NOTE:

ALL Achievements require the following settings:

 

- Difficulty: All-Pro

 

- Quarters: 5 Minutes

 

Make sure to check it every time you start a new game.

This is done by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png after selecting your teams. You will be taken to the Options Screen. Press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png to get to "Game Settings" and check if the difficulty is set to "All Pro".

To check the quarters, press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png once more to get to "Advanced Settings" and check if the quarters are set to "5 Minutes".

 

If you are planning on getting the player specific Achievements in Franchise Mode, make sure to set Difficulty and Quarters to fit the requirements above when starting it.

 

- No Co-Op: this means that you are not allowed to play with 2 players on 1 team

 

 

NOTE 2:

Please be aware that I will be using a 2-controller method for MANY ACHIEVEMENTS.

CONTROLLER 1 will ALWAYS be the person that is trying to get the Achievement, CONTROLLER 2 will ALWAYS be the person that’s helping.

 

If you do not have 2 Controllers, SengIV wrote a 1-Controller-Only Achievement Guide Add-On HERE

NOTE 3 (IMPORTANT):

To make getting the Achievements easier,

 

1. Enable "Unlimited Rewinds", done so by going to the "Advanced Options" section when readying up in "Play Now" (the screen where you can change jerseys, set the difficulty, etc.) and setting the rewinds to "unlimited".

 

2. Additionally, make absolutely sure you DON'T USE THE "SUPERSIM" OPTION.

Supersimming even one play will corrupt your progress and the Achievement will not unlock.

 

GENERAL ACHIEVEMENTS:

 

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/+H/4s/04CLiGJhbC9FFQQaXFJRF0M2L2FjaC8wLzEAAAAA5+fn-AN+4w==.jpgSprint 2 Minute Drill 30http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Win after being behind in the final 2 minutes of a game. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

 

Go to „Play Now“ and start a game with any two teams you want.

The absolutely easiest way to do this is with 2 controllers.

 

Let a friend of yours control the other team and make sure you (Controller 1) are behind when the 2-minute warning in the 4th quarter comes up (this stops the time, as it lets you know there are 2 minutes left in the game).

 

Now run this defensive play with Controller 2 (the team that is up on the scoreboard):

 

"By Formation" > "Special Teams" > "FG Block".

 

All the defensive players will put pressure on the QB here.

 

Normally, this play is designed to block Field Goal attemps, therefore sending all the players rushing in to try and block the attempt.

We're going to exploit this play for many Achievements - it will save you a lot of time going through every player and assigning him to put pressure on the Quarterback, because as said before, the "FG Block" play has every player putting pressure on the QB from the get-go.

 

When Controller 2 selected the play, Controller 1 can snap the ball – meaning start the play - by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png .

Assuming Controller 2 picked the "FG Block" play, your Wide Receivers will be wide open for a pass – take the ball to the endzone for the Touchdown and let the clock run out afterwards.

If you want to get this Achievement without having to wait until the clock reaches the last 2 minutes of the game, you can try the Madden Moment "Championship #6" (found under "Quick Modes > Madden Moments" from the Main Menu), where you have to repeat the Steelers' last minute touchdown from Superbowl XLII (make sure to not let the Cardinals win the game, though).

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock after you finish the game, don't be alarmed if it doesn't pop up immediately after you've fulfilled all the requirements.

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

Win at Lambeau Field in freezing weather. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

 

For this Achievement, you will have to win at Lambeau Field – the Home of the Green Bay Packers – in snowy weather conditions.

You don't have to play against the Green Bay Packers, though.

 

Plug in 2 Controllers, go to „Play Now“ and let Controller 2 select any team as the home team – be aware, the home team is always on the RIGHT side of the screen.

Move Controller 1 to the LEFT side – the Away Team.

Now press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png to be taken to the Options Screen.

Press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png two times to get to "Advanced Settings", scroll to the bottom and select "Heavy Snow" as Weather.

 

Let Controller 2 (Home Team) get beaten by Controller 1 (Away Team) and this Achievement will be yours.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock after you finish the game, don't be alarmed if it doesn't pop up immediately after you've fulfilled all the requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

 

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/6J/3W/1YCLiGJhbC83FQQaXFJRF0M2L2FjaC8wL0MAAAAA5+fn+vmd8w==.jpgThe Gang's All Here 50http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Trigger a gang tackle with 7+ players. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

Once more, the best way to do this is using 2 controllers.

