Well this is my first achievement guide everyone so it might not be that great.

 

Abbreviations:

EASHL - EA Sports Hockey League

EASUHL/HUT - Hockey Ultimate Team

OTP - Online Team Play

Either join or create a club that has a custom jersey. Then just play and complete 1 game with them. When you first create a club, you immediately need to select a team name, logo, and jerseys. Simply change to colors before continuing. You will need at least 1 more player in order to start a club game.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/TE/yO/1oCLiGJhbC9GFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzIAAAAA5+fn+aFMVw==.jpgBoosted Up25 Complete an EA SPORTS™ Hockey League match with any one attribute boosted by +9

 

You will need to unlock the +1, +3, and +5 boosts for 1 attribute. For example; equip +1, +3, and +5 Agility to your player. To view your attribute boosts and equipment slots, enter the hockey shop.

An easy way to unlock boosts is to play EASHL until you have 10 total points, then go play Be A Pro and make sure you play 40 games (simulating until the last 5 min and joining in counts) and win the Stanley cup in your rookie season. You should have multiple attributes with all 3 boosts unlocked. If you don’t, just go to the hockey shop and highlight a boost you don’t have and it will tell you how to unlock them in the bottom right corner. After having one attribute boosted by 9, you MUST play an EASHL game. Drop-In or OTP games wont count.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Jl/-M/0oCLiGJhbC9AFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzQAAAAA5+fn-eNfPQ==.jpgPractice, Practice, Practice10 Play at least 8 hours of game time in EA SPORTS™ Hockey League Practice

 

You need 2 human players to start a EASHL practice. Enter an Open Practice in EASHL and just wait until the end of the game. Rinse and repeat. Both people will need to press A at intermissions to keep the practice going. If you keep the game tied it will keep going to overtime. This only requires 8 hours In-game time, not real life hours. So that's only 8 games of 3 periods each (about 2 hours or 24 periods). This must be done in EASHL Practice. Regular practice mode doesnt count.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/ta/cs/04CLiGJhbC9BFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzUAAAAA5+fn-AOnrg==.jpgEASHL Playoffs40 Be a member of an EA SPORTS™ Hockey League team when they participate in a monthly playoff

 

See EASHL Playoffs Champ...

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/AK/4N/0YCLiGJhbC9CFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzYAAAAA5+fn-iKuGw==.jpgEASHL Playoffs Champ75 Be a member of an EA SPORTS™ Hockey League team when they win a monthly playoff match

 

The playoffs start during the last week of each month. In order to qualify for the playoffs, all you have to do is play at least 1 game during the regular season (beginning of the month) with your club and you are automatically in. The next step is to play and actually win a playoff game. You have to be in the game when the team wins in order to get the achievement. Losing a game takes your team out of the playoffs until the next month. But the way around this is to quit your club, and then search for a "Public Only" club so you and a friend can just join in and play in their playoffs. Then just keep doing this until you eventually get a win (or run out of teams).

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/k1/bt/0ICLiGJhbC9DFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzcAAAAA5+fn-8JWiA==.jpgEASHL Sophomore20 Play 100 Ranked matches with your online Be A Pro character

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Dr/oq/0oCLiGJhbC9NFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzkAAAAA5+fn-QW6FQ==.jpgEASHL Veteran65 Play 250 Ranked matches with your online Be A Pro character

 

Playing 250 games with your online Be A Pro can be done by playing any combination of EASHL, Drop-In Games, and Ranked Online Team Play games. Games played as goalie or skater do combine (you can have 200 skater games and 50 goalie games).

