Is it just me or DO ALL THE EA Games have EASY achievement points?????


I only own one EA game that being Fight night round 3 because everything else they've done is shit, but everyone i know that has more EA games have loads of points????This takes the piss infact my friend HAs NBA 06 and fifa road to world cup and within 3 days of having them he made over 1750 points off them....

I think he gets points just for playing SHIT EA games....

It's a joke...

I'm pissed because i've been playing PRO 6, PGR3, Gears of WAR (completed on insane), Dead rising and Table Tennis and played them for hours with minimal achivement scores.. look at my Gamertag....

Making the game's achievements easy can sell crummy games or at least for some rents.  There aren't any good games with easy to get achievements.  Graw maybe, excluding the leaderboard ones.

At the same time, EA also mmakes some of the hardest achievements out there.  Tiger Woods 2006 is the absolute hardest game to get achievements on. period.  TW07 is a little better, but not easy in the least bit.

The achievements in burnout revenge are fairly difficult to get as well... Burnout and Dead Rising are the two games I've dedicated the most play time to and they're also two games on a very short list of games that I haven't yet earned a full 1000 points in yet.

I think that 2K games are worse then EA games overall.

Even still most of those easy points games are all launch window titles, very few beyond that give up points that easily.

The easy points game list:
Cars - THQ
College Hoops 2k6 - 2K
Eragon - Sierra
King Kong - Ubisoft
Madden 06 - EA
Major League Baseball 2K6 - 2K
NBA 2K6 - 2K
NBA Live 06 - EA
NHL 2K6 - 2K
FIFA: WTFWC06 - EA
Fight Night Round 3 - EA
Open Season - Ubisoft
Pimp My Ride - Activision
Superman Returns - EA

Semi easy (just time consuming):
Amped 3 - 2K
Bionicle Heroes - Edios
Cabela's Alaskan Adventures - Activision
Cabela's Safari - Activision
Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires - KOEI
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - 2K
FIFA WC: 06 - EA
History Channel: Civil War - Activision
Just Cause - Edios
LEGO Star Wars II - Lucas Arts
Need for Speed Most Wanted - EA
Ninety-Nine Nights - Microsoft
Prey - 2K
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - Activision
X-Men: The Official Game - Activision
Viva PiƱata - Microsoft

^(the above is based on scores from A360P)

So lets take a tally:
EA - 7 easy games
2K - 7 easy games
Activision - 6 easy games
Ubisoft - 2 easy games
Edios - 2 easy games
Microsoft - 2 easy games

2K is just as much of an offender as EA is, and Activision isn't far behind.

Even still most of these are early released games, by comparison Madden 07 is far far more difficult to earn achievements in then 06 was. Also Tony Hawk's Project 8 is not only much much harder then American wasteland, it's considered one of the hardest 360 games to earn achievements in PERIOD.

FIFA RTWC has some hard achievements in there even though it is an EA game.


bah, set the computer on the easiest difficulty, 2 minute halves.

run down the field, double tap B when you get into the box, repeat

if you loose a game power off the console with your DVD remote before it auto saves reboot and try again.

as for the beat the computer on the hardest setting... score on yourself the whole game and with 30 seconds left pause and switch sides...

I've never played a soccer game in my life and this one only took me a few short hours.

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!
