 | Gameday Guru | 50  | ||||
| Complete a head to head match on Xbox LIVE | ||||||
Go to:
The game can be and Unranked game. Just set the Quarters to 1 Minute and play it out. Also, if you get in an online game and your opponent quits, finish against the CPU for the achievement. Win or lose, it will unlock. | ||||||
| Drawing Some Plays in the Dirt | 10 | ||||
| Create at least 10 custom plays | ||||||
| Going into the "create a play" screen in Career Mode(even if you don't create a play) permanently turns off injuries for that career from that point forward. This leaves any injured player permanently injured. If you would like to avoid this problem and still get the 10 plays created season goal, just choose to download plays. then pick 10 different plays. They can be ones you've already downloaded before on another season. Below is what I did to get the achievement. Go to:
| ||||||
| Gold Miner | 10 | ||||
| Find 90+ Potential Training Camp Invite | ||||||
| People seem to be having a little bit of trouble with this achievement. What you want to do is make sure you draft a player with a high potential rating, which would pretty much mean he needs to be a Top 10 Draftee. Now you can sim and get this achievement, but you might want to actually get this one by doing the Practices during Training Camp. Now during Training Camp, stay on the Main Clipboard and "Gameplan" should show up. After selecting Gameplan, select Train Rookie which will make his potential go up some. You can do this every day during Training Camp or you can sim and hopefully you get the achievement like I did. | ||||||
| Media Darling | 10 | ||||
| Get your approval level with the media to 80, after one season | ||||||
| Whenever you do something good such as sign free agents, release players, win games by large amounts, your media approval rating level will go up. The 1st season is easy to sim especially if you're using the Colts or Patriots. Just make sure you win at least 12 of the games and win the Super Bowl and you should easily get this achievement. Now you don't have to win the Super Bowl, but it will help in getting this achievement. I got all of these approval rating level achievements by simming my 1st season with the New York Giants. So you can sim for this achievement and probably get all of them after the 1st season. | ||||||
| Mr Popularity | 10 | ||||
| Get your approval level with the fans to 80, after one season | ||||||
| You'll fan approval rating level will go up also for signing key free agents, winning games, having a good record during the season. Just as above, make sure you win at least 12 games and win the Super Bowl and you should also easily get this achievement. | ||||||
| Teachers Pet | 10 | ||||
| Get your approval level with your owner to 80, after one season | ||||||
| Your owner approval rating level go up by signing free agents, completing season goals, winning games, making the playoffs, winning playoff games and winning the Super Bowl. Just as above, make sure you win at least 12 games and win the Super Bowl and the achievement is yours. | ||||||
| Man of the People | 10 | ||||
| Get your approval level with your team's players to 80, after one season | ||||||
| Your players approval rating level will go up by adding good teammates, winning games, re-signing them if they're contract is about to expire, trade them if they ask to be traded, pretty much do whatever the players want and you'll get the achievement after the season is over. Also, winning at least 12 games and winning the Super Bowl will help with getting this achievement. | ||||||
| One Big Happy Family | 10 | ||||
| Get your approval level with your coaching staff to 80 | ||||||
| Your coaching staff approval rating level will go up by re-hiring them in the off-season, winning games, and the same stuff mentioned above. Once again, winning at least 12 games and winning the Super Bowl will help in getting this achievement. | ||||||
| Xs and Os Guy | 20 | ||||
| Create at least 25 custom plays | ||||||
| Going into the "create a play" screen in Career Mode(even if you don't create a play) permanently turns off injuries for that career from that point forward. This leaves any injured player permanently injured. If you would like to avoid this problem and still get the 10 plays created season goal, just choose to download plays. then pick 10 different plays. They can be ones you've already downloaded before on another season. Go to:
| ||||||
| Goal Oriented | 15 | ||||
| Accomplish all of your Season Goals | ||||||
| If one of your season goals is to add 10 new plays, you can download the same play 10 times off of EA Sports Gamernet to complete the goal, and then just delete them all when the goal is unlocked. You can check your Current Season Goals, Failed Season Goals, and Succesful Season Goals by going to "Team" on the Career Mode Menu and going down to Season Goals. Really not much to say about this achievement except don't sim the season and try and get all of the season goals. Kind of hard to help out on this achievement. But if you ask, I will try to help out as much as possible. Here is a link to a "Goal Oriented" Guide made by Sge77i: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...ad.php?t=86991 | ||||||
