    This is one of the toughest achievements out there, if only because it takes so very long to get.

    Here are the specifics of the requirements:

    • Play 500 matches

    • Score 1000 goals

    • Win all leagues - including the master league.

    • Win all cups including the D1, D2, European Championship and the Masters Cup in master league. The most awkward one here is the Masters Cup. The easiest way to qualify for it is to finish 3rd or 4th in the group stage of the European Championship (i.e fail to qualify for the knockout stage) - you'll be dropped into the Masters Cup instead.

    The worst part of this achievement is the 500 games. It'll seem to take forever, but you'll get there.

    EDIT: Removed comments about exhibition matches don't count towards games played and goals scored values due to comments below. All I can say is they must've changed it in a patch, because this didn't pop for me until I finished my 550th game, and I played exhibitions with my friend - wait for it - about 50 games.

    FalensaranoRE: Exhibition mode. These games won't count if your opposition is a human controlled player. It has to be against CPU.

    FalensaranoAnother important note, I'm not sure how this happened but I won the England league BUT in the track record, it doesn't have a date next to the league so it looks like I haven't done it. I'm replaying the England league at the moment and will post back if the achievement unlocks.

    rob25XFor this achievement you need to complete all the leagues and cups listed in 'Gallery', 'Track Record', 'History'. When you have a date stamp next to every league and cup listed here you have met the requirement for this achievement (not including 500 games played, 1000 goals).

    Leagues can all be done in half-season and no cup games during season.

    I unlocked it at exactly 500 games played. This included online and exhibition matches.

    This is very tedious as this involves a fair bit of time to invest.

    Do the following to speed things up:

    * Set the game to 5 min halves
    * Turn off accumulative fatigue

    Start by destroying all the leagues (English, French, Italian, Spain, Dutch) including all the domestic cup competitions - all of these should go towards the 500 games and 1000 goals.

    Next complete the konami cup, asian cup, african cup etc.

    Once these are done you'll have to do the Master league games - pick Barca/Man Utd/Chelsea and blitz through D2 (including D2 cup) then get promoted and do it again for the D1 league and cup completion.

    When creating a new Master league game, make sure you can set the following options:

    * Default ML team player/Use real team and players/Create yur own team - Pick real team and players and select Barca/Man Utd/Chelsea
    * Select BEGINNER as the difficulty

    Always check the Gallery > Track Record to see if there is a date next to each competition that has been recognised as completed by the game.

    Make sure to follow Ozzpot's instructions to qualify for the Master's Cup - to speed things up, as soon as you qualify for European Championship and then immediately save the game in a separate game slot. Lose all games to be demoted to the Master's cup then rape that competition. Once done, load the other game save and win the European Cup.

    Remember to WATCH ALL cup winning ceremonies and do not skip them as per normal as the game has a tendency to not register these cup/league wins in the Track Record screen.

    Start to finish, this took me a few months to do and I had to create 3/4 master league games as the game initially didn't recognise my D1/D2 league/cup wins - make sure you don't make the same mistake I made when skipping the end of match fmv's.
