NHL 24

Can't guarantee this will work for everyone but it did the trick for me. If enough say it doesn't work i'll take this down.

Tried using the NHL23 method of using the weakest team and it just would. not. unlock. Tried 15 times and it failed every time but I noticed something along the way; The Red wings coach almost always won it irrespective of where they finished. Whether it's something in 'the organisation' that the game feels is deprived I don't know but here's what I did.

Start by creating a new Franchise > change the league format to 6 teams and ROUND ROBIN. This means each team only plays 5 games. I also changed the playoff format to 1 game as well. I also set it to CPU deals with all management and turned salary cap off although i don't think this makes any difference.

Turn off auto save and you can even save during if you'd like to not go through the setup again in case of failure.

I chose Detroit and simmed to June 1st. Your team should make the playoffs (4 out of 6 qualify) and the achievement unlocks before the sim finishes.

If you finish dead last it may not unlock and you may need to try again but this is what worked for me first time after 15 times of trying the 'old' method.