 

Create a 400lb Running Back, put him on any team and max his stats to 99.

 

Start a Play Now game and let Controller 2 be the team you put the 400lb RB on and let Controller 1 play as the Pittsburgh Steelers.

 

Make sure that the 400lb Running Back is the main back to run your plays.

 

Now make sure Controller 1 (Steelers) is playing as the defense while Controller 2 is playing as the offense.

 

Let Controller 1 pick the defense "By Formation" > "Quarter" > "Prevent" and Controller 2 pick "By Play Type" > "Run" > "Inside Handoff" > "HB Dive".

 

Before you snap the ball, let Controller 1 press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png and UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png to put your defense into back-off coverage. Afterwards, press and hold http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png and press the button above the Running Back to spotlight him.

 

Then let Controller 2 press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png to snap the ball and don't press any buttons to let the CPU control the Running Back.

 

Now your defenders in back-off coverage will run towards the RB and tackle him, hopefully triggering a 7-man gang tackle.

 

This has proven to be the fastest and most prolific way of obtaining this Achievement.

 

Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that this strategy will work on your first try.

Since a 7-man gang tackle, or gang tackles in general, are mostly random, there is no way to manipulate the game to increase the frequency of these gang-tackles to occur; so please be aware that this Achievement could take hours, maybe even days to unlock.

Thanks to t4nd4r for this strategy.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

Win a fumble pile-up in the end zone for a TD. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

The best way to do this is once more using 2 Controllers.

 

Let Controller 1 (the one that needs the Achievement) pick the Cardinals, for functionalities sake.

 

Let Controller 2 pick the Browns. Also use this chance to make sure your difficulty is on All-Pro and turn rewinds to unlimited/infinity to make life easier.

 

Now set up the start of the game so the Cardinals (Controller 1) kick off to the Browns (Controller 2).

 

Catch the ball and run out of bounds at the 4(or 5) yard line.

 

Now let the Browns (Controller 2) pick a Punt, found under "By Formation > Special Teams > Punt".

 

With the Cardinals (Controller 1), pick a punt block, found under "By Formation > Special Teams > Punt Block".

 

Now with the Browns (Controller 2) flick the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png downwards ONE TIME.

DO NOT FLICK THE STICK UPWARDS.

 

This will give the defense enough time to run in and block the kick.

 

Don't touch a single button after that, let the CPU take care of the rest.

 

As soon as two or more players dive for the ball, a fumble mini-game will trigger.

The idea of this mini-game is to tap the buttons shown and get the needle into your half of the bar.

To make things considerably easier, have Controller 1 press the right buttons while Controller 2 is pressing the wrong ones.

This Achievement will also get you the "Fight For The Fumble" Achievement.

Thanks to pieroglyphic for suggesting this method!

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

 

 

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/uO/Pa/04CLiGJhbC9ECBsFG1lTWUM2L2FjaC8wLzIwAAAAAOfn5-z146Q=.jpgNano 50http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Sack the QB before he can hand the ball off. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

 

Once more a perfect situation for using the 2 Controller method.

Controller 1 will be controlling the defense, Controller 2 the offense.

 

Before you start, make sure you turn "Offsides" OFF in the settings, done so by pausing the game, opening "Settings > Penalties" and decreasing the Offsides slider to 0.

 

Your assigment here is that you SACK the Quarterback, which means that you tackle him for a loss and bring him to fall BEHIND the „Line of Scrimmage“ - which is where your players are lined up before you press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and start the play. The Line of Scrimmage also is the point any running player or the ball has to cross to make it a positive gain of yardage for the Offense.

 

There is one little catch – you have to sack the Quarterback BEFORE he can give the ball to the Running Back.

 

Let both Controller 1 and 2 select any team they want.

 

In game, let Controller 2 select his play „By Play Type “, select „Run“ , then „Outside Handoff“ and select „HB Stretch“.

This way, the QB will hand the ball to the Running Back, so he can take the ball to the outside and not run through the middle.

