How to unlock the Welcome to the Club achievement in NCAA Football 13 - Definitive Guide
First, start Dynasty (coach contracts on) and create a coach. Make sure that you set up your alma mater as one of these three schools. (I chose Texas State, but your choice.) Pick that school. You'll pop this as you advance:
TURN AUTOSAVE OFF.
I usually set custom conferences. Move your team to the SEC West so you play top-ranked opponents. Add USC (#2) and Oregon (#4) to your schedule.
Go to the Team Management tab and select Edit Rosters. Make your QB and 2 WRs all 99s. Might want to do your HB as well. I also make a DT and a CB 99 too... INTs and sacks slow them down.
If you've played this before, you probably know the next part. Go to Dynasty Setup and change the house rules. Skill and Recruiting to Freshman. Injuries and Fatigue off. Player Min Speed Threshold to zero, so your fast players outrun theirs. (Your X receiver should always get well past the defender on any long bomb play.) I turned off Home Field and Ice effects.
RB, Offsides off, Holding off. RB, all User stats to 99, all CPU stats to zero except punting, so you can gain more yardage on a drive (which will help your stats).
Now sim through the season, game by game. If you want to sim in a game you can, that way you can intervene if necessary. Long pass plays will do wonders, especially with your X and B receivers at 99.
Make sure you save before the championship game. Thanks to Yellow Screams for reminding me that you have to play (and win) the BCS Championship Game. You can sim through as long as you make one play, but you have to go into the game and play it. If it doesn't pop for you, reload and replay the championship.
You should pop all of these at once:
You might even pop the Heisman.
If you work on your recruiting, you can also pop these at the same time:
This trophy isn't as hard as it sounds. Whichever team you decide to choose, I suggest editing the rosters.
If you want to save some time, search jmowen in the Roster Share menu and download my roster. I have maxed out the majority of the Texas State players.
Set the difficulty to Freshman to make things easier for you. What you want to do is sim game by game. When you win, save your dynasty. If you lose, back out and replay that week. At the end of the season, you need to be ranked 1st or 2nd in order to be invited to the national championship. Accomplish that, you will need to play, not sim, the championship game. For some reason, each time I simmed the championship game and won, the trophy did not unlock. When I played and won it, the trophy popped. You need to win the game for the trophy.
Start up a Dynasty with Texas State and create a custom schedule. Change the schedule to match the teams that I have selected to play against. You need to create matches against top ranked teams in order for you to get a chance to play in the BCS Championship.
1: Alabama
2: USC
3: Open
4: Michigan
5: LSU
6: Boise State
8: Open
12: Georgia
Now is the time to edit some of your players on your roster. Scroll over to the Team Management menu and go down to Edit Roster. Edit your QB, HB, 3 WRs, and your Center stats to increase their rating to 99.
Another definite way to win when simulating is by editing the other team's Quarterback. At the Edit Roster screen, press and hold and you can select other teams in the league. Find the team you play next and edit their QB's Awareness, Throw Power, and Throw Accuracy down to zero.
You MUST play and win the BSC game in order for the achievement to unlock. Simulating the game will not work. Although, you can start the game and use SUPERSIM to win the game. Just make sure you actually come out on top!
