How to unlock the Blocks individual record achievement in NBA LIVE 08 - Definitive Guide
There are 4 main ways to get this achievement. Take whichever you like, but I'll put them in order of which ones are the hardest to the easiest. Also, you can mix and match for your best strategy. For all of these strategies, though, make sure that the quarter length are 12 minutes, difficulty is set to "Rookie", all foul frequencies are turned all the way down, and the Shot Clock is turned on (if it's off, the computer has a bad habit of not shooting the ball).
1) Do this achievement legitimately. **Note: This will take forever.**
2) Create a character who is 7'4" and put him on which ever team that you're going to be playing. He should be able to block most players shooting for the basket.
3) Create 8 players who are 5'4". Pick which ever team you will be facing off against and sign all 8 of these players to that team and release all of the players from the team that were there before. Now the team should have 8 players named "Created Player" who are all 5'4" who won't be able to shoot over almost any of your players.
4) You'll need at least one wireless controller for this one. There's a glitch in the game that you can exploit. Start a 2-player game (one user on each team) with the profile of the person trying to get this achievement being the blocker [now being called "P1"] and the other controller being the blocked team [now being called "P2"]. Whenever P1 has the ball, make sure that P2 steals it away and moves outside the arch. Whenever P2 has the ball, make sure that the player guarding him is computer controlled (they're better at blocking than you'll be) and that P2 takes shots while being heavily guarded. Just about every shot that P2 takes will be blocked by P1.
Here's the most important part of the glitch in the game. Make sure that P1's team has one of their players with 18 blocks (you should have the 15 team blocks for "Blocking fest" by this point). When you're sure that there's enough, remove the battery from the controller of P2. The team selection screen should pop up with only P1's controller lit up and on their selected team while P2 is now dulled and in the middle. Press "A" to continue. There will be a note that says "Warning: Switching now will cause you to lose any progress you've made towards an achievement so far. Continue?" Just ignore it and continue. Pause again and go to "Quit Game" and "Rematch". When the tip-off starts, the achievement will unlock.
I know that you might be thinking "Android, it says in a solo game vs. the CPU, that can't possibly work. You're retarded!" But that's how I got the achievement and that's how I suggest you get it, otherwise this achievement will eat up your days trying to get it. If it doesn't unlock at the tip-off, just try again. I PROMISE that this works although I can't tell you why it works.

Great find android.
Rather than having P2 steal, i found it was really easy to have P1 shoot from their own half whenever they had possession. The ball would go out of bounds and P2 would get possession. I was able to get this achievement in 5 minutes of game time (10 minutes real time with all the stoppages in play)
Also, you really only need 1 5'4" player. Just make sure that he and the 7'6" player are playing the same position. it will save you some time while creating players and editing roster. (This took me about 10 minutes. So 20 minutes in total for the achievement)

2 controller method-I made a 7 foot 6 guy,then and 5 foot 4 guy,put them on diffenrent teams and placed them in the same positions.now head over to gameplay sliders and make it so you have the max rebounding stats.play a game and with the controller you are getting blocks with,play the 7 foot 6 guy.with the secound controller,play the 5 foot 4 guy.when you start,get both players facing each over and press x and y and the same time.it does take practice but it works.withing 2 quarters I had the 18 blocks with the 7 foot 6 guy.Because the height difference is very different,the 7.6 guy blocks the shots easy.i have also put a vid below to show you guys how it should look.this is the hardest achievement in the game,so when you have this,it's another completion.oh and remember to unplug the secound controller and pressing okay on your main controller on the thing about achievement progress.quit,rematch and boom!
See "Blocking Fest" Try to block all the shots with one player. 12 min quarters would be best.
