When I go out and rent the game, I'll let you know.

For Madden people the best way to explain it is that he has a very low awareness.
it took me 5 times to beat them and i just did it yesterday. i had no success running, just kept passing to each side of the field. on defense they constantly do the hurry up so you really have to know your audibles for the different sets they line up in. I beat them 27-20. I was ecstatic. Now i'm not looking forward to the next supreme team.
The best way for me to beat the Dummies required these few tips...
Offense
Run the play clock all the way down before you run your play
When choosing plays, I just used the Madden suggestions and made quick short passes
By running the play clock all the way down, I was able to limit the Dummies to just 1 or 2 possessions in the 1st half
Defense
Use the madden suggestions, but don't choose that play, just the package
Find a play that will blitz all the linebackers and maybe one safety
Before the snap, back your coverage up. They will get a few passes in, but generally, they don't have time to go deep and keep throwing it underneath. Also, by doing this, I was usually good for 1 or 2 interceptions a game. Games were low scoring and close, but because of the possession time, I would come out on top.
However, I have know idea how to beat the Glaciers and would welcome any tips!!
On defense against the dummies blitz your two outside linebackers (hopefully you have two stud edge rushers). I run a 3-4. Blitz at least 2 players every down. They run a hurry up and their play selection sucks so keep blitzing them. The qb will throw errant passes. On offense Spread them out. In this league the only real weakness I found was going 5 wide and reading zone or man to man then finding mismatches. I would hope that throughout all your wins getting here you developed a stud QB and a decent corps of WRs and/or TEs. If you have LT run misdirection plays like counters and you'll have success.
Managed to barely beat the dummies, 13-12 after getting an interception in the end zone on the last drive. Anyone have any idea how to play against the Glaciers? It's so hard to run an offense when defenders keep disappearing.
It's the other way around for me. It took me about 3 times to beat the Dummies but only 1 to beat the Glaciers. They aren't that good with the deep ball though.
I cant find this option to play anywhere... i have 08 on xbox 360 and it is under the cheats and strats... is it even on 360?
I don't have 360 but I can tell you its under the game modes on PS2, look in the spot where franchise is on the 360, if it isn't there it may not be on the game.

Today I beat the Dummies and the Glaicers. For the Dummies just follow pkroper22's advice, but for the Glaicers, I use Madden Cards. The Best to use is a gold fumbulitis. if you use that card, you have a good chance at winning.
The glaciers were difficult for me, I beat them barely 42-38. The Dummies were not that hard, but they had me down in the first quarter because I wasnt expecting them to go for 2 on every TD. The final score of that one was 37-32. I thought the Tridents were rather easy, and I beat them 31-10. All I did was throw quick slants to Wes Welker and Deion Branch with the occasional deep ball to Chad Johnson and they were toast. Any tips on the Decievers?
For the Decievers, you need to cover the whole feild, if you don't, you will give up an easy TD. Don't throw stupid throws, because they will most likely return it for a TD. And finally dont try to use the hit stick or strip the ball, because they will break the tackle with ease.
Geez, fantasy challenge is really easy in the first three leagues (newbie league, black and blue league, and powerhouse league)
I've tried playing the first team the dummies which specifically are the dummies you play in the skill drills but way better.
I've played them at least 8 times and the closest score I've gotten to beating them is 29-27 but can't seem to beat them.
any suggestions?
wait to you get to the glaciers these guys disappear on kick off, 3rd and short/long.....as far as the dummies...sidelines qiuck dump passes and a few long passes....if you can stop them on 3rd down or get a INT and score you should be able to beat them....i did it 23-30.....the next team is a killer....the disappearing will piss you off

True....but what kills me is the disappearing acts on kick off that how they score on me the closest I got was running the clock down.....go for three....I left 1 sec on the clock...when I kick the ball....the runner disappearred and the clock ran out! 23-29. I had to stop playing.....I almost threw my controller

To beat the Glaciers (I just did it 10 mins ago) you need a team with two fast receivers and a reliable underneath guy. Also, you need a strong armed quarterback. I used the Patriots, but teams like the Colts and Giants would work too. Find an offensive play that has your two deep threats run deep routs and your slot run underneath. Randy Moss usually gets behind the coverage pretty easily. Just air it out and let him fetch it. Also, inside running plays can usually get about 4-7 yards, and eventually you'll break lose for a big gain. If you score, YOU MUST go for 2. On defense, your on your own. Just be a lineman, and try to run in the general direction of the invisible person. Usually, the computer-controlled playes on your team will make the play. On passes where they go deep, dont go for the interception. You need two strong corners, as well as a good coverage free-saftey. I have Champ Baily, Asante Samuel and Bob Sanders. Let the do the work for you. As for special teams, your best bet is to kick it out of the back of the end zone or very deep. If that is not possible, squib it or kick it as high as possible. If you are forced to punt, punt it out of bounds. If you get them to punt, do a regular return and have one of your wide guys come into the veiw. Then, rush at the kicker and most times you will block it. That's pretty much it... if it works tell me...
