Unless ofcourse reaching level 50 is as long as Forza 2 and the Epic badges are as hard as PGR Platinum medals.

Good point, though as this is EA were talking about, they'll probably more time consuming than difficult.

Ashes Cricket 2009 and Madden 2009 have both come in the shop on the same day, gonna have a busy sports weekend adding 2000G to my score!

EDIT:

Madden 09 has very easy achievements, the return 2 kickoffs/punts for touchdowns can be tricky but as i've mentioned previously, theres a very easy way of getting those.

I've got the 2 punt returns already but i havn't managed to get the 2 kickoff returns, i was so bad i couldn't even get 1!

I only got the 2 PR's because i made them punt it so many times.

Use the Bears as Devon Hester is the best kick returner in the NFL or the Patriots & Wes Welker, select Kick Return Middle, when you get the ball, run back to your goal line down one side of the field, then run back along the goal line to the opposite side then straight up field, you should have a massive space to run into as all of tacklers follow your initial run, you might have a few players waiting up field but your blockers should sort them out, i got 5 TD's in one game using this technique

Madden 10 achievements are a lot harder than the previous years, plus there are co-op achievements to get too. I'm working on the Ashes ones, they're easy to do, just a bit time consuming, especially getting the 100G for winning the Ashes, I've completed 3 tests so far! Just remember to change the mode to Easy

The Ashes Training modes were long enough

Thanks for the tips crak, i might use the 2player method too to make it even easier.

Yeh, it took me ages to do the last Batting one, couldn't survive 6 overs against 2 Indian spinners!!! When I eventually did it I almost got run out on the penultimate ball!!!

The Ashes achievements were easy but time consuming, i got the Hat Trick one legit but couldn't get 4 straight, so if you're having trouble, just save after each wicket, then keep loading up until you get the wicket needed.

The only one that did my head was the final batting challenge, against the 2 spinners, took me ages to get that & for 5 measly points too!!

I don't think i'll be able to finish Ashes, it's still expensive so i think i'll sell it and get it again when it's cheap.

Still got PGR4 from the shop i havn't finished and Madden 09, so stealing a 3rd game is a bit cheeky when it's one of our dearer games at £25.

That's the one that was p*ssing me off!!!

I was up until 2 AM last night getting the win by 10 wickets achievement, stupid Australia kept getting run out, I ended up having to bowl a 75 ball over, no-balling or bowling wide just for them to get the runs they needed for me to have to bat again. The only had to get to 110!!!

I'm currently going for 1000 on the "totally awesome" Jumper

Managed to get 800 on my first playthrough, just gonna run through it without dying now & pick up the 3 other achievements then I can send the POS back!

Did you get the Samurai Machete at the end? Makes the game mega easy.
