The guys over at Xbox 360 Achievements have let me know that they are starting to really promote their upcoming event to achieve one of the more difficult achievements for NBA Live 07. The achievement requires that 1,000 people be online at a single time on the game. This wouldn't be such as difficult achievement if the game was actually good, but EA tends to slack on sports titles just throwing whatever they can out to the unsuspecting public. In order to help out with this event, you'll need to acquire a copy of the game, I personally would just rent it from a local shop, or at least try to buy a used copy so that you could return it shortly after being finished with the event.
The event will be held on Sunday, the 25th of February, 2007. at 8:00 PM (20:00) GMT. This translates to 3:00PM (15:00) Eastern USA, and for the Australian visitors it will be Monday, the 26th of February, 2007 at 1:00 AM. This seems to be a decent time period where most people will be able to get online and help out their goals. They are warning that if you don't get in on this event, you may never get this achievement as it's difficult to gather that large of a group of people together. You can visit their site for more details, or just read below for the full release.