Hence, Controller 1 will need to tackle the Quarterback before he reaches the Running Back.

 

Since "Offside" is turned off, you can take your defensive player across the Line of Scrimmage and position him in a way that he can tackle the Quarterback before he can reach the Running Back; just be sure not to touch ANY players when positioning your defender, as this will result in a penalty - even if you have turned off "Offside".

 

Once you’ve done so, let Controller 2 snap the ball by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png. If you’ve done everything right you will get to the Quarterback BEFORE he can give the ball to the Running Back, tackle him by pressing DOWN on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png.

 

It might take a little practice and more than one try, but that’s the best way to do it.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

 

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/ks/jS/1oCLiGJhbC83CxsFG1lTWUM2L2FjaC8wLzFDAAAAAOfn5-n9yI4=.jpgPocket Monster 80http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Stay in the pocket for at least 10 seconds. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

 

The pocket is the space a Quarterback drops into when he snaps the ball (starts the play).

Meaning if you press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png, your QB snaps the ball and drops back into the pocket, where he is being protected by his offensive line to give him enough time to make his reads and throw the ball.

 

Once again, we will do this with 2 Controllers.

 

Controller 1 will be controlling the offense, Controller 2 the defense.

 

Let Controller 1 select the play "By Play Type" > "Pass" > "Standard Pass" > "Curl Flats", and Controller 2 select any defensive play.

 

Now let Controller 2 assign all of his defensive players to drop back into zone coverage, done so by circling through players pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png and assigning each player by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png.

 

Let Controller 1 snap the ball pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and the defense should drop back into zone coverage.

Wait 10 seconds and throw the ball to one of your receivers, then run out of bounds to unlock this Achievement.

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/+N/uQ/0oCLiGJhbC8xCxsFG1lTWUM2L2FjaC8wLzFFAAAAAOfn5-2-2+Q=.jpgSuper Bowl MVP-like 50http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Catch a TD to take the lead with under 30 seconds left. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

 

Once more, we will be using 2 Controllers.

 

Go to „Play Now“ and start a game with any two teams you want.

Controller 1 will be the offensive team, Controller 2 will be the defense.

 

Make sure there are less than 30 seconds left in the 4th quarter; also check if you are trailing Controller 2's team by not more than 6 points - any bigger number will not result in you taking the lead.

Then use a timeout and let Controller 1 run any pass play you want, and Controller 2 any defensive play you want.

Like in „Sprint 2 Minute Drill“, let Controller 2 select the play "By Formation" > "Special Teams" > "FG Block".

 

Afterwards, let Controller 1 snap the ball, pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png .

If you’ve done everything right, your Receivers will be wide open. Throw the ball to any of them to score the Touchdown and unlock the Achievement.

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

Complete a pass to an unintended receiver. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

 

The best way to do this, once more, is using 2 Controllers.

 

Controller 1 will be controlling the Offense, Controller 2 the Defense.

 

When selecting your teams, let Controller 1 pick the Steelers and Controller 2 any team.

 

In game, select a Bunch pass play with Controller 1, found under „By Formation“ > „Gun“ > "Bunch Wk" and pick any.

 

In this set, you have enough receivers that can grab the ball.

Now set all of them to slants, done so by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to get into the route menu, then press the button assigned to your receiver and press RIGHT on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png.

Repeat this with all 3 receivers.

 

Let Controller 2 select "By Formation" > "Special Teams" > "FG Block".

 

When you're both ready, let Controller 1 snap the ball pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png.

 

Now tap one of the three buttons assigned to your three receivers to lob a ball in there. While the ball is in the air press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png twice to switch to another receiver than the one you just threw the ball to and press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to catch the ball.

Thanks to KSizzle420 for this strategy.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

 

 

CO-OPERATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS:

Complete a pass for a TD with your partner in an Online Co-op game. 5 min qtrs, All Pro

 

This Achievement is as simple as it gets.

 

Go to "Xbox Live" and scroll down to "Create Session". Create an "Unranked Co-Op" session and make sure you set the quarters to 5 minutes and the difficulty to "All Pro".

 

Now all you have to do is score a touchdown by throwing a pass to your partner.

