Madden NFL '97

Strategy Guide

  • Hidden teams

    Start an exhibition game. Select any two teams and the controller options. Then, enter "TIBURON" as a user record name and press X to accept. Press Circle to return to the team select page. Now there should be 8 more teams available: All-Madden All-Time, 50's and 60's, All 70's, All 80's, AFC pro bowl team, NFC pro bowl team, EA Sports Team, and Team Tiburon. The hidden teams may also eventually be selected randomly by holding L2 + R2 in exhibition mode.

  • View FMV sequences

    When the black screen with the PlayStation logo appears during the loading of the game, hold R1 or R2. If you entered the code correctly, a screen titled "Cinematics" will appear instead of the title screen. Then, the winning, losing and Super Bowl FMV sequences may be viewed.
