Question} Is there any way to get infinite Attributes for Create-A-Player?
Answer} Yes there is. The way you get them is right when you turn on your SNES Hold the
R Button. Now keep holding the R button but normally Go through all the license & logo screens.
Now keep holding the R & L button untill you get to the Game Setup Screen. Then you should hear
"EA Sports".
Question} Are there any hidden teams?
Answer} Yes there are 2 teams. Complete the Process like you did for the Infinite Attributes.
The 2 teams ar ethe EA Sports Team & Black Pearl Team
