How to unlock the Kick a FG for over 50 yards achievement in Madden NFL 09 - Definitive Guide
1) - Start a franchise and be the Titans
2) - When game starts, go into SETTINGS/GAMEPLAY/SPECIAL TEAMS
3) - Click MODIFY (on Special Teams)
4) - Set FG Power & Accuracy to 100
5) - Now, at any point you can, go out of bounds on exactly the 33 yard line
6) - You can choose to kick a field goal right away by choosing the plays "By Formation" / "Special Teams" / "Field Goal". You do not need to wait until 3rd down, just do it immediately. If you mess up, you can do it again by clicking on the X button when it shows the bubble icon "Rewind". If that doesn't show up (sometimes it wont, no matter what your setting is), you can just wait and get back to the 33 and try it again.
6) - Use the Titans kicker to kick the 50 yard field goal.
7) - There are a bunch of noob-iots that say this cheev is glitched. That is not true. The cheev will NOT pop when you kick the goal. It will ONLY pop when you finish the game. Therefore, it is NOT glitched. Once you've kicked the goal, just run the ball (no passes) for the rest of the game to run out the clock.
NOTE: For my Euro friends who don't know the game, when you run out-of-bounds, the clock will stop until the next play. Therefore, just 'run' the ball and stay in bounds, and the clock will keep ticking. Just remember to 'snap' the ball before your own 40-sec play clock runs out, and you can run out the game clock in no time at all.

1- Start a franchise with any team. If you just started playing and are going for multiple achievements, start a franchise with the Titans since you can get a couple more if you do.
2-Make sure the game difficulty is on rookie. To make it easier, you can also go on settings and modify the Kick power and accuracy to 100. You can also set the 'Rewinds" to unlimited to give you double the tries.
3-Get to the Jags 33 yard line and use ALL of your remaining downs as tries for field goals (in case you don't get it the first try) just go on Plays---By Formation---Special---Field Goal
The achievement will pop up at the end of the game or as soon as you quit the game.

Vid courtesy of Roosterteeth/Achievement Hunters. When your about to run out make sure you hit above the 33 yard line, not the 50 yard line since theres the extra 10 yards.
Go into gameplay options and set FG Power to 100, I didn't think about the extra 10 yards and scored a 63 yard FG with Elam like this.
do not try and kick the ball when you are on the 50 yard mark. The ball gets hiked back then the posts are about another 7 yards from the touchdown line. this means you will be trying to kick just over 60 yards. go from around 32-35 yards and you should get this.
Run out of bounds out the 33 yard line because you will then kick the ball at exactly the 50 yard line. Not all kickers can kick it. I used the raiders kicker because he has good power.(remember it has to be in franchise.)
Try using the kicker from the Raiders since he has a lot of strength and get the ball on the 33 yard line before you kick the field goal
You need to kick it from the 34 yard line because the game doesn't always register from the EXACT line from which the ball is kicked. 34 is the magic number, maybe it's just an update or something, but all I know is that 33 does not work. So crank up the accuracy and power of your kicks (from the game settings in the pause menu) and kick a field goal from the 34 yard line. You're going to need to set the height of the kick a little lower than the default, but if you max out the power you'll get it.
Once more you need to get this achievement inside a franchise match. A field goal is when a kicker kicks the ball between the goal posts to record three points for his team. To be able to hit a 50 yard field goal you need to be on the opposing team 33 yard line (or further). To make the kick easier for you try to center yourself on the previous play to be straight in the middle. Another trick would be to go in the settings and modify the "Kick Power" to 100 to get this achievement easily.
