You now have a 91 rated HB, a 90 rated WR, and your OLBs are now 81 each. The first thing you want to do is go to your Team Philosophy, and change your positions to these settings:Īll OL: Size/Strength/Mauler* (*Engulfer for Tackle) This will unlock Playbook Training, but you can't afford that yet, so keep the 7,900 points you have left and continue into the off-season. Also, buy Off Season Seminar and Regular Season Seminar, which decreases the rate at which player's knowledge degrades. Then, buy Speed Training and Strength Training to unlock Disciplined Routine, which will increase the players' Learning Stat. Do whichever style you want, but when you get to your skills, first get Ambition, a 20,000 point skill that decreases the points needed for other Special Skills by 15%. Start a career as the head coach as the Saints. You need to see alot of events you won't see if you sim forward. No pick = no bust.īefore you start, just remember to NEVER SIM unless it's a game. If you can't avoid drafting a bust, trade BOTH your first and second round picks away. Save to different files, so you can go back if you screwed up (this is especially useful when trying to get #1 offense or MVP with a player, just in case of injury) Save after you complete every chunk of goals (all off-season, draft, pre-season). Another popular pick is Andre Woodson, but I've never had Xavier Omen rated less than 86, so that's my preference. Draft Xavier Omen (HB) in the 5th round or so.

This will help them learn the plays in less time. Albert Haynesworth, Lance Briggs, and any ex-Patriot player are perfect. Whichever your positional goals are in the offseason, stick with the position that has 2/3 goals (for example, the Saints will have TE on offense, and the two OLB positions if you keep the default philosophies, so grab a few more defensive players to ensure all of your learning goals will be players on one side of the ball, so you can focus on just defensive learning)

Overload on one side of the ball in free agency. Pick skills that will increase learning to all players, not just specific to one position (special skils) or have a team with coaches already set with that Save a lot in multiple slots, and go back to earlier saves if it doesn't seem to be working.

It was a little harder to win games w/o Colsten but it can be done. I had to reload the pre-season goal save a few times, but I was able to get the goals w/o signing a coach so it can be done. Dude is expensive!! When doing this make sure you don't get "Hire a college coach" as a goal. I also cut Colsten prior to preseason, since resigning him was always a goal and I never could.

You may have to play around with it, really Omen is the only one you will rely on since he is almost a guaranteed 85+. In the 3rd round I traded some 2009 draft picks in order to get an additional pick and Woodson, then in the 4th I traded the remainder of my 2009 picks in other to make sure I got Robinson and Omen in the 5th. Also I was having a problem getting Kevin Robinson, Xavier Omen and Andre Woodson all in the draft. Instead I signed another 90+ rated CB in free agency. I could never sign Albert Haynesworth and Lance Briggs together. I followed the guide line by line, with a few exceptions. This is by far the hardest achievement in the game.