 

If you want to boost this is, play EASHL Club games (not drop-in); wait until 5 minutes runs off the clock, and then quit out. It still counts as a game played even though you quit. It will take at least 10 hours to boost 250 games played but that is better than the 125 hours it would take to play them out legit.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/z1/eU/0YCLiGJhbC81FQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wL0EAAAAA5+fn-rtX1A==.jpgBoost Master25 Purchase or unlock 20 Boost items

 

An easy way to unlock boosts is to play EASHL until you have 10 total points, then go play Be A Pro and make sure you play 40 games (simulating until the last 5 min and joining in counts) and win the Stanley cup in your rookie season. You should have more than 20 by the end of all that. If you don’t, just go to the hockey shop and look at the boosts you don’t have, it will tell you how to unlock them. Or you can always just buy them with Microsoft points.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/el/61/04CLiGJhbC82FQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wL0IAAAAA5+fn-JpeYQ==.jpgTop Draft Pick10 Get your created Pro drafted in the first round of the NHL® draft

 

Start Be A Pro mode and make sure draft mode is on. Then play (and win) the first 4 games while getting as many points as you can. You should easily be the first pick in the draft. You can also adjust sliders as well as simulate and join in the last 5 minutes.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/6a/ZV/0oCLiGJhbC83FQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wL0MAAAAA5+fn-Xqm8g==.jpgStaying Power15 Remain on your NHL® team after the Pre-Season with a created Pro

 

Once the preseason stars, try to get at least 1 point per game and your NHL team should keep you. You can adjust sliders as well as simulate and join in the last 5 minutes.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/EE/33/14CLiGJhbC8wFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wL0QAAAAA5+fn+NhNCw==.jpgFilled Up35 Complete a Be A Pro game with all Boost Slots of one equipment type filled

 

In order to get this, you must have all 3 slots of one equipment unlocked. They are unlocked either by doing a specific task or buying them with Microsoft points. I found the easiest to unlock was the stick. Just play 40 Be A Pro Games and complete the season. Then play an EASHL with one attribute boosted by +9 and you will have all 3 sticks. If you don’t, just go to the hockey shop and look at the equipment slots you don’t have, it will tell you how to unlock them.

Simple, get two penalty's and kill off the 5 on 3. Easy ways to get penalties are dumping the puck out of play, having the goalie touch the puck in the no play zone, hit someone that doesn’t have the puck, or any other penalties. You can also boost this if you go to Xbox Live >> Community >> Lobbies >> Game Modes >> Versus. Once you and a friend are in there, have one person create a ranked game and invite the other person.

Make sure you are losing by at least 2 goals when the 2nd period ends. Then just come back and win the game. You can also boost this if you go to Xbox Live >> Community >> Lobbies >> Game Modes >> Versus. Once you and a friend are in there, have one person create a ranked game and invite the other person. If you want to pull your goalie, press :lbbut: + :back: at the same time.

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/vW/bs/14CLiGJhbC9ECxsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzEwAAAAAOfn5-jDZqE=.jpgShootout Start10 Win 5 Ranked Online Shootout matches

 

Very easy to do legit. Shootout games usually only take about 2 minutes to complete. You can also boost this if you go to Xbox Live >> Community >> Lobbies >> Game Modes >> Shootout. Once you and a friend are in there, have one person create a ranked game and invite the other person.

Self Explanatory. The CPU shouldn’t be too hard on Pro. If you are having a hard time, you could always wait until you have a 5 star team and then play a really bad AI team.

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Yn/yP/0YCLiGJhbC9BCxsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzE1AAAAAOfn5-6gfH4=.jpgJumbo Pack10 Open first Jumbo Pack

 

This will cost you 7,500 pucks or 160 Microsoft points to buy a Jumbo Pack. You get pucks by playing and winning HUT games and tournaments or selling cards in the trading HUT. You should easily get this achievement while going for all HUT achievements.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/13/Wu/04CLiGJhbC9CCxsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzE2AAAAAOfn5-yBdcs=.jpgLooking for Deals10 Visit a Hockey Ultimate Team Trading screen

You will easily get this while going for your 5 star team. But the fastest way to get this is to buy the PeeWee pack for 600 pucks. But you wont be getting any good cards. You can also use Microsoft points to buy card packs. You get pucks by playing and winning HUT games and tournaments or selling cards in the trading HUT.

