How to unlock the All-Madden Shut Out achievement in Madden NFL 07 - Definitive Guide
If you can get this legitimately... Wow! If you're like me and believe that All-Madden is full of ridiculous fumble-fumble-fumble plays and interception after interceptions, then here is what I did:
Set the game length to whatever you feel you could stand to be beaten. In my case, 1 minute.
Choose a team with a weak offense to play, and play against a team with a strong offense. If the team you choose can also have a weak defense... great! You'll see why...
If you get the coin flip, choose to receive so you can kick during the half.
At every opportunity, either let them score or run out the clock by doing a running play and just sitting still. By the end of the 3rd quarter, you should be down by at least 2 touchdowns. At this point, hit start, go down to where you can select a team, and swap your control to the other side. At the end of the current play, you'll be playing as your opponent!
Now, some things to watch out for:
- Don't let the other team get a safety on you... this happened to me 3 times cause I was running away to run out the clock and forgot about the achievement.
- Keep the ball. Doing a running play, then for your next play, let the play clock get down to about 5 seconds, then choose your next running play. Run the ball wherever, then let it sit again. Doing this twice should easily run the clock out entirely...
Upon the end of the game, assuming your chosen team had 0 points and your "opponent" had more than 1 point, you'll get the achievement!

This one can be tricky. To cheat for it...set quarter length to 1 min. Turn off offsides. If they get the ball 1st, just park your defender next to their QB and sack him every play. You can do the same for their punter. On offense, just get a score. I used the Falcons with Michael Vick running on passing plays. The game ends before you know it!
Start a game, pick any teams on all-madden mode and let yourself get creamed. Don't even try to score, just waste the clock with runs and give them a touchdown. Then with a few seconds left, switch your controller to the other (winning) team and finish out the game.
You can put sliders in your favor and use 1-minute quarters to make it even easier if need be.
