Ok I just got the 10 legacy achievements in 10-15 minutes, Once I got the team sorted.

Ill share here how I did it.

First you need to download my Roster, press

along to customise on the main menu, then select share and manage files from the menu. Then select the download community files option, and download the file seahawkslegacy created by scottish nutter.

Then still in the customise menu, select load and delete files. Tap

to go along to rosters, and then select the seahawkslegacy roster you have just downloaded, to load it into the game.

Go back to the main menu and select franchise.

Choose cloud, and start a new franchise. Make sure to select, use active roster not preason roster.

Make sure you select the Seattle Seahawks and before you start the season, select league settings. Change the skill level to All-Madden, and salary cap to off. Towards the bottom of the menu, Re-sign players, Fill Roster, progress players, sign off season free agents, and simulate game prep activities are all set to on. Also make sure your league is set to private.

Back out of the settings menu, and select change role above. Select a coach, create coach, and the team builder style.

Now start the season, and go down to advance week, tap down so you can select how far to sim, press left to select sim 10 years, and press

and wait for the 10 achievements to pop.

Once you have all 10 achievements you can

to cancel simming, you do not need to wait for the 10 years to finish.

I had to sim 20 years, but this method works. Wish the roster was better so I didn't have to sit and wait to play some Madden haha

Thanks!

By Broadan26 on 26 Sep 2015 21:58

Thanks, worked great! I did have to sim another 10 years to get Walter Payton and Peyton Manning, ended up getting it in 12 seasons.

By khan800 on 20 Aug 2015 20:01

I created a roster as well named Dallas99. I chose to do it offline and on my coach, I made him a Strategist instead. I got all the achieves before the end of the year 2020. My team won out all superbowls and had perfect seasons too.

Thanks for the Guide

By JuniorMT on 20 Aug 2015 20:08

I just wanted to say I simmed 20 years with the Seahawks roster with no achievement but got it after 4 years with the Dallas roster

By xdanza on 21 Aug 2015 01:04

By on 21 Aug 2015 02:16

ok i got it on a second try with seatle tks for help but take me 2 try first 10 season i got only 1348 legacy score but i retry it from the beginning and i got alll other achievement in 5 season great

By on 21 Aug 2015 04:52

I don't know. I'd say Peyton has 8k legacy score at best.

By sirbradenwalker on 21 Aug 2015 06:23

My first try I got 28k legacy in only 6 seasons. My mate who used this method took a couple of attempts. I think it's part down to a wee bit of luck, but this does work. Just might take a couple of attempts. Only takes 10mins max to run thro a 10season sim.

By Scottish Nutter on 21 Aug 2015 07:49

Worked Great. Thanks.

By Gigatoreador on 21 Aug 2015 20:10

Tried the Seahawks roster multiple times even going over 15 seasons with no luck. Used the Dallas99 roster and got it during the during the 7th or 8th season.

By BudgetBallin360 on 21 Aug 2015 22:58

Boom, done after 2019 Superbowl! Thanks.

By Gman10692 on 21 Aug 2015 23:50

Error when trying to download any roster :(

By Bob101910 on 22 Aug 2015 22:56

And done! Thank you for the roster, and solution.

By Doomstuff on 23 Aug 2015 00:40

It won't let me download any roster as well...

By KatchPhrase420 on 24 Aug 2015 17:18

Got them all by the start of the 2021 season, thanks a bunch. :)

By Effigy on 24 Aug 2015 22:26

I keep getting an error when trying to download the file. Very frustrating!

By Hamfam9598 on 28 Aug 2015 01:45

@JuniorMT while scrolling through looking for the Seahawks one I came across yours and almost installed it. I'm sorry I didn't :(

By CenzBros on 29 Aug 2015 18:12

Only the first one pops for me. Really strange, No idea what I am doing wrong.
Doing exactly like the guide says but with Dallas99.

By gunhero on 31 Aug 2015 21:28

weird, I can't DL the file as well

By carini on 01 Sep 2015 19:48

I also cannot download the seahawks or dallas file. I did download an alternative file but can't get the last 4 achievements. Only got the first 5.

