Ring Points

Hint by EaglesDudeNFL on August 20, 2007  |  report this hint

If you are trying to get a higher ring, play mini games. They are fun, they help your gameplay, and it gets you a lot of ring points in a verry shost amount of time. it got me to a level 2 ring in no time! I think ring points are only availabe on XBOX 360. Im not completely sure if its on PS3 or not. If it is, its only on 360 and PS3. XBOX is the most popular console for Madden, overall. The ring points are also a good way to tell if the person you are playing against online is good, bad, or simply legendary. Next time you play a onling game of Madden on 360, check out the persons ring points who your playin against. It really does tell you what kind of player he is. Even if you not online, look at all the ring points stuff. Its very challengeing. Even I am only half way through ring 2.

Picking your team

Hint by jdaily1112 on September 08, 2007  |  report this hint

its all about how you play on offense

If you do mostly deep balls play as either the Bengals or Colts

If you do mostly short passes do Rams or Colts

If you do mostly bootleg throws be the Eagles, Titans, or Falcons

If you do outside the tackle running there is no other team close to as good to use as the Chargers

If you do power rushing be the Chargers, again they are amazing for running

If you do both passing and rushing be the Colts

Higher Gamer Level, Ring Progress & Gamerscore!!!

Hint by reignofknowled on May 21, 2008  |  report this hint

First you have to go to franchise. Start a new one, then pick all the teams by pressing LB button. After that sim everything( Preseason, Season, Playoffs, Superbowl, & Probowl)Then quit and the game will ask you if you want to save select no. You will return to the main menu. You should notice immediately that your ring progress is higher. Also, if you check your gamer level & gamerscore it should be higher as well. Finally save your profile only so that all your hard work doesn't go to waste.

How to do some of the '07 stuff in this game

Hint by knipknup on November 25, 2007  |  report this hint

To control a blocker on a run play, press B until you select the man to control, then LB. Once you snap the ball with A, you will be controlling the blocker. The play will resume with the run. Once you are ready to revert control back to the runner, press B.

To see routes, hold the RT and press the RS left or right. Very annoying that this control was trumped for the lame skills view, but oh well.

some of the easiest way to get ring points is mini games or telling your friend to let you own him.

man vs zone

Hint by kevbil on January 15, 2008  |  report this hint

when you are playing against a QB that stands in the pocket you should always use man to man defence. If you are playing a scrambling QB like vince young you should use zone. that is so the linebacker stay only 5-10 yaerd from the QB
