This was by far one of the hardest achievement to obtain in this game. This literally took me around 100 tries. Here are a couple things that you should do to give you the best chance.

*Must be 60-62 yard away (can be a pain in the ass just setting yourself up there)
*Use the play All Streaks
*Throw to the far right receiver.
*The defensive lineman can't immediately break through the line, which it does every couple plays. There must be enough time for your receiver to get down the field.
*Once the ball is caught by the receiver (approx 30 yards down field), the corner back must miss the tackle from behind you. After that tackle is missed, the safety will come at you and you must avoid his tackle too. (There is no special way to avoid a tackle, you must run hard, keep good form and pray they miss the tackle)
*After all that, a random defensive player will come out of no where and try and tackle you. If you are not running hard he will get you down before the end zone.
*Get those knees up and pump those arms fast, you must go at top speed!

The stars must align for this achievo to pop. Good luck! Any more questions please PM me.

Also a note: if you jump, it causes your player to move side to side to dodge a tackle. This will aid in avoiding the tackle.

Thanks Biggs, finally got that achievement with your solution. Also when the 2nd tackler comes from the left lean a bit to right, at least it helped me dodging him and getting the cheevo.

By Citizen Snickey on 28 Nov 2011 18:02

I threw to the far left receiver. Works in a similar fashion I guess.

Can anyone confirm Caboose54's comment? It would take a little of the blind luck out of the game if it were true.

Just try it! I've read several places to jump and perform a "juke" move as they near you. Giving this a shot tonight.

By Das Kuhnen on 04 Jan 2012 13:47

Jumping just before you get tackled does indeed perform a Juke move. I have found it only appears to work on the Safety that comes to tackly you after you have caught the pass, the rest just appears to be down to how fast you run.

By WerkGuy on 13 Jan 2012 18:41

After failing this for an hour I attempted a new strategy. Instead of running as quickly as possible, I slowed it down to a jog. When a defender got close, I added a short burst of speed and leaned away from the tackle. Near the goal line, the burst of speed made my avatar jump forward to dodge the tackle coming from behind. I scored on my second attempt from 65 yards. Probably just dumb luck or coincidence, but it may be worth a try.

By Finknuts on 22 Jan 2012 00:24

jump to juke, lean away and even throw in a stiff arm, and agree that it seems as if speed boost when player gets close may be better than run like hell from the start.... Especially for older people like me

By AgentCastle on 07 Feb 2012 17:24

I used a combination of the above tips, and got this on my first real attempt.

63 yards, strong throw to the right. Slow paced run, followed by short bursts when about to get tackled, small dodge past the second, then sprint to the end. Phew!

By drabik on 13 Mar 2012 17:14

I was mainly going for another achievement, until I decided to try this a few times. Next thing you know, 2nd try, chieve unlocked! I now feel special

By i am 4orty2wo on 08 Apr 2012 12:10

This took me around 100 tries as well. I didn't jump, and sprinted only when a defender was approaching. Always started when I was 60-65 yards away, and came within 3 yards of the end zone at least 20 times. On the plus side, I burned nearly 2000 calories while going for this achievement! Score!

By FreeskierInVT on 07 Jul 2012 22:57

I'm stuck on this and All the Way. This video from E3 2011 shows a 50 yard passing play (last half of video).

The runner seems to speed up to juke. I wonder if jukes are just caused by high knees, which could happen during a jump or a burst of speed. I don't know if this video is in any way helpful, but it's the only video I've seen of a player's actions.

By MathGuy42 on 06 Aug 2012 18:16

The last one always gets me, Im over 50 attempts tried everything

By raidenhardcore on 07 Aug 2012 14:05

This post helped me the most, especially the advice to wait until the lineman starts to break through.

Got it from 63 yards. Still took several tries. It may be random whether the last guy knocks you back, sideways, or forward (which you need).

By MathGuy42 on 07 Aug 2012 19:59

Yeah that last defender is kickin my ass too. It's like they have a backfield of Kurt Coleman's and Adrian Wilson's. I keep getting stopped right in the redzone, no matter how slow or fast I go and on every difficulty. That last guy somehow keeps catching me.

By Loofahdog on 11 Sep 2012 01:49

I haven't see it mentioned anywhere so I thought I'd bring it up. Yesterday while the football was loading one of the tips said something to the effect of "If you throw the ball harder your reciever has a better chance of running with it." After reading that I started throwing the ball a lot harder than I use to. I still haven't gotten this achievement, but at least I'm completing nearly every pass now that I throw it harder.