 

If you are having problems with this Achievement, you can always ask for help in the Achievement Trading Thread here.

This way you might find other players that are willing to play with you.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Kx/s6/0oCLiGJhbC9FCBsFG1lTWUM2L2FjaC8wLzIxAAAAAOfn5-0VGzc=.jpgHey Buddy! 50http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Complete a lateral with your partner in an Online Co-Op game. 5 min qtrs, All Pro

A „Lateral“ requires the pass thrower to throw the ball backwards or parallel to the line of scrimmage.

In other words, the ball cannot be thrown forward.

Unlike a forward pass, which must be thrown behind the line of scrimmage, a lateral pass can be thrown anywhere on the field.

 

The button for throwing a lateral is http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lt.png.

In an Online Co-Op game, wait until your opponent kicks off the ball.

Then, catch it either yourself or let your buddy catch it. As soon as you've caught the ball, make sure you partner and you are beside each other and let the person carrying the ball press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lt.png - Lateral completed.

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

Thanks to vSnOwMaNv for suggesting this method.

Complete an online Co-Op game. 5 min qtrs, All Pro

 

Not really much to say about this Achievement.

Go to "Xbox Live" and scroll down to "Create Session". Create an "Unranked Co-Op" session and make sure you set the quarters to 5 minutes and the difficulty to "All Pro".

 

Do not disconnect and finish the game.

 

Achievement unlocked.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

PLAYER SPECIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS:

 

NOTE 1:

You are going to want to make sure of some things to give yourself an advantage that is going to be very useful in later situations going for these Achievements.

 

NOTE 2:

All player-specific Achievements also unlock if the CPU meets the listed requirements for each Achievement, except "Larry Stickyfingers", which has to be done by the user.

 

(Thanks to jjbadnell for this information.)

 

- Adjust the Sliders

In the Main Menu, go to "My Madden", open „Settings“ and push all the "CPU Skill" sliders way to the bottom.

- Turn off the Play Clock

Done so by pausing the game, opening "Settings" > "Game Options" and turning off "Play Clock".

 

- Turn Offsides OFF

In the Main Menu, go to "My Madden", open "Settings" and after that "Penalties" and decrease "Offside" to 0.

This is the most important thing, as it will help you get some Achievements with far less effort and much faster than trying to get them without it.

- Lower the player ratings

If you're having big trouble getting any player specific Achievement, you can always decrease the player's ratings to increase your chances of getting the Achievement.

In the Main Menu, go to "NFL Rosters", open "Player Management", search for your player, press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and select "Edit Player".

Now press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rb.png three times to reach the ratings screen.

 

The ratings you need to lower for each player would be as follows:

 

Kurt Warner / LaDainian Tomlinson - Carrying

Peyton Manning / Tom Brady - Throw Accuracy/Throw Accuracy Short/Mid/Long

Randy Moss - Catching/Jumping

Antonio Gates - Strength

Bob Sanders - Tackle

 

You don't need to increase Larry Fitzgerald's stats in order to have better chances, he is already rated 99 in all categories that matter for his specific Achievement.

 

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/J2/RP/1YCLiGJhbC9AFQQaXFJRF0M2L2FjaC8wLzQAAAAA5+fn+mBkPA==.jpgAll Day No Way 40http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Record 3 tackles for a loss on Adrian Peterson. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

Adrian Peterson is the Running Back for the Minnesota Vikings. He wears number #28.

 

We will use 2 Controllers for this Achievement.

Controller 1 will be playing as any team he wants, Controller 2 will be playing as the Minnesota Vikings.

 

Once in game, back out into the pause menu, go to "Settings", select "Game Options" and turn "Play Clock" off.

 

Then make sure Controller 1 is playing Defense and Controller 2 Offense.

 

Now, only select Run Plays with Controller 2, preferrably outside run plays so the defense can get to Peterson faster. If you’re playing with a friend, make sure that he tells you which play he is running and in which direction it will go.

 

As for Controller 1: Since Offsides are turned off, you can cross the Line of Scrimmage and just wait for the Quarterback to hand the ball to Adrian Peterson. As soon as he does you will be right next to him, tackle him pressing DOWN on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png.

