NBA LIVE 06


Tactics


This game is real easy for achievements as you can simulate seasons to pick up over 700 points.  As when you actually have to play a game, just alter some stats so the game goes in your favor.



Online Win                                                                                  40 G


This user has won a game against an online opponent.


This will never happen. Not because you suck, but because EA shut down the servers for NBA Live 06 indefinitely.


NBA Live Created Player                                                          20 G


This user has created a player in NBA Live 06.


When you are in the practice menu, where a dude is just standing bouncing near the hoop, press Start and then go to the menu. Choose Create A Player. Once you have customized a player, the achievement will unlock.


All-Star                                                                                        75 G


In Season Mode, a player on the user team has made the NBA All-Star team.


The easiest way to achieve this is to simulate a season. Pick a good team like the LA Lakers or San Antonio Spurs. You can pick any other team, but these two are almost guaranteed to get it.


To simulate a season

  1. From the menu, go to Season Mode

  2. Pick your team

  3. Turn off trade deadlines and CPU trades. This will ensure your top players stay in the team.

  4. Set the game length to 4 mins.

  5. When you see a calendar, press the LT and this will take you to the last month of the season.

  6. Scroll down until you find the last GAME of the season and press A to select.

  7. Choose “ Simulate this game and all others up to it”

  8. Now the season should start simming. It takes about 5 mins to simulate a season.


Be a little patient. Not every season you simulate will pop an achievement. I simulated about ten to pick up six achievements. If you are not getting any at all for a while, change teams. Always start a new season every time so your players don’t get old.



Clinched Playoffs                                                                   100 G


In Season Mode, a player from this user’s team has made the playoffs.


Simulate a season with either the LA Lakers or San Antonio Spurs, and you will eventually get this. See “All-Star” achievement above.


Most Valuable Player                                                              150 G


In Season Mode, a player from this user’s team has won the Most Valuable Player award.


Simulate a season with either the LA Lakers or San Antonio Spurs, and you will eventually get this. I managed to get it with Kobe of the LA Lakers. See “All-Star” achievement.


Best Regular Season                                                              150 G


In Season Mode, this user’s team had the best record at the end of the regular season.


Simulate a season with either the LA Lakers or San Antonio Spurs, and you will eventually get this. See “All-Star” achievement.


Coach of the Year                                                                   100 G


In Season Mode, the coach of the user team has won Coach of the Year award.


Simulate a season with either the LA Lakers or San Antonio Spurs, and you will eventually get this. See “All-Star” achievement.


NBA Champions                                                                      200 G


In Season Mode,  this user has won the NBA Championship.


Simulate a season with either the LA Lakers or San Antonio Spurs, and you will eventually get this. Some found this a little tricky. If it is not happening after a few seasons, try playing the playoffs manually. I personally got this after simming one season with the Spurs. See “All-Star” achievement.


Rookie Difficulty Win                                                               10 G


This user has beaten a CPU opponent in a game set on Rookie difficulty.


Shock, horror! Now you have actually play some games. Make sure you pick an awesome team and play against a very low-rated team. Western All Stars vs Toronto Raptors will do nicely.


Go into Edit Player mode and change all the players stats on your team to 99. Make sure you lower the stats for the Raptors so they become absolutely lousy. This takes a bit of time to do, but you will save yourself a lot of frustration trying to beat a team on the Superstar difficulty later on.


From the opening menu, set the setting to 2 minute quarters and set the Foul sliders down to zero. When you enter the game, hit pause and turn off the shot clock. This will give you plenty of time to shoot.


Now with all the sliders set in your favor, winning on Rookie and Starter should almost be a walk in the park.


Starter Difficulty Win                                                                30 G


This user has beaten a CPU opponent in a game set on Starter difficulty.


See “Rookie Difficulty Win” achievement above.


All-Star Difficulty Win                                                               50 G


This user has beaten a CPU opponent in a game set on All-Star difficulty.


OK, this is when things start to get a little tricky. The AI is atrocious I felt, in that to increase the difficulty, they just made YOUR players start to play badly. Even with your stats up to 99, they still miss a few basic three-pointers. God knows what they would be like if the stats were normal!


This is my strategy stroke cheat. Win the tip off straight away. The AI is slightly confused when it loses the tip off. This is not imperative , but it helps. Then try to score as much as you can. You need to be at least 10-15 points ahead. Once you are ahead, hold on to the ball at the wrong end of the court, until the clock runs down.


For the next two quarters, steal the ball back whenever they have possession and then hold onto the ball at the wrong end of the court until the clock runs out. Make sure they do not score or you will need to score again. You must be at least 10 points ahead. 7 or 3 points ahead will be cutting it too fine.


In the final quarter, with 30 secs left on the clock (if you are still 10 points ahead) the AI will kick in and try to foul you and steal the ball back. Even if you are at the wrong side of the court. They will follow you! This is why you need 10 points ahead, because if they do steal it off you, without a doubt, they WILL score. The Raptors suddenly will find skill.


Next they will intentionally foul you. The second time they do, you will get a free throw. Now I really suck at free throws, so I had no chance of increasing my score. But if you are any good, then your in luck. Once you thrown your free throws, the Raptors will rebound and call time out. They will start with the ball and WILL score if you don’t steal it. See, this is why you need 10 points clear. If you do steal the ball, just pass it to one another, until the clock runs down. You could try to score, but you could miss and the Raptors with their sliders down, WILL score off the rebound! Yeah, go figure that out.


Superstar Difficulty Win                                                           75 G


This user has beaten a CPU opponent in a game set on Superstar difficulty.


See “All-Star Difficulty Win” achievement above.