By Kroktapus on 13 Jun 2013 14:59

1st attempt at this I got tackled at the one yard line....4 attempts later and no dice yet. That last guy is a major baboons ass!

By NINja277 on 03 Oct 2013 10:30

After a lot of attempts using all of the above I still did not get it. Decided to try something else, got to 61 yard line and chose all streaks, waited as long as possible and threw a strong pass to the right. Moved my legs v fast but did not use high knees so very fast legs close to the floor and moved arms also. Just leaned to right to avoid tackle and on 2nd try bloop bloop chevo popped. U don't even break a sweat as it is so much easier than high knees. Strong pass to right and best of luck :-)

By MR WARL0RD on 04 Feb 2014 15:16

Unobtainable achievement since day 1 of this game.

By on 27 Mar 2014 23:28

Tried small steps as warlord stated at least 50 times with no dice. I finally got (just now) by waiting as long as possible to throw then high knees and fast arms pumping. The game WILL recognize juke moves so leaning or lightly hopping away from the safety makes him miss. After that, it's extremely difficult to make the guy from behind miss. You've got to beat him to the endzone running as fast as you can. He tackled me into the endzone and I got it. Anything more than 64 yards away is going to just about impossible. I got field position (62 yards away) by taking the kickoff and making the first three defenders miss, then let the fourth take me down. Good luck to all.

By ChardPT on 09 Jan 2015 03:59

The trick is to reach 60 yard. I ran until 75 (2nd defender), than during 1st down I made a throw to reach 51 and for 2nd down I let them to tackle me before I could pass. For 3rd down I was with 60 yard. Very easy to reach end zone with a good pass.

By rafa1000house on 16 Feb 2015 00:37

First try from 60 yard exactly and I was stopped 1 yrd before the endzone. DAMN! Got it after 10-15 attempts. When you avoid all 3 guys at the kickoff, let the 4th tackle you. I often started exactly at the 60 yard line then. I used well timed jumps to juke most of the tackles. You dont need to jump to the right or left as far as I could observe. Small jumps with both feet up makes the avatar juke in the necessary direction. Last guy is impossible to beat I think. I was tackled into the endzone with a pass from 63 yards finally :).

By Orran Durai on 02 Feb 2016 07:53

got it second try, must be lucky, i threw it to the left on a long pass.

By rocking23nf on 05 Dec 2017 06:53

Did it in vs controlling both teams! Made the fatal error doing it with player 2 first time. Took me many more attempts and finally just got this one. Jump high and hi knees is the key. Jump really high!

By MattiasAnderson on 12 Mar 2019 19:27

Got it going for left side. 60 yds to go.

This achievement takes some practice, it isn't as hard as you think once you get the strategy. Here's a video I made getting this achievement.

Step 1 - Run at full speed dodging the first tackler and then get sacked by the second.

Step 2 - Go to the playbook, select Short Pass and while in play throw it to any available teammate. If they aren't available retry this step again.

Step 3 - If you are 61-64 yards away, select All Streaks from the playbook. If not, select Medium Pass to gain some distance.

Step 4 - Throw the ball to your teammate on the far right hand side when he passes the defender (right before you get sacked).

Step 5 - Once you receive the ball run at full speed. The first tackler will come from behind, once he misses run at half speed and then juke to the right dodging the second tackler. When you pass him run at full speed towards the end zone before the third tackler takes you down.

Good luck!

I'm glad it helped.

By SaidaiKanpeki on 26 Oct 2014 06:55

I Did the same thing with the last part. Run like hell and was tackled just over the line for the touch down. I recieved the ball and made it past 2 tacklers and got hit by a third which put me at 61 yards.

This can be quite hard, and for some may depend on a little bit of luck to get the ideal situation. For starters, you want to be as close as you can to your own 40 yard line as possible, whether it be on the kick return or completing some short passes to move ahead, or even getting sacked to move back 5-10 yards. You’re more than likely going to want to use either of the long passes then for your 60+ yard pass.

Hike the ball, and keep and eye on your receivers. Allow them to get open, then wait a bit to let them travel down field. Throw a strong pass so they get it on the run. Once you catch it, you’re in control of the receiver now. There’s a guy or two that you need to juke, and every time there’s a guy from behind that will always catch you. The final guy from behind will always tackle you. There's no way of avoiding it. Before trying to juke the last one, you may find that you can’t, so you may as well try to out run them instead. Hopefully they don’t catch up to you until the 2 yard line or so and drag you in for a touchdown. So, juke the first one or two people, then out run the last. Everything really needs to come together for this one.
