Madden NFL 08

When you start up make sure you have it set for 5 minutes, as you can't get the achievement any other way. Also, set the difficulty to ROOKIE.

It doesn't really matter what team you pick, but it does help if you pick a team that has a good returner. Try picking a team that's overall rating is 90 or above. Such as: Chargers, Bears, Patriots, Colts, etc.

If you win the coin toss, pick receive. Obviously run the ball as far up the field as you can. When you pick your first play, pick a field goal. You'll miss it, and then the possession will go to the other team.

When they get ready to hike the ball, run offsides into one of their players. Keep doing this until they get to the 5 yard line or so and let them score. Reason being...at least from the 5 yard line they have a very good chance to kick a field goal if they can't score a touchdown.

So, when they score, you'll be ready to recieve your next kickoff.

Rinse and repeat.


Also note...that the clock doesn't start when you keep going offsides after you kick the field goal....so you should have plenty of time to get this. I think I had it at the beginning of the second quarter.

Another thing that may help if you're still having trouble is to go into game settings and set the CPU A.I. stats all the way down to zero.

Using two pads:

When player two has the ball, run it behind players 2's endzone and you will give up a safety, the resulting kick is a Free Kick and when player 1 catches, the return will count as Kick Return Yards. Do this until 1 player has 200Yds Kick Return.

TIPS:
As player one, just punt the ball back to player 2 so they can run the ball back over the endzone. As player 2, If on a punt you catch the ball in the endzone, you must run out of the endzone first and back for it to count as a safety and get a Free Kick. If you end up playing the ball use an outside pass and just run back for the safety.

You can try and run for a Kick Return TD, by running in zigzags and gathering up the charging players, run back to your endzone on just one side, then sprint across the field and back up, you'll only have a few players to avoid then. It takes some skill and practice but makes for huge returns and an easy punt back.

Set the time to 1 or 2 mins a Qtr as the clock won't move much inbetween giving a safety and running the ball back. I set the game to 3min Qtr's and did 200 yds for 2 different players in the 1st Qtr.

Play on rookie with a team with a good return man (like Devon Hester for the Bears). Return a kick. If don't return it all the way for a TD, attempt and miss a field goal, then let the opponent score so that you'll get to return another kickoff. Lather, rinse, and repeat until you get to 200 yards.

An easy way to get this is to use 2 controllers. Make sure quarters are set to 5 minutes and begin the game normally. Pick a team with a good return man for your profile and a bad team for the second controller (I used the Bears against the Browns).

It doesn’t matter which controller takes possession first. Whenever the second controller has possession, run the QB out the back of the end zone for a safety. After the safety, the Browns will be given a free kick. After the run back from the kick, score as quickly as possible with the Bears, then rinse and repeat until one of your kick returners has 200 yards.

The achievement will pop when you finish the game.

Basically the same thing Knight said...

I just wanted to add a different method that isn't quite as "real world" time consuming.

1. Beginning of game kick off.
1a. If you have possession: Spike the ball 3 times.
1a.a. Run Pitch Play: HB Power to the right. Run the ball BACKWARDS to the 1yd. line and out of bounds.
1b. If you do NOT have possession: Sack QB until they punt.
1b.b. See 1a.

2. Let them score.
3. Run back the kick off.
4. Punt.
5. See 1b.

Another method, if you have two controllers, is basically this same thing except every time the opposing team gets the ball, just punt it straight back to you and run it backwards and out of bounds at the 1. Then, spike the ball 4 times. Possession will turn over and you won't have lost but 3-5 seconds on the clock. (Spiking the ball stops the clock as well.)

Also, when the CPU is trying to score, try to keep running FG Block or Punt Block. It will leave the WRs wide open, and pretty big outside running lanes for them.

Hint: Don't forget that you can even edit the stock players on teams.
