How to unlock the Defensive Dominance achievement in Madden NFL 11 - Definitive Guide
1. Put the game on 5 minute quarters and set the difficulty to rookie to guarantee this.
2. Use any team, get the ball and score(not sure this is necessary even)
3. Get the ball again (while not allowing more than 100 yards by the opposing team) and turn off the play-clock in the game settings
4. Perform a running play once to get the clock going and then call any play but do not hike the ball
5. Change the channel, do something else... come back a few minutes later
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters. Edit: You'll also need to do this before halftime and the end of the game after both 2 minute warnings.
Achievement obviously pops after the game is completed.
Start up a quick play game with 5 minute quarters. Make sure the difficulty is set to Rookie. You can use any team you wish and I would advise to play the Cleveland Browns, as they are terrible on offense.
When you are on offense, try to consume as much of the clock as you can by calling run plays. If you break out into the open, run enough for a first down then dive to the ground. Don't hike the ball for the next play until you are down to 1 second on the play clock.
If/when you score, make sure to kick the ball deep into the other teams' territory. While on defense, I would send all-out blitzes on every play. This usually completely halts their run game and if they attempt to pass, you will usually force a bad throw because you will be in the quarterbacks face.
Play the entire game and if you hold the opposing team to under 100 yards of offense, the trophy will be yours. Note that the trophy will not pop until after the game is completed!
You should not really have to try to get this one. If you follow the method outlined above for getting Did I Break It?, you should also receive this trophy. Just make sure to punt the ball back on first down every time the second team gets possession after you score with the first team. This trophy will unlock at the end of the game.
Trophies that can be done at the same time:
Deadly Accurate, Winning Isn’t Everything, YACtastic, Perfect Game & Did I Break It?
Set the game to 5 minute quarters (and Rookie if you are having difficulty). Turn offsides off. When the opponent has the ball, simply sack him every time and they’ll be forced to punt. Also, when you kick off (after you score), do an onside kick so they get no return yards. Or if using the two controller method, when the second controller has the ball, simply punt it back to you. You can also turn the play clock off and do a QB Kneel to run the clock down. If the CPU calls a time out, simply get a 1st Down and use QB Kneel again until the opponent runs out of timeouts for the half (each team gets 3 timeouts).
Achievement unlocks at the end of the game.
