Overview:
- Estimated achievement difficulty: 2/10
- Offline: 47 (940 )
- Online: 3 (60 )
- Approximate amount of time to 1000 : 5-10 hours
- Glitched achievements: None
- Does difficulty affect achievements? Yes for one achievement. The difficulty must be at least on Varsity to get the "Pontiac G8 4th Quarter Comeback" achievement.

Note #1: The achievements can be obtained with 2 controllers and the sliders can be adjusted as well. Rules can be changed, such as offsides. You can NOT super-sim any games and expect to get the in-game achievements.

Note #2: If you need any extra help on obtaining these achievements check out the Achievement Guide for NCAA Football 09 written by myself, Seng IV, and the x360a community. You can find that guide HERE.

Step 1 (In-game achievements):

There are in total 28 achievements to be gained while playing a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game worth a total of 510. You can easily obtain half of these achievements in one single game. It should only take you 2-3 games to get all 32 of the in-game achievements. Most of the in-game achievements require you to throw or run for certain amount of yards or score a certain amount of TD's. If you leave the Quarter Length on 5 minutes you should be able to get all of these in no time. However, I would suggest you putting the Quarter Length at 1 minute and holding the ball as long as you can when you have it to get the "Pick-Free", "On Lockdown", and "Mmmmm.....Donut" achievements. To get the "Triple Threat" achievement simply play as the Florida Gators or the West Virginia Mountaineers as they both have fast QB's. Now throw a TD pass with the QB and then score a rushing TD with that QB as well. Then put in the backup QB and move the starting QB to either WR or TE and throw him the ball and have him score. To get the "That Just Happened" achievement when you get on the 1-yd line. Put your Punter in at QB and run a QB Sneak. Have him dive over to score the TD. After he scores you should get the "That Just Happened" achievement and the "Up and Over" achievement as well since you dived into the endzone. The rest of the in-game achievements are self explanatory and should be obtained within a couple of hours.

Step 2 (Dynasty achievements):


Most of the Dynasty achievements from '07 and '08 are back in '09 so you should be familiar with acquiring them by now. There are 7 Dynasty achievements worth a total of 155. First off pick a team that has a Conference Championship game. In total there are only 5 conference championship games. So pick a team from either the ACC, Big 12, C-USA, MAC, or the SEC conference. After you pick a team simply sim through the season making sure you go undefeated. After the season is over play the conference championship game making sure you win. After the game is over you should unlock the "Conference Champs" achievement. Once you get back to the schedule if you played with a team from the Big 12 or the SEC you should have also unlocked the "Heisman Memorial Trophy®" achievement. Now since you won that game and since you should have gone undefeated during the season you should be invited to play in the BCS Championship game. Make sure you play that game making sure you win it. After the game is over you should unlock the "National Champions" achievement and the "Out on a High Note" achievement. Now to get the "BCS Conference Invite", "Oil Tycoon", and "Mr. February" achievements refer to the Achievement Guide for NCAA Football 09. There are several methods to getting those achievements and one of them should work for you. That guide can be found HERE.

Step 3 (Campus Legend achievements):

There are only a few Campus Legend achievements and they're all relatively easy. You first want to make sure you win the High School state tournament that you play before you get an offer for college. That way you can get the "Russell High School Champ" achievement. While playing in the High School tournament you should get the "High School Hero" achievement as well during one of the games. Just make sure you play the best possible game and after the game is over you will get that achievement. Then accept a spot on a school where you will be the 2nd string QB. Now once the season begins go into practice. It should only take 2-4 practice sessions and you should be promoted to 1st string and you'll get the "Place at the Table!" achievement. Now to get the "The Legend of Campus Legend" achievement all you have to do is simulate seasons. I would start a new Campus Legend with Tim Tebow (#15 on the Florida Gators) or any good QB, HB, WR and simply sim seasons. You should easily unlock this achievement after the 2nd or 3rd season.

