How to unlock the NBA Domination achievement

    Simply do what the achievement says, and beat the hidden boss following the Classic Campaign with a team from the 6 NBA divisions. This requires you to play a total of 222 games, which is a lot more than most people are willing to play.

    So, the way that I've worked on this achievement is as follows. Find something in your room that is fairly heavy (I've used Guitar Hero drums and a coffee table mainly). When you start the campaign pick a team who's starting SECOND player has a good overall block, rebound, and 2-pt shooting. Make sure the difficulty is set to Easy.

    Now what you want to do is put your controller under the heavy object so that the "X" button is pressed down constantly. Start the game, and your player will basically jump around the court the whole game and shoot full-court shots off of inbounds plays. This may sound like it won't work, but throughout the first 4.5 campaigns I have played I've only lost one game. So basically all you have to do is hit "A" a few times at halftime and to start the next game and your AI partner will play and win for you, leaving you to do homework or whatever else you want.

    oaksproutIf you start a two player campaign and then play through the whole thing with only one player, but play the hidden boss with two people, with the profile on the second controller still get the achievement for beating the hidden boss?

    perfectdozenI got this "legit", meaning I played through the campaign 6 times with 6 different teams (Miami, Chicago, Phoenix, OKC, Philadelphia, and the World Champion Dallas Mavericks), but I did it over the course of about 8 months. The achievement is not difficult, as I rarely if ever lost a game, but it is overwhelmingly tedious. In order to not make the achievement so totally monotonous, I played the campaigns in parallel, meaning I started all six at once and then I'd play a few games with various teams just so that I didn't have to play with Chicago for 36 or 37 games straight. Thought I might offer that as a suggestion to break up the monotony for anyone else crazy enough to attempt this...

    Not to totally nitpick the achievement guide here, but the requirement is only that you GET to the hidden boss, not beat it. You could feasibly get the achievement in 216 games - you will notice the Western Conference and Eastern Conference achievements pop at the start of the hidden boss game, not after you've beaten it. I just saved you an hour! You're welcome.

    xWEEDMAN 89xthanks perfectdozen for the first 2 campaigns i beat the stickmen and on my third the chieve did pop at the begining of the hidden battle :) now just 2.5 campaigns to go and i might just do the rubber band method for the rest lol. Its getting real boring doing this "legit".

    I just thought that I would expand on rubber band method a bit.

    To further speed up your controller trick as well as have to worry less about the rosters... you must choose teams that have a good default roster without having to change anything before each game.

    You do this so that you can also use a held down turbo A button to just start the next game. When I turbo'd my A button at halftime or end of the game, I would just hold it down for about 5 seconds and not even look at the menu, It saves alot on time and convenience.

    The Teams that have the best default roster to use are:

    Eastern Conference:
    NY Knicks - Gallinari and Stoudemire
    Miami - Lebron and Wade
    Chicago - Boozer and Rose

    Western Conference:
    OKC - Green and Durant
    San Antonio - Parker and Duncan
    LA Lakers - Kobe and Gasol

    Hope it helps, it cut down alot on time and effort while going for this.
