FIFA 15 (PS3)

Hey everyone, my name is xMC0REx and I'll guide you through all the trophies possible to obtain within this title. Allow me to summarize the trophies:

• There are a total of 38 trophies, from which 22 trophies require you to be connected to both EA Servers and PlayStation Network
• There are no trophies that require time, although some of the miscellaneous ones might require some dedication
• There are currently no known glitches within the game that affect trophies

FIFA is a fun game to play in between work hours and, although it does get repetitive, the completion shouldn't take you longer than 25 hours. On the next page, we'll cover the controls as well as new features.

IN-GAME

Most of the trophies don't require a set difficulty, so all can be done on the Amateur difficulty if it isn't stated otherwise. On top of that, you can adjust some sliders to correct the difficulty level of your own players or those from the AI-opponents. Note that these settings don't apply when playing Games of The Week or Ultimate Team. Obviously these settings won't apply to online opponents either.

There are no Virtual Pro game-modes included on the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions. A bit of a surprise, but nothing to worry about as you can unlock all trophies just fine while playing other game-modes.

EAS FC

The first thing we'll discuss here is the level-related trophy. When playing games, you'll rack up experience. With each level you gain, you will unlock additional things you can buy with the FIFA coins you earn. You'll earn a trophy after reaching level 15. Please note that the level is carried over from previous FIFA titles (FIFA 13 and onwards), so you might unlock it when booting up the game for the first time.

• On Your Way

  Reach EAS FC level 15

You probably also noticed that you can find your level and EAS Coins at the top right corner. Press and you'll have 4 new menus:
- Your own activity feed. If you wish to share anything, press . The first time you do this, you'll unlock an trophy:

• Check Me Out

  Share an EA SPORTS Football Club Activity

  
  

- The activity feed of you and your friends. Post a comment and a like (or dislike) on an item from someone else to unlock the following trophies:

• Here's What I Think Of This

  Tag an EA SPORTS Football Club Activity

  
  

• Thoughts?

  Comment on an EA SPORTS Football Club Activity

  
  

- The EAS FC store, although it's easier to browse through when you access it from the main menu.

- EA Notifications, self-explanatory

SKILL CHALLENGES

So first things first: Learn to play the game. I'm certain some of you might have played an earlier FIFA installment and this one doesn't really have anything that stands out as new. For anyone who's new to FIFA, you'll get a trophy by completing the tutorials. These consist of four categories, being the following:
- Ground Pass (Use )
- Shooting (Use to move the player and/or aim, use to shoot)
- Dribbling (Use to move the player, use to sprint)
- Defending (Use to move the player, use for standing tackles and for a sliding tackle)

To access these, go to the "Play"-section and select "Learn To Play". From there, choose "The Basics" to complete these. The standard preset player is Messi, but you can change that by selecting "Select Arena Player". After completing all tutorials, you'll unlock:

• First Steps

  Complete all Drills in Learn to Play > The Basics

  
  

Next up, we have the real skill challenges. Those consist of 14 categories, and don't need to be completed to a certain level to unlock anything; but you do need to beat a friends score on any of the leaderboards. Using a dummy account to post a low score obviously helps as well, but why go easy if you can learn another thing or two? Either way, after beating their score, you will unlock:

• I'm Better

  Beat a Friend's Skill Game score

  
  

This part of the walkthrough will merely focus on the single player modes that have been included ever since I can remember. First, let's do some preparations. From the main menu, go to "Customize" and select "Create Player". On this screen, start creating a player (it's recommended that it is a striker or midfielder) and make sure all of his stats are set to 99. Assign him to a club in either FL Championship, Football League 1, Football League 2 (all English), Bundesliga 2 (Germany), Ligue 2 (French), Liga Adelante (Spain) or Serie B (Italy). Remember the name of the club, you'll need it. Once you've created and saved your player, go to the "Play" section of the main menu and select "New Career". Pick "Player Career" and pick the team you put the custom player in. Right now, you have to be very careful and set the settings as following (this will apply for all the trophies on this page):
- Match Difficulty: Can be anything, Amateur is recommended trophy-wise
- Half Length: 4 minutes
- Financial Strictness: Lenient (85%)
- Currency: Anything you prefer
- Squads Used: Current Customised
- Europen Competition in 1st Season: Doesn't matter
- Disable First Summer Transfer Window: Off

Hit "Advance" once the settings are good to go and you'll end up in another window. On that window, pick "Use Real Player" and pick the one you've created. Start the Career and we are ready to gain some trophies.

