The tips for this achievement start at 2:38 into the video. The only thing I would add is to have the controller on defense pick the play: "By Formation" -> "Quarter" -> Combo -> "Prevent", and have the controller on offense pick the play: "By Play Type"- > "Run" -> "Inside Handoff" -> "HB Dive".
And after the snap let the computer control the HB (ie don't do anything yourself). This will take multiple tries, but you should get it eventually.
In the settings, make CPU skill Break Tackle set to 100, Run Block set to 0.
Made the 400lb guy, put him on the colts (or any team). Stats all at 99.
Started a Play Now game with 2 controllers, letting the second controller be the team I put the 400lb guy on.
First controller (the one on your profile) I picked the Steelers.
After the punt I went into depth charts and made sure that the 400lb guy was the 1st string for HB.
I picked the HB Dive play for Offense, and picked the Prevent play for defense.
Before the hike, I pressed Y on the first controller and then UP on the LEFT stick. Then I held in RIGHT trigger and pressed Y to spotlight the 400lb guy.
I then pressed A on the second controller to hike the ball, DON'T CONTROL THE HB! Let the computer control him, and he ran passed the linemen and straight into a ton of guys.
I watched the instant replay AFTER I got the achievement, there were 3 Colts guys pushing me forward and 4 Steelers pushing me back!
Also I put the fatty on the lions and used the steelers on defense
AoX x iTz dReVV said like making the 400Lbs guy but don't you have to put all his stats at 99 just stuff like speed and trucking and other stuff and picking the prevent play and putting the spotlight on the HB by pressing (LT+Y Or Sometimes LT+LB) but after you pick the teams you go to to your opponents coaching (Were you can change the uniforms and stuff) and put their offensive coaching on Run Heavy so that way they run most of the time and do a lot of inside runs but the weird thing is that I had a 5 man gang tackle? and still got it but follow the instructions and it will take a few tries. ( I got it in the 2nd quarter) Write me for any achievements you need! Good Luck!
P.S I do have this achievement!
This is the most frustrating trophy of the set. It's almost totally based on luck. You'll want to play against a team that has a big, power running back. The Giants are your best bet. By the way, use two controllers. Have the offense (player two) call running plays. With your defense (player one), set your defense to Dime and Prevent and play as the Steelers. This will load your defense with smaller defensive backs that can be dragged by the stronger RB. With a bit of luck, after a few tries, you'll trigger a large gang tackle.
Alternatively, if using Brandon Jacobs isn't working for you, then create a new RB that is 6'5" and 400 lbs. That should be plenty to drag some small DB's along for a gang tackle.
Once more, the best way to do this is using 2 controllers. Create a 400lb Running Back, put him on any team and max his stats to 99. Start a Play Now game and let Controller 2 be the team you put the 400lb RB on and let Controller 1 play as the Pittsburgh Steelers. Make sure that the 400lb Running Back is the main back to run your plays.
Now make sure Controller 1 (Steelers) is playing as the defense while Controller 2 is playing as the offense. Let Controller 1 pick the defense "By Formation" > "Quarter" > "Prevent" and Controller 2 pick "By Play Type" > "Run" > "Inside Handoff" > "HB Dive".
Before you snap the ball, let Controller 1 press and UP on the to put your defense into back-off coverage. Afterwards, press and hold and press the button above the Running Back to spotlight him. Then let Controller 2 press to snap the ball and don't press any buttons to let the CPU control the Running Back.
Now your defenders in back-off coverage will run towards the RB and tackle him, hopefully triggering a 7-man gang tackle. This has proven to be the fastest and most prolific way of obtaining this Achievement.
Nevertheless, there is no guarantee that this strategy will work on your first try.
Since a 7-man gang tackle, or gang tackles in general, are mostly random, there is no way to manipulate the game to increase the frequency of these gang-tackles to occur; so please be aware that this Achievement could take hours, maybe even days to unlock.
NOTE: Make sure to check that the difficulty and quarters are set to fit the requirements.
