3 ON 3 NHL ARCADE ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE

 

NOTE: For every single achievement, you must wait until the game is over. Achievements do not unlock until the end of the 4th period (Why 4? I don't know) or the set amount of goals.

Win a game without being scored on

*Sounds simple, but with goals so easily being scored, this might be one of the more difficult achievements. Set the game to first to 5 goals, and just make sure you don't give up any bad passes for breakaways. (This can be boosted with a second controller or online)

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/-1/VR/0oCLiGJhbC82FQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wL0IAAAAA5+fn-X5V5A==.jpgSuper Speed (10)

Score two goals with a Super Speed Powerup in one game

*Pick up the icon displayed in the achievement and effectively score 2 goals in one game.

(This can be boosted with a second controller or online)

Score two goals with the Super Shot Powerup in one game

*Pick up the icon displayed in the achievement and effectively score 2 goals in one game.

(This can be boosted with a second controller or online)

(Go to Juggernaut for scoring tips)

Score two goals while an opponent is frozen in one game

*Pick up the icon displayed in the achievement and effectively score 2 goals in one game.

(This can be boosted with a second controller or online)

(Go to Juggernaut for scoring tips)

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Wr/+K/1oCLiGJhbC9HFQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wLzMAAAAA5+fn+aW-QQ==.jpgDouble Up (10)

Score two goals using the Double Score Powerup in one game

*Pick up the icon displayed in the achievement and effectively score 2 goals in one game. Although the powerup gives you two goals, you need to score twice (4 goals) in one game to unlock.

(This can be boosted with a second controller or online)

Hit a player over the boards

*Very simple in theory, but hard in execution. When an opposing player is skating along the side boards (mid-ice), cross check him, and he'll go flying over the boards. To cross check, use the Skill Shot controls on defense or you can simply hit http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png (NOTE: Using http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png doesn't always cross check. It also slashes and trips, which will not work in executing a hit over the boards.).

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/lU/YT/1oCLiGJhbC8wFQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wL0QAAAAA5+fn+TxGjg==.jpgTrickster (20)

Score a goal using a trick move

*To use Trick Moves, just press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png. Trick moves are; flip the puck up and bat it out the air, do spinning toe drag shots, and pick the puck up on your stick and score from behind the net. The first two can happen best on breakaways (Although having a teammate hit the goalie before you execute almost always works), but the behind the net one served easily no matter the amount of people around. Just a matter of luck. Trick Shots are at their best when using the Skill Stick (Controls a la NHL 08 and 09) and pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png at the appropriate time. Not easy to pull off, but very possible.

(Also, if you pick up the Laser Shot power-up, this makes the Trick Shot even more affective. *Thanks for the tip BreadHead*)

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Fl/0J/0YCLiGJhbC9DFQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wLzcAAAAA5+fn-iZdDQ==.jpgLet's Play (10)

Play an online game

*I don't think I need to explain.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/i7/HO/04CLiGJhbC9NFQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wLzkAAAAA5+fn-OGxkA==.jpgRace to Victory (20)

Win a game to at least 15 goals

*Customize the game so that it's first to 15 goals wins. Simply play the game, score 15 goals, and achievement unlocked. This can be done online with a friend or with a second controller.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/bK/2x/04CLiGJhbC83FQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wL0MAAAAA5+fn-J6tdw==.jpgTeam Player (50)

Play a quick ranked match with 2 guests

*You can do this legit with two friends as guests, or you can do it by yourself with regular controllers or Guitar Hero ones. Simply have your Guests join you and select Quick Ranked Match. You don't have to win. Just play.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Sl/xw/0ICLiGJhbC81FQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wL0EAAAAA5+fn-19cUQ==.jpgScore Big (20)

Score at least 10 goals in one game

*Set the game up for first to 15 goals wins, so you can nail this one out with Race To Victory. You can boost by doing it with a friend online who lets you score, or you can just plug a second controller in and beat on your guest. Just make good use of powerups and Trick Shots.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/MK/zI/0oCLiGJhbC9BFQUXXFJRFjc1L2FjaC8wLzUAAAAA5+fn-eesKw==.jpgJuggernaut (10)

Score two goals with a Big Player Powerup in one game

*Pick up the icon displayed in the achievement and effectively score 2 goals in one game.

(This can be boosted with a second controller or online)

Powerups make goalscoring a little easier. Make good use of the Skill Stick controls for dekes, use http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/x.png to spin out of danger, pass to open teammates for one-timers, check the goalie (If you are playing with a friend), and use http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png if you can't get a good shot off (Trick shots somehow magically put themselves in the net at unexpected times, so if in desperation, give it a whirl.).

I went ahead and started a guide, because I downloaded it on my PS3 just to give it a whirl. The instructions I already posted are based off of what I could do in the PS3 version, which I assume is the same exact thing as the 360. I hope this comes as a help to those who need it. Otherwise, it's a pretty simple achievement list.

 

EDIT: Controls and everything are identical to PS3, and the achievement guide is officially finished. Boosting for everything works.

Can all the achievements be boosted online? / Done with a second controller?

 

Since I've only played the PS3 one, I'm not too sure. That's why I only gave tips on how to do everything properly. Once the game comes out on Wednesday, I'm sure we'll all be figuring out the boosting pretty fast. But seeing as the achievements don't mention anything against it, and the game only has a Play Now and Online option, I'm imagining that it can easily be boosted.

 

This is only a guess, and I'll definitely post on this guide once I find out.

 

EDIT: Yes. It is definitely confirmed to work for boosting, both offline and online. I got every single achievement by myself (Well, with the exception of having someone to play online with for the online matches).

Knowledge of boosting is now known.

Im pretty sure you will need 2 extra control for this one dude. Cuz how can three players play on 1 control ?

 

Anyway cool guide and will be sure to use it when i get this game 2moro :)

 

Thanks for the compliments, bro. :D

 

And, for the record (Because this is how the PS3 one is as well), guests are only players coming off of the same console. So, if I am the main account, you need two other controllers to be guests on your console. No other way around it.

 

You could always borrow a friend's controller. That's what I used to do.

This is definitely a very easy game to complete. I've got the majority of the achievements by using two controllers.

To be honest you don't even need to use two controllers lol. Ive got 11/12 in just under an hour and will get team player on saturday.

 

Also i praised the guide but am now thinking is a guide even needed lol ?

After I got all 12 Achievements in like 45 minutes, I questioned why I even made it myself. hahahaha

Yeah, it looked like a fast 200 to me. The 2nd controller deal like the other sports games helps.

Very easy 200, took 3 games including online. Load up 3 controllers for online and load 2-4 controllers for offline depending on how much you want the CPU to interfere with the game. Trickster was pretty easy hitting 'Y' in front of the net.

For the Double up achievement does it only need to be used once for the achievement or twice?

 

The description confuzzles me, plus I only need that for 200.

 

I just fixed this in the guide, and I meant to do it last night before I went to bed. You need to score twice (4 goals) for the Double Up achievement.

what the hell I used a 48hr trial so I can get the two achievements and when I try to sign in a guest it says to use a profile with a valid membership. Do the two guests need to be other accounts with gold??

 

No. You just need to sign them in as guests. As long as your membership is Gold, you're fine.

I tried again and attempted to sign them in as guests and it is still giving me the same error. I may pick up a 1 month gold card and try again.

 

The only thing I can think of is that a "48-hour" code is like a "guest"-trial in itself. Maybe it only gives you the privilege of playing online by yourself, since it says in the title "48-Hour Trial". I remember they used to be "48-Hour" Gold Cards, but now they aren't. That might play a reason why.
