How to unlock the Monster Squad achievement in NFL Blitz - Definitive Guide

This will likely be one of the last offline achievements you will earn. To earn this achievement, you will need to unlock all 12 fantasy characters. You can unlock them by defeating them in boss battles in Blitz Gauntlet. Purchasing them from the Blitz Store will not unlock the achievement.

Each Blitz Gauntlet consists of 12 games, 3 of which are boss battles. Therefore, to unlock all 12 characters, you will need to complete the Blitz Gauntlet 4 times for a total of 48 games. Thankfully, each Gauntlet can be played on easy difficulty, and you do not have to worry about facing the same boss more than once.

Each game takes about 20 minutes, so it will take about 16 hours to complete this achievement. It would be smart to go for the rest of the offline achievements while going through the Gauntlets.

I wonder why this achievement is marked as online required as it seems reading your solution that this is an offline achievement.

I keep choosing Split Backs and then just pass the ball to one. Also go to the settings and change to easy difficulty when you start the game and in the options also change so there is no timer when choosing strategy so you have more time if you want to go for something else. Also have the option ON that let you see who you pass depending on what button you use.

So im on my last gauntlet. I am playing the cowboy for a second time, the last two I need are boss 2 and 3. I tried restarting a new gauntlet a few times, and I kept getting a boss I previously beat for the first boss. So you will play a boss a second time. I figured they would have made it 4-5 games then a boss. Nope they want you to do all the games one last time.

Mattias- I made the mistake of wasting blitz bucks and buying them from the store. That does not count. You have to play the offline blitz gauntlet.

To unlock this achievement you need to select "Blitz Gauntlet" from the main menu and complete each of the boss battles. This will take multiple tries since you only have three bosses per gauntlet.

If you want to get a specific character you can re-start the gauntlet until the character(s) you want appear.

Yup, it's going to take a lot of blitz bucks. I went for player card achievements first otherwise I'd have this one.

I have this achievement and can confirm that you DO NOT need to buy them. Just play through the gauntlet four times on easy to unlock all 12 characters.

That seems to check out. I looked back and all of the ones I unlocked look like they were purchased. I wonder if you can bypass the gauntlet altogether if you had the money?

I'm assuming you can, although considering how many things you have to buy, it seems like it would be better to save your blitz bucks and just do the gauntlet.

Agreed. I've updated the solution to reflect this new information.

my buddy had some purchased and some unlocked through the gauntlet and he said he didnt get the achievement. So maybe this means you must unlock them all through gauntlet?

I bought them all before going into the gauntlet. You will not get the achievement if you just buy them.

If you unlock them in the Gauntlet, you do NOT have to purchase them. Just to clarify any confusion. Don`t waste your Bucks buying them.

I want to highlight the fact that this achievement is not an online achievement! You can buy the fantasy characters from the store but that won´t unlock the achievement. You need to play blitz gauntlet for this achievement.

Beat all the teams and then the three bosses each time. Each boss is a fantasy character and when you beat them you unlock them.

You need to do a minimum of 4 gauntlet beating a total of 12 bosses to get this achievement.

1. Go to help and options in the main menu of the game before starting the blitz leauge! Go to settings there! Then gameplay settings and change difficulty to easy to make this bearable. I would also turn OFF the NFL blitz tips since they are just annoying while playing. I would also turn OFF the play select timer so you don´t have to stress when choosing what strategy to use when you play. I would turn ON the icon passing since it really helps when you want to throw a pass to the players knowing who you will throw the ball to. After editing your settings leave that page with the cn_B to save and exit.

Now go to Blitz Gauntlet!

Make sure to choose continue and NOT new if you did not finish the last one you did the last time you played the game.

When you start a match there are cheat codes! I never bothered unless I went for the other achievements using a ninja etc. Just wait and the match will start.

When running press cn_RT to run faster.

I ALWAYS went with SPLIT BACKS when attacking. It was easy to pass the ball using this and gain a lot of yards. I made sure not to hold the ball for too long and moved sideways to the right most of the time. Then I threw the ball to either the cn_Y player or the cn_B player. cn_Y Most of the time!

I tried to pass when they did not have another player too close but many times they still have that and you can´t wait too long but most of the time the pass was good.

On defence I just picked DEEP ZONE most of the times but the other ones might be better. I kept pressing RT and then pressed cn_A quickly followed by cn_X to jump and tackle the players and many times they fumbled the ball or I where able to stop their attacks.

I hope TA change the online requirement for this achievement since you have to do this in no online mode in blitz gauntlet to get the achievement. With the servers shutting down it is just confusing to most people.

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE
 
Fantasy Characters can be unlocked in two ways. You can beat them in the Blitz Gauntlet or purchase them from the Blitz Store for 20,000 Blitz Bucks. There are 12 of them so I don't recommend the latter, since those Blitz Bucks would be put to better use elsewhere.
 
The Blitz Gauntlet is composed of 12 games. 3 Fantasy Character "Boss Battles", each separated by 3 regular games. This counts as one Gauntlet, so in order to unlock all 12, you will need to do a total of 4 Gauntlets, for a total of 48 games. This will take a fair amount of time, since games tend to last about 20-30 minutes. The difficulty setting on the Gauntlet doesn't matter. Whether you choose Easy, Hard, or anything else, you will still unlock the Fantasy Characters.
