Acknowledgements: NFL Fever 2002 has been a lot of fun to work on, and the process was

made enjoyable by the team of people that helped me. Jennifer, Terri and Scott did a great job

for me at Prima. Jeremy, David, John, and Kathie helped out at Microsoft by answering all of my

questions and getting me all the things I needed.

Congratulations go out to all of the members of the Elgin Youth Football League Heavy Weight

Bears on their undefeated regular season. Good luck to the Bears in the playoffs!

But the biggest help always comes from my family. Lisa, Michelle, and Michael are the most

special people in my life.

Are you ready for Xbox football? NFL Fever 2002 is set to take the Xbox by storm, and we've got it all covered for you in this strategy

guide. Want to know how to maneuver through Training Camp? We've got you covered. Want in-depth analysis of every play in the

game? We've got you covered there, too. Need help with Dynasty play? We're here to help. Every tip, trick, and piece of information

we could find has been crammed into this guide. So, practice up and get ready to dominate your friends.

You are in total control of the game.

When the pass is in the air, switch to the

nearest defender and leap for the ball.

With the instant control that NFL Fever

2002 provides, you'll be there to make

the key interception.

When running the ball, lower your

shoulder and blow right through the

tackler. Or, use a Spin Move, Stiff Arm,

or Juke to elude the defender.

Then, when you're on offense, air it out with

a quick strike down the field. With NFL

Fever 2002 you can make spectacular

leaping and one-handed grabs. You'll have

the best shot at coming down with the ball,

because you're in total control.

But what you really want to do is score, right? Well, select from one of more than 400 offensive plays at your fingertips and go to

work. Take the snap, roll out to the left, and air the ball out to the receiver who got behind the defenders. Perfect pass! You're in

the end zone for the score. Now it's time to celebrate.

Need a quick refresher on football?

Check out NFL Fever 's exclusive Chalk

Talk. You'll get tips and pointers straight

from the developers of the game.

If Chalk Talk isn't enough, and you need

something a little more "hands-on," try

out Training Camp. NFL Fever 2002 has

a series of drills you can run to improve

your skills.

www.primagames.com

Prima’s Official Strategy Guide

Do you need to brush up on your football skills? If so, NFL Fever 2002 has the perfect setup for you. Select Practice mode from the main

menu and then pick Training Camp. Just like in the real NFL, Training Camp is where the players brush up on their skills before the season

begins. But Practice mode isn't just for players who are new to console football games. It will help any player learn the ins and outs of the

control setup in NFL Fever 2002 . You can complete drills in running, passing, tackling, and kicking–everything you must know how to do to

compete with the rest of the teams in the league.

Running

The first drill in

the running por-

tion of Training

Camp is simple.

You must run

through the series

of cones in 15

seconds or fewer.

Use the analog

stick to follow the

on-field arrows

through the series

of cones.

The second drill, Turbo,

teaches you how to use

your runner's speed burst

capability. When you

press and hold the Turbo

button, a small lightning

bolt icon appears above

your player. This tells you

that the player is moving

faster than normal.

Watch how the color of

the lightning bolt fades the longer you hold it down. As in real life, your

players can give you a little boost from time to time, but they cannot sus-

tain the extra energy output. Follow the same path through the cones,

this time tapping the Turbo button to finish in the required 12 seconds.

The third drill is called Spin Move. As you run through the now-familiar series of to cones, a defender comes out and tries to stop you.

To get past your opponent, you must execute a Spin Move. As you see him coming toward you, hit the Spin Move; your runner will

slip right through the defender's fingertips.

Practice knocking over the defender with the Shoulder drill. Again you run through

the cones, and once again the defender comes out to stop you. But this time, you

must execute a Shoulder Charge to knock the defender over and keep on running. If

you time it right, you'll knock the defender on his back.

If you are too late in your Shoulder hit, the defender knocks you over. This costs

you precious time, and you fail the drill because there is no time to spare.

The last running drill is called Mixed. In it

you will use a combination of all the four

previous drills to reach the end zone. Now

that you have the running game under con-

trol, head on over to the passing drills.

www.primagames.com

Passing

Kicking

As with the running drills, there are five passing drills, but they essentially are the same. Press

the A button to hike the ball, then press the corresponding button on the controller (1, 2, 3, 4,

6) to complete the pass. Don’t worry about leading your receivers. Just follow the onscreen

instructions before each drill, and you will know which receiver you must throw the ball to.

The kicking drill is trickier than you might think. You must line up the kicking arrow with the zone you want to hit and then make the kick

by using just the right amount of power. This is a perfect drill, and we recommend practicing this drill often. Field position is very critical

in the game of football, and the ability to punt the ball into the corner (so the other team can't get a run back) is a very important skill to

learn. So is the ability to kick the ball shallow in an attempt to pick up an onside kick. Practice this drill until you can peg each of the six

zones in six tries.

Inside the NFL

Tackling

In the NFL, teams practice off and on

throughout the off-season through

minicamps that focus on the fundamentals of

football and the basics of that team's offense

and defense. Then, as the summer heat builds,

the teams open up the full-blown training camp

that prepares players for the preseason and reg-

ular season. Training camp in the NFL can be

grueling, with two practices a day mixed in with

videotape sessions where players look over their

own performances and that of their opponents.

You've exploded through the line

of scrimmage on the blitz and the

quarterback is in your sights. You

dive to make the sack but come

up with air. This situation has hap-

pened to you before, right? Well,

NFL Fever 2002 has tackling drills

to help ensure you won't let that

offensive player out of your grasp

again.

The first couple of drills have stationary targets. At first you simply run up and tackle the offensive player. In the next drill you must dive at

the player to bring him down. But the last drill is the big one: You must bring down offensive players that run away as you approach. Use

the Turbo button to get a boost of speed and the Dive command to trip up the offense. This drill will help give you the edge to ace out the

computer opponent or your friends in multiplayer action.
