How to unlock the Winning Isn't Everything achievement in Madden NFL 11 - Definitive Guide
Play an exhibition game with difficulty set to Rookie. Select the Texans (you) vs the Rams (cpu). When on offense, use the manual play selection menu and select a play for Andre Johnson on every down. I used the Cross Slant almost everytime and completed the pass almost every time. Make a simple juke move after the catch and you should be able to run the length of the field. You should qualify for the YACTastic cheevie in just a handful of downs. Then you can keep running the same play for the Winning isn't everything achievement. Because Rookie difficulty is so easy you may need to purposely run out of bounds to avoid getting a TD on every catch (and therefore not getting enough plays in to reach 21 catches).
Achievement(s) will pop up at end of the game. You must complete the game to get it. Using this method you should be able to get a couple achievements in one game; YACtastic, Winning isn't everything, and Deadly Accurate.
Use Rewind if you happen to drop a pass. You get one rewind per down.
As stated by a couple other solutions you can quit the game early when you think you have passed the stat marks and the achievement(s) should pop up. I haven't personally verified this, but several other people claim to have.
if you need any help or can't figure it out, feel free to message me on TA or xbox.
Every offensive possession you have, make sure you choose a pass play. I threw all my passes to the tight end Tony Gonzalez. He has probably the best hands in the game and will catch literally everything you throw at him (as long as it isn't 20 feet over his head). He will most likely get fatigued at some point and that's okay. Just call a couple run-plays until he comes back on the field.
Once he has logged 21 receptions, all you have to do is complete the game and the trophy will pop!
You can easily get this trophy while going for Deadly Accurate. To get this trophy, you have to throw at least 21 passes to the same player in a single match. Once the criteria have been filled, you will receive the trophy after you quit.
Use the same setup as outlined for Did I Break It? and YACtastic. Throw a short and reliable pass to give your receiver the best chance possible to make the catch. You could also set up the second team to run a Field Goal Block. This will leave acres of space for you to pass into. Once you find a reliable pass you can pull off every time, recycle it till you hit the 20 passes.
Important: This one has to be done using a single receiver. So recycle the same play every time to make sure you are finding the right man.
This trophy will unlock at the end of the game.
Trophies that can be done at the same time:
Deadly Accurate, YACtastic, Perfect Game, Defensive Dominance & Did I Break It?
Before starting the game, go to Options and turn off fatigue. Then, using two controllers, have the defense line up in a “Field Goal Block” every time. Have any receiver run a straight route or a screen pass and hike the ball. Toss the ball to the receiver and immediately have him run out of bounds. Do this 20 more times with the same receiver. It’s best to call a hurry-up offense so that the receiver is in the line up every time.
If you have only one controller, use the same method as “Deadly Accurate” but make sure you use only one player.
Achievement unlocks at the end of the game.