The tackle has to be for a loss, meaning Adrian Peterson cannot cross the Line of Scrimmage under any circumstances.

 

If you are doing it the way I just described, you will have no problem, though.

 

Repeat this 3 times.

 

Once you have 3 tackles for a loss, make sure the game clock is running and let each quarter run out. Since you've turned off "Play Clock", you will not get penalized for it.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock after you finish the game, don't be alarmed if it doesn't pop up immediately after you've fulfilled all the requirements.

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

 

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/5i/xN/14CLiGJhbC9MCxsFG1lTWUM2L2FjaC8wLzE4AAAAAOfn5-hiLPo=.jpgMr. Not-So-Perfect 40http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Intercept a Tom Brady pass. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

 

Tom Brady is the Quarterback for the New England Patriots, he wears number #12.

 

See „Buzzkill“ for a detailed description.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

Intercept a pass intended for Randy Moss. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

 

Randy Moss is the #1 Wide Receiver for the New England Patriots. He wears number #81.

 

You will have to intercept a pass intended for him, meaning that you (the defender) catch the ball instead of him.

 

This will also get you the „Mr. Not So Perfect“ Achievement, since you will be intercepting a pass from Tom Brady intended for Randy Moss.

 

Once more we will be using 2 Controllers.

 

Controller 1 can play as any team he likes, Controller 2 will have to pick the New England Patriots.

 

Once in game, let Controller 2 set up a pass play.

Pick any Randy Moss-centered pass play „By Player“ > „WR“ > „Randy Moss“ and pick any.

 

Once you’ve done that, let Controller 1 pick any defensive play.

 

Now make sure that Controller 2 sets Randy Moss' route to a "Go Route" to let him run straight ahead. This done by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to get to the route menu, then press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to select Randy Moss and press UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png.

 

Additionally, let Controller 1 go through every defensive player pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png and let each player drop back into zone coverage, done so by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png.

If you’ve done everything right and snap the ball pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png, the defenders will drop back into zone coverage while Randy Moss will run straight ahead.

 

Now let Controller 2 tap http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to throw a deep pass to Randy Moss. Make sure to press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png again after the throw to control Randy Moss and move him away from the marker where the ball will be.

 

If this worked, all defenders will head over to the place where the ball will drop. Now only press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to control any defender and press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to catch the ball and intercept it.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

Tackle Antonio Gates inside the 5 yard line. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

Antonio Gates is a Tight End (TE) for the San Diego Chargers. He wears number #85.

 

Once more, we will be using 2 Controllers.

 

Controller 1 will be controlling the defense, Controller 2 the San Diego Chargers (Offense).

 

Set up a play anywhere on the field and let Controller 2 pick the play "By Play Type" > "Pass" > "Standard Pass" > "Curl Flats".

 

Let Controller 1 set up any defensive scheme.

Once you’re set, let Controller 1 pick the play "By Formation" > "Special Teams" > "FG Block".

 

Once you’re ready, let Controller 2 snap the ball pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and throw the ball to Antonio Gates #85 (he will be on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png button). Once Gates made the catch, run all the way to your opponent's endzone and stop between the 5-yard line and the endzone, waiting for Controller 1's players to come and tackle you.

Force Kurt Warner to fumble on a sack. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

Kurt Warner is the Quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. He wears number #13.

 

You will have to sack Kurt Warner (as described in Achievement „Nano“) and force him to fumble, meaning he has to drop the ball, too.

 

This achievement is very simple, aside from the randomness of a fumble.

 

Go to „Play Now“ and let Controller 1 pick the San Francisco 49ers, Controller 2 pick the Arizona Cardinals.

 

In game, let Controller 2 run any pass play he wants, just make sure it’s no run.

Then, let Controller 1 pick any defensive play.

 

Select the Middle Linebacker (MLB) Patrick Willis (#52) - the reason I picked him is that his "Tackle" and "Hit Power" ratings both are in the high 90's, which will make it easier for us to strip the ball off Warner.

 

Since "Offside" is turned off, you can cross the line of scrimmage and position yourself in a way that you can tackle Warner the instant he snaps the ball.

