Control anyone when it is about 3rd and 15 for the opposing team. (Ken Norton Jr. or Gilbert Brown are good choices). Call the CB BLITZ in the NICKEL formation. As soon as the ball is hiked, move your man to follow one of the receivers. Then, if they pass to him, stay approximately five yards in front of the WR and jump. Done correctly, your player will intercept the ball. This strategy requires practice to be used correctly.
Another Easy way to score when on defense
Another method is to call the PUNT RETURN play in the SPECIAL TEAMS formation when the opposing team is punting. Then, control someone fast (such as Deion Sanders) on the right side of the ball. When the ball is hiked, go down the side and get past the blocker. Jump to block the punt. Also press tackle and nail the punter for the sack. This strategy also requires practice to be used correctly.
High rated kicker and punter
Go to "Create Player" and create a punter or a kicker. Set their leg strength all the way up and use the rest of your points on anything else, usually tackling or hands. Save the player, and he will have a rating of 98. A kicker with that rating can kick up to a 57 yard field goal.
