How to unlock the Walter Payton Legacy Award achievement in Madden NFL 25 - Definitive Guide
While nasty's Solution is valid and works I have defined the solution to step by step and get these faster then doing offline.
First of all I want to give credit where it is due, this is ported over from the achievement listing for the 360 version (Majority of comments are from SamuelHayne). Also want to give props to Nasty for providing the roster.
Doing it this way should cut down the achievement to about 45 minutes.
1. At the Madden home screen, go to share. Download the Nasty's Roster.
2. After the it is done downloading go back to the home screen, go to the right and go under Customization. Click Manage Files and then load the roster.
3. After loading the roster, go back to the home screen. Once at the home screen go to the Play option and select Connected Franchise.
4. Select Create Online.
5. Name the team anything you want.
6. Under Roster, choose custom.
7. Make your online league private and set a password (doesn't matter what it is)
8. The game will start importing your roster.
9. Once that finishes it will display "Begin a Career" on this option choose coach.
10. Select "Create a Coach"
11.The coach option you want to select is the "Team Builder"
12. In this instance since the modified team is the 49er's you want to select them. If the roster loaded correctly you should see all 4 people rated at 99.
13. At the "Edit Coach Screen", just click "Accept & Continue"
14. At the setting screen the only ones you want to change are the difficulty (set to "All Madden"), and the CPU sign free agents and re-sign players to contract extensions.
15. After those changes go back to the top and select "Start Career"
16. Start online league
17. Start the season
18. Select Advance Week, it will prompt for confirmation.
19. This is what your now going to do for 4 preseason games, 17 regular season games, a playoff, and the Super Bowl.
20. Once the season is completed make sure to simulate the draft.
22. Repeat steps 18-20.
The achievement should take 3 seasons including the Super Bowls. Again full credit goes to Nasty for providing the roster and SamuelHayne for the steps laid out. I just refined everything and put it on the guides for the Xbox one.
Happy hunting!!
If down voting please let me know why so I can learn from my mistakes.
Once in settings change ONLY the difficulty to ALL-MADDEN and allow the CPU to sign free agents and re-sign players.
Now all you have to do is simulate through every game and you shouldnt lose one. You will get the achievement the end of the third season after winning the super bowl. Make sure each season when you get to the playoffs to save just in case you lose during the playoffs (so you just reload your save).
This will get you all of the legacy achievements.
"Legit" and Time Consuming: Play the crap out of Connected Franchise! iIf you want to have more fun with it, play with friends. The best way to earn legacy is win SuperBowls and yearly awards.
Quick and Easy: Start out by downloading a roster that has a SINGLE team at 99 OVR ("Download Community Files" under "share"). Next you want to load that roster into your game by going to "Customize" and selecting "Manage Files". From there select "Load and Delete Files" press R1 to go to "Roster" and select the 99 OVR roster you just downloaded. Now when you go to start your Offline Franchise, it will ask you if you want to import custom roster, select this option. Now create a Motivated Coach, turn off salary cap, make the difficulty All-Madden, 7 minute quarters, and leave everything else the way they are. Now sim for about 3 seasons until you get the Trophy! (No there isn't a faster way to sim other than weekly). Don't worry about the off-season or losing because it won't matter, your team should be a 99 OVR.
During the process of unlocking this trophy you
To easily get the above set of trophies related to legacy score you can either edit a team to all 99 rated players or download the roster made by Leptonic (Press to search Leptonic in Community Files under Madden Share) who already has the Dolphins rated to 99. Once you have downloaded or created a roster make sure that it is currently your active roster then go into Connected Career mode. Chose to do the CCM as a Coach with a Motivation focus and make sure you have Salary Cap off, put your difficulty to All-Madden and 7-minute quarters now leave everything else at their defaults. Sim every game for 3 seasons and you should get this trophy, along with all the other Connected Career trophies, by the time you win your third Super Bowl. Don't worry about losing any games because your 99 rated team can't be beaten.
