How to unlock the Player Interception Record achievement in NCAA Football 08 - Definitive Guide

I got this from Augustus' guide on x360a. I can vouch for it 100%
Note: I don't know what play he's talking about, but I used Cross Up from page 8 of the standard pass playbook and it worked fine.

"Recommended Scenario: 15 Minute Quarters, Heisman Difficulty, all sliders at 100 for user, two controllers, Idaho vs. USC

How to Achieve: Play against yourself, with the account you want the achievement in as USC. With the Idaho controller, go to standard pass and on the 8th (maybe 7th) page there will be a play in the bottom left hand corner that has the Idaho WR running a straight route alone. In USC, go to 4-3, then the first play in the upper left hand corner. Substitute the first Idaho receiver on the depth chart with one of the lower players, ideally a quarterback or the slowest person available. Immediately snap the ball with Idaho and tap B. The QB should lob it right to the USC corner, who will catch it 80% of the time (which is why we put it on Heisman). Don't do anything fancy with returns, as you can be injured. When calling offense with USC, just punt and repeat the play with Idaho until you have the required six interceptions with your cornerback."

Works perfectly, glad I checked here before I tried grinding them out myself (with 1 controller).

First 6 passes were interceptions!

I thought that I would never get this achievement until I read this solution. I give this a positive rating.

Disagree with the previous comment, this solution was spot-on and worked first time. Super easy, only took me ~40 seconds of game time!

Worked like an absolute charm. Doesn't have to be USC, but it definitely works. 6 of 8 plays were INTs, and it unlocked immediately.

Make sure you don't do this achievement with a WR because it does not work. Only took me an hour long game to find out.

setting your defensive INT AI to 100 helps a ton to make sure they dont drop it and that they make a play on the ball i didnt even have to control the guy for a couple ints

Teams USC vs Idaho
Difficulty Heisman
Time 5 min quarters

Make sure you have control of USC and kick off to Idaho.

What you want to run is under Standard Passes on page 7
Cross Up play -
X man runs a straight route
B man runs a half slant

With USC use 4-3 defense using the Engage Eight play.
Hike the ball give it a second and launch it at the B man. CB 28 should easily pick it off without interference.

I ran it in for a TD each time.

The achievement came after the 5th one for me, but it should have been the 6th.

I tried doing this using 15 min quarters like the other guide but the achievement didn't pop so I tried this and it worked.

That is really odd then. Because I ran each back for a TD and when I scored 35 points it unlocked. I really only wrote this one because the lead solution was confusing to me.

It will not unlock when you intercept the 5th ball, it unlocks after the 6th one. The achievement is to break the record, which is set at 5.

I JUST did this and it unlocked when #3 of Florida Gators got his 6th interception.

Credit goes to "suspect667" here on TA. He posted this solution for NCAA 2009, and it helped me obtain the achievement here too. It's quite simple

1. go to: My NCAA, My Settings, House Rules, Custom AI.
2. Switch computer offense settings QB accuracy to 0.
3. Switch User defense settings: Awareness=100, Knockdowns=0, Interceptions=100, and Break Block=0 (allows cpu more time to make a bad throw)
4. Put difficulty level to Freshman and 15 minute qtrs.
5. Play against Hawaii and on defense use bump-and-run, man coverage all day long and you'll get about 30 team interceptions before you finally have one guy rack up 6 total interceptions.
6. When you get the ball back, just punt the ball away on 1st down.

The easiest way I found to get interceptions was to use the play "2 Man Under" and just take control of the player who is guarding the receiver, step out in front and snag it. You won't get one every possession, but just keep at it. Move the quarter length up to help. (This required 6 interceptions.)