BE-A-PRO

Seeing as your player should have a 99 rating overall, he should be the best in the League. Play or Simulate all the friendly games. Once the first game of the competition starts, it depends on your position what you will want to do to get a higher in-game rating:
- Goalkeeper: Don't concede
- Defender: Don't concede, don't get booked and have a good tackle accuracy
- Midfielder: Don't get booked, have great passing accuracy and score a few goals
- Attacker: Don't get booked and score goals

Once your player has a 9.5 rating (or something along those lines), call in for a substitute and let the rest of the game simulate. Seeing as all other players shouldn't have performed as you have, you should automatically get picked as player of the week and this unlocking the "Rising Star"-trophy. If you didn't unlock it, play another game; it really shouldn't take that long.

• Rising Star

  Have your Pro featured in the team of the week in Player Career

  
  

Once you've unlocked the previous listed trophy, it's time to go for another one. Exit your career, and start a new one. Follow all the screens again, but instead of using a real player, create one. Once you are done, and the league has fully loaded; go to "My Pro" and go to the bottom right. On the "Central" tab, move to the big box on the right hand side of your screen. Press and use to move to the "Personality"-tab. Select either "Free Kick Style" or "Penalty Kick Style" and pick anything else but the default and your next trophy will pop up.

• Stylin'

  Enable a custom Free Kick or Penalty style for your Pro

  
  

That's the last trophy in this section, back out again to the main menu and now start a "Manager Career".

BE-A-MANAGER

Remember where you've put your created player from the very first paragraph? Good, pick that team. On the "Manager Preferences" screen you can do whatever you want, just hit "Advance" whenever you are done and let the game load your season. Make sure the transfer window setting isn't changed though. We'll first go for 2 miscellaneous trophies that could be unlocked in a different way, but why not do it here, right ?

Go to the "Squad" tab and and use to get the "Create New Team Sheet" message on your screen. Name it however you like, select a formation and press to advance. Continue to use this process 3 more times and you should have unlocked 2 brand new trophies by now.

• A Tool for Every Occasion

  Create a New Team Sheet

  
  

• Complete Tool Set

  Fill up all Team Sheets Slots

  
  

Alright, let's actually do something now . Although it isn't immediately necessary to follow this guide, it does give you some additional funds. First, you might need to simulate your season until the second transfer window which starts on January 1st. Go to the "Transfers"-hub and select "Sell Players". On that screen, select your created 99 overall player and select "Add to Transfer List". Simulate the game and hopefully a club would have moved in to buy your player. I was playing with 1. FC K'lautern (Bundesliga 2) and I was able to sell him for €100.000.000, which allowed me to spend some more money a player from Bundesliga 1.

Once you feel you have enough funds, it's time to buy a player on sale. Go to the "Transfers" hub again, and select "Search Player". There's two things you need to change here:
- Transfer Status should be "Transfer Listed"
- League needs to be a league above yours. If you picked Bundesliga 2 like me, select Bundesliga

Once these two are set, press to search and select any player. Go down to "Approach to Buy" and offer the transfer sum that is equal to the player's value. Simulate some more, and hopefully the opposing club will agree. Once they do, fulfill the player requirements in terms of wages and the amount of years on his contract. Make the Squad Role either "Crucial 1st Team Player" or "Important 1st Team Player". Simulate once more and hope he agrees. This will unlock another trophy.

