Madden NFL 08

This was the last and most difficult achievement for me to get in Madden NFL 08. I kept doing the SuperSim trick without any luck, I must have tried 10 times. I tried setting the game on different difficulties, teams, weather. I had already boosted the stats on my team of choice to 99 and lowered the "carrying" stat of the Texans running backs and recievers down to 0 hoping this would help to create fumbles. I finally got it after I set the game to the worse weather I could think of in my home town of Washington, DC (Go Redskins!!) Set the weather cold and rainy, 40 degrees F, overcast with heavy precipitation, and moderate wind. Also, set the quarters to 15 min and All-Madden! Good luck, cause it's the roll of the dice!

While Deviants Strategy does work I couldn't ever get the CPU to sim this in about 8 games. What I did is I started with 2 controllers and but the kicker in at QB ran a pass play and field goal block. After about 34 plays of sacking the K he had fumbled 4 times and merriman picked up his second fumble recovery. Good luck with his.

I found it easiest to lower the catching, carrying, and awareness of all of the hb's on controller2's team. I chose the raiders. Then using a play that you throw to the hb behind the line he will often drop it and with it not being a forward pass it will result in a fumble. Then just keep doin it til 1 guy gets 2.

well for any one who hasn't done this yet this is how i got this achievement in my first try no clue if it is the best way or not.

i turned all the cpu attributes all to zero, turned offsides off, set up the game at the redskins stadium as the bears vs. texans, at night 8 o'clock or so set the temp to 20 degrees F, overcast, heavy precipitation, and made it very windy, set the skill to rookie and set the qtr length to 15 mins, at the beginning kick off i started the sim to the end and it happened to pop, hope this can help who ever might still need this.

I know this is a long time after the game came out but I couldn't manage to get this achievement using any of the existing guides so thought I'd put up a guide to help the 1 person that might play this game later than me!

I got it by starting a game with 2 controllers. My main account was the Bears and my 2nd controller was the Texans. Before the first play turn off injuries and fatigue and increase all defensive sliders. Also turn off the play clock, and turn the slider for offsides down to zero. You can also turn QB and RB sliders down to zero.

If the Bears are in possession you should punt or miss a field goal to get the ball with the Texans. Once the Texans have the ball they need to choose any passing play. Choose a blitz for the Bears.

Before the snap move your defender around to stand next to the Texans' QB. Snap the ball with the 2nd controller, then pick up your main controller and tackle the QB as he just stands there. As you're tackling him you need to be pressing which will mean you attempt to strip the ball. The strip won't be successful every time (about 1 in 7 for me) but it was much more reliable than a "normal" tackle in causing a fumble.

If you successfully strip you should then try to recover it yourself, or, more likely (as you'll probably be on the floor) hope one of the other members of your team picks up the ball.

Rinse and repeat until one of your players has 2 fumble recoveries. You can check this by going into Game stats, choosing Bears on the left trigger and Defense on the right trigger. If you scroll right you'll reach a column for fumble recoveries.

Once you have 2 with the same player you can supersim to the end of the game, at which point the achievement will pop.

If you are still having trouble, you can get this easily with two controllers. Create an all madden team and a powerpuff team. Turn offsides off. When the bad team has possession, run the play double china (quick pass). Before you hike the ball, bring a defender next to the Y receiver. Then, hike the ball and immediately throw it to Y which should cause a fumble. Proceed to recover it with your defender and repeat the process
