      Search for "Player Lock".
      Not found.

      These are fairly easy. This one stands out: "Hometown Hero (50 points) - Lead your alma mater to a National Championship as a head coach in Dynasty (Coach Contracts on)." I'd love to, but if it is like last year, my Alma Mater probably won't hire me. I guess some on-campus misdeeds can never be forgiven. hahaha I am looking forward to doing the Tire Fire one though. I usually set up little non-trophy/achievement challenges like that for myself.

      Ugh! I unlocked the Tire Fire trophy by accident in '12. My offense was HORRIBLE the game (playing as a DC in Dynasty). If I never unlock that, I'll be happy.

      I'm not going to unlock any of those Heisman trophies either.

      Looks like a fairly reasonable Plat. I'll use my Season Ticket to hopefully get most/all of the Road to Glory/Heisman stuff and then probably focus on my Coaching Career for the rest.

      Instead of some of these "achievements" why did they take out the ones that matter??? I remember back in the day when you were recognized for completing 15 passes in a row and then it went up from there... been so long I can't remember exactly, but last year I finished one game hitting 22 straight and then started the next game 13 of 13... that's 35 straight completions - on Heisman no less - and not one mention of it. I'm pretty certain that would be an NCAA record too, and I didn't even get a lollipop from Lee Corso...

      i agree. there need to be more performance based acheivements. a lot of the ones listed above are way too easy to get.

      Eh, basically all the same. I'll probably knock most of these out while I wait for edited rosters .

      Go look at achievements for every game in the last 3 years. Achievements these days are rarely hard. They're now another marketing tool to get people to buy the game ("hey kid! you could get a quick and easy 1000 gamerscore/platinum trophy if you buy this game!").

      Winning a national championship with Texas State/UTSA/UMass will be the only challenge that isn't based on randomness or luck (like intercepting a pass while using Reaction Time).

      Sigh, I hadn't noticed that one the first time. Hopefully they've fixed it where the CPU will actually throw towards an RTG defender ...

      Yeah, it seems to be a cross between "Play the new feature!" and "Here's something you should get normally". Very few are actual on-field performance.

      ya, but the case can also be made that by making achievements harder to get, the game developers will get more replay value out of it by their customers.

      what's gonna get more replay value? an achievement like "break off a 20 yard run" or "throw at least 4 touchdown passes in less than 10 pass attempts".

      there are so many little achievements they could grant like that, that i think it'd bring a lot more to the game for the achievement whores.

      They couldn't care less about replay value (ok, this is probably a lie), they've already got your money.

      They're all easy but all those Heisman ones seem time consuming. Ew.

      The problem for sports games, achievement wise, is there's no story to progress through. If you look at games like inFamous, Heavy Rain, Ratchet & Clank, Mass Effect, etc, the trophies boil down to, effectively, four things: Beat the game on X difficulty, Get X collectibles, Get to X in the story, Get X ending.

      I am of the personal opinion that no trophy should be something that you can't get in normal gameplay. Now, I don't mean normal difficulty, but I mean that I shouldn't have to go out of my way to setup a scenario just to get something to happen. The old "Player Lock" trophy was a perfect example of what I hate ... you had to setup a situation where the CPU would throw an interception to the player you happened to be controlling. That is a very rare circumstance that relies almost essentially on luck. I can't think of any trophy (except one in Heavy Rain) in the other games I mentioned above that I have to setup in order to get.

      The other problem that sports games have is the annual cycle. Mass Effect 3 appears to share a lot of trophies with Mass Effect 2. That bothers me, but only because I just completed Mass Effect 2 a few months ago. I'd like to see them be more unique. NCAA's trophies are going to struggle to be unique unless they are dependent on the new feature set (like the Heisman Challenge trophies this year). And then they lack originality because you have 10 trophies that are the same, effectively. (Interesting to note that none of the Heisman Challenge trophies rely on the Demo unlocks or Gamestop pre-order. That was smart.)

      If you look at the trophies for NHL 12, FIFA 12, and NCAA 12/13, all are heavily dependent on features. That sucks, if you're not a fan of that feature. I personally love Be A Pro, so I enjoy the NHL trophies being heavy on Be A Pro. I'd expect this year they'll be very heavy on GM Connected. But Madden 12, IMO, has the best set of any EA sports game (NBA 2k12's is pretty nice too). Madden is awesome because you're trying to beat performances by real NFL players. That gives replayability while not forcing you to play a specific mode or type of game.

      And an effective one at that. Look at how many people played NCIS, Hannah Montana, and that one Terminator game

      Exactly! What grown man would play (or even buy) the Hannah Montana game if it didn't have incredibly easy achievements for a quick 1000G/platinum?

      My question is, what grown man would play that shit even if they got a fake/virtual trophy/award? How is your life that empty?

      I don't buy or play games for trophies/achievements(except for Terminator Salvation, but that was 4 years ago and I actually had interest in the game at that time...I don't know why), but rest assured, I will go for them if I enjoy the game. If not, fuck 'em.

      I don't think that if someone is that way it means they don't have a life, though. I rarely ever specifically go achievement whoring, and even without doing so, I've racked up a pretty high trophy/achievement count, so I'd imagine those who specifically look for it can plow through them pretty damn quick. That dude who has over 700,000GS, though, God help him.