• Top Shelf

  Buy a player who is in a league above you

  
  

Now that we are done here, I advise you to leave this season and start a new one with Manchester City or Arsenal (Barclays PL) with the thought in mind that the earliest cup can be won at the end of August, before the season actually starts. Before we start simming games, we will start going over the transfer market with a specific search. Go to the "Transfers" hub, hover over "Search Players" and use to find the "Scout Instructions" tab. Click on the field that doesn't have any instructions and use the following:
- Position: Any
- Age: 16-24
- Contract: 0-5
- Attributes: Strong, First Team Quality and Defence Minded

Apply these settings for all scouts that don't have any and return to the "Transfers" hub. Now go to "Global Transfer Network" There should be 2 scouts available for you, select either one and select the region. I recommend using Germany. If there's a scout in that area already, search which one is in there and recall him by using . Send your scout to Germany, and start simming. Soon, you will receive a mail with a few players. Pick any of them and select "Enquire about ..." (I got Mats Hummels). Simulate some more, and you'll receive a mail back from the opposing club (in this case, Bor. Dortmund). Make a transfer offer around the price they mentioned and simulate again and after a while you'll get another e-mail saying your transfer offer was accepted or refused. All that's left is matching the player demands and simming again, but don't forget his squad role ("Crucial -" or "Important 1st Team Player"). After the player accepts, all you need to do is accept the offer again and the trophy will unlock.

• You Struck Gold!

  Scout and find a player with any combination of 3 Global Transfer Network attributes in Career

  
  

All that remains for your single player trophies, is winning a trophy in Manager Mode. Simulate until the "Community Shield" event comes up, win the game and that should be your last one on this page.

• Silverware

  Win a trophy as a Team Manager in Career

  
  

We'll move into the more interesting sections of this walkthrough now, being the Multiplayer and Ultimate Team. Let's go!

For all the trophies on this page, you will need to be connected with the EA Servers. They cannot be unlocked if you don't. I've listed them in the easiest possible way to obtain them, but all these can mostly be unlocked at any point. If you need a boosting buddy at any point, please visit Gaming Sessions to set up a session.

EAS FC CATALOGUE

The Catalogue can be found on the "Home"-hub, although you can also access it using the -button. Either way, once you gift something to a lucky receiver on your friends list, you'll unlock the following trophy. Be aware that you cannot gift any Ultimate Team related items at the time of writing, with the exception of the "FUT 99 Match Player Contracts".

• From Me To You

  Gift an EA SPORTS Football Club Catalogue Item

  
  

Speaking off the "Ultimate Team" section, if you buy a player item in this section, you will also unlock

• Window Shopping

  Sign a Loan Player from the EAS FC Catalogue

  
  

SEASONS

Let's kick off with some serious work, although these can still be considered easy. Go to the "Online" hub, and select "Seasons" (not Co-op Seasons, well get to that in a minute). It's very important that you have a second controller and a local co-op buddy since you'll need to play your first game with a guest. I have no idea why they would add this feature, and if it wasn't for this trophy, I'd never play it with someone. Either way, in the Seasons-hub, select "Play Match" and select any team. Press and you are ready to search for a game. Finish it to unlock the following trophy:

• Couch Buddy

  Play Seasons with a Guest

  
  

When the game finishes, there will be countdown to go back to the menu. If you don't press anything and you play a game immediately after your last one, you will now unlock:

• Just One More…

  Play a consecutive match in Seasons

  
  

And finally, we have an trophy for winning a promotion in an online season. This requires you to gain 12 points in 10 games. The easiest way to accomplish this, is by buying wins and draws in the EAS FC Catalogue; but not all people are at a high enough level to be able to buy them all. You can ask your friends to gift them to you, or you can try and get the points you still need to get. Either way, after getting 12 points and going to Division 9 (assuming you are still in Division 10); you'll unlock

• On the Rise

  Earn Promotion in Seasons

  
  

CO-OP SEASONS

Now, from the main menu, go to the "Online" hub again, and select "Co-Op Seasons". This game-mode allows you to play with a friend over Xbox Live for the same team. You'll need to play and finish one game to unlock:

• Double Trouble

  Start a Co-op Seasons match with a Friend

  
  

ONLINE FRIENDLIES

Still got that friend you got the Double Trouble-trophy with? Good, because it's time to play a friendly competition. In the "Online"-hub, go to Friendly Seasons and select your friend. This will invite him into your lobby. Pick your teams and you are set. The fastest method of doing this is quitting out after 5 minutes in-game. This will award the other person 3 points. Since you need 9 points to win a friendly season, do this twice more to unlock:

• Friends to the End

  Finish a Friendlies Season

  
  

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK

This is where skill will come in. You probably had plenty of practice, and the following trophy will require you to play on World Class difficulty. To be able to go for this trophy, from the main menu go into the "Play"-section and select "Highlights of The Week". Normally, there should be 4 "Game of The Week"-challenges and two will be "Match Day Challenge". Select either one of them and select "World Class 900 XP". Complete the challenge, and you'll unlock the following trophy:

• Challenging

  Complete a Match Day Challenge in Highlights of the Week on at least World Class difficulty

  
  

As you might remember, there are normally 4 "Game of The Week"-challenges. Pick any team on any difficulty, win the game and you'll get another easy trophy:

• Big Game

  Play a Game of the Week in Highlights of the Week

  
  

ULTIMATE TEAM

This is probably the most popular game-mode within the FIFA community, and even though recent changes didn't do very well for this game-mode; there are still some trophies to unlock. In the "Play"-hub, go to "Ultimate Team". Assuming you haven't properly set up your team, pick a name and abbreviation and you'll soon get your starting players. There could be a tutorial match, but you can just forfeit that one (there is no penalty in doing so).

Within the "Ultimate Team" game-mode, go to "Squads" and select your main team, which should be on the left hand side in a big box. Press on the team sheet, and select "Player Roles". Go down to the Captain role and select any other player then the one selected on the screen. This will make you unlock:

• Oh Sure, Blame Your Captain

  Change your captain in FUT

  
  

With the starter pack, you should also get some Chemistry styles. These will affect the player's stats in-game, and more about these can be read here. Hover over any player, press and select "Apply Consumable". Go to the end of the page ("Chemistry Styles") and pick any card to unlock the Weird Science-trophy. If you don't have any, go to the "Transfers"-hub and go into the Transfer Market. In there, go to "Consumables", set Consumable Type to Chemistry Styles and make sure the Max Buy Now is set to 200. Buy one and apply it to any of your players.

• Weird Science

  Apply your first Chemistry Style consumable in FUT

  
  

The last trophy you can unlock while viewing you team sheet is unlocked after sharing it on the EAS FC News Feed. Press and select "Share Squad With Friends". Select "Yes" on the menu afterwards and another easy trophy unlocked.

• Cool Squad Bro

  Copy a Squad from the end of an online match in Ultimate Team

  
  

Let's play some games now, first up: Team of The Week. This team has players selected by EA that played best in their position and league and have improved stats of their regular card. Go into the "Play"-hub and select "Team of The Week". Press to challenge it and select any difficulty (the higher, the bigger the coin reward after winning). After winning the game, claim your coins and yet another trophy:

• I'm not afraid of you

  Challenge the Team of the Week in FUT

  
  

If you still have that friend you boosted/played the Friendly Seasons with, make sure to challenge him on Ultimate Team as well. In the "Play"-hub, go to the bottom right box to go into "Friendly Seasons". Select your friend and play some games. The same rules apply here if you want to unlock your trophy faster: quit out after 5 minutes in-game to have the other player win the match. After getting 9 points, you'll unlock:

• Still Bros?

  Win a Friendly Season in FUT

  
  

You will now have to go for a division title. In FUT Seasons, you can either choose between Single Player or Online Season. I recommend playing single player, since you can just beat every opponent on Amateur difficulty. For your first season, you need 12 points and these wins cannot be bought in the EAS FC catalogue. On Amateur difficulty, you shouldn't have any problems winning every game though, and after winning 4 games; you'll unlock:

• Best in Show

  Win a division title in FUT Seasons

  
  

After playing all these games, you should've also unlocked the trophy for getting rewarded with a player's loyalty. This means you've played 10 games with them, and they will be awarded with an additional chemistry point.

