How to unlock the Pick Up 6 achievement in Madden NFL 11 - Definitive Guide

(Credit goes to ThrustPumpkin over at xbox360achievements.org - http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25...)

1st - use two controllers.
2nd - whichever controller is assigned to your profile (1st one most likely) kickoff, with the 2nd controller take the return man and run him out of bounds at the 1 or 2 yd line.
3rd - select field goal for controller 2 and field goal block for controller 1, also turn offsides off. take one of the defensive guys and stand him in front of the holder and kicker. start the kick meter and take control of your defender to make sure he BLOCKS the field goal attempt DO NOT TACKLE THE HOLDER if done correctly you should block the attempt and there should be a pile up for the ball in the endzone. if you win you should get the achievement.

This, above any other guide, helped me unlock it... thanks again... easier to create a managable fumble with a FG rather than a punt I found.

I blocked the punt and picked up the ball for the touchdown but no achievement. Anything I'm doing wrong? There was no pile up, my guy just picked it up for the TD. I guess you have to really fight for it huh?

Carbon I've never seen it done with a punt. I found it easier with a FG and the key is that when the FG is blocked the holder and the blocker go after the ball and the fumble minigame is triggered.

Worked great for me even though it took quite a few tries. I kept just picking the ball up and getting a touchdown instead of the pile up.
If you don't get it the first try and don't want to restart the whole game: use your rewind, and then bump into an offensive player giving you a penalty (which you decline), but this gives you another try which you can rewind again.

Outstanding; this worked perfectly with unedited rosters, Steelers playing Chiefs. I had tried other methods (shotgun pass, strip the ball, etc) but this one worked within five minutes. thank you!

You should mention, if done correctly (use unlimited rewinds & do encroachment (after each attempt) + decline penalty), NO TIME RUNS off the clock!!!

Nice guide one tip though is to use your defensive lineman because those guys are 6'7 so the taller the better for a block.

Just an FYI: this can be obtained with the Fight for the Fumble mini-game turned off in the Settings. I think you do have to have the pile-up animation. I got it by luck while going for other achievements.

I've blocked it and went to mash the buttons to win the ball for the TD but the EA Sports bar at the bottom blocks what button I need to be mashing....fan-freaking-tastic.

This does not work. I have tried over 100 times and it NEVER goes into fumble mode. Not even fucking once. FUCK this lame ass achievement. This is probably the most difficult achievement I have ever went for.

Thanks for the above comment. Moving your guy slightly from left to right will prevent him from auto-tackling and you MUST press Y, otherwise you won’t block the FG. I also kept my guy slightly to the left, rather than directly in front, and as close as I could get.

You're right about the EA Sports bar blocking what buttons to hit... I just mashed each one of the four buttons until I saw it move and kept mashing that one until it changed. Beyond that I found it best to wiggle the main controller a little bit so he wouldn't go tackle the guy and it was best to aim low and hit hard so that way the ball deflected right off the guy when I hit Y to block it.

Okay, what I did for this is take any good team and play against your second controller, who I made the Bills. Second make sure that offsides penalty slider is at zero and you have unlimited rewinds active (usually you select this option at the game start screen where you set the game quarter length and weather options). I kicked the ball to them and with the second controller I ran the ball out to the 4 yard line and got tackled there by my team. I selected field goal for the Bills and field goal block for my team. What I did was to stand behind the center with my defender and rushed the holder once the ball was snapped. Now, don't tackle the holder but jump right in front of him. about 30 percent, or so, of the time I would block the kicked. The holder jumped on the ball really quick most of the time and it would net me a safety, which is not what I want. Well you only get one rewind per play, however, I found a way around this limit. When I missed the block or got a safety I rewound the play and then I ran into an offensive player. This would create a penalty. I would decline the penalty (as the Bills) and re-kick the field goal. If I didn't get the fight for the fumble cut screen then I would rewind and touch an offensive player in order to commit the penalty. Simple decline the penalty and re-try. Now this achievement took me about an hour to do because I kept running the ball too far out and when I would get the fight for the fumble screen I would be on the one or two yard line. When you kick from the 7 or 8 yards deep in the endzone if you get the fight for the fumble mini-game then it will always be in the endzone. So to recap, Make sure you playing with two controllers and are kicking, with your second controller, from deep in the endzone. Offsides turned off and rewinds to unlimited. The *MAJOR KEY* to this is if you mess it up or get the safety, make sure you rewind, commit the penalty, decline it, and retry. This way made it a great deal easier then having to rewind, mess it up again, get the safety punt, rekick it back to your second controller and set the field goal attempt up again. If you need any further explanation hit me up and I will give you a run down. Hope this helps.

Can anyone on TA please just spell out what buttons to hit instead of using big hit stick and strafe. I need to know what the fuck I'm doing wrong here. I keep getting safeties and never trigger the fight for fumble. Come on people if you are going to write a guide, at least spell out what buttons to push. Don't assume people can read your fucking minds. Negative!

At no time did I mention the "Hit Stick". I said to jump. this is accomplished by using the "Y" button (clearly indicated in the controls section of your menu). The "Hit" stick is done by simply pushing up on the right stick of the controller right before you hit another player. I hope this helps.

