How to unlock the Max Effort achievement in Madden NFL 18 - Definitive Guide
This achievement is missable and during Act 3. There are a series of 3 flashback games in high school where we will need to concentrate. You need to just hit every QTE sequence as prompted. For the sake of preparedness, this is the order of the QTE's:
Game 1 (Sophomore) - ; ; + ;
Game 2 (Junior) - ; Steer the ball sequence #3/5 (3:20 - 3:37 in the video - Pause, watch the guide first, then replicate.)
Game 3 (Senior) - No QTE to start, but rather another game similar to Act 1 where we just need to succeed and not worry about missing anything (for now.) Just stick to your defensive assignment when on defense by holding and you'll have to do very little work! If the ball does ever come to you whilst defending then hold to swat the ball or assure you can tackle. On offense, score in an exact manner as the previous game in Act 1. If for whatever reason you concede, you're best quitting out rather than retrying in-game.
After the score gets to 31-27 and triggers to a cutscene, you must be prepared for the final QTE section of two prompts - ; + . If you fail any of these QTE's, quit out and restart all the way back at the beginning of the entire flashback sequence. If you were paying attention, though, you should unlock the following achievement as soon as Devin gets the pick six.

MISSABLE
Near the beginning of Act 3 you will summon your inner Al Bundy and relive your high school glory days. When the flashback starts you will have to run for a touchdown using QTEs. This will be followed by another QTE and Steer the Ball moment. Finally, after scoring 3 touchdowns you will have to intercept a pass and return it for a touchdown using QTEs. The trophy will be yours, providing you don't fail the QTEs. See here for a video Guide: LINK
Self explanatory. Buttons pop up and hit them on time and in order.