• A loyal ally is hard to find

  Earn a player's loyalty in FUT by playing 10 or more games with him

  
  

And finally, we have "spend your money on our store"-trophy. The cheapest solution is saving up until you have 8,000 coins. With those, you can open 20 Bronze Packs for 400 coins each. Winning tournaments, seasons and/or against TOTW will increase your coin count, but you can also buy coin boosts from the EAS FC Catalogue. These are unlocked at the following levels:
- Level 1: 200 x 10
- Level 8: 200 x 5
- Level 14: 200 x 10
- Level 20: 1,000 x 10
- Level 28: 200 x15
- Level 32: 1,000 x 5
- Level 36: 200 x 5
- Level 45: 1,000 x 15
- Level 51: 1,000 x 10
- Level 56: 1,000 x 10
- Level 61: 1,000 x 5
- Level 73: 1,000 x 10
- Level 95: 1,000 x 15
- Level 113: 200 x 15

The "expensive" (and I had to stop myself from writing 'very') way to unlock this trophy is to buy FIFA-points with real money. These transactions aren't very cheap, and they become 'cheaper' after purchasing the Season Ticket. That Ticket will give you a 20% discount, as well as a free pack every week for a period of 24 weeks.

One way to get a free Gold Pack is by completing the Manager Tasks:
- Sign a Loan Player
- Change Club Name
- Play your first match in a Tournament
- Play one Seasons match
- Buy an item from the Transfer Market
- List a player in the Transfer Market
- Challenge the Team of The Week (TOTW)
- Apply a Contract item
- Apply a Fitness item
- Apply a Chemistry Style item
- Change your Club Kit
- Change your Club Ball
- Change your Club Crest
- Change your Club Stadium
- Create a new Squad
- Add a Concept Player to your Squad
- Replace a Concept Player
- Share a Squad with 100 chemistry

Either way, after opening 20 packs; you'll unlock the last Ultimate Team related trophy:

• Goin' for a Rip

  Open 20 packs in FUT

  
  

We only have some miscellaneous trophies left to get the full score on this game. You might or might not have unlocked all trophies on the next page already ,but it wouldn't hurt to have a look at them .

Since these trophies can be unlocked at any point during 'normal' game-play, I've ordered them in the best categories I could think of. Just keep in mind that these trophies can be unlocked in most game-modes. Of course, I'll be giving you the best solutions in how to obtain all the trophies on this page. The trophy description are below the trophy.

DEFENCE

• Controlled Defending

  Perform a Standing Tackle and keep possession of the ball 10 times

  Hide ads
  
  

This trophy is very easy to obtain. Once you are defending (or the opponent has possession of the ball), run up to the player and press . If the tackle was successful and the player that performed the tackle gains possession, you will unlock this trophy. This one can be unlocked in any game-mode and doesn't have to be in one game (although it might be possible).

BOOSTED WITH A LOCAL PARTNER

• Free Kick Specialist

  Score from a direct Free Kick at a distance greater than 30 yards.

  
  

This trophy is easiest if you have a local partner and a second controller. The person that needs the trophy needs to be tackled (preferably with ) between the penalty box and mid-pitch. Let your partner move the wall (if there is one) and let him press the [cn_back]-button to control the goalie. Run with the goalie behind the person taking the free kick and after all that, the only thing the person with the free kick has to do is taking a shot at goal and hope it goes in. This method can't be used in online game-modes.

• Keeper's Best Friend

  Prevent a goal with a Sliding goal line clearance

  
  

For this trophy, you can use the same method as above. Be aware that your local partner now has to get the free kick so you can perform the sliding clearance. Give them a freekick just outside the penalty-box and move your goalie behind the person taking the free kick (he will be blocked by an invisible wall). Move a defender into the goal near a post and let the person take a free kick along the ground (use +). With the defender, mash the button and hopefully he'll perform a sliding clearance. This might take some tries to get this unlocked, but shouldn't be too bad. Again, this can't be unlocked using this method in online game-modes.

