    This achievement is missable and during Act 3. There are a series of 3 flashback games in high school where we will need to concentrate. You need to just hit every QTE sequence as prompted. For the sake of preparedness, this is the order of the QTE's:

    Game 1 (Sophomore) - cn_A; cn_LS;cn_LS + cn_B; cn_A

    Game 2 (Junior) - cn_X; Steer the ball sequence #3/5 (3:20 - 3:37 in the video - Pause, watch the guide first, then replicate.)

    Game 3 (Senior) - No QTE to start, but rather another game similar to Act 1 where we just need to succeed and not worry about missing anything (for now.) Just stick to your defensive assignment when on defense by holding cn_LB and you'll have to do very little work! If the ball does ever come to you whilst defending then hold cn_X to swat the ball or assure you can tackle. On offense, score in an exact manner as the previous game in Act 1. If for whatever reason you concede, you're best quitting out rather than retrying in-game.

    After the score gets to 31-27 and triggers to a cutscene, you must be prepared for the final QTE section of two prompts - cn_Y; cn_LS + cn_RT. If you fail any of these QTE's, quit out and restart all the way back at the beginning of the entire flashback sequence. If you were paying attention, though, you should unlock the following achievement as soon as Devin gets the pick six.