By ClarkSt3540 on 01 Sep 2015 21:02

Followed the instructions exactly as stated and got the Peyton achievement by 2019 season. Thanks!

By Kramer on 08 Sep 2015 04:55

None of the achievements are popping for me. Simmed 11 seasons using the Dallas99 roster and had a legacy score that was over 19,000 but none of the achievements unlocked. :( Will try again this weekend.

By JasperXtreme on 18 Sep 2015 19:44

Just a note that while I was simming the achievements weren't toast popping on console but were on a W10 device so you should be getting them even if they dont immediately show up.

By mightyirons on 28 Oct 2015 20:27

Do this as an Owner, instead of a Coach, and you cannot get fired. My first attempt, I got fired and forced to retire with only 985 legacy points. I simmed 10 years, only to find out that I retired after 2 haha.

By BARTLEBEE on 31 Oct 2015 12:53

I was also forced to retire at 17775 legacy points, so missed the last achievement.

By stordoff on 26 Nov 2015 18:21

If anyone is still struggling with this achievement, while you're in the league settings menu, turn off coach firing, if you created a coach, this way you're not simming 10 years to find out your coach was fired in the second season.

By dirtyFNdanglez on 03 Dec 2015 21:50

Just set Coach Firing to off, it's in the league settings.

By nengun on 13 Jan 2016 12:35

How does it take 10 minutes for 10 years? This shit is taking much longer for me. Still no achievement :(

By VRETENAR 906 on 30 Jan 2016 09:45

works fine !!! thx !!!

!!! "load the downloaded file is the most important" !!!

By AbstauberGER on 09 Feb 2016 21:32

Has anyone found a way to solve the issue where you can't download files?

By Itzz Sh0wt1m3 on 23 Feb 2016 22:25

I got the first 5 after 2 match in second season rest unlocked throughout great solution thanks for making the effort to do it

Edit for some reason the 20,000 unlocked before the 15,450 not sure why

By M0j0s d0j0 on 31 Mar 2016 09:53

You don't need downloaded rosters. Just go to team schedule and make sure your team wins every game with a created coach. It also works with the playoffs. Sure, it takes longer but at least you don't have to worry about having to download a roster or your front office making stupid decisions.

By Apostle92627 on 02 May 2016 04:37

I've tried this roster about 3-4 times now and still no luck. Used the Dallas99 solution and got it on the 1st try. Don't know what the issue is. You should probably add a note about Coach Firing in the League Settings though. I turned this off for Dallas99 sim, so maybe that was the difference?...

By GoBlueFiddler13 on 05 Jul 2016 15:38

Worked perfect thanks

By Thx on 21 Oct 2016 18:54

Did 20 years and only manage 11k legacy score. Like many others are saying use Dallas99 sim instead as that worked after 3/4 years.

By Jezamiah on 25 Jan 2017 21:17

10-15 mins my arse lol

By Skoobasaurus on 30 Aug 2017 00:20

My buddy has 126k and no achievemwnts lol

By King Nufftings on 02 Sep 2017 00:30

I've also tried this numerous times. Going to try the coach firing option tonight. Made it to 170 legacy yesterday and got fired apparently haha. Thanks for the work into this solution!

By Spec K89 on 04 Oct 2017 12:01

Didn’t get the last 2 achievements because my coach got fired. Once I turned off Coach Firing it worked fine

By MemesNBeer on 28 Feb 2019 20:12

Simmed 30 years with this Seahawks roster and only popped 4 achievements... Simmed using the Dallas roster and popped 2 more achievements in the second season, 2 in the third, and the final 2 in the fourth.

By Hatpocalypse on 25 Aug 2015 01:27

Scottish. Nutter you are a saint! On madden 25 I made myself a QB and gained it all through skill at this game, spent a good 3 weeks on it. madden 15 I skipped over it and went to. MuT. Thank you for this thumbs up!