• Shot Stopper

  Save 3 Penalty Kicks Shots (in game, not shootouts) with the GK.

  
  

The only thing left to do is saving three penalties. Tackle your partner inside the penalty and let him shoot right at your goalie. Repeat this process twice more to unlock this easy trophy. Opposing to the other two trophies, this one can be unlocked in online modes as well.

SCORING, BUT HOW?!

Before attempting any of these trophies, let's change some settings to make it somewhat easier. Go into the "Customise"-hub and select "Settings and Controls". Select "Game Settings" and use to go to "User Gameplay Customisation". Change the following things:
- Sprint Speed: 65/70
- Acceleration: 65/70
- Shot Error: 0
- Shot Speed: 65/70
- First Touch Control Error: 0

Press [cn_RT] once more to go to "CPU Gameplay Customisation", and change the following:
- Sprint Speed: 10/15
- Acceleration: 10/15
- Shot Error: 100
- Pass Error: 100
- Goalkeeper Ability: 0
- First Touch Control Error: 100

This will make the game so much easier, and you should unlock these trophies very easily. Right now, the only thing left to do is play a Kick Off game in the "Play" hub. Select Real Madrid as your team (Spain - Liga BBVA) and select Accrington (England - Football League 2) as the opposing team. Choose kits, and you'll be able to change the line-up in "Team Management". Change the formation to 4-2-3-1 Wide and have C. Ronaldo up front as a lone striker. The other positions can be filled in with any player you like. Let's unlock the remaining trophies, shall we?

Note: These trophies can be unlocked in any game-mode, but I'll give you the best suggestions whilst playing against the CPU.

• Knuckle Ball

  Score 1 goal with a Knuckle Shot

  
  

With Ronaldo, use + outside the penalty box to make him to a driven shot. After scoring, you should unlock this trophy. It has been noted that it's somewhat random to unlock, but if you keep using this method you should unlock it rather sooner then later.

• Round the Keeper

  Beat the Keeper 1 on 1 and score

  
  

With any player, run up to the keeper and dribble around him. Once you left the goalie trailing, shoot at goal and score for another easy trophy.

• Toe Poke

  Score 1 goal with a Toe Poke

  
  

This last one is the most random trophy on this page and requires more luck than skill. I can't really give you the "easiest" method, but I can give you three methods you can try:
- The first method is running up to the goalie. When he comes out and rushes at you hold and tap the -button to do a chip. If you are lucky enough, he might poke it with this toe; and thus unlocking this trophy.
- The second method is similar to the first one, but without holding the -button. If you give the -button a light touch, the ball might be touched by the player's toe.
- The last method is using a ground-cross (triple tap ) and tap the -button. Most of the time, the player will slide the ball into the back of the net but he might touch the ball with his toe.

FINISHING UP

• Underdogs

  Beat a 5 Star Legendary CPU AI team with a 3 Star or lower team

  
  

This is the last trophy of this walkthrough, and should be easy if you have the same setting applied as the ones in the section above. The only things that are different now is your team, the opposing team and the difficulty you are playing on. You can pick any 3-star team, but as a Belgian guy I will recommend using KV Mechelen, KV Oostende or Sport. Lokeren (Belgium - Pro League) against any 5 star team such as Manchester City (England - Barclays PL), PSG (France - Ligue 1), FC Bayern (Germany - Bundesliga), Juventus (Italy - Serie A), FC Barcelona (Spain - Liga BBVA), etc. Before the match, go into "Match Settings" and change the Difficulty Level to Legendary. All that remains is winning the game to unlock this trophy.

You can now add this game to your trophy case, even though it was easy overall to unlock all the trophies, and thus unlocking

• Football Legend

  Unlock all other trophies (excluding additional content trophies)

  
  

Thanks for taking the time to read this walkthrough, and we hope to see you on our next one. Thanks !
