SuperSim your way to achievement points

Running SuperSim will credit you for any Xbox 360 achievements gained in Madden 08 and NCAA Football 08. You don't even have to play a single down to get many of them.

I went into Play Now and set a game to 15 minute quarters. Immediately I turned on SuperSim to take me to the end of the game. I got 14 achievements for Madden and 4 for NCAA in my first attempt! That is 215 gamer points for Madden in those couple minutes while I had my back turned to the game! By setting up the SuperSim with different specifications (quarter length, difficulty level, teams used) you can grab many of the achievements this way.

Of course you won't get the satisfaction of earning them on your own this way, so it defeats the whole purpose of the achievement system. But if you have some burning desire to increase your gamescore this is an easy way to do so. It is unfortunate that EA didn't force people to actually play the game to earn the achievements.

Nothing against you pasta but I think people who do this kinda stuff have no life’s lol. I mean when you see some of these bogus achievements like 714 passing yds in 1 game. If I passed for that much I swear I would break my disc and never play the game again.

But I know some people are really into gaming points (why i dont know/understand) but hey the more power to them lol.

agreed with gamerpoints being useless… but i think pasta was just telling us this so that people who do care, know. Anyway I have a question about the game pasta, I have heard there is a problem with too many turnovers in this game, are there int and fumble sliders? And if you adjust them does it help this problem?

On another note is player morale still in the game? and in franchise mode is there an ESPN News, or radio, that is updated weekly?

Hi PastaPadre, thanks for your hard work and dedication that you put into your site.

I have a question about the franchise mode. Has the players’ progression been fixed this year? I wouldn’t want to buy the game if the owner mode is messed up this way. If the players’ ratings don’t improve or fluctuate as they should, it wouldn’t be worth my time. This was a prevalent problem in madden 07. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

Achievements can take the fun out of sports games. I try to not even look at them.

Achievements aren’t bad for developers though and gamers who want to get longevity out of their games. I know that after I played through a season with All Pro Football 2k8 I started looking to the achievements for things to do. Of course, Madden is so deep that you probably won’t be looking to specifically unlock many of the achievements (4 ints in a game, 250 rushing yards, etc.) since they’re so difficult to achieve if you’re actually playing the game like a simulation.