See HUT Champion

 

http://www.trueachievements.com/imagestore/0000300600/300692.jpgHUT Playoff Contender40 Qualify for a Hockey Ultimate Team monthly playoff tournament

 

For this achievement you will need to be somewhere around the top 20% of the monthly leaderboards. You will need 500+ rank points in order to be ranked around 10,000. If you only play 2 games and win both, there is a good chance you could have enough points. Boosting against the same account for 5 games will get you a little over 100 rank points, but after 5 games you will be getting 0. You can check rank points by viewing the HUT monthly leaderboards. Luckily if you qualify at the end of the month, your done. The achievement unlocks right in the playoff menu. But if you miss it, you MUST wait until the next month to try again.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Pn/32/0ICLiGJhbC83CxsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzFDAAAAAOfn5--ZfSI=.jpgTeam Colors35 Collect both a Logo Card and all Jersey Cards from the same team

 

You will most likely NEVER get a logo and all jerseys from card packs. Your best bet is to go to the trading hut and search for one teams cards and buy them. If you choose an AHL team, they only have the logo and 2 jerseys so you will only need 3 cards (unlike NHL teams that have alternate jerseys). Once you have the 3 cards, you must go to your collection and make sure they are applied and it should unlock.

 

http://www.trueachievements.com/imagestore/0000300600/300693.jpg5 Star Battle50 Beat another 5 star team with your 5 star team in a Hockey Ultimate Team online match

 

Getting a 5 Star Team requires you to have a lot of high rated NHL players. My Team potential was an 88 and I had 91 offense, 89 defense, and 87 goalie. You can either buy card packs with pucks or Microsoft points and you can also trade and buy individual cards. The requirement is to have somewhere around an 87 Team Potential (seems to vary a bit). Chemistry does not matter at all towards this achievement.

http://www.trueachievements.com/imagestore/0000300600/300694.jpgHUT Champion75 Collect 5 Hockey Ultimate Team Online Trophies in your Collection

 

The online tournaments are basically just HUT versus mode with brackets only you can see. In order to win a tournament you need to win 4 games in a row. They can be against the same person. Quitting does not count as a tournament loss, but unfortunately if someone quits on you, it wont count as a win. You have to win 5 DIFFERENT online trophies. Winning one twice WILL NOT COUNT. This is easily boosted with a friend but will take some time.

NOTE: The featured online tournaments also do NOT count towards this. I won 8 online trophies before getting the achievement because I won one of them 3 times and I won the featured tournament once.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/4W/eV/1oCLiGJhbC8yCxsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzFGAAAAAOfn5-m6Z-0=.jpgTry It On For Size5 Visit the Hockey Shop and equip an attribute boost into a boost slot

 

You unlock attribute boosts very easily by just playing EASHL or Be A Pro. After only 1 or 2 games you should have one unlocked that you can use. Just go to the hockey shop and apply it.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/FF/b+/1YCLiGJhbC9ECBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzIwAAAAAOfn5-rRVgg=.jpgUp and Comers20 Play and win a match using an OHL, WHL or QMJHL team against a Pro level CPU NHL® team

 

Just use play now and pick a team from the OHL, WHL or QMJHL and pick the worst NHL team (probably Edmonton). Then win. They shouldn’t be too much trouble on Pro. Sliders can be adjusted to make it easier.

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/h6/4e/1ICLiGJhbC9FCBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzIxAAAAAOfn5-sxrps=.jpgGood Preview5 Play and win a Pre-Season match in Be A GM mode

 

Start GM mode and get to the preseason. Simply start a game on Rookie and win. Sliders can be adjusted.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/Mq/c-/1oCLiGJhbC9GCBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzIyAAAAAOfn5-kQpy4=.jpgProven Worth10 Play and complete a game while scoring a goal with a newly drafted skater in Be A GM mode

 

After starting a GM mode, take note of one of the players your team drafts. Then once the preseason stars, make sure he is on you NHL teams roster and put him on the first line. Then try your hardest to score a goal with him in the next game you play. Sliders can be adjusted.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/oV/-f/14CLiGJhbC9HCBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzIzAAAAAOfn5-jwX70=.jpgPoached10 Sign, from another team, a level 3 or above Restricted Free Agent in Be A GM

 

Start a new Be A GM mode with Colorado (they have a lot of salary cap space) and make sure Salary Cap is off. Then simulate for about 2 weeks until the first day that you can sign RFA’s. Then look for the player with the most teams interested or the highest overall and offer them at least double what they are asking. Then just simulate for about a week more and wait to see if the offer goes through. If it doesn't, just start a new GM mode and try again. Its sort of random which players will be RFA's. But you should have it in less than 5 tries.

