How to unlock the Pocket Monster achievement in Madden NFL 10 - Definitive Guide

It's even simpler! If you're past your opponents 30, just call a shotgun play and run straight back towards your endzone. Run out of the back of the endzone and, voila, safety and the achievement pops.

I did this one, I was already winning 30-0 so in the last snap I called a hail mary to don't get blitzing defensive backs and just ran to my endzone. Really simple.

Make sure you stay between the hash marks as the camera starts to move to the side. Because pulling straight back once you get too far from the line causes the camera to move.

Yeah, you need to stay in the "tackle box"

It works fine, the key is to stay inside the tackle box. Don't scramble, just run STRAIGHT back.

This is ALOT simpler than the guy above me made it. Simply play a regular 'play now' game with two controllers (one on each team) and for the first play on offense(with the team your profile is assigned) call whatever passing play u want. Then for the defense select any play and simply select each defensive player blitzing the QB and hot route him into any type of zone u want so that there are NO PEOPLE BLITZING YOUR QUARTERBACK. Now simply snap the ball and sit there.........ta-da!

wow...doesn't get any easier than this. Perfect solution. I could have stood there for the entire quarter if I wanted to.

I tried the first solution up there but it didn't work very well. So I did something similar and thought wow this is pretty easy. What I did was scored a touchdown and then instead of going for the extra point go for 2. Since its a goal line play they are all well on the goal line. So make sure your in shotgun. Then hike the ball. Instead of holding RT just hold back on the left stick and make sure your inbetween the white haskmarks in the middle of the field. Once your at about the 40 yard line a line will be catching up. By then you should have a good 8 seconds so then just hold RT and get as far back as you can before you get tackled. Then you should get it.

Alternative approach:
Rather take the chance of getting tackled or not, get the ball down the field to the opponent's thirty yard line or so.

You might want to change your QB on the depth chart for one with higher speed, for example with the Patriots put in Hoyer for Brady which lessens the chance of being caught.

Then call a shotgun play and rather than running out of the endzone and giving up a safety, run to about your own 2 yard line then out of bounds at the sideline and the achievement should pop. I tried the endzone option with no luck but was able to do it this way.

To get this achievement I simply played on the All-Pro difficulty as the Patriots against the Chiefs, using the two controller method. Any two teams will suffice though.

Turn off the play clock, and when you have the ball (as the Patriots) call any passing play that isn't a Play-Action pass. If you wish you can keep your back(s) in as extra blockers.

Call a play for the Chiefs that involves 3 Deep or Cover 4. The Prevent defense will only rush three Lineman. You can manually change these Lineman to go back into any zone defense if you wish.

Snap the ball, and stand still for 10 seconds. The achievement didn't pop for me until I actually threw the ball, as I had been waiting for it to pop for at least 20 seconds. So run out of bounds, throw it away, whatever - just finish the play, and it should pop then.

Good luck! This should be an easy 80G.

When you have a drive deep into the opponents territory, call a passing play and run straight backwards making sure to stay within the tackles (the hashmarks are a good indicator). Keep running backwards until this unlocks. If no defenders are near you, run outside of the tackles and push to throw it away.

The pocket is the space a Quarterback drops into when he snaps the ball (starts the play).
Meaning if you press , your QB snaps the ball and drops back into the pocket, where he is being protected by his offensive line to give him enough time to make his reads and throw the ball.

Once again, we will do this with 2 Controllers. Controller 1 will be controlling the offense, Controller 2 the defense. Let Controller 1 select the play "By Play Type" > "Pass" > "Standard Pass" > "Curl Flats", and Controller 2 select any defensive play. Now let Controller 2 assign all of his defensive players to drop back into zone coverage, done so by circling through players pressing and assigning each player by pressing and UP on the .

Let Controller 1 snap the ball pressing and the defense should drop back into zone coverage.
Wait 10 seconds and throw the ball to one of your receivers, then run out of bounds to unlock this Achievement.
