How to unlock the Winning achievement in Madden NFL 12 - Definitive Guide

Simply start a franchise and pick any team. Make sure you turn off the salary cap. After simming through the entire season advance to the off-season option. After simming through the retired players, resigning players, and the NFL combine sections of the off-season, the free agent bidding will start. Simply bid on the top 6 teams by pressing A. Keep pressing A when another team outbids you. Wait 60-70 seconds for the countdown to finish and you will unlock the achievement. Takes roughly 8 minutes from start to finish. Enjoy!

This worked for me
-clear cashe
-start new season with salary cap OFF
-simulate all the way up to free agent bidding
-save your game
-back out to menu, then load up your game
-bid on only the first three players, then the achievement will pop after you got all three

Another route you can take, once free agency comes around, is to get lower ranked players. Hank Hynoski is a low ranked FB, and I was able to get him without any other teams bidding for him. Go for a low ranked player, wait for the time to expire, and the achievement should pop up.

This is definitely the solution with the least hassle and maintenance. Thanks! I didn't even look at who I was bidding on. I simply sorted the list and went for the player at the bottom.

DO EVERYTHING THAT XUANDREW HAS DESCRIBED IN HIS SOLUTION, BUT IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS ONE LIKE I WAS, TRY ADDING THIS INTO THE EQUATION:

i tried simulating one game at a time instead of the whole season until i got to Free Agent Bids (not sure if that part really made the difference). when the bidding started, i tried bidding on players that WEREN'T previously on my team because when you simulate all that front office stuff, you end up re-signing and releasing players automatically. having said that, when you start Free Agent Bidding, if you know anything about the NFL or your TEAM, you will most likely notice some of YOUR TEAMS PLAYERS are now Free Agents. every time i tried this i was bidding on my own players because they were top ranked and always at the top of the list.(plus i wanted them back :) the achievement would never pop. on my final try after i decided to bid on only players lower on the list that were not on my team before release, achievement popped.

basically DO NOT BID on players that were just on your team. see if that works for ya and let me know how it goes.

*Unlocks after requirements are met.*

Use the same settings as listed in Hey, Can I Talk to You? You do not need to play the preseason/regular season, so select to sim the entire season, postseason and probowl.

In the offseason of your franchise, one of your tasks as GM is to bring in new players via Free Agency. Unlike other years, this year there is a timer attached to each player after the first bid is made to the player. Continue to press to increase your offer to the player as other teams will join in on the bidding. When the timer runs out, and if you made the last bid, then you have won the bidding war for that player and unlocked Winning.

From the Main Menu, select Game Modes > Franchise Mode > New Franchise. Select any Team and advance to the Franchise Year 1 screen. Press and simulate the Pre-Season. Once the Pre-Season is simulated, advance to the Regular Season. Press and simulate the Regular Season. Once the Regular Season is over, simulate the Post Season, Pro Bowl and Super Bowl and advance to Front Office Mode Off-Season. Press to skip past the Front Office Mode, Player Retirements, Re-Sign Players and Combine Scouting. Press to advance to Free Agency. Once in Free Agency, select Start the Bidding, highlight any player and press to bid. Once the clock next to the player runs out and if you are the high bidder, the Achievement unlocks.