| I'm The Decider | 10 | ||||
| Get 100 percent correct defining moments during a game day | ||||||
| I'll tell you what I did, which is what I think is the easiest way. I set the Quarters to 1 Minute and put all of my sliders on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams to 100 and the CPU's sliders on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams to 0. Although some people said the sliders don't really affect anything. Once in the game, I just made my way down the field until I got to about the 3 yard line. Once I got to 4th Down, my coach's face turned black & white and "Defining Moment" popped up and asked me if I wanted to kick a Field Goal or go for it on 4th down. I chose kick a Field Goal, and my Kicker made the Field Goal. Once the game was over, the achievement unlocked. If I would have went for it on 4th down and not made it, I would not have gotten the achievement as I would have gotten the Defining Moment wrong. | ||||||
| Best of all Time | 100 | ||||
| Go undefeated during a season | ||||||
| Play as the Colts or the Patriots, the 1st season is the easiest to sim. But you'll more than likely need to sim game by game. Just make sure you win all 16 Regular Season games and that you win the 3 playoff games including the Super Bowl game. If you don't win a game, just quit out of the Career Mode and Load it back up. You will also get the "You Arrived" achievement as well as this one. | ||||||
| We Like You | 25 | ||||
| Get an overall Approval Rating of 85, after one season | ||||||
| In the lower right hand corner will be a big number with the word Approval under it. That is your overall Approval Rating, you can get this achievement along with the "Best of All Time" & "You Arrived" achievement as going undefeated and winning the Super Bowl will get your approval rating over 85 with out a doubt. | ||||||
| You Arrived | 30 | ||||
| Win your first Super Bowl ring | ||||||
| You will get this achievement while getting the "Best of All Time" achievement. Just make sure you at least make the playoffs, you will either play 3 or 4 playoff games(depending on how many games you win in the Regular Season.) Just sim or play and make sure you win the playoff games. Once to the Super Bowl game, also either play it or sim it. Once you win the Super Bowl game, the achievement will unlock. | ||||||
| We Love You | 50 | ||||
| Get an overall Approval Rating of 90, after one season | ||||||
| In the lower right hand corner will be a big number with the word Approval under it. That is your overall Approval Rating, you can get this achievement along with the "Best of All Time" & "You Arrived" achievement as going undefeated and winning the Super Bowl will get your approval rating over 90 with out a doubt. | ||||||
| One for the Mantle | 50 | ||||
| Win the Coach of the Year award, after one season | ||||||
| Going undefeated and winning the Super Bowl will help massively in getting this achievement. Try and pick a team that didn't do good last season, like the Jets or the Dolphins and make sure you make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl, you don't have to go undefeated. Since the Jets and the Dolphins did so bad last season and now you just made the playoffs and won the Super Bowl, you should easily get the achievement by improving your record so much and by winning the Super Bowl. The achievement will unlock after the Regular Season, right before the Playoffs begin. | ||||||
| Welcome to the Club | 125 | ||||
| Win 100 games with a created coach | ||||||
To create a coach go to:
I didn't do this but you should start your 1st career with a created coach as going for the undefeated season achievement and by getting the 1, 2, and 3 Super Bowl achievements, as those will also massively help you towards getting this achievement. I would suggest switching teams often. What I did was went 19-0 the first two seasons and then by the third seasons, I had no money left so I only had about 28 guys on the roster. But if you choose to play as a new team, then they will have more money and you will be able to sign more guys. And every win counts so you don't have to worry about going 16-0 and winning the Super Bowl every year, if you get an above .500 record every year then you will get the achievement pretty fast. All regular season and post season wins count for this achievement but pre-season wins do not count. | ||||||
| Repeat Offender | 100 | ||||
| Win back to back Super Bowls with one team | ||||||
