11,483 tracked gamers have this game, 5,294 have completed it (46.10%)

Now either I'm terrible, or I have missed something really obvious. I cannot get a single achievement in this game and I've been playing it for almost 3 hours now.

I've completed the criteria for a number of achievements, such as knocking a guy over the barrier. Scoring using a special shot (Y button). I presume that all achievements unlock at the end of the game, which is my problem.

I played the AI on easy, and lost 6:0. I then had the cunning idea of playing a local vs. match with a spare controller. It took me over 3 hours to get 4 goals and I couldn't take the stress trying to get a 5th to end the game that I rage-quit.

If anyone has any useful tips on how to overcome that incredibly overpowered AI - that keeps saving every shot I fire at them, and intercepting every pass etc. I'm completely lost and I need one achievement in this game before the day is out else I fail my year long challenge.

Thanks in advance, and no I don't mind at all if you laugh at me - all I want is some help.

It's a long time since I played this so not sure. If it's just one achievement you want today, have you tried the "Let's Play" achievement for just playing an online game? I understand it should pop win or lose.

I will have a look at this one, assuming the on-line community still exists.

If you have no luck finding anyone online, I still have that game on my hard drive and can help you out. Although I'll be out between 6 and 10.

Servers are still up for this game and its very easy. When approaching the goalie just keep moving the puc from side to side then when real close move quickly to one side and shoot. Works most of the time once you get the timing right.
