Everyone keeps wanting to adjust rosters, that takes FOREVER.

Start a Quick/Exhibition Game with 2 controllers on Pro. Pick any 2 teams you would like. Have controller 2 kickoff, then start hitting B and X rapidly, making the opposing team dive onto the ground. Let your kick returner catch the ball and the computer will automatically start returning the ball. With everyone on the ground, the computer shouldn't have any trouble getting the TD.

Note: If you don't score, kick a field goal and miss, turning the ball over. Then have Controller 2 throw a Hail Mary while Controller 1 chooses FG Block. Then rinse and repeat.

Thanks for the positive feedback. If you need any more help just hit me up on XBL.

This is pretty much how I've managed to get many Madden achievements (long TD runs, etc.) over the past 5 iterations of the game.

Positive vote.

Thanks for the vote. Hopefully more people will find this solution helpful.

A very good tip! I figured out this one myself, when I was trying to get the punt return achievement. Haven't tested it on the Leon Washington Award, but I bet it works as well. To make it even easier, try to kick near the sideline.

easiest solution ever

By Tandar1 on 18 Sep 2011 14:30

also, you might want to add that it unlocks at the end of the game rather than right away!

By Tandar1 on 18 Sep 2011 14:30

Please explain the negative? Don't really see how that should come into play. I made this achievement effortless. Kick the ball off and let the computer run it back. Whatever.

I can't figure out why I can't get it. No matter how fast or slow I spam XBXBXBXBXBXB, the other team ends up getting me. It's frustrating because it should work. (No vote either way.)

To Sashamorning: it took me some time, but eventually I got it with the Bears against a created team. I drafted the worst team possible. Then I chose kick centre and return centre. I kicked to near the left sideline (from the Chicago point of view) and then started tapping X+B while holding the stick to right. I tapped quite slowly and got it 4 times in a row.

I will try this and see if it works. Even if you just hit the B button and made all the guys run away, this should work.

does a kick after a safety count?

By Paul Wesley 91 on 23 Jul 2012 03:15

No, that wouldn't count. That's technically still considered a "punt."

By MisterSledge on 12 Sep 2012 01:28

SmorgasBorgnine, I had the same problem, and your solution worked perfectly, thank you!!

By Mikeyoligy on 08 Oct 2012 16:32

@SmorgasBorgine thanks for that additional strategy. I had been using this strategy to try and get it but couldn't keep the players away from my returner. I tried your strategy and had it within a few tries, plus I also got the one for the punt return doing that too, thanks!

What morons down voted this. This is hilarious. One hand bashing x+b on controller 2 whilst the other hand controlling stick on controller 1. You cannot fail, why mess with rosters this solution is all you need. Nice one mate

By ukinspro on 12 Nov 2013 19:30

Honestly, its unfair you got negative feedback. i didnt need your solution, i came here looking to see if i could quit the game once i ran 2 back or if i had to finish it.
But i am giving you a positive vote, because its unfair that some people gave you a negative vote. It works on the first try, everytime!

madden team you get by searching for a random team and 2 controls, with your buddy diving outta the way worked perfect. select 1 min quarters and finish the game, simplest 5 minutes ever

By Brknhero on 05 Jul 2016 23:28

Returned 2 kicks and no achievement…

By RiIey on 24 Aug 2021 03:31

I used your setup, but I had a hard time with making them dive as they kept diving into my returner, so I paused the game while the ball was in the air and rubber-banded the analog stick on my 2nd controller to the right and manually controlled the returner toward the left sideline (I picked kickoff middle and return middle for the plays). All I had to do was tap the B button slowly and everybody moved out of my way.

I got pretty much all the single player achievements by selecting exhibition and then instead of picking a team, I kept in selecting random until the madden developers team appeared - every player is rated 99 - no need to mess around with sliders or player stats.

If you are playing against your horrible created team with your maxed out Eagles team and game settings in your favor, then this is quite easy.

Since you are faster than the other team you should no problems out running the other team or stiff arming them with

It is easiest with two controllers. Have your opponent kick the ball deep with max power to either sideline. Run the ball up the slideline and have your opponent press to either hit to dive or use the to move the defender away from you. Just do it one more time with the same player and the trophy is yours.

Return two kickoffs for TD's in one game. Can easily be done with edited Rosters, Adjusted Sliders and on Rookie Difficulty.

You could attempt this with two controllers, however an easier way is to simply edit your team as well as the CPU Team, adjust the sliders and play on Rookie Difficulty..

First, edit your players Speed to 99, then edit the speed of each player on the CPU defense to the lowest possible. That way you can simply out run them to the end zone.
