How to unlock the Unlucky for Some achievement in NHL 12 - Definitive Guide

It took me forever to get this achievement because I was never allowed to play on the PK unit. After much research I found the quickest way to make it happen.

Start a new Be a Pro character and season. Make your new player a two-way forward and center for the Montreal Canadians. In this setup they will start you on PK unit one from day one.

Make sure you have it on Pro difficulty to be eligible for the achievement, but you can go through the rules and gameplay settings and put all of your sliders in your favor and all of the computers sliders against them. Especially make sure to put the penalties slider all the way up and your AI players aggression all the way up.

Start your season and enjoy. I would start each game by simming (slowly) until the opposing team started a power play, then jumping in to play from that point on. It took me about 30 games into the season to get my 14 shorty's. Maybe you can do it faster?!

This is not a good strategy. If you are at home with Montreal Canadiens you will never go on the PK, since the refs are biased. *tee hee*

This achievement is not as simple as it seems. I was never put on my team's PK so instead I began to take penalties.

If you aren't on the PK and don't want to restart your player and change the gameplay to "Classic then follow these steps:

First off turn the sliders in your favour:shooting,high frequency of penalties... Once I was on the ice I would try to take as many penalites as possible. Sim til your next shift and you MIGHT come out of the box while on the PK.Now just try to score.

Keep on taking penalites. You should get 2 or 3 opportunites a game to score.

You NEED to be on the Penalty Kill line. Your team is down one man against the opposing team for at most 2 minutes. Your AI teammates will usually try to clear the puck into your opponents side of the ice, but if you press quick enough, then your AI teammates will pass you the puck. Now, all you NEED to do is score, and if you have the game settings in your favor as suggested in the road map, then scoring will be no problem. Trophy unlocks after the 14th short handed goal is scored.

Credit to Stephleref for the idea of using Classic settings for a NEW BAP and simulating/intervening in games to get shorthanded goals.

You can also create a NEW BAP just for this trophy, but change the BAP settings to CLASSIC and time limit to 20 minute periods. Have your BAP be a RW sniper and select a team like the Montreal Canadians. Adjust the sliders in your favor as suggested in the roadmap and play the first preseason game. Score at least 4 goals and quit the game. Simulate the rest of the preseason. You will get told by the GM you have made the 3rd line. Before the first game view the NHL lines for your team. Scroll with to Penalty Kill (PK) lines, and see if you have made the Penalty Kill line (about 50% of the time you will land on the PK line). DO NOT play any games, instead SIM each game, and press to intervene when your team is on a PK. Score a shorthanded goal and quit. Rinse and repeat 13 more times, and the trophy will unlock right after your 14 shorthanded goal.