Here's how I did it and you don't need to download a special roster:

1: Create your Franchise (can be online or offline) with any team.
2: Set difficulty to All-Madden and make sure the CPU does all the roster moves.
3: Turn off coach settings as well (Credit for the reminder: Exe the Hero).
4: Now change role- Coach, new coach, pick the style you want, accept & continue.
5: Sim the preseason.
6: Go to league schedules and press

to do force win. Select home if your team is playing at home (vs.) and away if your team is on the road (@). Do this for all your games.
NOTE: Away is on the left and Home is on the right (Credit for the reminder: Exe the Hero).
7: Do the same for each playoff game/Super Bowl).
8: Sim offseason letting the CPU do the work
9: Rinse and repeat steps 5-8 until you have all the achievements.

NOTE: You can also use this method to get the following achievements:

The Sammy Watkins Legacy Award achievement in Madden NFL 16 worth 18 pointsUsing a created player, coach, or owner - surpass a legacy score of 25

The Ha Ha Clinton Dix Legacy Award achievement in Madden NFL 16 worth 19 pointsUsing a created player, coach, or owner - surpass a legacy score of 125

The Teddy Bridgewater Legacy Award achievement in Madden NFL 16 worth 20 pointsUsing a created player, coach, or owner - surpass a legacy score of 300

I couldn't get any of the premade rosters to work, so I tried your method and it worked perfectly... after a few tweaks!
I'd add two things to your solution:
1) Turn off Coach Firing
2) Note that the away team is on the left and home team is on the right. I know nothing about football, so I did not know this haha. I did my entire first season backwards, effectively losing all 16 games. I'm sure I'm not alone in not knowing this :)

Thanks again! +1

By Exe the Hero on 01 May 2016 21:28

Yeah, I could get only a few of the achievements to work with created rosters as well. I also had to thing about how to get my team to win every game. I'll add your ideas.

By Apostle92627 on 02 May 2016 04:26

@HookEmHorns1985 Are you sure you're on All-Madden difficulty? You get more Legacy points that way.

By Apostle92627 on 29 Jan 2017 17:07

The other solutions did not work. Someone might as well add a solution advising to not waste time on the download roster solutions and go immediately to this solution.

By PaulRKraft on 23 Jan 2019 10:29

This took a long time but did work. Better than trying the custom rosters over and over...

By ChuckieJ on 21 Feb 2019 03:13

Great guide! Thank you

By Mince lfc on 11 Feb 2021 20:08

Superb, much better than the roster options. Had all 10 achievements in 4 seasons using this method... simmed 50 years worth using the other guides to no avail!

By LlekNai on 22 Nov 2016 14:04

I'm wondering if I'm doin somethin wrong because I have done 10 seasons of doing it this way and have yet to even get the marshawn lynch achievement. Guy above me said he got them all in 4 seasons. I'm confused!

This method will get you all 10 legacy score-related trophies in 30-60 minutes. It's the same method that's been used since Madden added the "sim 10 years" option, so I take no credit for this solution!

(1) From the main menu, hit

to go to the Customize menu. Select Share & Manage Files, then select Download Community Files.

(2) Hit

to go to Roster, sort by number of downloads, and download the file named MEASYTROPHIES by M-Easy. This was the first roster I found that did the trick.

(3) Go back to Share & Manage Files, go to Load and Delete Files, and load that roster.

(4) Head back to the main menu, go to Connected Franchise. Select offline, then hit Start a New Franchise. Select Use Active Roster.

(5) Scroll right to the San Francisco 49ers. If you loaded the roster right, the top 3 players will all be 99 overall. Select them as your team.

(6) Select Change Role. Select Coach, then Create Coach. Set your style to Team Builder, then create your coach (hit Accept & Continue). You don't need to change anything else about him.

(7) Go to Settings. Set Salary Cap to OFF, make it All-Madden difficulty, Fill Roster to ON, Re-Sign Players to ON, Progress Players to ON, Sign Offseason Free Agents to ON.

(8) Back out with CIRCLE, then hit Start Playing Regular Season.

(9) Select Advance Week, hit down, then left, then

to sim 10 years. Simming takes a while, so walk away and check back later. If you sit there and watch the trophies (slowly) pop, you can cancel the sim when you see the Peyton Manning Legacy Award unlock.

NOTE: To check your progress at any time, hit

to cancel the sim. Then, go to Manage, then My Coach, then Coach Goals. On this screen, you'll clearly see your legacy score! To get all 10 trophies, you need to exceed 20,000.