Step 4 (Mini-Game & Mascot achievements):

These are probably some of the easiest achievements in the game. All you have to do to get the Mascot achievements is simply play as the mascots respective team, like play as the Florida Gators to get the "Got Gator Bait?" achievement. As you're playing with the team after you score a touchdown on the side the mascot is on all you have to do is run over to the mascot and hit . The achievement for that certain mascot will then pop up. To get the mini-game achievements you can either play them with 2 controllers or you can play against the CPU on Freshman difficulty. Either way you will also get these achievements very easily. The mini-games in this years game are extremely easy to beat compared the the bowling achievement from '07 & '08.

Conclusion:

Now you should either have the full 1000 in this game or at least close to it. To get the 3 online achievements all you have to do is just start up an Online Dynasty on Xbox Live. Nobody has to join it just make one and you'll get the "Reach Out and Crush Someone" achievement. To get the "A/V Club President" achievement while in a game save a replay or photo and then once the game is over upload the photo or video to the EA Servers. Now to get the "Join the Ranks" achievement just simply finish an online game, you do not have to win the game. Oh and to get the "Create a Custom Sound" achievement make sure you have a few songs saved on your 360 and go to the Main Menu and add them to a chant. After you do that you should unlock this achievement.

There are 49 achievements with a total of 1000 points

  • Create a custom Stadium Sound event.

    This achievement requires:

    A playlist of songs saved on your Xbox 360.

    How to get a playlist:

    Get a CD of any songs and put it into your 360.
    Take the songs off of there and save them on your 360 under any name.
    Go into NCAA 09 and go to Stadium Sound.
    Pick your playlist off the list and select an event.
    Get the timing how ever you want it.
    Save it.

    Achievement Unlocked.

  • Make a Field Goal when "Iced".

    Set the Quarters to 1 Minute, set the Difficulty to Freshman. Run down the clock and waste time until the 4th Quarter. Now once you get to the 4th Quarter, make sure you it is a tied game. Get within the 30 and 20 yd. line and then call a Timeout with 0:02 seconds left. Once you do that, the AI will call a timeout also to try and Ice you, to get you off track, but it won't work. Now once they call that timeout the field goal meter is gonna be iced, but you can still see it to where you can make the field goal, just make the field goal and the achievement will unlock for you.

    Also you can get this and the 'Ice In Your Veins' achievement at the same time.
     
     
     
  • Successfully Complete a Quiz the QB Challenge.

    This achievement requires:

    Your QB to throw an interception.

    The quiz will pop up and show you three different plays, one of those plays is the defense’s last play. On the field it will run through different ‘scenes’ of that last play. Flip the right and left bumpers to go through the ‘scenes’. Look closely at each one and pick which one you think the defense ran. If a red X does not show up on the one you picked you will get the achievement.

  • While playing as the Tennessee Volunteers, celebrate a touchdown by running to your mascot.

    See 'Got Gator Bait?'

  • While playing as the Texas Longhorns, celebrate a touchdown by running to your mascot.

    See 'Got Gator Bait?'

  • While playing as the Florida Gators, celebrate a touchdown by running to your mascot.

    First off, you have to play as a team with a mascot (The achievements involve Florida, Texas, and the Vols). Then make sure when you score the touchdown your mascot is at that end of the field. Now when you score the touchdown you can run around with your player. Take your player towards the mascot. Now there will be an animation where your mascot and player will do something (Like a dance). There is no button pressing involved. Just run over to your mascot, that's all you have to do. The achievement will unlock after you run over to your mascot. Do what it shows in the video for the Tennessee and for the Texas achievement.

  • Play a Mascot Game with any mascot teams.

    Go to:

    -Main Menu
    -Game Modes
    -Coke ZeroTM Mascot Mash up

    Then just select any mascots, as they are all 99 ratings. The achievement will unlock before the coin toss. Then you can either play the game to get the other achievements, but I wouldn't recommend it as all of the mascots are a 99 rating. So I would just quit out once you get the achievement.

  • As the away team, get into the endzone in the first 30 seconds of the game.

    Another easy achievement, once again as stated before play against Army or you can adjust the AI sliders to where they are horrible, but playing as Army is easy as well. I picked Florida as my team, make sure you win the coin toss( If you don't win the coin toss then you won't be able to score within the first 30 seconds). Once you win the coin toss, try your best to run the Kick off back, if you can't then get it as close to the endzone as possible.

