ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE
Achievement Guide
Throw 4 TD Passes in a Game - 15 points
Throw 4 touchdown passes in a single game.
EASY. Very easy to throw in this game, ins, outs, slants, and throwing screen passes to your running back all work great in the game.
350 Total Passing Yards - 15 points
Pass for 350 or more total yards in a game.
EASY. Keep passing the ball until you unlock this achievement, wont take long at all.
200 Total Rushing Yards - 15 points
Rush for 200 or more total yards in a game.
EASY. What I like to do for this one and what I find easiest is to run with the fast quarterback Ohio state has, you can just pretty much call a pass play or play action, then take off to either side of the football field with the quarterback, which ever side is more open.
No Fumbles in a Game - 15 points
Do not fumble the ball in a game.
EASY. Just make sure you don't throw the ball while being the quarterback, or else there is a greater chance of a fumble. Also don't dive with anyone but the quarterback unless your diving out of bounds! they tend to fumble a lot in this game when you dive.
No Interceptions in a Game - 15 points
Do not throw an interception in a game.
EASY. Well, half the time most of the recievers are open anyway, even if you throw a pass 90% of the time the computer will just tip it, or you can just not throw the ball the whole game.
Win by 21 - 10 points
Win a game by 21 points or more.
EASY. I usually win by 70 + points per game it is VERY easy, run with the quarterback, throw ins outs slants and screens, and on defense play nickel 3 - 3 - 5 and play 2 man, and play as the middle linebacker who has a small zone and either blitz the outside or cover the middle.
Pass to 5 Different Receivers - 10 points
Complete a pass to 5 or more receivers in a game.
EASY. Throw a pass to your tightend, your running back, fullback even, your reciever on the left and right, and slotbacks on your left and right. easily done.

EASY. Keep throwing to the same reciever, this one wont take long at all.
100 Yard Rusher - 10 points

EASY. Run with the quarterback or running back, make sure your on the opponents 30 or farther.
Break a 60 Yard Run - 20 points
Break a run for 60 or more yards.
EASY. I find plays up the middle work fairly well, theres usually a hole and you can truck stick (right joystick up) your way threw the 1 or 2 guys left, or you can run with the quarterback easily.
Allow No Sacks - 15 points
Do not give up any sacks in a game.
EASY. Just dont get sacked! Common sense.
Intercept 2 Passes - 15 points
Intercept 2 passes in a game on defense.
MEDIUM. Just play nickel 3 - 3 - 5 - 2 man, cover the middle with the zoned linebacker, you can pick it off with Y or more likely your computer will, not to hard the team just has to throw lots.
Recover 2 Fumbles - 15 points
Recover 2 fumbles on defense in a game.
MEDIUM. BLITZ like a fool!!! And use the HIT STICK!!! (right joystick), not to hard to cause fumbles in this game.
Return Interception for a TD - 20 points
Return an interception for a touchdown.
MEDIUM. This one all depends if there are any players around you when you pick it off, you can usually go the distance 50% of the time or so, Ohios defensive backs can burn pretty much anyone.
Return Fumble for TD - 20 points
Score a touchdown after recovering a fumble on defense.
MEDIUM. Blitz like a fool, hopefully causing the quarterback to fumble, and if he does youve got a jog into the endzone with no one else around.

