How to unlock the Point Some Fingers achievement in NCAA Football 12 - Definitive Guide

This is MUCH easier if you have a 5 star team.

Pick a 3 or 2 star player from the recruitment list, and make sure you call him for 60 mins (the longest you can).

Then when it cycles through each topic, go to compare to the other school... Anything you have a better grade in (even just A+ compared to A) then chose that option.

MAKE SURE you keep doing this to the same team for all 6 times.

If there is one that you aren't better than the other team, chose one of your 3 change topic's and try again.

I got 300+ with Michigan over a 2 or 3 star team.

Here was my example. I don't know if because it was a X2 day I got more points, but the guy was a 1 star FB (I needed a FB for Michigan) and I went up against UTEP and just crushed them for 511 points. (Even if it was a x2 coincidence, I still have 250+ without it)

OHHHHHHHH, my mistake! You have to get the negative points to add up to over 250, not the positives! No wonder it was not unlocking.

It makes sense now (maybe add it to the guide to better describe for others?)

I added a picture of the second time I got 300+ in one phone call for help if anyone needs it.

Yeah, you really just have to look around. Find a prospect that you need (helps with the score) then find a lower rated one (1-3 stars -- the lower the stars as Humpyrton says the better) because you'll be going against non-BCS and schools with lots of C's and D's to your A's and B's.

I used Oklahoma (6*) with a created coach (avoid that, actually), and got my achv on a call with a 3* from ok, who had tulsa as his #1. Got about -270...had to avoid coach prestige (created coaches suck) and proximity to home, but scored huge (-60, -70) with a few A+ to C or D comparisons.

I suggest doing against a 1 or a 2 star prospect, they are more likely to be going to a non-bcs school, and therefore easier to a lot greater than they are.

Yeah I trying to do this with Notre Dame...while trying to recruit 4 or 5 star players. I was thinking it was a bugged achievement because the best I could get was just over 150 :)

Yes, X2 day is the key to getting this achievement as you have a better chance if you see this near your player.

I don't believe so... I'm pretty sure when I got it, it was on the easiest setting for me

It is actually much easier to use a top ten team and recruit any Canadian player with a blue E as a top school. You will get him on the first one hour phone call.

Pick Ohio State.

Search recruits of all positions from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. Scroll down to the bottom of each and select 14 from Ohio, and 7 from the rest. Sim through to the regular season, and when you reach the screen of your next game, choose to recruit again. Go to your board and select the bottom recruit. Start making pitches with this one (6 topics),and choose the school that gives you the lowest rating compared to yours (such as championship contender. It should be a very high rating compared to theirs) If you get something comparable (like early playing time) select the option to get a new topic. You should get something better from this and keep doing what you've been doing.

If you don't get it with the first recruit move up to the next lowest and do the same thing. Using this method I took away over 300 points from Akron. (lolakron)

If you have any questions, or have something to add to this please feel free to PM me, or leave a comment.

I tried the other guide and found myself becoming frustrated trying to get a 1* on a X2 day to commit.

So the formula I used was Oklahoma which is a 6* team and recruited ONLY from my state. So that means Tulsa and OSU and a lot of UTEP because its close to the recruits. I picked five 1* players mostly Punters,Kickers, and Fullbacks and made sure their choices were the above mentioned schools. I found recruiting against UTEP to be the easiest as I had 250+ points with 4 out of 5 players.

See step 3 in the Road Map for the fastest way to obtain this trophy.

During your tenure at Oklahoma, select a two star prospect from Oklahoma that has their sights set on a 2* college. Set up a phone call for 60 minutes (6 questions). For each question, downplay their first choice. If you come across a question where the school you're downplaying is better than OU, change the subject or offer a scholarship or campus visit if the option is available. You should be able to take away well over 300 points.

During Dynasty mode, choose a six star school and add a two star or less recruit to your list. Spend the first two or three weeks finding out their interest. By this time, there should be a few two star schools trying to get the player. Select one of the players and use 60 minutes phone call. Select one of the school and downplay the school. If you choose a school with C and less ratings, you should have no problem getting it. I took over 500 points from a school during a phone call when I got the achievement.
