE Control Pad--Reposition player A or B button--Select player R Button--Secondary Shift Y+Y, X, L or R--Call an audible B Button--Cancel audible L Button--Defensive Line Shift Y Button--Defensive Playmaker AFTER THE SNAP: DEFENSE Control Pad--Run B Button--Select Defender closest to ball A Button--Sprint Y Button--Dive X Button--Jump/swat the ball KICKING CONTROLS X Button--Call a fair catch Control Pad--Return kick A Button--Activate Kick Meter 2.2) TOUCH SCREEN CONTROLS BEFORE THE SNAP: OFFENSE A Icon--Call Audible Cancel Audible Button--Cancell audible L/R+ Control Pad--View field Hot Route icon--Hot Route Hot Route Icon--Smart Route Touch the touch screen--Snap the ball RUNNING Control Pad--Run (For right-handed players) A, B, X or Y Buttons--Run (for left-handed players) Slide down-left/down-right--Spin Slide up--Dive Slide left, right or down--Juke left, right or back Slide Up-left/Up-right--Truck Stick PASSING Touch Receiver icon--Pass to specific receiver Slide on touch screen--Aim throw to specific spot Pass Icon--Cancel Receiver icons Slide up (after crossing line of scrimmage)--Slide BEFORE THE SNAP: DEFENSE Control Pad--Reposition player (For right-handed players) A, B, X, or Y Buttons--Reposition player (For left-handed players) Touch on-screen player--Select player SS Icon--Secondary Shift A Icon--Call Audible Cancel Audible icon--Cancel audible LS Icon--Defensive shift AFTER THE SNAP: DEFENSE Control Pad--Run (For right-handed players) A, B, X or Y Buttons--Run (For left-handed players) L Button--Select defender closest to the ball Slide Left--Sprint Slide down--Dive Slide up--Jump/swat the ball KICKING CONTROLS Touch Kick Meter--Activate Kick Meter X Button--Call a fair catch 3) GENERAL STRATEGIES Here are some general strategies to help you win quite a few football games: 3.1) ON OFFENSE 1: Run the ball as much as possible. This can be used for running for a short gain, getting a first down on 3rd-and-1 and, most importantly, keep the clock running to eat up as much time as possible. 2: Only pass the ball if it's 3rd and 10, you're trailing by at least a touchdown or to stop the clock by throwing an intentional incomplete pass. 3: Mix up different play styles as much as possible, as the defensive A.I. will never be fooled by the same play consecutive times 4: If you're trailing by 8 points and you score a touchdown in the last two minutes of the game, try running the ball in for a two-point conversion instead of kicking the extra point. 3.2) ON DEFENSE 1: Try mixing up different defensive plays as well, as the opposing A.I. will frequently switch between passing and running plays. 2: Go for the interception as much as possible. This is best done with the A.I. controlling your defenders 3: If you're giving up a ton of yards on consecutive plays, try shifting defensive lines to close whatever holes are exposed. 4: Here's a fun way to play defense--Select a goalline play, usually a blitz play, and call as many audibles as possible to completely confuse the offensive A.I. Note that this is not 100% foolproof and is prone to backfire. 3.3) ON SPECIAL TEAMS 1: After most touchdowns, it is best to kick the extra point. You may have to adjust the angle of the kick to ensure the kick is good. 2: Don't go for field goals from farther than the 40-yard line. Also note that when the field goal distance is measured, it accounts the actual length of the end zone, which is around 10 yards itself. 3: To improve your chances of returning a kickoff or punt for a touchdown, use juke moves whenever possible to shake off would-be tacklers on the kicking team. 4: If you have to punt, try punting it out of bounds to ensure your opponent doesn't return it for an easy 6. 4) PLAYER LIST The following sub-sections are separated by alphabetical order of the team name and this order: QUARTERBACKS HALFBACKS FULLBACKS WIDE RECEIVERS TIGHT ENDS TACKLES GUARDS CENTERS DEFENSIVE ENDS DEFENSIVE TACKLES OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS INSIDE LINEBACKERS CORNERBACKS FREE SAFETIES SECONDARY SAFETIES KICKERS PUNTERS Also, the players' attributes, including salary for the 2008 season, are listed along with the players, for reference. 4.1) CHICAGO BEARS QUARTERBACKS R.

Included in this room are the returning mini-game from last year's Madden title known as "paper football", plus three brand new minigames--Hit the Hole, Playbook Flash and Last Minute Miracle 5.1) PAPER FOOTBALL AUTHOR'S NOTE: The following section has been excerpted from the Madden NFL 08 DS guide, also written by Robert Johnson. 8) PAPER FOOTBALL STRATEGIES New this year to the DS version is the paper football minigame. The rules of paper football are simple--You must score points by flicking the ball to the edge of the table to score a touchdown. Once a touchdown is scored, the player has a chance to kick a P.A.T. To elick the ball, you have to slide the stylus across the ball. The faster you slide it, the farther the ball will go. Keep in mind that a ball that is partially off the table is considered on the edge of the table and results in a touchdown. To kick the ball, repeatedly tap the stylus in the red box to fill up the meter, then kick on the small cirlce to kick it through the uprights. The ball is turned over to the other player when you use all four downs or the ball falls completely off the table. The best way to master this mini game is to play against the computer, then use what you learn against human opponents. 5.2) LAST MINUTE MIRACLE This particular minigame is football with a turn-based strategy twist. The situation here is you're mimicking the Music City Miracle in the 1999 AFC Wild Card playoff game, where the Tennesee Titans returned a kickoff in the last 30 seconds of the game for the winning touchdown and effectively stealing a guaranteed win for the Buffalo Bills in a dramatic fasion. You begin the minigame with three lives or "downs" and you have to move the ball down the field for a touchdown. Beware of the red linebackers, who will do everything to stop you in your tracks. Each time the blue player with the ball is tackled, you lose one life or "down". Run out of downs and the game ends. Each touchdown you score is worth 7 points and you get an extra down. In order to get the ball down the field, you have to pass it to another blue player either laterally or backwards. Note that forward passes are illegal moves in this minigame. A general strategy is if you run out of blue players to throw the ball to, try using juke moves to create some breathing room. Keep in mind, however, that using a Juke Move will cost you a down, as a penalty, so it is best to only use them in the most dire of situations. 5.3) PLAYBOOK FLASH This is a minigame that fully utilizes the touch screen and stylus of the DS. When the game beings, there will be drawings of certain plays, but will only appear for 3 seconds. The objective is to memorize the pattern and draw it correctly, using the DS Stylus as a pen. For each play you get correct, you'll earn 1 point, times the number of lines you had to draw for that play. Once you get consecutive plays drawm correctly, the number of lines to draw increases, up to four per play. Getting one play wrong will reduce the number of lines to only 1. The game is over when it has run out. 5.4) HIT THE HOLE This minigame is every running back's dream of scoring the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl. Using the DS stylus, you move the running back around the tacklers and into the end zone for a touch down. Each touch down you score will earn you 7 points. Scoring a second consecutive touchdown will double the point value. A third-straight straigt touchdown will net you triple points. The fourth straight touchdown and any more consecutive ones wll earn you 4X the point value of the touchdown. Should the running back get tackled, the next touchdown you score afterwards will only be 7 points. 6) IN CLOSING I hoped you enjoyed this year's guide as much as I have written it. With this guide and any future updates to it, you'll be able to get to know more about your football video game. 7) CONTACT INFORMATION If you have any questions or comment, drop me a line at the following e-mail address: Rej72380@aol.com 8) LEGAL INFORMATION This guide is the copyright (c) 2008 of Robert Johnson.
