For those of you who played Madden NFL 08, Madden NFL 09 continues the tradition set by the '08 edition with an extremely easy achievement list that can be earned by even the most novice of sport's game players.
Step #1: Preparation
Before beginning we need to adjust some settings. From the main menu go to My Madden --> Settings --> Game Skill. In this menu adjust the preset skill level to rookie. You may also choose your game style depending on your Madden prowess. Next, from the main menu go to My Madden --> Settings --> Gameplay. In this menu, turn injuries off, fatigue off, then click on special team settings. In this menu turn FG power and accuracy to 100 and kickoff power to 40. Now press and click on game rules. In this menu set all of the penalty sliders to zero.
WARNING: Do not use the supersim feature while playing the following games; you have been warned.
Step #2: Game 1 - Jaguars vs. Titans (Franchise)
Start a franchise with the Tennessee Titans with the following settings:
Sim Injuries: Off
Injuries: Off
Quarter Length: 6 minutes
Use Pre-existing injuries: Off
Keep the rest of the settings as they are. Now sim through the preseason. Your first regular season game will be a rivalry game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before you say yes to play the game, make sure you press to go to advanced options and set rewinds at "unlimited." This game is going to net you the most achievements of the four games you have to play. You must use rewinds in this game if for some reason you fumble, throw an interception, or the opposing team scores or has a play for big yardage. For this game your offensive focus is to pass for more than 550 yards, get 10 receptions to the same player and score at least 60 points. You need to keep your completion percentage above 80% as well.
Your defensive focus for the game is to first put your defense in cover schemes until they get a total of six interceptions. This should hopefully be complete after the first half. After you have six interceptions, it's time to sack the QB over and over. Since offsides are turned off, using the same player every time, line up on the opponent's side of the ball behind the QB and sack him every play once the ball is snapped. This technique will also help prevent the Jags from getting 300 yards of offense or scoring on you .
Your special teams focus for the game is two return two punts for TDs and kick a 50 yard FG. For the punt returns, first change your punt returner to Chris Johnson. Next, when the ball is punted to you, catch the ball then run to the closest sideline and wait for the defenders to start getting near, when they're about 5 yards away start running backward towards your goal line. Immediately cut across the field to the other sideline when you near your goal line. Then you will have 10 defenders behind you and only a punter to beat before getting the TD. For the FG make sure that your are at the 34 yard line or farther back. This will be easier for you since you increased FG power and accuracy already.
There are also three miscellaneous celebration achievements to get in this game. After scoring a TD go to the blue zone underneath the goal post and press . After scoring another TD just press the button. Just to reiterate, do not fumble, throw an interception, throw too many incomplete passes, or allow the Jags to score or get a big yardage play. However, if for some reason you miss an achievement in this game, don't worry. You can get them in the next games too, unless it's a franchise related achievement.
Step #3: Game 2 - Dolphins vs. Falcons (Play Now)
From now on these games can be played using the Play Now option. Begin the game described above. You will be the Falcons and be sure to use unlimited rewinds. Make sure you're the home team and playing in the Georgia Dome. For this game your only offensive focus is to throw seven TD passes. Easiest way is to pick a play with all vertical routes and simply air it out to White. Your defensive focus is to let the other team score, yes, score. The easiest way to do this is run the FG block play and let the opposing team throw a quick pass. The reason for letting them score is to increase the amount of kickoffs you get to return. You want to return at least two for TDs this game. Be sure to use rewinds if your unsuccessful at first. You also have one miscellaneous celebration achievement to get in this game. After scoring a TD go to the blue zone by the wall and press . Time for the next game....
Step #4: Game 2 - Falcons vs. Dolphins (Play Now)
Begin the game described above. You will be the Dolphins and be sure to use unlimited rewinds. For this game your only focus is to rush for 6 TDs. Easiest way is to throw a long ball to Ginn and have him run out of bounds at the 1 yard line. From here just run a HB dive for the TD. You must get at least 6 rushing TDs with any combination of players.
Step #5: Game 2 - Falcons vs. Jets (Play Now)
Begin the game described above. You will be the Jets and be sure to use unlimited rewinds. For this game your only focus is to rush for 300 yards. First, anytime the ball is kicked to you, run backwards and step out of bounds at your own 1. This will give you a long field to rack up the yards with every possession. Easiest way to move the ball is to use plays that pitch to the outside. You must get at least 300 rushing yards with any combination of players by the end of the game.
Step #6: Player Creation
Time for your last two achievements. From the main menu go to My Madden --> Rosters --> Create-A-Player and follow the achievement guides instructions for getting the Midway Monster and Now Here's a Guy... achievements.
Conclusion
If at this point you are still missing achievements somehow, simply create a new game in the Play Now menu and set your quarter length as appropriate