As soon as Controller 2 snaps the ball, have Controller 1 try to strip the ball off Warner by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lb.png. You can also press DOWN on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png to tackle him very hard, but it probably won't be as effective as trying to strip the ball - although using Willis, the hard tackle worked better for me.

 

If Warner doesn’t fumble, you will have to try again until he does and maybe even lower his "Carry" rating.

 

Eventually, you’ll get this Achievement.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

Stiff arm or juke Bob Sanders. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

 

Bob Sanders is the Strong Safety for the Indianapolis Colts. He wears number #21.

 

This achievement is fairly easy to get, and it is one of two player specific Achievements where you have to play as the Offense in order to get it.

 

Once again, we will be using 2 Controllers.

 

Set up a game in „Play Now“. Let Controller 1 choose the New England Patriots, and Controller 2 choose the Indianapolis Colts.

 

Before you do anything, let Controller 2 pause the game, go to "Coaching Options" > "Depth Chart", hold down the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lt.png and flick the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png UP or DOWN to get to "Defense".

Then scroll to "PR" (Punt Returner) holding down your http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png and scrolling down with the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png and replace T.J. Rushing with Bob Sanders.

 

In game, let Controller 1 choose a play „By Player“ > „WR“ > „Randy Moss“ > Moss’ route will be highlighted in red, make sure he is on the right side and choose any play.

 

Now, let Controller 2 pick the play "By Formation" > "Special Teams" > "FG Block Return".

Since Sanders is designated Punt Returner, he will be the only player in the backfield.

 

Make sure Controller 2 does not control Sanders and snap the ball, pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png.

If you’ve done everything right, Randy Moss will be wide open for a pass. Press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png as soon as you’ve snapped to throw the ball to him.

 

Keep on running and as soon as Bob Sanders comes your way, press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png to stiff arm, or LEFT or RIGHT on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png to do a juke move.

 

I deliberately used Randy Moss, because he is a very athletic receiver, so you should have no problems juking or stiff-arming Bob Sanders.

Just to be on the safe side, I would advise you to do a juke, though.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

Get 10 user catches (no drops) with Larry Fitzgerald. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

 

Larry Fitzgerald is the #1 Wide Receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. He wears number #11.

 

As always, start a game in „Play Now“, with Controller 1 selecting the Arizona Cardinals while Controller 2 can select any team he wants.

 

Before the first play, make sure to turn off the play clock and "Fatigue", done so by pausing the game, opening "Settings" > "Game Options" and decreasing "Fatigue" to 0 as well as turning off "Play Clock".

 

The way this works is the following:

Everytime you throw the ball to Larry Fitzgerald, you will have to press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png after you throw to get control of him. As soon as you did this, you can move Fitzgerald with the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png and just catch the ball.

 

Let Controller 1 select a pass play „By Player“ > „WR“ > „Larry Fitzgerald“. As above with Randy Moss, Fitzgerald’s routes will be highlighted in red.

I would recommend selecting a route that’s easy to run – the best would be Fitzgerald running straight ahead.

 

Let Controller 2 choose the play "By Formation" > "Special Teams" > "FG Block".

 

Now let Controller 1 press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to get into the hot route menu, then press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to select Larry Fitzgerald and press UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png to let him run a "Go Route" (straight ahead).

 

When you're done, snap the ball pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and lob the ball to Fitzgerald by tapping http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png.

 

As soon as the ball is in the air, press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png again to control Fitz. You will see a marking where the ball is going to land.

 

Make absolutely sure you keep on running ahead and are in control of Fitzgerald while doing so, also make sure you keep holding the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png (this is the "Turbo").

You have to run a couple of yards while you're in control of Fitz, otherwise it doesn't count as a user catch - if you press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png right after you've thrown the ball with the QB you won't have a problem with this.

 

You don't have to press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to catch the ball - Fitzgerald will automatically catch it.

All you have to do is run to the marking where the ball is going to land.

Repeat this play 10-12 times (just to be sure make it 12), then make sure that the game clock is running and just let the time run out in each quarter.

Since the play clock is turned off, you will not get penalized for this.

 

I can assure you that this method works and will get you the Achievement, I have tried several strategies with 3 different accounts and this one worked.

