Friendly Rivals Glitch

[CovertDog]

Has anyone that has had Friendly Rivals not unlock for them figure out away to do it? I had one friend on my list that had played it. It wouldn't unlock. I played with one of my other accounts that is on my friends list and it unlocked on that account, but still will not unlock on mine. Any suggestions?

Well its looking like I'm screwed. If you are playing this for the first time, I would advise you get this achievement first. Look at the leaderboard and find a challenge a friend has done. If you don't have a friend that has played any challenges, use a second profile an do a challenge or add someone from the leaderboards. Then just do that challenge and then compare by hitting the Y button.

I think my problem was I did hard challenge 4 first to get the five stars on a hard challenge achievement out of the way. I retried it a couple of times before getting the five stars and then I posted the score. I got the achievements for the five stars and posting a score, but I didn't have a friend that had played it. I did have a friend that played the first easy one, but after I did it, it wouldn't unlock. I think it was the first challenge I did that screwed it.

I did do a challenge with two more accounts and they unlocked fine by just doing a challenge that my main account had done and then comparing. Not that it matters, but I did notice when I compared scores with my second accounts the leaderboards look different. The second account ones have a line between each of the posted scores, but with my main account there is no lines.

Since this is an EA game, I don't expect any fix and I will now be stuck with 995 on it.

hey i'm playing this game on PS3, not xbox, but i had the same glitch as you and i found a solution.

this may not be applicable, i know, but it's worth a shot!

on PS3, for the system to find your score online, you have to place in the top 1000. in order to compare against one of your friends, he/she also has to place in the top 1000 (on the same challenge). also, i had to wait a few minutes before my score would show up online. i found Easy 5 and Medium 5 to be pretty easy to break into the top 200, nevermind the top 1000.

i tried a whole bunch of different fixes for hours, but eventually i figured this out. maybe it'll be the same on xbox?

I don't think that is essentially the issue. I did it with the Hard Challenge 4 (where you have to beat it before the target time) and I placed under 1000. I then played it on my brother's Xbox and scored lower but once I pressed at the Leaderboards (for friend comparison) the achievement popped for him. I went back home and did it and it unlocked.

As for CovertDog, you did make sure you did them under XBox Live right? I'm assuming you may have, but I noticed a friend of mine who did the Local Challenge and it posted somewhere (I honestly haven't dabbled in it so I don't know exactly what it does) and he was having the issue, as he was on XBL Silver. I gave him a 48 hour pass, he posted, and it worked for him.

If anything, I don't know if you still have the game, but feel free to send me a Friend Request on XBL. I'll accept and then you can compare. I see that you are just this one achievement shy of the full 1k, so I wouldn't mind helping you out
