3. Backyard Sports: Rookie Rush Story walkthroughUpdate notes

Ok, we will start off with the basic 'in game' achievements and story mode. I did these in kind of the same order (except I got all the basic 'in game' achievements BEFORE doing story mode), but this way should save you more time. First for story mode, you'll create your character. Just set what skills you want upgraded and once you've done that you'll unlock...

  • It's Me!

    Create a Character, or be signed in when another player does

    It's Me!

and also, before you play your first game, this will unlock...

Now that that is out of the way, you are ready for game play. Story mode is set up to where you have to win games to obtain 6 players to add to your team upon victory. You can choose any path you want (which the game really only gives you 2 I believe), depending on what characters you want on your team. I would suggest going to Pablo's Sandlot first since Pablo is super fast and can easily net you in game achievements. Also, once you get to the Webber twins, whichever one you choose to get, will end up being a great WR.

Now when setting up these games, set them to Easy and 1 minute quarters. That way you save time and you wont be spending forever getting through Story mode. You'll be able to do a lot in these 4 minute games so don't worry. From Game 1, focus on Sacking the QB as much as possible in the game, as well as running the ball a lot too if possible. Here's what I was able to knock out in my first game. I'm going to split these achievements up so you can focus on certain things to get the most out of your story mode games. Focus on a shutout as well and go with Pablo's Sandlot first.

Game 1

  • Juke

    Perform a successful juke or move, or be signed in when another player does

    Juke

^ Jukes are done with the cn_RS. Easy to perform.

  • Big Game

    Score 50+ points in one game, or be signed in when another player does

    Big Game

  • Tough Stuff

    Allow less than 25 yards rushing in a half, or be signed in when another player does

    Tough Stuff

  • Ouch!

    Cause a fumble, or be signed in when another player does

    Ouch!

Plus or minus a few others (like if you pass the ball any in this game) you should easily be able to get all of the above by focusing on running and sacking the QB all game. A lot of times when you sack the QB and dive at him, you'll cause him to fumble. Fumbling seemed to happen more than normal football games because of this game being easier. Also by sacking, you'll get the Not This Time achievement cause you'll likely win at least one blocking battle.

By completing game one and getting your RB you'll get...

  • The Express

    Acquire Running Back in Story Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    The Express

Also, by getting power-ups through out the game, you should easily be able to get 5 different ones (as they pop up randomly on the field and will look different). If you get and use 5 different ones, you'll get...

Now for Game 2. This one we will focus more on passing (you can run too obviously). Also, if you haven't already, try to return punts to the house (TD) as much as possible, purposely punting more, and purposely setting yourself up for a 50 yard field goal. Make sure you play it so this game goes into OT (don't worry, you can easily win). Empty Backfield, then Hail Mary is a good play option here.

Game 2

  • Long Bomb

    Complete a 50+ yard passing play, or be signed in when another player does

    Long Bomb

  • Air Mail

    Throw over 300 yards in one game, or be signed in when another player does

    Air Mail

Also, try and get yourself backed up to the half yard line and complete a 100+ yard play (via a Hail Mary or Deep Pass play in general) to get...

After the first two games, you should have a bulk of the achievements of the game. After you beat story mode, which includes the 6 games acquiring your All Star team and win the 3 game tourney with your team and the end, you'll get...

  • Big 'Un

    Acquire Center in Story Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    Big 'Un

  • Lefty

    Acquire Left Guard in Story Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    Lefty

  • Righty

    Acquire Right Guard in Story Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    Righty

  • Flash

    Acquire Wide Receiver in Story Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    Flash

  • Zoom

    Acquire Tight End in Story Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    Zoom

  • All-Stars

    Unlock the All-Star Team in Story Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    All-Stars

Now for Tourney mode. There's only 6 different tournaments to go through and you can simply simulate through all of them until you win for the achievements to pop. Really only took me an hour to get all 6 and if you truly want to ensure you win, simulate until your team gets to the finals and quickly play the final game (1 minute quarters) and get the achievement. Just select the strongest team stat wise and this will come easy. I used The Invincibles. Do these 6 tourneys and get...

  • Monster Cup

    Win the Monster Cup tournament, or be signed in when another player does

    Monster Cup

  • Bruiser Cup

    Win the Bruiser Cup tournament, or be signed in when another player does

    Bruiser Cup

All that should be left now besides a few mop-up achievements that you may or may not have gotten already is Season Mode. You can simulate the season to get the Season mode specific achievements, however you want to make sure you win your first five games to get...

  • On a Roll!

    Win first 5 games of Season Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    On a Roll!

so you can either play 5 in a row and win, simulate one by one, or simulate it all and hope for the best. I personally made sure I simulated carefully to win 5 straight and then won it all by just simming the rest. Win season mode to get...

  • Playoffs

    Make the playoffs in Season Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    Playoffs

  • Champions!

    Win the Championship in Season Mode, or be signed in when another player does

    Champions!

Also, play in a customized tournament (Tourney menu, then Custom Tourney) to get..

  • Customized

    Play in a custom tournament, or be signed in when another player does

    Customized

Now you'll have 4 more achievements to get (unless you got some of these while playing, which could very well be possible.)

Set up a regular exhibition game, 5 minute quarters, and have 2 controllers to control both teams. This will give you ample time to set yourself up to get these achievements in probably the easiest way possible. Choose a great team for your profile controller and a bad one for the second controller. Basically you want to set yourself up to intercept the ball and then run it back for a touchdown, purposely controlling the second controller to their half yard line to get a safety on them, and punting the ball 40+ yards and controlling the second controller to not return the ball at all. Pick a team with 5 in power like the 7th St Brawlers.

For the interception:

Profile controller: Use Cover, then Prevent defense. This will give you the best coverage to make a INT.

2nd: Shotgun, Flags.

Just select a defender, preferably the far right or left one, and hike the ball with the 2nd controller and right before the receiver gets to the ball (like 5-10 yards before), press the button of the receiver and quickly grab your profile controller and get to the ball and press cn_Y. You should easily pick the ball off. Now just run it back with cn_RT for sprint and juking defenders with cn_RS and if you can dive extra players out of the way with the 2nd controller just in case.

you'll nab...

  • Easy Points

    Score a touchdown after an interception, or be signed in when another player does

    Easy Points

For the safety:

With the 2nd controller, run them backwards to the 1-3 yard line at least. Now with your profile controller, select Pressure, then Blitz. Now hike the ball with the 2nd controller and quickly grab your profile controller and get to the QB in the endzone and hit cn_X to sack him and get your safety. You'll get...

Now for the final achievement. With the profile controller and your team having a 5 in power, punt the ball and then take control of the 2nd controller. Simply run backwards with the 2nd controller if need and simultaneously use push down on the joystick of the profile controller and once you got a defender near, tackle the 2nd controller player and you'll nab...

You now have completed the easy, yet fun Backyard Sports: Rookie Rush and got 1000G! Congrats!
