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