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock after you finish the game, don't be alarmed if it doesn't pop up immediately after you've fulfilled all the requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

Intercept Peyton Manning 3 times. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

 

Peyton Manning is the Quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts. He wears number #18.

 

This Achievement works the same way as „Buzzkill“, where you had to intercept a pass intended for Randy Moss, only now Controller 2 can pass to any receiver he wants.

 

Again, we will be using the 2-Controller method.

 

Controller 1 can play as any team he likes, Controller 2 will have to pick the Indianapolis Colts.

Once in game, first make sure to back out into the pause menu, go to "Settings", select "Game Options" and turn "Play Clock" off.

 

Then, let Controller 2 pick any pass play while letting Controller 1 pick any defensive play.

 

Now make sure that Controller 2 sets the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png-receiver's route to a "Go Route" to let him run straight ahead. This done by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to get to the route menu, then press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to select him and press UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/ls.png.

 

Additionally, let Controller 1 go through every defensive player pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png and let each player drop back into zone coverage, done so by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png.

If you’ve done everything right and snap the ball pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png, the defenders will drop back into zone coverage while your receiver will run straight ahead.

 

Now let Controller 2 tap http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to throw a deep pass to your receiver. Make sure to press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png again after the throw to control your player and move him away from the marker where the ball will be.

 

If this worked, all defenders will head over to the place where the ball will drop. Now only press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to control any defender and press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to catch the ball and intercept it.

Repeat this 3 times.

 

Once you have 3 interceptions, make sure the game clock is running and let each quarter run out. Since you've turned off "Play Clock", you will not get penalized for it.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock after you finish the game, don't be alarmed if it doesn't pop up immediately after you've fulfilled all the requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

Force a LaDainian Tomlinson fumble. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no Pro Bowl, no co-op)

 

LaDainian Tomlinson is the Running Back for the San Diego Chargers. He wears number #21.

 

Once again, we are going to do this using 2 Controllers.

 

Let Controller 1 pick a team of his choice, Controller 2 will have to pick the San Diego Chargers.

 

This Achievement is similar to „Go Bag Some Groceries“, but this time around you will have to force LaDainian Tomlinson to fumble.

 

Set up an outside handoff run play „By Play Type“ > „Run“ > „Outside Handoff“ > „HB Stretch“ with Controller 2. This way the Quarterback will give the ball to the Running Back so he can run to the left or right of the field and not through the middle.

 

Now Let Controller 1 pick any defensive play.

 

After you’ve done this, make sure you know which direction LaDainian Tomlinson is headed, you can check so by pressing and holding http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rt.png and pressing UP on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png on Controller 2.

 

After checking this, let Controller 1 move his defender in the exact direction where Tomlinson is headed.

Since "Offside" is turned off, you can cross the Line of Scrimmage and position yourself at a spot where you can tackle Tomlinson right after he gets the ball.

 

Now let Controller 2 snap the ball pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png. If you’ve done everything right, LaDainian Tomlinson will be heading your way. If this is happening, try to strip the ball off him pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lb.png and hope that he drops the ball.

You can also try to tackle him very hard pressing DOWN on the http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png, you'll just have to try which one works better for you.

If Tomlinson doesn’t fumble after multiple tries, you should decrease his "Carry" rating.

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements and that you are NOT playing the Pro Bowl.

 

SECRET ACHIEVEMENTS:

 

Thanks to Marshal Rambo for giving us these!

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/uO/Pa/04CLiGJhbC9ECBsFG1lTWUM2L2FjaC8wLzIwAAAAAOfn5-z146Q=.jpgWell Played. Really. 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Throw the ball away on 4th down. 5 min qtrs, All Pro (no co-op)

 

You won't need 2 Controllers to do this.

 

Start a game by going to Play Now and selecting any 2 teams.

 

As soon as you're playing as the offense, make sure you don't get the ball across the first down marker three times (the yellow line that you have to cross to get another set of 4 tries).

You can do so by simply waiting for the defense to tackle you.

 

As soon as you've reached 4th down (your fourth try), you have to throw the ball away to unlock the Achievement.

 

Select any pass play, snap the ball by pressing http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/a.png and instantaneously run to the left or right.

This is important as your Quarterback has to be outside of the "box" for the throw-away to count.