    Now after you return the Kick off, you will only have about 25-26 seconds to get into the endzone. You can either run the option, like I did, or you can adjust the sliders and choose Hail Mary, which would be the easiest way to do it. Or you can choose a passing play that has a corner route in it, Army will never send a guy to cover the WR for the whole corner route. You will get the achievement after you score a TD in less than 30 seconds.

    ***Easier Method***
    Set the sliders to 0(Especially speed). Make sure you win the coin toss. Then try to run back the opening kickoff, if that doesn't work, then try the above method and get in the endzone before 30 seconds is up.

  • Score a receiving, rushing, and passing touchdown with one player.

    This requires:

    A QB that can catch/carry.
    A WR that can throw/carry.
    A RB that can catch/throw.

    I chose the Gators with Tim Tebow to get the passing and rushing out of the way.

    Passing:
    Follow the steps in ‘Let The Air Out’

    Rushing:
    Get to the one yard line and run out of bounds. Now pick QB Blast/Sneak. Run it straight up the middle.

    Catching:
    Go into Depth Chart and change your WR to your QB. Now get the ball to at least the 5 yard line. Pick a short pass play. Toss the ball up to your QB and get into the endzone. Achievement unlocked.

  • Do not throw any interceptions in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    Set the Quarters to 1 Minute, Set the Difficulty to Freshman, now whenever you get the ball, just run out as much clock as possible. You do not have to win the game to get the achievement, just make sure you throw no INT's.

  • Win a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game by 21 points or more.

    Set the Quarters to 3 Minutes, set the Difficulty to Freshman. Play against Army, since you are playing against Army, you will easily win by more than 21 points. But if you wanna make it more easy, just change all of the sliders for the AI to make them even worse, but you really don't have to do that as Army is the worst team in this years game by far. You will not get this achievement until the game is over, so you must play the whole entire game to get this achievement.

  • Score a touchdown with your receiver by performing a toe-drag animation.

    For this Achievement I used Maryland but you can use any team with a good WR. So what I did was drive my team into the Redzone(preferably inside the 10) and have your #1 WR run a cross in the ENDZONE when he gets towards the sideline throw the ball so that it leads him and he will make a Toedrag catch and if it is a touchdown then voila, Achievement unlocked.
     
  • On a non-option play, score a TD with at least one lateral.

    Using the 2 controller method... While your on offense pick the Hail Mary. Select "Field Goal Block" for your 2nd controller. When the play starts they will rush at you, dump the ball to one of your 4 receivers wide open and run down the field. Once your down field group with your guys and lateral () to one of them and then score your TD.

  • Score a rushing touchdown with your punter in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    People also keep asking me how I got this achievement, it is actually quite easy. Drive down the field to the 1 yd. line. Once you're on the 1 yd. line, go to:

    -Pause Menu
    -Strategy
    -Depth Chart

    Then put you P at the QB position. After that, go the Goal Line plays, select QB Sneak, after you select that play run the ball in the endzone with your Punter. After you score with your Punter the achievement will unlock.

  • Complete a pass for 50 or more yards in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    Just make sure you are behind the 50 yd. line and then once you see somebody open, throw it to him. You don't have to score a TD to get this achievement. I used Florida for this achievement, I played against Army, I selected:

    -Shotgun
    -Normal
    -PA QB Choice

    I threw the ball to Percy Harvin(#1) and after he caught it I ran to the endzone and the achievement unlocked.

  • Break a run for 49 or more yards in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    Just make sure you are behind the 50 yd. line and then once you see somebody open, throw it to him. Then just run 50 yards. You don't have to score a TD to get this achievement. I used Florida for this achievement, I played against Army, I selected:

    -Shotgun
    -Ace
    -Speed Option

    If the defense is fixing to tackle Tebow, hit the to pitch the ball to the HB. It shouldn't take you long at all to get this achievement, you should be able to get it on your first attempt, since Army has no defense.

  • Be the hero and win a game by taking the lead as time expires.

    Follow the offsides trick to auto-sack the QB but move away from the QB some. Now when the QB hikes the ball either go up or down on the towards the QB to sack him with a hit stick. If that doesnt work stand in front of the Punter on 4th down and use the same trick.

