NCAA Football 2005

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.

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.

Select the "My NCAA" option. Highlight the "Pennant Collection" option, then press A. Click the Right Analog-stick, then enter one of the following codes:

What A Hit pennant BLITZ

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.

To get good recruits you do as usual until week five. Then go to "All Prospects" and recruit as many five-star players as you can. There is a good chance the leftover players will commit to you.
