How to unlock the Swaggerlicious achievement in BACKBREAKER - Definitive Guide

I tried to get the achievement the way it seemed to work for other players. However, I couldn't get it, even with trying it for a few 60-minute-games. With this method it unlocked on my first attept within the first minute of actually playing.

You wanna give yourself as much room as possible to run! So when you receive a punt or a kick, run backwards to one side of the field while everybody chases you. When your opponents get close, start running to the other side of the field (parallelly to your own endzone). Once you reached the other corner of your field start sprinting towards your opponents endzone. When you're at about the 30 yard line start to showboat (press and hold A on standard controls, Y on alternative controls when not in aggressive mode)

Additionally, I set the difficulty to easy, mode to arcade and created a custom team, which was based on strength, a balanced defense and a rushing offense. Select 11 gold offense and defense players and you should be fine.

Also, play against the Nashville Guardians as they got quite a lot slow players and with your golden punt/kick returner it shouldn't be that hard to complete the run!

It's actually not a safety if you fumble the football and one of your guys picks it up in the opposing endzone, it's a touchdown. Well done anyway :)

I suggest that this solution is good enouth, just perform several attempts and you'll get it in this way. I did.

I did mine on a punt return with the all star team (the one you unlock when beating road to backbreaker). It should be noted to HOLD A once you get to around the 30 yard line when going in to score. Also let go of RT before you hold A as you can't showboat when holding RT.

All i did was play an exhibition game between the Spartans and the Guardians. As the Spartans when you get the ball run backward till your at the 20, throw a hail mary the next play to a reciever past everyone, showboat and hope you dont get hit(you shouldnt get hit since the Spartans have some of the fastest players and the Guardians have some of the slowest)

Showboating is done by holding the button if you are using regular controls and if you are using alternative controls. You can do this at anytime, if you feel safe go for it. However if you get hit while showboating you will fumble the ball.

Tip from Lordilson:
Create a custom team and have 11 Gold Star Offensive Players. Go into an Exhibition Game with the mode on Easy and go against a bad defense. When you get the ball choose "Run Left". When you get the ball run diagonaly left until you pass the line of scrimmage and just run it straight. When you get near the 25 yard line, hold and showboat. Your blockers should be good enough to not let anyone near you.

This one can be tricky and requires a little luck. Pick a running play preferably one that makes you run either left or right. Once you start running in the direction of the play and get close to the out of bounds area start running straight towards the opponents endzone. If you are lucky the players covering you will take down any defenders leaving you for a clear run at the endzone.

As you approach the 30 yard line hold the down the button to start to showboat and don't let go until you get a touch down. If you are caught by a defender and they tackle you it will result in a fumble so be careful.

You can put on airs when you press and hold (normal settings) or (alternative settings. Only do this when you are confident that you are out of reach of enemies, as if you are pushed, you will lose the ball.