    What I did was, I punted the ball and then my opponents Punt Returner didn't call Fair Catch, so I Hit Sticked him and the ball came out, then the achievement unlocked.

  • Jar the ball loose with a User-Controlled Hit Stick tackle.

    See 'Record Breaker'

  • Intercept 2 passes in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    This achievement requires (to make it easy):

    2 controllers
    2 people

    Go into a Play Now game at 15 minute quarters. Choose a team with a good defense (any top 5 team or a custom roster team). Choose a team with an okay offense (low Top 25 or B offense). With your defense team pick to receive second and kick first. Now with the offense choose a Hail Mary play. With the Defense choose Prevent. They will be max covered with all WR running out. Now with the offense run backwards and turn to press . The ball will fall short and your defense should pick it off. Make sure it is the same receiver intercepting it at least 6 times to get the achievement. Now either run back the pick for the ‘Pick 6!’ achievement or punt the ball off the first play you get. Once you check your stats and a player has 6 interceptions super sim the rest of the game.

  • Break the game record for interceptions with one player (5) in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    This achievement requires (to make it easy):

    2 controllers
    2 people

    Go into a Play Now game at 15 minute quarters. Choose a team with a good defense (any top 5 team or a custom roster team). Choose a team with an okay offense (low Top 25 or B offense). With your defense team pick to receive second and kick first. Now with the offense choose a Hail Mary play. With the Defense choose Prevent. They will be max covered with all WR running out. Now with the offense run backwards and turn to press . The ball will fall short and your defense should pick it off. Make sure it is the same receiver intercepting it at least 6 times to get the achievement. Now either run back the pick for the ‘Pick 6!’ achievement or punt the ball off the first play you get. Once you check your stats and a player has 6 interceptions super sim the rest of the game.

  • Take an interception back to the house in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    You can either play Army again, or you can adjust the sliders to make the opposing team horrible. This one might take a while as sometimes a slow person will intercept the ball, or as soon as you intercept it you'll get tackled. But what I did was, I adjusted all of the speed sliders and tackling sliders. Then once I finally intercepted the ball, they couldn't catch me or tackle me. That as of right now is the easiest way I can think of to get this achievement.

  • Scoop a fumble on defense and take it to the house in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    Alright this is the only way I can think of for anybody to get this achievement, if you know of an easier way let me know and I will post it in here and give you credit for it.

    Set all of the AI sliders to the left so that they are even more horrible and turn Offsides off. Now force your opponent into a Punting situation. Now run offsides(Make sure offsides is off) and try to block the punt as that counts as a fumble, now the punter will try to jump on the ball fast, so make sure he doesn't. Now pick it up and run into the endzone, the achievement will unlock after you get into the endzone.

  • Sack the QB with a user-controlled defender on 3rd down to force a punt situation.

    Here is the cheap and easy way to do this achievement:

    Go into Settings and turn offsides all the way to 0.
    Pick a defender and make them stand behind the QB.
    Once the QB hikes the ball it will be a sack, just do this on third down and the achievement will unlock.

  • Hold the opposition to under 100 total yards in a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game.

    Set the Quarters to 1 Minute, set the Difficulty to Freshman. Once again either play as Army or adjust the sliders. Just score first and then stop them by either making them punt or by making them fumble or by them throwing a interception. Everytime you get the ball after you score, just run down the clock and waste time and once the game is over the achievement will unlock.

  • Take it up the middle in a goalline situation and dive into the endzone.

    Pretty easy, all you do is drive the ball down the field until you get to the 1 yd. line. Then pick a running play from the Goal Line plays. Once the QB hands the ball off(If you are on the 1 yd. line), hit the to dive over your Offensive Linemen and into the Endzone. Once you score the TD, the achievement will unlock.
     
  • Force a safety in Play Now or Dynasty Mode.

     Get the ball to the opponents 1 yard line and run out of bounds. Now spike the ball until it is a turnover. Follow the offsides trick to stand behind the QB and sack him. Achievement Unlocked.
     
  • Pitch a shutout by holding your opponent to zero points. Valid only in Play Now or Dynasty Mode.