First off edit the lions so that there QB and HB stats are real low make sure carrying is as low as possible use to controllers be the colts and vs. the lions outdoor stadium with heavy snow and 5 min quarters also make sure you have unlimited rewinds kick to the lions to start the game and resume setting an the guy out at about the 3 then edit the sliders in penalties turn off sides to 0 in cpu skills put fumbles to 0 in player skills for you controller make it rookie then player controls for 2nd controller should be all-madden now all your in game settings are good after that now to pick the play offence should be in gun spread flex WR then A for the draw and you can pick any play for defense now you want to be Mothis or Freeney and get on the other side of the line put the guy you his back is only a couple steps away from the center then snap it with the 2nd controller and go to hit the HB with your guy try and time it so you get to him just as he is getting the hand off make sure your holding down LB to strip the ball it will probably take a couple try’s so if you don’t get it rewind then get you guy on defense called for encroachment then decline the penalty with your 2nd controller the reason for this is so that you only get 1 rewind on each play but if you do the penalty it will reset it and you will get another rewind for that play then keep running the same thing I got it real quick like this.

All credit goes to Xerostomia for the method. He has allowed me to use his guide on TA for this site since it works perfectly! *Note that I changed only the teams and fixed a few grammatical errors.*

What I did was a mixture of what has been described.

1. Adjust the CPU sliders all the way to zero, and adjust your sliders to max.

2. Start a game with any two teams, it does not matter. I played Giants against Chargers. Have maximum rewinds.

3. Use 2 controllers. The 'guest' controller should receive the ball regardless of who wins the coin toss.

4. Receive ball, and run to between 2-4 yard line. Closer to goal line the better. Go to menu and turn off off-sides. Also give control of guest controller back to CPU.

5. Pick anyone, usually linebacker is good, and stand behind QB. Usually it is a run play. QB snaps the ball, and you will tackle him. Having LB (Left Bumper) pressed increases the chance of stripping ball. If a fumble is in the end zone, win the mini game by pressing the button prompts. If you get a safety, press rewind. If fumble is not in the end zone, let them win and try again. You should have 8 chances including rewinds including 4th down. The punter will be in the end zone so you can try it that way as well. Playing on Rookie difficulty improves your chances dramatically.

The trophy pops immediately so you do not have to play the whole game.

To get this easily, face your edited team. The Quarterback like all the other players should have his stats slammed to 12 across the board. If you use two controllers, you will be able to back the opposition up against their End-Zone. All you have to do is get one of their players to run back with the ball to their own 1 yard line and then carry the ball out of play. This means the next down will leave both teams in a prime position to go for this trophy.


Once in position, you should set up the same way as you did for Nano and Sack Master. You should place your man right beside the Quarterback behind his Offensive line. When the play starts, quickly tackle him and try to strip the ball away. I found that he would tend to fumble about one time in three. That does not guarantee a Fight for the Fumble though. But keep at it, and you will get a fumble AND a fight sooner or later. Once it comes up, you will easily win as the second controller will be idle.

Important: Remember to hold to try to strip the ball in the tackle.

-----

Alternative Method: Again using two controllers, you will be able to back the opposition up against their End-Zone. You have to get one of their players to run back with the ball to their own 1 yard line and then carry the ball out of play. This means the next down will leave both teams in a prime position to go for this trophy.

Get them to run a Field Goal attempt, and you want your team to run a Field Goal Block. Exploit the lack of an Offside penalty and place a player directly in front of the kicker, just beyond the holder. You do not want to actually tackle anyone, your goal is to block the kick. Mange to do that, and a Fight for the Fumble should follow. Once it comes up, you will easily win as the second controller will be idle.

----------

While the first method will get you more fumbles, the second one will give you a Fight for the Fumble more often once you do force a fumble. Either can work, but you will need a little luck. Try both a few times if necessary.

Crucial Detail: Make sure Fight for the Fumble is turned on in the game settings.

The trophy will unlock at the end of the game.
Trophies that can be done at the same time:
Nano, Sack Master, Butterfingers, No Offense & Old Spice Swagger Pick 6.

This strategy is by using two controllers.

The best way to do this is using two controllers with offsides off and infinite rewinds, but will work very similar using one controller (you just have to get the opposing team near their endzone). Pick a good team for the first controller and a bad team for the second. Set the game up so that the second controller is receiving the kick off. Catch the ball and run out at the 3 or 4 yard line.

Set up a Shotgun play with the second controller which has the QB lined up in the endzone with two running backs. You can also edit the opposing QB’s Carry rating to the lowest possible. You can either use the “Butterfingers” method (editing the Settings so fumbles are easier), try and Big Hit the QB causing him to fumble, or press to strip the ball.

As soon as two opposing players try to recover the fumble, a fumble mini-game will trigger. The idea of this mini-game is to tap the buttons shown and get it into your half of the bar. To make it easier, have the first controller press the right buttons while the second controller presses the wrong ones (or none at all) and you’ll win the fumble.

Achievement unlocks at the end of the play.

Method by ThrustPumpkin:
1st - use two controllers.
2nd - whichever controller is assigned to your profile (1st one most likely) kickoff, with the 2nd controller take the return man and run him out of bounds at the 1 or 2 yd line.
3rd - select field goal for controller 2 and field goal block for controller 1, also turn offsides off. Take one of the defensive guys and stand him in front of the holder and kicker. start the kick meter and take control of your defender to make sure he BLOCKS the field goal attempt DO NOT TACKLE THE HOLDER if done correctly you should block the attempt and there should be a pile up for the ball in the endzone. if you win you should get the achievement.
