First off this entry is late, esp. regarding the organized event for the 1000 people online @ the same time achievement for this game. This is all in retrospect but I will add of the necessary information and observations while playing this game...
Here was the event:
Here's the achievement:
Online with 1,000 peopleBe online when there are 1,000 people online at the same time
100 
Acquired 2/25/2007
Notes: This achievement was made possible by my favorite Xbox 360 site,
x360a.org and it was possible to get from about 2:45 PM EST until about 3:15 PM EST, give or take a few minutes. I created a new GT, FlyersXBox360 to help others get this achievement as well. I was in an x360a lobby from about 2:30 PM EST until 6:00 PM EST. And for my efforts, I was given an "official" site award:
I also got the other online achievements the same day:

100 Acquired 2/25/2007
Notes: This one took me (3) games as the 1st (2) games both quit in the 4th qtr with a silly msg saying that I lost my connection w/ the EA servers and all that I could do was hit 'A' to quit, nice! One of the players, denver fan 06, sent me a nasty msg that I could have bad repped him on but I never do that and still haven't. So, I replied back with a msg that I was just after the achievement and would not quit the game as I never do that either and why would I when I just wanted to finish the game for it to count. On my 3rd attempt, I met a great gamer girl, Abeyta23, who helped me finish the game early by running out the clock by hanging onto the ball and letting me do the same. Basically, the EA servers are crap and we are all lucky that they could handle all of us being online at the same time for the 1K...
I got the rest of the player achievements the same day and the rest yesterday, here they are (in order of receiving them):
Perform Level 3 Shooter Move Successfully Perform at least one Level 3 SHOOTER SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
50 Acquired 2/25/2007
50 Acquired 2/25/2007 
Perform Level 3 Scorer Move Successfully Perform at least one Level 3 SCORER SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
50 Acquired 2/25/2007 
Perform Level 3 Playmaker Move Successfully Perform at least one Level 3 PLAYMAKER SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
50 Acquired 2/26/2007 
Perform Level 3 Post Move Successfully Perform at least one Level 3 POST SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
50 Acquired 2/26/2007Notes on the Level 3 achs: Make sure that the player you are using to get these with has this ability selected which can be done by holding LB and tapping RB, to cycle through their list, located surrounding their circle HUD. So, just select the ability and keep it that way until you get the achievement with the player which can be done by holding LB and rotating the Right analog stick clockwise (half-turn for lvl 3). As you can see these two were the hardest for me in lvl 3 but the easiest for "In the Zone", go figure...
In The Zone Playmaker Move Successfully Perform at least one In the Zone PLAYMAKER SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
70 Acquired 2/26/2007 
In The Zone Post Move Successfully Perform at least one In the Zone POST SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
70 Acquired 2/26/2007 
In The Zone Shooter Move Successfully Perform at least one In the Zone SHOOTER SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
70 Acquired 2/26/2007 
In The Zone High Flyer Move Successfully Perform at least one In the Zone HIGH FLYER SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
70 Acquired 2/27/2007 
In The Zone Scorer Move Successfully Perform at least one In the Zone SCORER SUPERSTAR move in a game session.
70 Acquired 2/27/2007 Notes on the In The Zone achs: They all came pretty fast, once you pick the right team (West Conference All-Stars) and the right players, Nash (Playmaker, Shooter), Ming (Post), McGrady (High Flyer), except for the last one which I finally got well over an hour later with Kobe (Scorer). What finally worked for the Scorer was start at the top of the foul line inside of the arc in the colored area. I had previously made this move with McGrady and Kobe but from different areas in the paint and I just wouldn't get the achievement, so I tried it higher up just once and it worked! To get "In The Zone" you need to make baskets, block shots, steal and rebound while limiting your opponents pts in the process. If you go on say a 12-2 run you will get your players, "In The Zone"...
Final Notes: All in all the Event on Sunday 2/25 was a success, even if that success didn't last that long. The problem was that a lot of gamers logged off when they received their achievement, which made it difficult for others to get theirs. I was able to get the achievement on both of my IDs and it is the only one that I will probably have on my other one, FlyersXBox360 for a while...unless my wife takes up gaming instead of bothering me about it ;)
So, I end up with 950/1000 GPs because the last one involves having (4) controllers attached to the same machine and I currently only own (2), so unless I can find some laying around somewhere I am stuck here...