 

http://www.trueachievements.com/imagestore/0000301900/301975.jpgLegendary GM40 Receive your Legend Plaque in Be A GM using at least Medium difficulty

 

Before starting GM Mode, you will need to make some roster changes. Basically take the best players from the Eastern & Western Conference and put them on the Tampa Bay Lightning (they have the lowest Legend Plaque requirement). Do this by going to the main menu, My NHL 11 >> Roster Management >> Player Movement.

 

Once you start Be a GM and get to the select team option, if you press :xbut: on a team, you can swap it out for a different team. So all you do know is swap out all the NHL teams (except Tampa) with the worst teams from all the other Leagues. Also be sure to turn salary cap off,trading off, and Playoffs to 1 game series (sweep the payoffs).

 

Now you will just need to simulate through until you get the achievement. Depending on how your team does, you can get it done between 4 - 6 years of simulating. I personally would just Sim through until the playoffs started, then backup the save on a USB and sim through the playoffs until I won the Cup. If I lost, I would load the backup.

 

During each off-season, all you have to do is resign your players that have had their contracts expire. This achievement is actually very easy and only takes a couple hours of simulating.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/y0/yd/04CLiGJhbC9BCBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzI1AAAAAOfn5-yyTNc=.jpgSacrifice the Body15 Block a shot without a stick

 

Start up EASHL practice mode (Open Practice) with a friend and have him break your stick by stick lifting constantly until it breaks. Then just have him wind up for a slap shot, get in front of him and press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/lb.png before he shoots.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/fk/W8/0YCLiGJhbC9CCBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzI2AAAAAOfn5-6TRWI=.jpgFist Pump5 Perform a User Controlled Goal Celebration

 

Press just about any button on the controller after scoring a goal. Will probably be your first achievement.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/7b/1c/0ICLiGJhbC9DCBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzI3AAAAAOfn5-9zvfE=.jpgFaceoff Victor15 Play and finish a ranked versus match with a Faceoff percentage of at least 75%

 

Boost this with a friend because it would be hard to get legit. Just hold up on the right stick and pull down on it once the Ref drops the puck to win faceoffs. Boost it by going to Xbox Live >> Community >> Lobbies >> Game Modes >> Versus. Then create a game and invite your friend.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/46/l7/04CLiGJhbC9MCBsFG1lTWUZEL2FjaC8wLzI4AAAAAOfn5-xUqf8=.jpgLook Ma, No Stick30 Without a stick, perform a kick or glove pass that leads to a goal

 

Start up an online game with a friend and have them constantly stick lift you(A) until your stick breaks. Then your friend needs to pull his goalie (:lbbut: + :back:). Then just kick it to your teammate and have him score. Might take some tries before you get it.

 

Secret Achievements

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/37/Ru/14CLiGJhbC9HFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzMAAAAA5+fn+EG0xA==.jpgSupposed To Be Standing30 Score a goal from the ground or your knees

 

This one is easiest done while boosting in a ranked versus or online HUT game. Simply have the opponent pull the goalie and pull all of his defense away from you so you can get a breakaway. Then slow down and let the opponent dive at you with :lbbut: + :rbbut: and you should fall to your knees. Shoot it into the empty net. This might take a few tries because sometimes your guy just wont fall.

This also works in practice mode if you have 1 friend playing goalie so he can move out of the way.

 

http://tiles.xbox.com/tiles/nU/LK/04CLiGJhbC9MFQQaXFJRF0ZEL2FjaC8wLzgAAAAA5+fn-OVChg==.jpgGoing Upstairs30 Have your team receive a goal based on video review

 

This one is basically just luck. But if you are going for the full 1000 you should have gotten it multiple times after playing the 250 games. It happens all the time while playing online. The only conditions I know of are having the puck hit the glove or skate of one of your players. Or having the puck hit or deflected in by a stick near the crossbar. I wouldn't even worry about this achievement.

