Version 2.0
===========
If you are wondering why this was updated, i'll explain. For some odd
reason this very old faq of mine has gotten alot of positive feedback. I
do not know why, and i don't care to try and explain. Since so many
people may be reading this, i thought i'd make it look a little better.
That's not so bad, is it?

6. 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.

11. The End
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whew! Wasn't that an adventure? I don't like to get ahead of myself but
just to be safe i'll outline these rules crystal-clear for you. Read the
below paragraphs BEFORE e-mailing me and you'll probably get a reply
from me really soon. Don't follow them and you'll either be ignored,
blocked, or flamed. Now that all the small children are scared, it's
time to end this FAQ. C-ya later everyone...
Questions:
----------
I cannot stress enough how important it is that you
include the NAME OF THE GAME with the e-mail. 15 e-mails
a day get ignored simply because i cannot tell which game
they are for. Also any e-mail that looks a bit like this
will be disregarded:
"Hay Dude Wuz uhp? Lik Huw Du Yu Gat Dat Kee Mn?!"
It will be DELETED, get it?
Praise:
-------
Sure, send it in. It might even get a reply, as it's
usally 1/2 the mail i get worth responding to. Just
don't suck up and as for a favor in return - i hate
that.
Hate Mail\Flames\Unreadable Crap:
---------------------------------
Sure, send it in. I LOVE to paste your shi! on the
gamefaqs.com message board and laugh with the other
author's at you. Even us author's need to be
entertained every once in a while.
Website Related Junk:
---------------------
I will not work for your website, make your website,
be affiliated with your website, etc, etc. Most
importantly, you MAY NOT put this on your site or
even ASK me if you can. In other words, webmasters
MAY NOT E-MAIL ME. GET IT?
Advertisements:
---------------
Do NOT send me anything that is unrealated to video
games, i get enough of that from the perverts, fat
people, skinny people, and people with way too much
crap to sell.
