How to unlock the Battle Tested achievement in Madden NFL 13 - Definitive Guide
NOTE: if you are renting or gamefly'n you can get all online pass required achieves if you boost within the 2 day trial period. Just make sure to get the other pass required achievements.... Such as madden moments & join a league before the trial goes boom!
Also note that this must be earned in ranked matches... Nothing else counts.
Prefer your buddy
Go to online
Highlight quickmatch and go to options by pressing x
Now select DNF under 90
Select the rating at my rating only.... If both players never played a game yet
And turn gameflow to off.... Most people play with gameflow on, so this helps you match
Now with both of you using the same search settings you both need to search at the same time..... We matched in 2 attempts!
Now onside kick... Player who gets the ball will select quick slant
Person defending will select block field goal.... At the snap press x quick! WR will catch the ball ... Let him run up and in for the td
Select 2 pt conversion using same quick slant play.
Defender use same field goal block
Once at 250 or 254 MAX finish by running out the clock... Just don't score. Achievements will pop when you get back to main screen.
I CAN NOT confirm if one player quits out it will count for either player.
We just finished from 0 points to 602 in 5 hours and 2 minutes with 2 15 minute breaks included.
Good luck guys.... It's really not too bad.
Also.... We matched up first time searching twice, and one search took two attempts.... All with 7000 other users searching at the same time :-)
EDIT: If you quit AFTER THE FIRST HALF OF THE GAME (IN THE 3RD QUARTER) ALL POINTS WILL COUNT!
Furious, I checked the leaderboards to see how many "lifetime" points I had scored, and it read 399, strangely enough. So it seems that it counted my original 201, and then it counted 198 of my last 204 (I guess it didn't count the last touchdown I scored, with missed extra point). My only guess is that if you lag out, the servers save how many points you have scored until right before you get booted...but I honestly have no idea.
But anyways, this was to try and make some people worrying about this a little at ease. The game WILL save the points you have scored to a point, even in the case of disconnect. Thank. God.
Scoring 600 points can be difficult because of quitters, lag, and skill of other users online. These are cumulative trophies, and only points you score in a Head-to-Head Online Ranked matches count. After the game is over and you taken back to the Online home screen, and if you earned enough points for a trophy it will unlock after a few seconds.
To get an idea of how many points you have scored, go to Online Leaderboards and scroll till you see your PF (Average Points For). Take your PF and multiply it by the number of games you have played.
You can also, thanks to Kaozz79, go to https://www.easports.com/. Sign in and click on your profile to check your Madden 13 stats. It will show all of your online stats and will have "Points for" which shows exactly how many you have along with all previous game scores.
These trophies can be boosted by using the boosting thread HERE, but it is VERY difficult to get matched up with your boosting partner. Each game has a max of 255 points. After both of you reach 255 points, then have one user get three delay of game penalties in a row to end the game. Like with all boosting, you need to set up a chat room with each other and try your best to synch up. Below are two tips on how to boost, but BEWARE it is still very difficult and almost impossible at times to boost.
Special thanks to CrazyTrainZ28 who figured out that Madden Rep is KEY to having a better shot at finding your boosting partner. You and your boosting partner need to be within 15% of each other's Madden Rep. Skill points can vary but if Madden Rep is within 15%, then still able to meet up. To change your search setting, use before clicking "Play Now."
Another boosting tip thanks to OlympiakosNYC and djhmetfan2, is both boosting partners have the same amount of Skill points. After playing a game together, the Winner needs to lose two straight games by getting three delay of games in a row after the kickoff on offense. Then both boosting partners can synch up again.
This one will take around 5 hours if you boost these with someone, but if you want to play online, then you will eventually earn this achievement along with the rest.
To boost: Find a boosting partner and then go to the online portion. Select "Online Head to Head." Make sure you are in a ranked match, and then go to advanced settings. In advanced settings, go to gameflow and then change gameflow to off. Then, prefer your boosting partner. Once you have all of this done, have your partner and yourself search for a match at the same time. If you find each other, load up the game and begin play. If not, keep searching.
Once in game, find a play on offense that is in shotgun, and have the defender call a Field goal block. Hike it and instantly throw to one of your receivers. Run the receiver in for a TD. Rinse and repeat, and then do an onside kick. Rinse and repeat. Do this throughout the entire game until you hit 250 points a piece, because if you go over 255, then none of your points will count. AGAIN, MAKE SURE TO STAY BELOW 255 PER PERSON!!!!! Once you hit 250, then do running plays or QB kneels throughout the rest of the game and be sure not to score.