| Just make sure win enough games to where you make the playoffs( 10 or more wins would pretty much guarantee you a playoff spot.) You will either play 3 or 4 playoff games(depending on how many games you win in the Regular Season and your seed in the Playoffs.) Just sim or play and make sure you win the playoff games. Once to the Super Bowl game, also either play it or sim it. Once you win the Super Bowl game, the achievement will unlock. | ||||||
| We Idolize You | 75 | ||||
| Get an overall Approval Rating of 95, after one season | ||||||
| In the lower right hand corner will be a big number with the word Approval under it. That is your overall Approval Rating, you can get this achievement along with the "Best of All Time" & "You Arrived" achievement as going undefeated and winning the Super Bowl will get your approval rating over 95. | ||||||
| Best Ever | 250 | ||||
| Win the Super Bowl 3 times with the same team | ||||||
| Now the 3rd season is when it gets hard to win games by simming, make sure you re-sign key players. Also, sign some key Free Agents and try and trade to get better players. Just make sure win enough games to where you make the playoffs( 10 or more wins would pretty much guarantee you a playoff spot.) You will either play 3 or 4 playoff games(depending on how many games you win in the Regular Season and your seed in the Playoffs.) Just sim or play and make sure you win the playoff games. Once to the Super Bowl game, also either play it or sim it. Once you win the Super Bowl game, the achievement will unlock. | ||||||
Secret Achievements | ||||||
 | Nerves of Steel | 10 | ||||
| Successful Defining Moments 20+ | ||||||
| Try to choose a throwing play that gets you a lot of yardage and you are close to the sideline. My play was the 52 Double Smash in the Patriots playbook. Once you get to about the 20 or so, throw the ball short across the middle and try to get the ball within the 10. If you are close to the 10 or on the 9 or so, just do a QB Sneak to get even closer. Then just spike the ball until 4th down and you should get the option. If you are on the 1 yard line, I would suggest kneeling because the field goal will be a lot easier and less of an angle and if you throw for the touchdown, the receivers will not be as close to the back of the endzone. The defining moment will not appear everytime. If you are nearing the end of the 3rd quarter and the time is still running down, wait until the 4th quarter because you will have more of a chance for the defining moment to happen. And same goes with the end of the 1st quarter. You can also get defining moments for being down by 7 or less points and you can either punt or go for it, when you are on defense you can either blitz or go zone coverage (I'm not sure when this one happens exactly) but these defining moments are a lot harder to set up. It is easiest to start a career as the Patriots or Colts so all of the Defining Moments occur in one career. (I saved my profile after everyone that I got so the achievement either counts all from one career, all that you've gotten, or the ones in your profile.) You can do the games at any length that you want but I would suggest doing them at 1 minute quarters and try to get at least 1 every game. If you win enough to make it to the playoffs then make sure you get at least one in each game and win to get to the Super Bowl. Play the Super Bowl at 5 minute quarters so you can get more than one and hopefully get the achievement that game but I had about 22 after the Super Bowl and didn't get it but like I said earlier, my game might be a little glitched. If you don't get the achievement, just sim the off-season and you should develop your coaches skills around the plays that you use all the time (i.e. you should make your catching abilities better). Don't bother playing any preseason games or not because I'm not sure if those count. Then just keep trying and keep track of how many you have. If you do not get one during a game and the game is about to end, just quit the game and you won't have to exit the career or anything, you will be able to start the game right up again like nothing ever happened (your approval stays the same as it was when you quit the game though). The achievement should pop right after you get the defining moment correct. | ||||||
 | A Cut Above | 20 | ||||
| Get the highest overall approval Rating in the league, after one season | ||||||
| When going for the "Best of All Time" achievement and the 1, 2, and 3 Super Bowl achievements you should easily get this achievement. You can not tie with a team, so lets say you have a 99 approval rating but didn't get the achievement, well that means another team also has a 99 approval rating. One more thing, you don't get this achievement by having the highest overall approval rating after one season. As soon as you have the highest overall approval rating during the season, whether it be in Week 3 or Week 16, you can get this achievement during the regular season. | ||||||