Exactly how do you boost this? I don't understand how you get matched up with a friend?

 

HUT Champion75 Collect 5 Hockey Ultimate Team Online Trophies in your Collection

 

The online tournaments is basically just HUT versus mode with brackets only you can see. In order to win a tournament you need to win 4 games in a row. They can be against the same person. Quitting does not count as a tournament loss, but unfortunately if someone quits on you, it wont count as a win. You have to win 5 DIFFERENT online trophies. Winning one twice WILL NOT COUNT. This is easily boosted with a friend but takes over hours per person.

 

And if anyone wants to go for this add me up (I know, go to trasding hread, and I will post in there too).

 

GT: xThe Amory Wars

 

i'll boost with u but im still unsure exactly how we would boost this achievo.

 

also does the 3/10 difficulty rating seem really low? i thought this game would get at least a 7 and over 50 hours of play time. if 3/10 and only 25+ hours are needed thats really good news for me.

GT: xThe Amory Wars

I echo this question, because once you lose you are out of the tournament. Can you re-enter it and match up again against the same person?

 

Also, are you positive you can't win the same trophy over and over again? I've been talking to a friend who got 1250 in FIFA 10, and she said you could win the same Ultimate Team trophy over and over again, and it counted as 25 trophies. I realize these are different games, but EA isn't exactly known for its creativity across titles.

 

Also good start for a guide, but I'd remove any of the "don't remembers". Those are not endearing in a guide.

your sick if u think thats only 25 hour. Between 50 - 100 hour. 250 game online, at least 10 min per game, and we know a game thats not 10min, thats 40 hour easy. + legendary gm take 5 hour easy, 8 hour of practice...

 

 

your dont need to play be a pro..

 

nice start for the guide

The 25 hours is not counting the games played yet because I only have 10. I would say 25 hours is reasonable for every other achievement though. I only have 1 tournament left to win and that takes about 1.5 hours to boost. I already have a 5 star team and I just need to unlock the last tournament to use it (1 trophy more to unlock it).

 

I gave the game a 3/10 because there isn't a single difficult achievement (depending on how you qualify for the HUT monthly tournament). There is the 1 luck based achievement, a couple time consuming achievements(not hard though) and then all the online which could be hard to do legit but is VERY EASY to boost.

 

And I can confirm that it needs to be 5 DIFFERENT online trophies. I currently have won 7 online trophies. I won the same one 3 times and it didnt unlock. Then I won the featured the tourney (which hopefully counts) and I will have confirmation as soon as I do my last tourney tonight. But I need someone that has a HUT team that can qualify for 1 of the later tournaments. So send me a message if you want to trade a tournament win.

 

 

 

EDIT: Could someone make a guide to the legend plaque in Be A GM. I HATE that mode and that will probably be my last acheivement in this game.

On Be A GM i already have about 2000 TPs/5000 i think, ive won one Stanley cup and havnt made to the playoffs the other 3 seasons, all i am doing is siming the game and stopping every once in a while to see the easiest tasks to do to see if i can do any of them quickly. but if you win the Stanley cup you get a butt load of task points.

Is it really that easy? Could I just simulate most of the season and try to always make sure my team is in the playoffs. Then play the playoff games myself to guarantee a win and just do that for 2 - 3 seasons. I hope it really is that easy. I HATE dealing with resigning and drafting players. I just want to play hockey. Not play GM and coach.

All I do is search at the same time as a friend. It usually takes no more than 5 min to find each other. But I also did the first 2 tournaments early when less people were on. The harder it is to qualify for the tournament the easier it should be to boost. Less people will be playing. Or just play at very odd times. Like 4AM - 10AM EST. That seems to be the least popular times for most games.

Okay thanks a lot! I will try that =)

 

And does it matter if it is a 4 star cup and I only have 2 stars?

On Be A GM i already have about 2000 TPs/5000 i think, ive won one Stanley cup and havnt made to the playoffs the other 3 seasons, all i am doing is siming the game and stopping every once in a while to see the easiest tasks to do to see if i can do any of them quickly. but if you win the Stanley cup you get a butt load of task points.

