I didn't figure all of this out; I just put it together. Hope it is of value to you.

Q1: WHY IS DAN PATRICK’S MOUTH OUT OF SYNC WITH THE VOICE?
Remove your memory card and replace it again after the intro. It will now be in sync.
Q2: HOW DO I AVOID THE DROPPED PASS?
1. Avoid throwing into coverage. Hit a guy who is all alone or can outrun a defender.
2. Give the WR/TEs time to recover before you start the next play. Check his stamina bar and let it charge back up before the next snap.
3. The QB should set his feet before throwing.
4. Make sure the QB takes the proper number of drop steps. Here’s how you can tell:
If an offensive play starts with :
50: the qb will take a 5 to 7 step drop
90: the qb will take a short 3 step drop (pass the ball
quickly).
100: playaction pass!
200: the qb will bootleg or rollout.
example: 90 Y/TE Speed Cross, the qb should take a short 3 step drop and deliver the pass quickly , all the receivers are running short crossing patterns and will be prepared to catch the ball not "drop" it.
5. Take control of the WR and press the “catch” button.
6. Set the catching, coverage, and/or passing sliders 5 notches to the left.
Q3: HOW DO I EFFECTIVELY PASS RUSH / GET SACKS?
1. Take control of a DL, immediate charge in to the left or right of the defender and use the special moves repeatedly. Hold L1 or R1 (depending on the direction you want to go) and hold X before the snap. Charge in after the snap and just before you make contact with the OL release X and push one of the other buttons to do a special move.
2. Control a member of the secondary. Hold L1 or R1 (depending on the direction you want your linemen to charge in) while you drop into coverage. Your CPU controlled linemen will use special moves to get to the opposing QB.
3. Blitz the QB by controlling an LB. Make sure the DL uses the “FAN” formation and charge in between the DL men using your special moves.
Q4: ANY OTHER DEFENSIVE TIPS?
1. Choose the right play. If you do not you will get burned. For example, if you blitz when the CPU has 4 or 5 WRs he will most likely complete the pass.
Q5: HOW DO YOU GET REALISTIC STATS FOR SIMMED GAMES?
1. Play on any minute setting you like. When you sim other games, do it with 5 minute quarters. Then change it back to whatever setting you like when you play your games.
Q6: WHAT IS UP WITH LAVAR ARRINGTON?
1. Arrington has a special use deal like Michael Jordan did back in the 90s so they can’t use his name. Simply release him to free agency, create him, and put him back on the Redskins.
Q7: CAN I EDIT PLAYER ATTRIBUTES?
1. You can edit everything except for the name, college, and years as a pro. On a related note, the college is randomly selected when you create a player so if you create a real player chances are his college will be incorrect.
Q8: HOW DO YOU BLOCK A PUNT / FIELD GOAL?
1. On a punt, move all of your line to the left side. Line your fastest player up on the left side as well and charge in. You will usually go unblocked and can stuff the punt. Don’t know about the field goal.
Q9: ANY TIPS TO IMPROVE THE RUNNING GAME?
1. Don’t use the speed burst immediately. Generally, this causes the defender to do the same thing. Wait for holes to develop and go through them. Your blockers will run the play as diagramed so follow them. Use the speed burst and special moves in the open field.
2. Hold the two shoulder buttons for a shoulder charge as you are about to be tackled. This will get you another couple of yards.
3. As set on the pro defaults, your runner will always be caught before making it to the end zone on any long play. Many people choose to lower the slider difficulty so only the really fast people (i.e those with speed and/or acceleration greater than or equal to yours) will catch you.
Q10: WHO WILL WIN THE SUPERBOWL THIS YEAR ?
1. Easy. My San Diego Chargers.
