Most of the other achievements were done on a different save file so probably add another 15-20hrs, not sure without checking. When I say easier, I mean in comparison to other easy 1k not compared to a normal game :p It probably felt easier because I enjoyed it more, but I think that was the case with the other NBA Live games. 36hrs is just the one save file for my 5 and 10 seasons worth and things like 10 managers of the month.

A lot quicker than it was for me certainly, but then again I got practically every achievement in that game without any holidays etc.. Everything was earned bar 3 of the leagues (India, Singapore and Ireland), probably as I just enjoy them that little bit more than other games. Having 1000/1000 on both Football Manager 2006 and Football Manager 2008 feels great, a real achievement. I also agree with Ninja Gaiden 2, it's very fluid and just when you think you're doing well something can appear on screen and totally kick your ass, notably those bloody dogs with swords in their mouths and I still hate bats :p. I can only think you were doing something drastically wrong in NBA Live 08 to find the achievements 'harder' than NBA 2K8, because the 2K8 achievements look a lot like the 2K7 ones and Live 08 was a lot easier than those and an almost effortless 1000 points, but I also really enjoyed it. I'm one of the few who seems to see there is room for 2K sports and EA Sports to make NBA games as I think they are as good as each other if I'm being honest. As for playing Luxor... I understand, I hate the fact that my gamerscore isn't a 0 or a 5 and that's simply down to bloody Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. I really should grind the acheivements I need to get my score back to a 0 :p. Good luck with the 1k on Football Manager, I see you grinding it out quite often, but to do it in 36 hours is quick..

I tried WoW once on the 10 day trial - played it for 4 days, then got bored. MMOs sometimes capture my imagination, but then the eternal boring quests (LOTRO) or stupid grind (FlyFF) just make the game not worth playing any more. Good luck on FM08. I don't think I have the patience to sit through an FM game as you do! It'd be a stellar 1k to have. That is some wierd commercial.
