How to unlock the 20 Completions in a Row achievement in Madden NFL 08 - Definitive Guide

The way i got this (after much trouble) was set a game playing as steelers vs texans, rookie difficulty, 5mins qtrs, offisides off. Once you have the ball (try and start from behind your own 10yrd line (this gives you enough room to go 20 plays before scoring). Use the play 'short slants' and always pass to 'RB' (not sure of the players name). Before you pass the ball to him make sure your QB is behind the player you pass to, this makes sure you make a forward pass. He will easily make the 1st down so always make use of the 4 plays you have to reach the 10 yrds, making 2/3 yrds on each play.
If you follow this method you will also unlock the '10 cathes in a row' achievement as well as you pass to the same player for the full 20 plays. Always make sure you catch the ball and not miss/fumble the ball. Once you are sure you have complete 20+ consecutive plays you can supersim the rest of the game and it should unlock when the game finishes.

Any questions id be happy to help

Hope it helps.

Awesome...worked for me vs computer....just kept throwing to my rb with the same play....pats vs. dolphins...you don't need positive yards either...key is changing 3rd back to your primary back so that you will throw to same guy 20 times...also no fatigue and no injuries is key...thanks for advise people...didn't realize that you need to have 20 catches from the same player and qb on the same drive....

Great Solution. I kept completing the HB screen but obviously wasn't completing the "forward" part of the pass every time. This solution workied the first time. Thanks!

Tried other methods many times, got it first time with this one. Just like the above comment, it must be something to do with throwing the ball forward.

Awesome man. I was getting so frustrated with these two achievements because nobody else described exactly what counts and the forward pass thing thanks do much. And just in case anybody is wondering, if you get sacked on one of the plays you don't have to reset your count. I got sacked after 14 completions, did 6 more, and got both achievements. Thanks again!

i got this on multiple drives.1st drive 13, 2nd drive 15,3rd drive 18. No drive w/ 20 & still poped! So it seems it's 20 in a row not 20 in 1 drive. Alot less stressfull also used 2 controller w/ 2nd team defensive play- special teams, punt return! Just make sure to take a few steps back w/QB so the RB catches a forward pass.Had this by 2nd quarter[5min] supersimmed rest of game & achv unlocked. Thanks a lot dude!! worked like a charm

Worked first try, man I tried so many times playing as the Colts against weaker teams but always end up missing 1 pass whenever I got close. With your solution I was done in the first quarter - simmed the rest of the game - achievement unlocked and I moved on with my life. Big thx

I used this guide first and did it about 50 or so passes. no achievement. read about it a bit more. Add this fact to the tip,

If it's not unlocking and you KNOW you've done 20+ then delete everything Madden 08 off of your hard drive.

Great guide, but after many tries I was unable to get this ach with a couple 20+ streaks.

After reading his comment, I tried TonySki's suggestion. And on the first try it popped, just try deleting your madden 08 file as he suggested if your having problems with this one then follow the guide above.

I struggled with this too, and it wasn't unlocking for me even though I knew I'd done it. What I did is the moment I had 20+ catches and 10+ with same guy, since it was the start of the game and I knew the completion % was perfect, was I took out both my QB and receiver (A. Gates from San Diego) on the depth chart and replaced them with backups to make sure they never saw another snap, and preserve the achievement. Worked for me after getting so frustrated with this.

Awesome guide got it first try, in used a second controller and always picked the defense play 3 Deep, that play makes it to where your receiver on offense has a open area to catch the ball and run, pause the game periodically and go to game stats to see how many passes in a row you have.

Years later, but wanted to chime in that I had LOTS of difficulty getting this one to unlock, and finally stubbornly tried this method. Worked like a charm.

I think the key is to make sure all 20 passes are to the same player - even though the achievement is worded like it would be 20 quarterback completions to any receiver, I think it needs to be 20 to the same receiver for it to pop.

My go through on this method, I looked through my play history, and found there was one play where the RB got subbed out and I didn't notice, so I counted back how many I had from that point to 20, did the 5-6 more that I needed to make sure it was 20 to one player, and it popped no problem.

Colts vs. Raiders, Manning to Addai on an HB screen. Can easily get over 20 completions in one drive if you start at the 5.

To get this acheivement go into a game on rookie difficulty with you being the Patriots and face the Texans. When you are in the game pick a screen pass play and throw the ball to the runningback twenty times in a row. You can run out of bounds to save time but make sure that you get a first down along the way. You dont get the acheivement until the game is over.

What about negative yardage and the QB being sacked? Does this break the streak?

