Madden NFL 06

Madden NFL 06 has plenty of extremely easy points up for grabs in its 11 different achievements, but if you really want to get the full thousand, you'll actually have to (gasp!) play some football. Let's start with the achievements that don't actually require any real work (thanks to the magic of simulated seasons and franchises).
Activate RS Card - When you first read this, you might think it refers to some sort of unlockable cheat football card that you'd have to earn. But, no, it doesn't. Push in the right stick at just about any menu and bang, 10 points.

10
Enter History Book - Whoa, for this one you'll have to do so well that you set a record or something! Oh wait...no. Just go into the history book and look at a page. You'll get 10 more points.

10
Complete 30 Years of Franchise - This one takes time, but not nearly as much time as you might think. Sure, you need to take your franchise team through 30 seasons, but since you can simulate seasons, this 400 points is only a few hours away, depending on how good you are at occasionally pressing the start button.

400
Win the Super Bowl - Here you need to get your franchise team to win the Super Bowl. But nowhere in there does it say that you have to be at the controls. Pick a team that's already got a winning roster, like the Patriots or the Seahawks, and then simulate the first season of a franchise over and over again until you get it. 100 points is your prize.

The rest of the Madden achievements actually require you to play the game, but just because you have to take control doesn't mean it has to be a fair fight. Dig around for the difficulty setting, set it as low as it'll go, pick the best team in the game while playing against one of the worst (the 49ers work well for this, though you could beat up on the Cardinals or the Lions, too), and you'll cruise through the rest of these. Can you accomplish all of them in one game?
Win a Franchise Game - Winning one game isn't that tough, but if you want the odds to be in your favor, wait until your team is going up against a weak opponent and choose to play that game. Win for another 100 points.

100
Complete an Offline Game - If you make your franchise game your first offline game, you can double up and get this one along the way. If not, well, just complete a game. Heck, if you're really against working to get this one, just select plays and let the clock tick down whenever possible. 30 points.

30
Get a First Down - You'll almost certainly get at least one first down while winning your franchise game. 20 points.

20
Score a Touchdown - Again, you'll probably pick this one up along the way during your franchise win. It's easy. 30 points.

30
The remaining three achievements require a little in-game finesse. But again, with you at the controls of a top-tier team going up against a garbage team, these shouldn't be much trouble.
Rush for 200 Yards - Rushing means running, in case you didn't know. Why don't they just call it running? Anyway, this one might require a little focus, but just make sure to throw in some running--er, make that rushing--plays and you shouldn't have much trouble racking up 200 yards in a game for another 100 points.

100
Four Sacks in one Game - Can you tackle the quarterback for a loss four times in a game? If you're focusing on that task and that task alone, this shouldn't be much trouble with the team mismatch we've been talking about all along. Here's another 100 points.
