How to unlock the EASHL Playoffs Champ achievement in NHL 11 - Definitive Guide

First things first, the description is misleading. Where it says "Be a member of" should be "Play with".

A brief explanation of how the EASHL works.

You have a team, with other players (at least two) and you play Team Play games with your character either a skater or a goalie dependant on what position you pick. So you win some, lose some, overtime some, get disconnected from some ecetera and you win or lose points depending on how well you do.
The EASHL works as monthly seasons. From the first of the month to near the end, you will play regular season games, which score you points. On the last three days the off-season occurs, during which you can play playoff games. Any regular season games played in this period will not count to the next season but will count to your teams overall record.
There are three divisions which you don't get to choose this time around (compared to NHL 10): the Amateur division, Pro division and Elite division (from lowest to highest). As you win games you gain more points and your ranking goes higher. If you gain enough points you can be promoted up a league and if you lose enough you can be relegated down a league.
Regardless of where you finish, you will be entered into the playoffs (I have yet to see a team that hasn't been put in the playoffs, unless they have not won a game in that season). To play a playoff game, go to your EASHL team page and select "Playoffs". It will look like as if you are entering a normal game, but in the top left of the screen you should see now that the Game Type has changed from Regular, to Playoffs. Also when you get in a game there should me paint on the ice marking that this is a playoff game such as "Elite League Playoffs".
To win the trophy you need to win four playoff games in a row, but to win this achievement you will need to only win one. But remember the other team are also going for this achievement as well, it's not going to be easy! If you win it should pop at the end of the game when you see your grades. If you lose...well better luck next month!
Regardless, if you play out the game you should get this:

Notes:
I am not sure if the opponent disconnects if you still get the achievement or even the win.
This is online ONLY, you must be logged in to Xbox Live and the EA Servers. Anybody who has this offline is possibly cheating.
You can only get this on the last three days of every month.

So you only have one shot at winning the playoff game @the end of the month? Or if you lose a game, can you try again right away & keep playing playoff games until you win one?

Disconnects do not work if you are wondering. It will give you the win but not the achievement.

This is not a nice way of doing this. You will need a friend and play in last three days of the month.

I did this with my brother yesterday with randomly joining a public club, which has at least one match played. If you found one and playoff is still open, tell your friend to join it too. And bam, you can play. The worst part is, you still need to win the match. But you have a lot of opportunities, if you lose, search for another club and do the same thing. Or you can easily boost this with 4-12 people. :D

Its bad for these people in the club, but its their fault, because its a public team.

another easy but mean way is to have 4 people and 2 each join a public club. search at the same time because if you challenge each other it makes it a regular season game, not a playoff game. 1 team drops their game to the other. losing team finds another public team. and 1st team drops to second team. just look for public teams with very few members. i found 2 teams with less than 2 people on them.

The playoffs start during the last week of each month. In order to qualify for the playoffs, all you have to do is play at least 1 game during the regular season (beginning of the month) with your club and you are automatically in. The next step is to play and actually win a playoff game. You have to be in the game when the team wins in order to get the achievement. Losing a game takes your team out of the playoffs until the next month. But the way around this is to quit your club, and then search for a "Public Only" club so you and a friend can just join in and play in their playoffs. Then just keep doing this until you eventually get a win (or run out of teams).

1.Create an EASHL club

2. A minimum of 2 team members are required to play.

3. At the end of the month, the Playoff series begins, you will become aware of this as soon as you go to the club menu. There will be a message about how many days are left until the end of the playoffs.

4.Enter Playoff mode and start the game. For convenience, you can change the parameters for selecting an opponent: you can make it so that the same number of people play on the enemy team, this makes the game process easier because With two players against five players, your chances of winning are greatly reduced.

5.You will receive the trophy immediately after the first victory, I did not play until the final. First game - victory - trophy.

usually three or four days before the end of the month the pl.of begins. in this mode. We enter the grid where the square is and play these games. In my opinion, it is enough to reach the final and there will be a trophy. At least before the final you need to win three games in a row.
