Face the hidden boss after Classic Campaign with a team from each division

How to unlock the NBA Domination achievement in NBA JAM - Definitive Guide

Simply do what the achievement says, and beat the hidden boss following the Classic Campaign with a team from the 6 NBA divisions. This requires you to play a total of 222 games, which is a lot more than most people are willing to play.

So, the way that I've worked on this achievement is as follows. Find something in your room that is fairly heavy (I've used Guitar Hero drums and a coffee table mainly). When you start the campaign pick a team who's starting SECOND player has a good overall block, rebound, and 2-pt shooting. Make sure the difficulty is set to Easy.

Now what you want to do is put your controller under the heavy object so that the "X" button is pressed down constantly. Start the game, and your player will basically jump around the court the whole game and shoot full-court shots off of inbounds plays. This may sound like it won't work, but throughout the first 4.5 campaigns I have played I've only lost one game. So basically all you have to do is hit "A" a few times at halftime and to start the next game and your AI partner will play and win for you, leaving you to do homework or whatever else you want.

Nappster...not sure you understand the achievement. You need to beat the classic campaign with 1 team from each of the 6 divisions from the NBA. Make sense? Or is that what you did?

You probably deleted the past campaigns you finished, which delete any history of you even completing it.

If you start a two player campaign and then play through the whole thing with only one player, but play the hidden boss with two people, with the profile on the second controller still get the achievement for beating the hidden boss?

I got this "legit", meaning I played through the campaign 6 times with 6 different teams (Miami, Chicago, Phoenix, OKC, Philadelphia, and the World Champion Dallas Mavericks), but I did it over the course of about 8 months. The achievement is not difficult, as I rarely if ever lost a game, but it is overwhelmingly tedious. In order to not make the achievement so totally monotonous, I played the campaigns in parallel, meaning I started all six at once and then I'd play a few games with various teams just so that I didn't have to play with Chicago for 36 or 37 games straight. Thought I might offer that as a suggestion to break up the monotony for anyone else crazy enough to attempt this...

Not to totally nitpick the achievement guide here, but the requirement is only that you GET to the hidden boss, not beat it. You could feasibly get the achievement in 216 games - you will notice the Western Conference and Eastern Conference achievements pop at the start of the hidden boss game, not after you've beaten it. I just saved you an hour! You're welcome.

thanks perfectdozen for the first 2 campaigns i beat the stickmen and on my third the chieve did pop at the begining of the hidden battle :) now just 2.5 campaigns to go and i might just do the rubber band method for the rest lol. Its getting real boring doing this "legit".

I just thought that I would expand on rubber band method a bit.

To further speed up your controller trick as well as have to worry less about the rosters... you must choose teams that have a good default roster without having to change anything before each game.

You do this so that you can also use a held down turbo A button to just start the next game. When I turbo'd my A button at halftime or end of the game, I would just hold it down for about 5 seconds and not even look at the menu, It saves alot on time and convenience.

The Teams that have the best default roster to use are:

Eastern Conference:
NY Knicks - Gallinari and Stoudemire
Miami - Lebron and Wade
Chicago - Boozer and Rose

Western Conference:
OKC - Green and Durant
San Antonio - Parker and Duncan
LA Lakers - Kobe and Gasol

Hope it helps, it cut down alot on time and effort while going for this.

This trophy will come naturally when you are going for Western Conference Domination and Eastern Conference Domination. You will need to defeat all 29 NBA teams and the 7 legends teams to face the hidden boss after the credits are over with a team from each of the three Eastern Conference Divisions and a team from each of the three Western Conference Divisions; for a total of six Classic Campaign play throughs. This trophy should pop when you face the hidden boss for the sixth time, but if it doesn't then defeat the hidden boss for the trophy to pop.

If you feel the need to get through the six Classic Campaigns quicker, then look at the strategy below.(Credit: SinRG)

I'm in the middle of going after the campaign trophies and I found an easier way to get the games done without having to pay much attention.

What you need:
1) A team with a good rebounder (2 Pt. high as well)
2) A rubber band
3) *OPTIONAL* A 3 Pt. Shooter

What you want to do is make your CPU teammate the good rebounder and make yourself a regular player (or 3 Pt. shooter). Rubber band down the button and then just sit and watch.

What happens is, your player will lob the ball from your end at the net. Your CPU teammate will then run down the court, grab the rebound and score. Rinse and repeat over and over again. Make note that you will have to press during half-time as well as to end the game. Essentially, let your CPU teammate do all the work.

Went 36/36 using this method with James and Wade, never lost once.

You must beat Classic Campaign six times, using one team from all six divisions. You will get this after the final match of your sixth campaign. This one is going to be time consuming. Going through once can take up to six hours. It seems like it should be longer because each quarter says three minutes, but the time is actually twice as fast as normal so each quarter is one and a half minutes. Here are some things to keep in mind. You can do this on easy every time... and why not? you are going to have to do it again and again. Don't delete completed saved games, they will help you keep track of what teams you have beaten it with. To help break up the monotony, I suggest you start at least one two player campaign with a friend to knock at least one of these divisions off in a different way.

You will earn this achievement after completing the campaign with a team from every single division. As a reminder, each campaign is composed of 37 games and there are a total of six different divisions. So, in order to earn this achievement you need to play a total of 222 games with six different teams from six different divisions.
