How to unlock the Triple Crown achievement in Madden NFL 17 - Definitive Guide

Someone had posted a guide here that I followed and it worked. But looks like it' got deleted.

Here is how to do it :

You can do this with 2 controllers.

Play Now , Rookie, any min qtrs.

Pause game when it starts. Go into Settings, Player Skill , Move Fumbles Slider all the way to 0.

Make sure 2nd controller profile is on offense and choose Special Teams - Fake Punt With Release Play.

With Active controller (defense), move one of your Defensive players right besides the punter before snapping the ball with the other controller.

Snap the ball with the other controller, and then use the active profile controller to tackle the punter using the RB button (strip ball).

The punter will fumble the ball and make sure you recover it with the same defensive player.

You may have to do it a few times to get it to work. I had to try it several times since another one of my defensive players kept recovering. It helps calling the defensive play a Dime or Prevent defense.

Added : from user comments - put the second controller on all madden difficulty to make it easier.

If you put the second controller on all madden difficulty they are more likely to fumble, thanks for the guide

Did this solution for about 2 hours and only got 1 fumble. Then I followed randizzle10's advice of putting player 2 on All-Madden difficulty and got it on the first play. Also, if you're really having trouble with this, go to manage rosters and turn down the speed of the O-Line, QB, RB and it'll make it very easy

I deleted it because it was getting tons of negative votes, but yea this is exactly how I got the achievement in about 5 minutes. Don't know why everybody else was having so much bad luck getting the punter to fumble. I got them to fumble almost every single time without changing difficulty on controller 2 or anything. The only thing I had to keep retrying for was to get the person who caused the fumble to recover it.

@erod - thanks for putting up the original solution. If you want to put it back up, I can delete mine or you can just add it. I got the punter to fumble each time too by following your solution. Don't take any of the negative votes personally. The majority of people appreciate solutions but just don't take time to positive vote them.

Worked perfect once I put the 2nd controller on all madden the punter fumbled every time. It took about 7-8 times for me to recover it

I can't strip the ball at all. I've tried over 20 times following this guide, and I haven't stripped it once.

Spent hours doing it the other way where you move the QB to the left and try tackle him, got about 100 fumbles but some other player always picked it up.

Tried this method and it worked literally the first attempt! Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to do this online with a buddy? I don't have a second controller.

This bastard took me forever.

The KEY TO THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS MOVEMENT.
When you do the fake release punt, try and lean your joystick on the punter to one side or at least have him moving then use your Linebacker on the opposing team to attempt the strip ball. It'll be a LOT easier. Since I tried that I've been 3/3 on strips

You know what’s messed up? I’ve tried wholeheartedly for over a year trying to get this achievement legit and just randomly popped for me in a draft champions game. I did not force a fumble or recover one. Not gonna worry though. Haha

I was having trouble getting this with the normal roster so I downloaded a roster named "GauntletCheese" I loaded up the roster and went into manage roster. In here I changed the bills strong safety, Williams, to 99 overall and kept everyone else the same. I used two controllers and set both of the teams as Bills. Now use the guide above but make sure your character is Williams and he will get a sack, fumble, and recover it 99% of the time instead of it being based on luck.

The guides on other sites drove me nuts

Need 2 controllers
Set Fumbles to 0, Holding to 0

Pick a team with strong linebackers (Ravens/Packers work fine)
Pick other team as Browns

Before you start set the Browns to All Madden, Set your team to Rookie. The reason you do this is you want the Browns oline to beat your dline up so they can't recover the fumble

Move the browns on offense back to the <- 10 yard line

Now the Browns on Controller 2 every offense play should be doing Fake Punt W Release
Your team should pick a Cover deep def play, then audible LB and dline (Hit l1 and R1 preplay) to Spread out (up on Right stick)

Now drag one of the two linebackers up and away, then as you hit X to snap the ball switch to to the other linebacker, run in and hit R1 to strip. Then you must get back up and quickly dive on the ball. This will take a few tries. Anytime your on offense just kick a fg and miss.

This is best done in "Play Now". You can use the 99 rated team downloaded for the legacy trophies. You may want to also either download a very low rated team in the community section or edit players yourself (speed, anticipation etc.). What you want to do is tackle the punter and use to strip the ball. The punter should fumble the ball, allowing you to recover it with the same player and return it. You could use a second controller and move your player right next to the punter before the snap. Tackle him, pick up the ball and return it. When the penalty notice appears, simply allow the TD and you'll get your trophy.

Obtaining this trophy vs. the computer on any difficulty and using any rosters or settings will be frustrating. It’s not hard to sack the QB or even make him fumble using my rosters with the 49ers vs. the Rams. The problem is having that same player who sacked the QB then get up and recover the fumble with 21 other players all trying to do the same thing. I developed the best and easiest strategy for unlocking this trophy.

Use my rosters. Play as the 49ers vs. the LA Rams. The Niners defense is full of 99s and I edited Goff to have 0 carry so he easily fumbles. You should go into settings and adjust the player skill so they have 0 pass blocking and 0 fumbling. Oh and turn off the play clock.

From here on in, defense play Man Up 3 Deep from the Quarters formation. On offense choose any Hail Mary pass. On defense audible the 3 down lineman into deep zones. After the snap, move the QB out of the pocket and away from his blockers. Control the MLB (Bowman) and attack the QB. You can hit stick the QB by pressing or attempted to force the fumble by punching the ball out using . Either way just force that chump to fumble. Now be quick and try to recover the ball to unlock this trophy.

This is the tough one. You need to use a 99 overall team against a terrible team. And by terrible, I mean you need to go and edit EVERY player that could be on the front line during a fake punt passing play (Special teams guys). Adjust their speed and anticipation so they are all very low.

You can do this with two controllers in Play Now.

Pause game when it starts. Go into Settings, Player Skill , Move Fumbles Slider all the way to 0.

Make sure second controller profile is on offense and choose Special Teams - Fake Punt (passing).

With Active controller (defense), move one of your Defensive players right besides the punter before snapping the ball with the other controller (offside).

Snap the ball with the other controller, and then use the active profile controller to tackle the punter using the RB button (strip ball). The punter will fumble the ball and make sure you recover it with the same defensive player. You need to pick it up and return it with the same guy. It might take a few tries. Then just deny the penalty and allow the score. Achievement unlocks!