    Set the Quarters to 1 Minute, set the Difficulty to Freshman. Now once again, play against Army or just adjust the sliders to make your opponent horrible. Just run out the clock and waste as much time as possible, just make sure you score at least a field goal and once the game is over the achievement will unlock.

  • Return a missed field goal for a touchdown. Only valid in Play Now or Dynasty Mode.

    Using the 2 controller method... As soon as you start a game select "Field Goal" with your second controller (If on offense, if contoller 1 is on offense just punt to the 2nd controller). Select "FG Block Return" with your controller. Now press down on the right stick to kick the ball, but dont press up and it will be a short kick. Your guy should run up and catch/attempt to catch the ball (If he isnt getting to the ball in time, before you kick the ball move him forward a little bit). Run through the defenders and score a TD. *Keep trying the method of you punting when you get the ball, and controller 2 kicking FG's everytime it has the ball*

  • Take a punt or kickoff back to the house for a touchdown. Valid only in Play Now or Dynasty Mode.

    This one is tough. Okay first off have the punt returner be fast and strong. I recommend a WR. Then when the punt happens run for your life. Impact Stick it(), Spin() and Hurdle(), Stiff Arm() and the works. Once you break the line it is a home stretch.

    Another way is to make the team you are playing against have 0 speed on everyone. They then move so slow you could walk past them. To make them have 0 speed go into rosters and change all of the other team to 0 speed.

  • Upload a Video or Photo Highlight.

    After you play a game, go to:

    -Main Menu
    -My NCAA 09
    -My Legacy
    -EA Sports Highlights

    After you click on EA Sports Highlights, either select Play Now or Dynasty, whichever you played games in. Then pick one of the games you played, once you do that there should be Videos and Photos on the screen, click on either one of the photos or videos. Then a pop up should come up that says Upload Confirmation, click yes. Once the video or photo uploads, the achievement will unlock

    Now I uploaded a Photo, as when I tried to upload a video, it didn't want to upload. But it may want to upload for you, but just upload one of the photos. You don't have to take any photos, as you play games the game will take pictures for you throughout the game.

  • Play a ranked game.

    Just go to:

    -Xbox Live
    -Quick Match
    -Ranked Match

    And then once the game starts the achievement will unlock, you don't have to play the whole game to get the achievement.

  • Join or Host an Online Dynasty.

    Go to:

    -Xbox Live
    -Dynasty
    -Create Dynasty
    -Either select New or Host Existing Dynasty

    Once there, just select a team, doesn't matter which team you select and then just keep hitting OK until the save screen comes up, after you save the Online Dynasty the achievement should pop up.

  • Get an invite to a BCS conference in single team Dynasty Mode.

    Start a season with TCU (They are in the MWC)and go undefeated, and win the National Championship. When you advance to the next season it should unlock. If not have a save right before the National Championship, reload, win, and see if it works. If not just keep reloading. This method only takes one season. ***You can also try Hawaii but that method takes 4 undefeated seasons, instead of one season***


    I tried Boise State, and it unlocked after three seasons. I went undefeated the first season, and won my bowl (not national championship, I was like a #4 rank). In year two, I simmed straight through, undefeated, and lost my bowl game. Year three was the same, undefeated and lost the bowl game. I let years 2 and 3 sim straight through, and I really didnt care if I went undefeated in those. After year three, I was invited to the Pac-10. Once the invite pops up, the achievement unlocks, and you don't have to accept the invite if you don't want to. The invite screen came up after I simmed the BCS Title game, before the off-season activities started.

    Hope this helps out everyone getting frustrated with this achievement. Some have reported success with Hawai'i, but a 4-8 sim my first season made me try Boise State. Boise State seems like a solid enough team to just let them sim through, without needing to reload every time you lose. It is definately not necessary to go undefeated for 5+ seasons to receive an invite.

  • Play and win a conference championship game in single team Dynasty Mode or Campus Legend Mode.

    You first have to pick a team with a conference championship( Either the SEC, Big 12, MAC, C-USA, and the ACC), then win enough games to get into the conference game and win it. You can sim the whole season, and you can use super-sim during the game, but you can not sim the entire game. Once you get the conference game, choose to play it, then sim from within the game if you want or you can play it as I did.

