How to unlock the Mr. Money in the Bank achievement in WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2011 - Definitive Guide
First of all disable autosave and second, make sure your created superstar is 100 in stats.
Simulate your matches until you get to WrestleMania. If your superstar isn't in the match, go to my WWE and start changing the superstars who are to free agents. In the end the superstars in the MITB match for me were my created superstar, JTG, David Hart Smith, Cody Rhodes, Shad Gaspard and Luke Gallows. They're obviously all low stat superstars and I had them all assigned to SmackDown. Make a save now.
Select the match and make sure you assign 1P to your created superstar and the rest as COM. This is very important to do because if you don't the game won't register that "you" did this. Simulate the match and you should win. If not reload your save and try again. If you've won the match go ahead and save and the achievement will pop.
After that you select a championship match and it will ask you if you want to cash in. The match will automatically start and all you have to do is win to get:
Unfortunately you will have to play this one but 1v1 is definitely a lot easier. You will once again have to save before the achievement will unlock.
The easiest way to win is to grab a ladder and keep on beating down everyone. Do not worry about if every time you try and pull it down someone pushes you off since its random when you will pull it down.
After you win the match the achievement will unlock. You will not get the briefcase after the match since you replaced one of the contenders. The contender you replaced will get the briefcase but even if you cash in the money in the bank as another superstar you will still unlock the achievement for using the briefcase and winning.
- I agree with both prior guides that you can pop this achievement by using your created character.
- You can inject yourself into the money in the bank match for the achievement to pop.
- In my case, I was already WWE champion. I tried cashing in for the World Heavyweight championship and it wouldn't allow me the opportunity. In this case, logic says you can always drop this title right before Wrestlemania and then cash in for the other achievement.
1) If you replace a superstar with your CAS at WrestleMania and win, its still possible to get both achievements.
2) Even if your CAS is WWE/World Heavyweight Champion, you can still take part in the MITB match, AND cash it in. (My CAS was WWE champion, United States Champion, Tag Team Champion, Hardcore Champion, and it didn't matter). However, if your CAS is scheduled for a match, you won't get an automatic place in the MITB match.
3) Its completely unnecessary to add superstars to 'Free Agents' to try and get your CAS an automatic place in the MITB match.
4) The superstar your CAS replaces should be one that is good, i.e. not Zack Ryder. This will be the superstar you'll control to cash it in. (see my 'A Successful Cash In' solution)
5) Make sure you don't sim any other matches at WrestleMania before you do the MITB match, or you'll have to sim the entire year and - to my knowledge - do the MITB match again. I'm sure most people probably aren't that stupid, but thats what i ended up doing :L.
The easiest way i found to win the match is pick up a ladder, click the right stick, and start spinning. Not sure if you're supposed to get fatigued (i have the stamina system off) but it works a treat. Keep plowing away though, and you'll win pretty easily. Once you're back at the match selection and it saves, you'll get your cheevo.
If you don't know how to play them properly, ladder matches can be impossibly hard, especially the Money in the Bank Ladder Match but you have to qualify for the match in the first place and there are a couple of ways you can do this:
1. Lower the number of Superstars on each brand by 10 so you have a better chance of being selected for the match. Do not remove any more than that or the Money in the Bank Ladder Match may not even take place. You could copy your CAW ten times to replace these superstars which will increase the probability of qualifying.
2. Simulate all matches for a few years and see if you get into the match by luck - You can press while in WWE Universe and it will take you to the schedule.
Once you are in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the key is to not get involved in too much action, as your energy will decrease rapidly. A useful tip I have is to take all apart from one ladder up the ramp and leave them there at the beginning of the match. This way it is easier to get out of the way of swinging ladders and reduces the amount of chaos going on in the ring.
- If another superstar goes to retrieve one of those ladders don't stop him, just allow it to continue as he will be out of the match for a good amount of time.
- If you can get hold of the sole ladder in the ring, use it to hit opponents as you can knock them down many at a time. This causes a lot of damage so they will be down for a long time but don't get hit yourself.
- Spend a lot of time outside the ring and choose the right times to try and clear the ring and collect the briefcase.
- It is random for when the briefcase comes down so don't give your opponents too much time at the top of the ladder.
The match could take up to half an hour or even more but be patient and don't get stressed or you could end up losing.
