After you get 4 girlfriends all you need to do is keep them happy and hjope they don't find out about each other. Just say yes too all of their requests and keep them above 85. If they are at lower than 85, they will start to get jealous based on their level of jealousy. The jealousy levels for the girls are:

Summer Less Jealous
Christine Less Jealous

Mayra Crazy jealous, avoid at all costs (don't fill her requests)

[ac2565]

No but the when your opponent is in the corner of the square in which the helicopter is inside it deals more damage.

[daewezzy]

quick question about the "BMF" achievement. Do you have to complete each fight on hard mode? or can you just change the difficulty at the end?

[Project KG]

i did that 4 artist second song and amount spend 1,141,559 and total units sold (after 3 fight) 1,047,036,512 and amount earnet 1,912,959,168 :woop:oh well I sold like 2.4 mil after 1 fight then after I had another fight I got up to a billion.

[Bax x360a]

Great guide, thanks for this. im also wondering about the question do you have to do BMF on hard mode or can you just switch it to that at the end?

[Shaaady Souljah]

Great guide, thanks for this. im also wondering about the question do you have to do BMF on hard mode or can you just switch it to that at the end?

[PaleGringo]

Any chance that a mod or admin can get a sticky on this thread? I'm sure I'm not the only one on these forums that isn't used to looking for a forum based guide on page 2.

Thanks in advance.

[ac2565]

Just PM a mod. That is what I did to get my guide stickied in NBA Street.

[zebatov]

you have to win the 50th 100th or 200th fight doing this, i did this from 55 wins to 100 and diddnt get the achievement...luckily when i beat him for my 101st win it gave me the achievement.

I don't know if anyone said this yet or not, but it's because in order to unlock the achievements, you have to beat one legit (no quitting) after breaking 50, 100 or 200 wins. So essentially, your friend could quit out 200 times, you could then beat him once by fighting and you'll get 3 achievements right there. A faster way to get the wins is to let your friend throw you down the elevator in the Executive Office (I think it's called). Takes about 12 seconds. Then just select rematch.

Also, just thought I'd let you guys know, I read a forum here on how to get the Directional Attacks Only achievement, and it is a lot easier to do it in the gas station. I don't know if it matters who you pick, just make sure it's someone who can kick people back a good ways. Keep knocking your opponent (I used T.I. as my opponent) into the car wash brush and don't let him up. Make sure he doesn't use an attack while getting up on you. When go goes to kick you, kick him first. If he grabs you, spin the stick in circles. This counters his grab most times and gives him a good backhand to make him think about his actions. I think I got lucky the time I'd beat it because I'd only lost 2 bars of health. I just kept beating on him in the corner, not letting him throw me into the gas tanks, which he will do almost every time if you're not careful.

[SixtyeightState]

WTF!!?? I can only fill out one of the 'stats' when an artist releases a new song, I only sell like 600,000. How the hell are you guys filling out more than one?

No Strikes, Get Up Attacks, Blocks, Reversals, Taunts, or Grabs.

Don't do any of those, even tho you're still using directional attacks only, if you do those you will never unlock it.

Not a good description at all, firstly you don't have to do any of this to get the achievement and secondly you should have stated that you have to finish the battle, not just throw them in the fire.Anyway I suggest you update, cause honestly I think it'll confuse people.

[Hitchcock]

All online achievements are no longer possible. The Def Jam servers were closed as of July 1, 2008. Guide needs to be updated.

[XxBlueSpade2xX]

Can you get all the fighting achievements in ranked matches?

Nevermind just read above post......

[EOU Findub]

Don't listen to him..they aren't closed. He was going off of information that was semi-new on the EA site. They have since changed their mind and the servers are still open.

[A 2rue boofer]

nice guide but I think that it should be mandatory that you add the achievement pictures but other than that good guide

[MCSS Aerocoupe]

I am having trouble with this one: Caution: Wet Floor

I beat the opponent to being dazed, he goes to the fuse box and the blast kills him, yey no achievement in Ranked. I have tried it at least 5 times last night with a boosting partner.

[MCSS Aerocoupe]

Finally figured it out last night. If the fuse box blows up and opponent is killed but lands on you, it does not count. Go figure. That would explain why it took multiple tries for some of the other achievements like it.

Stupid game...

[esco242]

this is a stupid game i hope ea goes back to making the game how it was before the achievements are difficult to obtain in this

[esco242]

i finally decided that i should give this game another try to rack up some achievements but i just found out that the online servers are down am gonna miss out on the multi player achievements sucks