  • Win the Heisman Memorial Trophy® in single team Dynasty Mode or Campus Legend Mode.

    You can do this yourself by doing a lot of run or pass plays with a good team's QB or HB. Or just pick one of the top schools and sim, hoping to get lucky. You might wanna choose the Florida Gators as when my Dynasty began,Tim Tebow was a candidate for the Heisman. Just make sure he has good games and watch and make sure he stays in the Heisman Watch, if he has bad games or drop out of the Heisman watch, just reload your Dynasty and start over. Chase Daniel from Missouri will also work great for this achievement.

  • Play and win a bowl game in single team Dynasty Mode or Campus Legend Mode.

    First you need to get to a bowl game, then you need to win it. Unlike 07, the National Championship counts toward this achievement as well, so don't worry about doing too good that you don't get in a traditional bowl game. The worst possible record you can have to get into a bowl game is 6-6, and you might not get in to a bowl game if that's your record. So to make sure you make it to a bowl game, make sure you win at least 7 or 8 games. Also be a team ranked in the Top 10, as they will surely make it to a bowl game.

  • Play and win a BCS championship in single team Dynasty Mode or Campus Legend Mode.

    Same method as always, play or sim to win enough games and then choose to play this one. You can play it out or sim from within the game using supersim for the win. You either have to play the game or Supersim the game, you can not sim the game from the Schedule and get the achievement.

    Also, You can change the stats of the team to max 99 on everything before you start the season. You will win the championship and get it in about 2 seasons.

    You will also unlock 'Out On a High Note' along with this achievement.

  • Develop a new pipeline state in single team Dynasty Mode.

    To get a pipeline state, you have to sign a few people from the same state each year. To do this, just target every person from a neighboring state and work on signing as many as possible.

  • Have the #1 ranked recruiting class in a season in single team Dynasty Mode.

    Alright this achievement is way easier in this year's game than in last year's game. What I did was I played as the Florida Gators. I made sure I went undefeated and won the SEC Championship. Then Tebow won the Heisman(Don't think that helped though), and I also won the BCS Championship. Once you go to the Offseason screen, just sim to the Recruiting Phase, then once there, sim through Week 5, now once Week 5 is over, go to Top Classes and if you're No.1 and the achievement hasn't unlocked yet don't worry as it will not unlock until you start simming the rest of the offseason.

    Like I said I chose Florida, but anybody in the Top 10 will work, but for some reason I couldn't get the No.1 draft class with Georgia. I would suggest either picking Florida, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, or Tennessee as they are highly ranked and are well known. teams.

    Save your dynasty before you start the recruiting phase in the off season. If you don't get it after the first season, just load your dynasty back up and try again. Also, during the season, try some in season recruiting as that will also help out towards getting this achievement.

  • Win the H.O.R.S.E mini-game.

    Move the spot of the ball in this mini-game up to an easier 15-20 yd field goal. Beat your opponent and win. Can be done with a 2nd controller and can be done on the 3 letter P.I.G. version.

    Here's what I did, I played as Florida vs Army, since Army isn't a very good team and since they don't have a good Kicker I chose them. Also Florida's Kicker can kick up to a 55 yd. field goal. So what I did was I just kicked 51 yd. Field Goal's, as I mad the FG Army's Kicker would miss everytime. Boom! easy achievement. I also played the P.I.G. game.

  • Win the Special Teams Challenge Mini-Game.

    All you do here is play with your special team, ie. Field Goal unit, Punt team, and Kickoff team. To win you have to be in Field Goal range and you must make the field goal to win, if you miss the field goal, you will have to kick the ball of to them. If you're too far out to get a field goal, you need to punt the ball.

    Guess what I did to get this achievement, yep that's right I played against Army again, and I played as Florida. What a surprise, right? You can also adjust the sliders for this achievement, as well as set the difficulty to Freshman.

    What happened to me was, I got the ball first, and then punted(you have too), then Army punted the ball back to me, and since Army has no Punter or a team in this game, the ball only went about 20 yards, so I ran the ball back to their 30 yd. line, kicked a field goal and won the mini-game, after you kick the field goal and win, the achievement will unlock.

  • Win the Russell High School Championship Game in any state.

