    I had trouble getting this when there were men on base. I got it when it was the bottom of the first, no one on base. The sliders were what chicken biscuit except CPU contact was down to 25. This way when they made contact it was all ground balls. Make sure the runner hasn't already touched the base or it will not count. It will pop right away if done correctly.

    For this achievement, you must cause a throwing error to first base with 2 outs and the runner is safe at first because of the error.

    Difficulty sliders:
    User: Gather error freq., and throwing error at 100, throw accuracy at 0
    CPU: contact 50 (he's gotta hit it), power 0 (keep it in the infield), running speed 0 (he can't be safe before you blow the throw)

    To make this even easier, don't worry about editing your players, just move them around. Go to defensive alignment, it shows the defense rating for each player at the position. Swap your 1B with your LF, C and 3B etc. so you have an infield that's in the 20s and 30s.

    Now when you want the ground ball and have the 2 outs, throw a fastball low in the strikezone and weak to get a dribbler to an infielder. Now max out your throwing slider when you throw and hopefully you get it. Unfortunately you only get 8-9 of these chances in a full game, and you now have a crappy defense. You can adjust the sliders in the middle of the game if you want to set up the 2 out crap-fence to achieve your error.

    Chiken BiscuitIt should pop right away. You have to actually throw the ball away. Not have a fielder bobble it, not be late on a throw or under throw. You throw it has hard as you can, and if it was a perfect throw, you would have gotten him out, but instead you launched the ball to the stands. This cannot be done with two controllers or local co-op. Online ranked or single player.

    Best way to do this and most of the other achievements is to start a quick match and go to "Difficulty Sliders" and change the CPU settings to what you need them to be. Basically you're awesome, the CPU sucks.

    By doing this it will easily help you get:

    Don't Call it a Comeback
    My Main Squeeze
    Dual Threat
    Throw First and Aim Later
    A Pitcher's Best Friend
    Stooges
    State Farm®: The Road to Victory
    Grab Some Pine
    Down But Not Out
    The Start of Something Special
    No Hole too Deep
    Mr. Consistency
    Take That
    I Came, I Saw...
    A Virtue
    One Man Show

    One thing to note is for some you'll want the CPU to always throw the strike zone slowly. For three other achievements "I Came, I saw.., No Hole To Deep, Take That" you would want the CPU to throw heavily sliding pitches with no strike zone.

    Drevin KnightCopy and paste is not your friend. This solution doesn't work for every achievement so best bet would be delete this one all together