For the love of christ I cannot get this one to pop. I made 32 passes complete in a row to Moss all first downs over a few drives and have probably qualified for this achievement in 4 different games. Any suggestions before i use the disc as a frisbee??

i fought and fought with this achievement...
it can be over multiple drives, multiple quarters
i did it over and over...
what finally made it pop was playing 1 min quarters( i kept trying on 5 min quarters)
so try 1 min quarters and do the same play the whole game ie TE Dual Flats

After a few hours of trying to get this with N.E. I finally switched to throwing two different HB Screens to L. T. with the Chargers. Popped on first try. Just make sure he is in front of the QB when catching the pass or it will be considered a run.

Patriots vs. Texans, Rookie difficulty. Play with offsides, fatigue and injuries off. Pick Dual TE Flat under quick passes and pass to either tight end. Pass to the same TE every time. You can change the Game AI, too. Set all of your sliders way up, and the CPU's way down. Also, create a new quarterback and tight end, just make sure you set their sliders all the way up and move them to first string using your Depth Chart. Good luck.

The achievement is simple and clearly explained, but some players may experience some problems caused by the last patch.
The technique to complete the achievement is as follows:
- start a new Play Now match, User vs Cpu, and select Colts for you and Texans for Cpu. Set 5 min. for time (this is not required but in this way you can also unlock the achievement "10 Catches in a Row") e Rookie for difficulty level.
- Pause the game and take to the max the % all of user option under the AI configuration. At the same time, set to 0 all the options of CPU and disable fatigue and injuries.
- when you are in offense, select the first play under the tab TE of the "by player" set. In this play you can see the the player marked with the A button that moving perpendicular to the field from right to left.
- hike the ball, wait a moment for the movement of the player A, and make the passage.
- when you catch tha ball, go offside and repeat at least 20 times (remember to make a 1st down before every 4th attempt) and supersim to the end of match.
The achievement will unlock after the end.

Some times, the method just described might not work, especially if you downloaded the patch. In this case, remove the game if installed, and start the maintenance of the HD by deleting the disk cache (it's on option of the memory section of the dashboard). Obviously, once you start again the game, refuse to download the patch and play it disconnected from Xbox LIVE. After that, repeat all the operation listed above.

Easiest way is to play as the San Diego Chargers and when it's your play chose to play by player and choose Gates your TE, then choose the first play, pressing A passes to him.The AI never seems to be round by him within the first 5 seconds of play, an achievement that was really bugging me made easy. Repeat 20 times and sim until the end.

I used two controllers for this achievement. I took control of the Patriots while the other controller had the Browns. With the Patriots on offense, I had the Browns set for a field goal block play under the Special Teams formation. Make sure you are not having them run a field goal 'safe man', as this will cause some cornerbacks to stay back and defend your wide receivers.
With the Patriots, I ran the first play available under the Shotgun formation. Really you could use any pass play from the Shotgun position, as you will be given plenty of time to quickly toss the ball to a wide receiver. With my chosen play, I would simply hike the ball and lob it over the Randy Moss (I believe he was the B button for that particular play). Once Moss had the ball, I would run back past the first down marker and out of bounds so that the clock would stop and I would have more field to work with.
Using this method (starting at the 2 yard line), I was able to make 21 consecutive throws (for safety) before hitting the endzone. I got it well before half-time, supersimmed the rest of the game and BOO-DOOP! Got the achievement!

Play patriots vs browns, with 2 controllers. Keep using Dual TE Flat with the account you want this achievement for and use FG block on every game for your second controller. Now be sure to pass right after hike to B because a second late and you`re sacked. I was able to do 10, when i accidentally picked dual TE flat for the field goal and missed the pass.

This was my last achievement for 08'.
Was pretty annoying after several tries.
I found that after running the same play,
(Short pass to TE and running out of bounds.)
Eventually he would drop the ball between 7-14 consecutive completions.
So every 5 or so completions I would runs HB dive play to throw the game off.
This worked my first try attempting this.
I used the NE Patriots. (Brady to Watson).
I heard there was an update that would cause a receiver to drop the ball if the same play being ran consecutively and successfully to prevent cheap wins.
Try this method, worked for me!

Like The Machine MRG said, this is easiest if you use the Steelers playbook, but keep in mind you can choose any team you want (such as an All Madden created team) and then select Steelers when it asks for coaching. Also, like others said, start at around the 10 yard line to give yourself enough room. Use the play TE Option and always throw to your halfback with the RB button. The way I finally got it was to FLIP the play every other play. That way, the AI doesn't catch on and you reduce the risk of your receiver running out of bounds before he catches the ball.
