NHL 12

Alright well this achievement is a grind but its not that much of one.i just got this achievement today in 143 games with an average of 19.98 points per game.There are a couple tips that will help you get this achievement alot faster.

Obviously dont play as a defenseman,but pick Centre instead. There will be many times when the face off is in the opponents end of the ice and you win the face off and hope that the Dman who gets it scores a goal giving you an assist.

adjust the sliders in your favor for everything that is available. This will obviously make your player stronger,faster and more accurate in everything he does. Also make sure to adjust how the opponents goalie is affected by screens from your teammates.

Turn off the penalties in the game so you dont have to worry about taking bad penalties or losing time when your team is on the PK or PP.

Turn off the offsides and icing so that you can pretty much be a goal suck and stay in the offensive zone all the time.

Last but not least focus on goals more then assists.i got just over 1000 points in my first 82 games with a balance of assists and goals but in the 61 games i played in my second season i ended up with 1500 goals and 300 by never passing unless there was no chance of me getting a goal.

The guide that's here already is good, but I thought I'd go more in depth on how to actually get the points easily in Be a Pro mode. You should be able to get drastically more points per game than 20. I play with 5 minute periods and average well over 50 pts a game. Actually just scored 81 goals against Columbus as I was typing this up.

First, you want to definitely be a center. With the exception of a faceoff on the left side of the offensive zone (I won those to my right D), I won every faceoff with a deke. You can do this easily with the sliders in your favor by just holding LB and up on the right analog stick until the puck is dropped. There is no need to time it correctly.

I found the easiest way to score was to just glide towards to goalie after winning the faceoff at center ice and to watch where the goalie was positioned. Based on the look the goalie would give me, I would deke to the side he left open and score 95% of the time. If he is far to the left or right, you can actually just shoot and score most of the time. Here is a video of what it usually looked like:

Also, keep in mind that the defense will never poke the puck away from you or hit you. You can skate right up the middle at the goalie with no problems. The only way you'll lose possession is if you fall from turning too quick. For this reason, I never called for passes that could be intercepted. I took the puck deep in my zone (the occasional times the other team got it) and took it all the way up ice.

If you already have the BAP achievements that correspond with PP and SH goals I would recommend turning off penalties since it slows down the game a bit, but it's not necessary by any means. I played with icing, offsides, and penalties all on.

Good luck and comment if you need any help.

Heres a friendly tip for those going for it:

Ea messed up. The points you get in NHL playoffs didn't count towards my actual progress. The true meter is not in the inital career proformance menu its actually the legend milestone #.

I had over 3000 points before it popped. You unlock the cheev when u unlock the video for 2858 points in a single career.

So only worry about regular season points!

For those of you who prefer a video tutorial to a text tutorial. I've made a video on how to score 70+ points a game. All info you need is in the video.

Enjoy!

Typical EA, giving us a ridiculous achievement to attempt to attain.

1. Adjust all sliders in your favor. Make your opponents zombies and make your team a god. Doing so will make your opponents not touch you or even go for the puck if you are just sitting there facing the boards not doing anything. An important tip other than the obvious ones like shooting accuracy and power, is to set your shot aim to auto. With manual you will actually have to aim your shots at the open parts of the net, while auto will do it for you without even thinking about it.

2. Goals and assists add to your point total. Focus mainly on goals because as the human player you have a better chance of scoring than your computer teammates.

3. ONLY regular season games count. No preseason points nor will playoff points add to your total.

4. Now for the math in this one...
I would aim for about 60 points per game, or 1 point per in game minute.
Actual game time will increase significantly, since you'll be scoring so much.
Assume about 30-45 real time minutes for each game.
2858 (points needed) / 60 (points per game) = 47.633 ~~ 48 games.
48 (# of games played) X 45 (approx. max time for a single game) =
2160 minutes. 2160 / 60 = 36 hours.