EASY. Blitz like a fool!!! Won't take long!
Held Under 200 Yards - 10 points
Hold the opposition to under 200 total yards.
MEDIUM. See "Held Under 100 Yards."
Held Under 100 Yards - 25 points
Hold the opposition to under 100 total yards.
HARD. Ok for this achievement, it's TOTAL yards, not just OFFENSIVE total yards, this is yards on the kickoff when you kick to the computer and they run it back, same with punting, and if they get an interception, yards after the interception. So for this one my best advice to you is: Kill time, when your kicking off to them kick the ball as high as you can with almost max power they will either fair catch the ball or you have a free hit stick shot at them so they cant gain no yards there, kick it out of bounds if your punting, play a nickel 2 man defense, and again, kill time!!! Run the ball and dont get a 1st down until 3rd or 4th down, killing more time in the process.
2 Sack Player - 10 points
Make 2 sacks in a game with the same player.
EASY. Blitz like a fool with the same player and get 2 sacks! just blitz the outside with your linebacker in a nickel 3 - 3 - 5 - 2 man defense.
Score a Safety - 30 points
Score a safety on defense.
MEDIUM. Ok you can cheat for this one, just go in a dynasty game, and get the ball on your opponents 3 yardline or closer, and turn the ball over on downs. then do a 4 - 3 blitz, with no zone men, and you should easily be able to get the safety.
Shutout - 30 points
Prevent your opponent from scoring any points in a game.
EASY. You can kill the time in this one if you want, just keep running the ball, and not getting a 1st down until 3rd down, and play a 2 man defense.
Punt Return for TD - 15 points
Return a punt for a touchdown.
See "Kickoff Return for TD"
Kickoff Return for TD - 20 points
Return a kickoff for a touchdown.
MEDIUM. Not much i can say for this one, run a kickoff back for a touchdown, dont stop running or go backwards is my only advice, go forwards find some holes you pretty much have to break 1 or 2 tackles to go all the way, use the trick stick!
50 Yard Field Goal - 25 points
Kick a 50 or more yard field goal.
MEDIUM. Get on your opponents 35 yard line, i did this with Ohio's kicker, just get near perfect power on your kick, move the arrow down a nudge, and let one rip.
50 Yard Punt - 15 points
Punt the ball 50 or more net yards.
EASY. just move the punting arrow down just a nudge, and get almost full power on your meter, and youll get it, i got it with Ohio's punter.
Block a Punt - 25 points
Block a punt.
HARD. When its 4th down for the computer, let their play clock go down as far as you can until they make you pick a play (usually to 15 - 18 sec) and pick punt block, then let the animations go where the computers punter is going back and getting ready to punt and dont rush any animations, then as soon as you can move again, switch to your guy on the left side at the end, and by then there should be 4 - 5 sec left on the playclock, then at about 2 or 3 sec i jump the snap i just start running i don't hit Y or anything i just start running with him, and hold your speed burst and run hard at that punter, and press Y to get your hands up and block it. This one will take some people some time, but youll get used to this technique and eventually get it.
Block a Field Goal - 25 points
Block a field goal.
MEDIUM. Play field goal block, and try to either jump the snap or push the line, I've gotten about 5 or 6 blocks now, and 4 of them were my computer blocking it, because they rush in and dive.

#1 Defense - 25 points
Have the #1 ranked defense in a dynasty season.
MEDIUM. Play a 2 man defense most of the time, your safeties will help your defensive backs cover deep, everyone else is covered, you won't get much pressure on the quarterback but there's also not much the offense can do on you.

Sign 8 or more 5 star prospects in your recruit class.
Mr Feburary means you have the top recruit class, use a top 5 team (Ohio State, Texas, USC) and get as many 5 star and 4 star recruits, getting eight 5 star recruits should do it along with like four 4 star recruits.

EASY. Just win the national championship. Be the champs!
Dynasty Trifecta! - 50 points
Win the National Championship in three back-to-back seasons in dynasty mode.
EASY. All I did here was simulate each game seperately and made sure i won (pick a good team, Ohio State or Florida), and after each game I won, I saved rightaway (left joystick press in to save). If I lost, I just exitted to the main menu and reloaded my dynasty and simulated again. I think I only lost 4 times through my 3 years of simulation. Then on the 3rd and final season, play the national championship game, and you'll get the achievement after you win the game.
Mr. February - 25 points

MEDIUM. This one might take some time, play on freshman, you do options, the whole mini games, and depending on the defense blitzing or not depends on the outcome of the mini game. Just keep pitching the ball off to the running back (LT), when your about to get smoked with the quarterback, or fake the toss (LB) if the defender is coming for you.