 

i played the first 15 games and went 12-3-0 and was in first place. and then simmed a bunch of games and ended up being 30-30 and currently out of the playoffs. I also find trading in the game very hard since the cpu is quite strict and making a trade that benefits ur team is impossible for me.:confused:

i am however playing as toronto which may explain why i lose most of the games that i sim but still this legendary achievement seems like a major grind. when i look at the tasks i find most of them aren't game related. its mostly trading, free agency, contracts, player development, scouting, drafting, awards, GM rep etc. plus the auto-save system is no help when u go on a losing streak, exit out and retry it only to see ur awful loosing streak still there and saved.

 

another problem i've encountered was with my be a pro character. when i got drafted 2nd overall to boston as a playmaker they set out certain goals for me to do. the 2 hardest ones were score 77 points and 66 assists.:eek:the thing is they were both "expected" which meant they needed to be done. that seems like a HUGE tasks for any rookie in his first year.

 

anyway i played the first 10 or so games and was ranked first in the league in points. i then simmed several games and got demoted to the second line due to "lack of performance". several simmed games after that and was sent to the 3rd line for "lack of point production" even though i was still ranked 1st in points on my team! it seems the game thinks im the next crosby and still the expectations are way above what they should be.

 

i want to spend my time using my be a pro player online and go towards the 250 games played (which is no small task by itself) but the only way i see myself being successful in be a pro mode is to play at least 90% of the games. i had this same problem in NHL 10. :(

 

any advice on either situations would be much appreciated.

before starting GM mode trade all good players to one team and turn off salary cap. getting 60 wins in a season is good amount of points and you'll win it easily while winning every playoff series 4-0,4-1. just sim it while reading a magazine or something.

 

You'll have it about year 5. if my math is correct and you still earn the same amount of points each year. i'm only on year 3 so I'll let u guys know by tomorrow night.

And I can confirm that it needs to be 5 DIFFERENT online trophies. I currently have won 7 online trophies. I won the same one 3 times and it didnt unlock. Then I won the featured the tourney (which hopefully counts) and I will have confirmation as soon as I do my last tourney tonight. But I need someone that has a HUT team that can qualify for 1 of the later tournaments. So send me a message if you want to trade a tournament win.

Curses! That means I'm going to have to get some more cards to qualify for the other tournaments, I was really hoping to avoid that.

 

Thanks for the response though.

Team Colors didn't unlock for me until I went into My Collection and viewed them. Just acquiring the cards, making them active, and/or playing a game with them wasn't enough to pop it. I got the logo and both jerseys for an AHL squad. Not sure if this was the case for anyone else...

is the practice practice practice 8 hours of games? for example 8 practice games? or is it physically 8 hours of real life in it?
Pretty sure by the sounds of it that it is 8 real life hours. In total, it is 96 periods (or 32 games). As soon as I get my Legend GM achievement I will go for this one as that will be the only 1 I have left to do until monthly playoffs. Edited by acdougla17

Trading players takes too long IMO. The simulation engine is also dumb and unless your team is crazy better than every other team you still lose quite a few games.

 

The easiest way to get legendary gm achievement is...

 

1. Substitute out every team in the league and replace them with the worst teams from other leagues. (Best team beside yours should be about a 78 overall)

 

2. Then you put in the Eastern or Western all stars for yourself.

 

3. Start the season after the draft, turn off cpu trades and the salary cap.

 

4. Turn playoffs to SINGLE GAME. (Makes it way easier to sweep the playoffs and get task points.)

 

4. Simulate like crazy and resign all your players every offseason.

 

Should take about 3 hours of grinding and around 3 or 4 seasons of simulation. Remember to save in an alternate save slot in the playoffs in case your team loses in a single elimination game.

Start a new Be A GM mode with Colorado (they have a lot of salary cap space) and make sure Salary Cap is on. Then simulate for about 2 weeks until the first day that you can sign RFA’s. Then look for the player with the most teams interested or the highest overall and offer them at least double what they are asking. Then just simulate for about a week more and wait to see if the offer goes through.
