How to unlock the Lock and Load achievement in NCAA Football 12 - Definitive Guide

This method words best with 2 controllers.

choose play now from the main menu. Next choose exhibition game.

Home team (controller 1) = Alabama Crimson Tide
Away team (Controller 2) = San Jose Spartans

Once in the game have controller 2 receive and you kick the ball off. After the kick off you will choose the following play for each team.

Alabama = sort by play type. Choose MAN. Then choose man coverage. Find the play double outside. I believe its play number 24 or 27. Cant remember which

San Jose = sort by play type. Choose Pass then standard pass. Find the play "Y shallow cross"

Once you are all set up at the line of scrimmage have controller 1 press B to cycle through the players until you are the CB that covering the B WR. Click in the LS (left stick) Take controller 2 and press A to hike the ball. As soon the the QB comes to the end of his 5 step drop tap B to lob a pass to that WR. Take controller 1 and press Y to intercept the ball. Now all you have to do is score a TD and presto. Achievement unlocked!


If you want to make things a bit easier Edit the Speed, acceleration of the following positions for San Jose so that the stats say 0(zero) (you need to edit the player that is in the top spot for that position on San Jose's roster.)

LT
LG
C
RG
RT
TE

Once you do that go into you settings and house rules. Highlight the setting Player Min speed threshold and make sure its all the way to the left (zero)

Those should make it a hell of alot easier. Enjoy this now easy eachievement :)

Great guide, you might want to add one small thing I noticed (exact problem XJ220 Shroom had). When your player is only swatting the ball, but not intercepting, you do not have to edit roster stats. Change your difficulty from whatever it was to Heisman. I tried for 30 minutes on Freshman and swatted it everytime, then switched to Heisman difficulty and had it on the next play.

Orig posting didnt get achieve. All other comments didnt help either. I think its the "lock on". Does it say on screen lock on? Is it at main menu? Just not seeing it.

to sliceasaurus, make sure you are covering said receiver in the original post, click in the LS and you should she the icon of a lock in a circle under your CB then just follow the rest of the guide and good luck... BTW this guide was a gem, got this on my second pass, same with the "In Your Crosshairs" last two to complete this game, thanks man!

Great guide, worked like a charm. But like previous guy stated I didn't see Double X under defense either. I just used Man Coverage: Double Press. And for offense I didn't see Y Shallow Cross under standard pass either, so I just used Curls. Got interception almost every time. Got the interception return for a touchdown on my second try. First try I got tackled as a stupidly ran into one of their players and try to stiff arm but did not work out well. lol. Other than that good guide.

Great guide people need to read this more clearly. Put the difficulty in HEISMAN and your CB should get the interception and have a open path to the end zone

This method did not work for me at ALL at first. Every damn time I would hit Y to pick it, he would just swat it. I tried it over 50 times. Just kept simming my offense.

What I did was took everything he said to do, but I also edited Alabama's #1 cornerback, #21, Kirkpatrick to all 99's. Very first pass was a pick 6. Achievement unlocked.

So just do everything he said to do, but also edit #21 to all 99's for the easy pick 6.

Good solution - but just to throw my 2 cents in (for anyone having trouble):

1. There is no "Double Outside". I used Man > Man Coverage > Double X for Bama on defense.

2. Couldn't get this using any "Standard Pass" - but "Y Shallow Cross" under "Shotgun" worked like a charm.

3. Definitely set it to "Heisman" difficulty. Was getting an interception 4 out of 5 times on Heisman (the CB was swatting it 4 out of 5 times on "Amateur".)

4. My final suggestion is: just let the CB intercept the ball and run it in on his own. Every time I would try to switch controllers and use the 'Y' button to intercept, the damn San Jose RB would tackle me. On the attempt that got this to pop for me, I never let go of the second controller. Instead I lobbed the ball, and then - after the Bama CB intercepted and started running the ball back - I kept switching ('B' button) to the "nearest" San Jose tackler & then diving ('X' button) the nearest tackler out of the way. My Bama CB just walked into the end zone.

