How to unlock the Beating tough competition achievement in NHL 08 - Definitive Guide

EDIT: The servers are shut down as of February 8th, 2011. This is now UNOBTAINABLE.


Getting this done now is a must for completion. Please read the thread in the link below. It would seem the thread in the link below has changed. Now the guy with the top 50 account appears to be trading for help with other achievements from what I can tell. Thanks for the comment pointing this out.


This is a link to an x360a thread how I got the achievement. It requires you to ladder a dummy account up to 3,500 points. These points then help to maintain the top 50 account which gets you the win. This is the most realistic way of getting this achievement now, assuming the account is still top 50 (it was in the 40's I think when I got the win). Hope this helps.

This is another ludicrous achievement thanks to EA Sports. Unless you owned this game right off the bat, or you are amazing at life, you will struggle with this achievement. The only way to get this is to beat an opponent ranked in the Top 50 on the EA NHL 08 leaderboards. You can invite someone to play a ranked game by selecting their name from the leaderboards and sending an invite. If you are lucky enough to find someone in the Top 50, see if they would be willing to throw a game to help you out. Other than that, this may be another lost achievement as most people will be unwilling to give up their Top 50 status.

EDIT: All achievements can be done with a second controller and with sliders and rules adjustments.

Note: This is now un-obtainable since the server for this game have been closed.