 

To make this easier: before you snap the ball, imagine a straight line that goes down from the offensive liner farthest to the left and right (from the guys in the middle where your Quarterback is standing) - you have to cross this imaginary line.

 

As soon as you're out of said "box", click http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rs.png for the Quarterback to throw the ball away.

 

NOTE: This Achievement will unlock immediately after you've fulfilled the necessary requirements.

 

NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Ny/IJ/0oCLiGJhbC9GCxsFG1lTWUM2L2FjaC8wLzEyAAAAAOfn5-0mIis=.jpgMature Newbie 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg

Create a player or Superstar at the oldest possible age.

 

In the Main Menu, go to "My Madden", select "Creation Zone", go to "Create Player" and simply set the Birth Year to the earliest preset possible - which is January 1, 1954.

 

Press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/start.png to move on, select "Keep Player Without Saving" and the Achievement will unlock.

Create a team from Springfield.

 

In the Main Menu, go to "My Madden", select "Creation Zone", go to "Create New Team".

Now select "Team Data", open "Info Editor" and leave everything as it is, just change the team's city to "Springfield".

Press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/b.png to back out until you get a message saying "Do you want to save the changes to your team?".

 

Select "Accept" and the Achievement will unlock.

I think in the achievement sack the quarterback before he can handle the ball of you forgot to say put off sides off assuming you can do that. Also for the unintended receiver couldn't you have two receivers line up right beside each other and do streaks down the field then throw to the one and catch it with the other by throwing a lob pass?

I clarified that right before the "Player Specific Achievements" section begins... I'm gonna highlight it so it is easier to see, thanks!

 

As for the unintended receiver stuff:

 

I guess you could, seeing as it basically has the same outcome as our method. On the other hand, I can't think of any way to switch to another receiver than the intended one... is that even possible?

 

The name of the Achievement, "Wounded Duck", has me guessing it just has to be somewhere along the lines of the QB getting tackled while throwing...

I was playing NCAA and was attempting to see if the running back fumbled a lot when diving straight into the defender and almost every time I attempted this he fumbled. I think this is a good sign for Madden.

 

Nice.

 

Although this shows that EA didn't really work on improving a lot of glitches and mistakes from last year, it's nice to hear this about the achievements.

Also Like I said earlier I'm getting the demo on Thursday. I will test this out in the demo and give you the results when I play the demo. Again I don't think this achievement will be very hard. You might even be able to create your own player and make him horrible and put him at running back.

Sweet, thanks a bunch!

 

Yeah, I guess creating 1 really horrible RB and a some LB's/CB's or Safeties with maxed out stats will work, too!

Anyways, I'm looking forward to your results!

Ha Ha and I'm really looking forward to the demo, not to brag though, I really think this is going to be the best Madden We've seen for the next gen consoles.

im aware every madden game has been able to use two controllers, but why write a guide avodicating it when you don't know 100% if it will be able to be used or not?

 

as for owning the game/rules.

I wouldn't have posted the guide if Snowman wouldn't have been so impatient and tried to get his guide out before mine so he could be first (in fact, I told the community that I was working on a massive guide, and I even conglomerated with SengIV).

it's always the same around here, you can't post that you're working on a guide, because there will always be at least one moron that has to be faster than you to get credit.

 

as for the guide.

I'm 100% sure you will be able to use 2 controllers, and I checked all the gameplay videos available until now (which are many) if certain plays I used are still going to be in the game.

 

of course I am going to correct the guide if anything in there is wrong.

 

Plus, don't you need to own the game to write a guide?

 

In my opinion, this does not fully apply to EA Sports games.

Since the gameplay is basically the same every year, there isn't much you won't know.

I just thought of this. I think an easy way to get a lot of these player achievements would be to obviously trade them all to one team that way you can possibly get all of them in just one played game. I'm saying possibly because two of them are required to make two different players fumble those will be the trickiest.

 

Sounds good, but I guess we'll have to see if it actually works and more importantly, pays off.

 

Of course you can knock down almost all player specific achievements in one game, but you'd still have to change sides and use strategies.

 

With the guide method as it is right now, you can back out as soon as you get the Achievement and start your next game, which isn't too much to do :)