2 controller method? I thought the achievement says No Co-Op. Did you get the achievement with another profile?

yes, no co-op mean you can not have 2 controllers on the same team. I tried this on my friends 360 and *ping* achievement unlocked

1. Alabama does not have a defensive play called "Double Outside" 2. San Jose State Does not have a play called "Shallow Cross" under standard pass. Negative vote from me.

@ PBreezey - San Jose State has the "Y Shallow Cross" play under Shotgun Pass, not Standard Pass.

I used the 2 controller method.

For your profile use Alabama
For the other one use Buffalo

Put the game on Heisman difficulty because a bad pass is guaranteed to be picked off. Also make sure you turn interceptions all the way up and offsides off.

Have Alabama kickoff to Buffalo and have them run out of bounds at the 1 or 2 yard line. Pick a man coverage play with Alabama and a bubble screen play with Buffalo. Make sure you player lock the defender and position him in between the QB and the WR. Snap the ball and throw it to your receiver and it should be an interception with your defender standing in the middle of the endzone.

I tried all other methods but I tried this one and got it on the first attempt. Please leave comments

I gave this thumbs up for 1 reason and 1 reason only. The most important thing you said in this whole solution is "PUT THE GAME ON HEISMAN". I got this 1rst try when I changed the skill level

Can be unlocked on Road to Glory. Be sure to pick a defensive player. A CB, safety, or linebacker would be your best bet. I actually got it with a DT on a tipped pass and got a defensive TD with it. Happened during high school season.

Custom game
unranked
invite your friend

Offense: Hail Mary Trips
Defense: 3-4 Cover2

Before hiking change (X) WR to do 10 yd Curl (press Y, then X, then down on left analog)

Hike the ball, wait for wr to stop moving, throw.

Press Y to intercept and run in for TD. If you need help, have offense press B to pick closest player and run away from the defensive player trying to score.

I have verified this on different quarter lengths and difficulties. The only "glitch" I found was that only the HOST got the achievement, as a guest it did not pop. So, find a trust worthy friend and trade off!

Pick any team and edit all of their starting offensive players to 0 speed. Use the left stick to make it go faster adjusting the sliders. Edit these players:

QB
RB
3 of the first 4 WRs (set the #2 WR to around 70 speed)
TE
LT
LG
C
RG
RT

Set the Player Min Speed Threshold slider to 0. Put difficulty on Heisman and put the User Interceptions slider to 100.

Use 2 controllers and pick any team against the team you just edited. You can also edit the #2 CB on your team to be 99 speed and 99 catching, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Start the game and kickoff to the bad team. Have them select a play where the X receiver runs a streak like Hail Mary Trips. On defense, pick 4-3 or 3-4 defense play where the safeties are in man coverage (top two on the diagram are X's, not circles) like Over Storm Brave or any blitz play. This prevents them from interfering with the CB who will intercept the pass. On controller 1, select the CB on the left by holding B and pressing left on the left stick and then click the left stick to turn on player lock. Hold the left trigger and press X to spotlight the X receiver.

Now snap the ball on controller two and after 1-2 seconds tap X to throw a lob. Press B on controller 2 and hold the left stick left to make the receiver run out of bounds. Then switch to controller 1 and press Y to intercept the ball. Now run it back for a touchdown while everyone else on the field is too slow to catch you.

This worked first try for me using Ohio State against an edited Michigan team, getting both Lock and Load and In Your Crosshairs in 1 try.

To use player lock, you have to press while on defense. Once you're locked on, you will need to intercept a pass and score a touchdown. Easiest way to do this is with 2 controllers in a Play Now game. Have player 2 throw a deep ball to a receiver and then run the receiver away from the ball. Intercept it with player 1 and return it for a touchdown.

This is one of the hardest achievements for the game. You can use 2 controllers to make it a little easier. What I did was max out all of CB stats on a team. Then selected that team and a team with a weak defense and set the quarter length to 15 min. When the opposing team has the ball, get it down to somewhere around the 20. For the opposing team select one of the plays that has just one receiver running out then select a man coverage play for your team. Highlight the player covering that one receiver then select that player with player lock () and hold and select the receiver you are covering (for the In Your Crosshairs achievement), then used the second controller to pass in the direction until you intercepted the ball. Pick up your controller and run it back in for a touchdown.
