How to unlock the Best Ever achievement in NFL Head Coach 09 - Definitive Guide

Winning 2 super bowls in the first two seasons is pretty easy. use any good team ie Patriots, Colts, Giants. Just sim through to the playoffs and then sim game by game until you eventually win your first two super bowls. Make sure you re-sign players you might need, I just re-sign any of my players who's contracts are expiring and have a rating of over 70 (do this for every season).

At the end of the 2nd season right after pro-bowl week (I think it was free agency but im not 100% sure), start bidding for as many players as you can (this is useful since their ratings are usually 85+). Check your roster depth and remove some players you don't think you need if you need a bit more cap space. ie. remove 1 wr if you have 4 even if the game suggests that you have 4 just in case.

Now just sim to the playoffs. I used the Colts and re-signed most of my players. In the free agent bidding session, I picked up Braylon Edwards (91 overall), Jason Witten (91 overall), and a two of 90+ defensive guys. I ended up with a 10-6 record.

At this point, you just sim until you win the super bowl, which took me less then 5 minutes since my team didn't completely suck like my other teams in the 3rd season.

Enjoy the 250 gamerpoints :)

Wrong info in the achievement describtion! It unlocked after I had won 3 super bowls with 3 different teams using my created coach. Annoying since I wanted to preload this one.

Absolutely no disrespect to DavidRiispawn, who wrote an excellent guide and actually helped me get the achievement. I'm simply writing an alternative way to get the achievement, and the way I got it in the end. If you're like me, you probably don't understand a lot of the game and don't want to spend time learning about it. This guide will help you if you're like that.

So first, you're going to need to start a new career, obviously. Pick one of the easy teams/coaches as your favorite; I chose the Colts for my playthrough, but the Patriots are really good too.

Once you start the game, pause, go to Settings and then Game AI. Change "User" settings all the way up to 100, and then change the filter to "CPU" and set all of the sliders to 0.

Next, you're going to Sim through all the way to "Regular Season". Once you're there, pause again and save the game. THIS IS VITAL. Sim to "Next Game", and then save. You need to get into the habit of saving before every single game. It's time consuming, but works in the end. So, if you win a game just sim to the "Next Game", and so on and so forth. If you don't win, you can easily quit to the main menu and "Resume Career", starting you back before the match. If you keep having trouble with the same team, quit to the main menu and go to "My Coach", then "Rosters", then "Player Management". Once there, change the filter to the team you're having trouble with, and go through each filter, starting at QB and ending at P. "Release" every player you can, from the highest "Overall" rating down. Then simply save the roster edit and go back to career. NOTE: When editing a team, sometimes it won't let you release players from a certain category. That's ok, just move on to the next category. After editing a team, I beat them every single time, so you shouldn't need to edit them again until the next season when they pick up new players.

After editing that team, you should have no trouble beating them. Follow this method of: Saving before every match, simming every game, and editing every team that gives you trouble; for the entire time you play the game. This will ensure almost all of the achievements, including getting all of the high ratings, going through a season undefeated, winning your first Superbowl, winning back to back Superbowl's, and winning three Superbowl's with the same team. Otherwise, you should be able to sim through everything and get almost all of the achievements.

Just using this method, I've gained:
"Man of the People" (10G)
"Mr Popularity" (10G)
"Media Darling" (10G)
"Teachers Pet" (10G)
"We Like You" (25G)
"We Love You" (50G)
"One for the Mantle" (50G)
"One Big Happy Family" (10G)
"We Idolize You" (75G)
"You Arrived" (30G)
"Best of All Time" (100G)
"Gold Miner" (10G)
"A Cut Above" (20G)
"Repeat Offender" (100G)
"Best Ever" (250G)

I hope this guide helped, and if you have any questions leave a comment. If I don't respond to your question, PM me because I might not have seen it. Otherwise, enjoy at least 660G. :)

I don't think editing teams has any effect at all only affects play now not career mode.

Now the 3rd season is when it gets hard to win games by simming, make sure you re-sign key players. Also, sign some key Free Agents and try and trade to get better players.

Just make sure win enough games to where you make the playoffs( 10 or more wins would pretty much guarantee you a playoff spot.) You will either play 3 or 4 playoff games(depending on how many games you win in the Regular Season and your seed in the Playoffs.) Just sim or play and make sure you win the playoff games. Once to the Super Bowl game, also either play it or sim it. Once you win the Super Bowl game, the achievement will unlock.

Note: If you find yourself unable to sim and win games during this third season, check your Depth Chart under the Rosters tab. Check each position (hold the right trigger to change positions) and see if the correct type of player is playing each position. Chances are, your team did not sign enough players to fill every position. When I was going for it, I had none of the following positions: FB, RG, LT, LOLB, P. Your team will clearly suck if you have other positions filling in for each other. Figure out what you're missing and then go into the Free Agents selection under the Rosters tab. Just grab the best one available at each position. This will improve your team immensely, and the players are pretty cheap (600k-2m tops).
