Introduction:
Welcome to Beijing 2008. This game has a total of 50 achievements and requires a minimum of one playthrough (maybe more) to get 1000. The reason for the minimum of one playthrough is that Hardcore Olympian requires you to play without quitting or failing a day. Of the achievements, 3 are unlocked in the Career Mode. 3 are unlocked by winning/playing games on Xbox Live. 37 are unlocked by beating certain scores/distances on different events. 4 more achievements are earned by beating the Heptathlon and Decathlon (and beating the points requirement) and the remaining 3 are achieved by doing certain tasks such as using a custom team and beating a friends personal best (PB)...
Step#1 - Online Achievements
Now I would choose to go for the online achievements, if you have a partner to play with as the online is extremely dead for this game. Basically find your partner and create a RANKED or PLAYER match and have one find the other and then simply take turns winning 5 times in a row (making sure you change host halfway through for the achievement) and you should end up with all 3 online achievements and leaving only 47 achievements to go!.
Step#2 - Random Achievements
The goal here is to get the "Leader Of The Pack", "Changing Faces", "Best With Friends" achievements. All of these are easy enough to get if you just follow the guide. The only one I had trouble with was finding 4 controllers to actually play. Just to confirm Guitars, Drums ect... all work as controllers. Now Only 44 achievements to go!.
Step#3 - Event Achievements
This main objective now is to basically get all 37 Achievements for beating certain events. This could take time as there are a few certain events that require to get everything so precise and perfect that it does cause some people problems as
they could find it hard. Basically the main thing here is PRACTICE. Getting Closer to that 1000 with only 7 achievements left!.
There is a sneaky tip that can help you if your having trouble with the events. See the 'Tips and Tricks' section at the end of the Road Map.
Step#4 - Heptathlon/Decathlon Achievements
So here you just have to play the Heptathlon and Decathlon and earn the 4 achievements available. The events should be somewhat easier now that you've had enough practice on the events so it should be a easy enough task. You can also get these achievements with a friend. Were on the home straight now, 3 achievements left!.
See the 'Tips and Tricks' section at the end of the Road Map.
Step#5 - Olympic Games Mode
Last is the 3 achievements for completing the Olympic Games mode. Olympic game mode is pretty easy now that you've practiced most, if not all of the events. In your first season I suggest going for the Hardcore Olympian and the Career Athlete. If at any point you fail a day, you will have to start again from the start. If you want to take a break you MUST leave your xbox on (on the current day or event you're on). After you've achieved both those achievement, its time for that last achievement. Basically if you've not earned it all ready continue into your second season and it should be pretty easy to complete the days and challenges and you've maxed out your attributes and you've got 1000!
Tips And Tricks:
-If your having trouble with the event achievements, you can use Slo-Mo which is only available in Olympic Game mode. See this thread: https://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/showthread.php?p=968528#post968528
-If your having trouble with the Heptathlon/Decathlon achievements, Simply find a partner with 2 controllers (you need to have 2 also) and set up a player match on Xbox Live and just let each other win all events for the achievements.
Conclusion:
Wrapping this up, I just want to say that this game isn't that bad for achievements, it can just be a pain. 1000 should sit nicely in your gamercard... Enjoy. for a more in-depth guide on how to use it.