    Well first, go to Campus legend mode then chose to create your own player. Once you do that you will be at the create-a-player screen. So you can adjust what you want to or not. After you finish that you will be taken to the Rusell Tournament bracket you have to play 4 games in total and win them all. I don't know if you can simulate for this but I played them all and when I won the last game I got this achievement. Along with High School Hero.

  • Earn More Than 1,000 Points in Campus Legend Mode.

    If you look at your career menu(2nd one from top) it will tell you at the top of the screen how many points you have. You can get 1000 points by the end of the first season. Just play every game and go to the National Championship, and win. Also make sure you win the Heisman, as that will help out at getting the 1000 points. You get about 50 points a game for winning, and a good outing.

    ***1st Alternate Method***I would start the game by doing nothing but passes until I got 300 yards and 3 TDS, then Id run until I got 200 yards and 2 rushing TDS (Im pretty sure you get bonus points for doing each of these in a game) By the 10th game your guy and team are so elite that you have the national championship and Hiesman wrapped up and you can sim the rest of the season (be sure to back up your file incase your team bombs the last 2 games of the season)

    ***2nd Alternate Method***For the Campus Legend 1000 points, I used Tebow and simmed for two years and got the achievement easily. He starts as a JR and after year one I had 400 + points and then in the final year (2nd year) he won the heisman at the end. They played in a good bowl both years, but it wasnt the BCS Championship. I think this method should work out easily.

    Also you will earn more points by choosing to be a QB, you can audible out of every play and everytime you throw long passes and TD's, you'll earn points towards this achievement.

  • Become a Starter in Campus Legend Mode.

    When you finish the High School state chamionship, every top 25 school will recruit you(If you played good enough). Pick a team that says you will be the 2nd string for your chosen positon and start your college career.

    Once into your career select practice and try and score touchdowns, get first downs, etc... during practice. While you practice you will notice in the bottom left corner it says points till depth chart position. Get this all the way to 0, and when you finish your last practice the achievement will unlock. It should take 2-3 days of practice to claim the starting job, depending on how good you do in practice. If you're 2nd string on a not so good team, it will only take you a few days of practice, but if you are 2nd string on a team like Florida, then it might take 2-3 weeks of practice. The better the team is, the more points you need to get to become the starter.

  • Become a 5-star legend prospect.

    Can really be done as the same time as winning the high school championship trophy. If you score a few TDs per game as a high school HB or QB during the tourney, you should be a 5 star recruit once you win the state championship. I was four stars after each game and I had a sub-par championship game, and it still propelled me to the 5 star level.

  • Win a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game when down by 14 to start the 4th qtr. (Min Difficulty: Varsity)

    Set Quarter Length to 2 minutes, Difficulty must be set to Varsity to get the achievement, if the difficulty is not set to Varsity the achievement will not unlock. Then just select Field Goal Block until they are up by at least 14. If you select Field Goal Block, more than 90% of the they will audible to a throwing play, but sometimes the stupid AI still wants to run the ball. Now once you are down by 14, just run down clock, waste time, then once the 4th Quarter starts, just start scoring and scoring until you take the lead, then again just run down the clock and waste time.

  • Complete a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game with a Red Zone Efficiency rating of 100%.

    Simply score every time you get inside the 20yd Line. If you're having trouble, just get inside once and score, then punt the ball every time you have it so you don't have to worry about messing up. Easiest way to do this achievement is set the Quarters to 1 Minute, then go into the Red Zone and score. After you do that, just run out the clock and you'll get the achievement, as you only have to score inside the Red Zone once.

  • Complete a Play Now or Dynasty Mode game without allowing a Touchdown from the Red Zone.

    You first need to let the other team get inside your 20yd Line, then stop them from scoring a touchdown. Field goals are fine. Do this every time they get inside. If you're having trouble, just let them in once, then use no offsides and sack the QB every time they have the ball.

 

Secret achievements

  • Throw the ball away on 4th down. Nice one.

    Just get into a 4th down situation, spike the ball, run and dive, throw it away, whatever just get into a 4th down situation. Then once on 4th Down press the to throw the ball away. Once you throw it away the achievement will unlock.
