FIFA 12 Walkthrough

6. Miscellaneous

Okay, the last few achievements are the miscellaneous ones. Alot of these can be done in one game if you know what your doing.

Go to Main Menu ---> Customise FIFA ---> Game Settings.

Half Length - 6 Minutes

Difficulty Level - Legedary

Now press RT until you get to "User Game Customisation" and move the following to 100:

Sprint Speed

Acceleration

Shot Speed

Pass Speed

Now put the Following on 0:

Shot Error

Pass Error

Now press RT one last time to move to the "CPU Game Customisation" tab and slide the following to 100:

Shot Error

Pass Error

And then this lot onto 0:

Sprint Speed

Acceleration

Shot Speed

Pass Speed

Goalkeeper Ability

Once done, you're ready to begin!

Okay, so the first one is:

Don't Blink12 (10)

Score within the first 5 minutes of a game in a game vs the CPU

• Unlocked by 21,871 tracked gamers (71% - TA Ratio = 1.19) 30,997

Iit is very easy with the above settings. Play as Brazil vs Accrington Stanley and as soon as you get the ball into their half, shoot. It will go in 95% of the time!

Now you can get the next two at the same time:

Ruud Boy17 (15)

Score a goal on a volley

• Unlocked by 24,646 tracked gamers (80% - TA Ratio = 1.12) 30,997

and

Riding Bikes88 (50)

Score with a bicycle kick

• Unlocked by 9,971 tracked gamers (32% - TA Ratio = 1.76) 30,997

To pull it off, run past all of the defenders and turn with the Left Stick. Hold LT throughout the next few steps. Start tapping RB to do Kickups. Once kicking the ball, hold the Left stick the direction that you're player is facing. The ball should now be kicked into the air. Still holding the Left Trigger, Tap B. You're player, after a few attempts, should try a Bicycle Kick.

Try playing as a good team to do this. I recommend Brazil as this is the team I found easiest.

*HUGE thanks to http://www.trueachievements.com/TheIBigKahuna.htm for letting me use his video for the riding bikes achievement!

As soon as you start the second half, keep scoring own goals untill you are losing by 3, then go on to win the game for:

Comeback Kid28 (15)

Win after being down 3 goals in the 2nd half in a game vs. the CPU

• Unlocked by 8,827 tracked gamers (28% - TA Ratio = 1.87) 30,997

Happy 20th EA SPORTS!24 (20)

Score 20 match goals in FIFA 12 to celebrate 20 years of EA SPORTS!

• Unlocked by 21,042 tracked gamers (68% - TA Ratio = 1.21) 30,997

The above is rather simple; score 20 goals and over time, this should be done. You can achieve it in 5ish games.

*Note* I have been told that playing Ultimate Team doesn't count towards this.

Okay, the next one:

Sweet Music21 (10)

Set up some Custom Audio in FIFA 12

• Unlocked by 6,982 tracked gamers (23% - TA Ratio = 2.11) 30,997

is simple and a suprisingly high ratio (2.11 at time of writing). All you have to do is install a disc (music) to your hard drive then, from the menu, go to Customize FIFA and select Custom Music, then Chants and pick the playlist you just made and boom, you have it.

*Note* Apparently, if you have an Xbox Slim that came with the 250GB hard drive, it has a playlist already installed, but I cannot confirm this.

Okay, onto:

Legendary53 (30)

Win a game vs. the CPU on legendary difficulty against a club of the same or higher star level

• Unlocked by 9,853 tracked gamers (32% - TA Ratio = 1.77) 30,997

After the game with Brazil vs Accrington, load up another game but this time play as Accrington. Beat Brazil for this easy achievement.

Okay, for the next two:

Megged35 (30)

Successfully dribble the ball through a defender's legs

• Unlocked by 22,641 tracked gamers (73% - TA Ratio = 1.17) 30,997

Warrior28 (20)

Score a goal after suffering a non-contact injury with a player

• Unlocked by 15,787 tracked gamers (51% - TA Ratio = 1.40) 30,997

Follow this video. It sums it up nicely

Just play with the settings on still and have fun. On the 80th minuite, score own goals until you are drawing, then in the 90th minute, score to win the game and bag a nice achievement:

Secret Achievement23 (15)

Continue playing to unlock this secret achievement. (Secret)

Show secret details

• Unlocked by 13,368 tracked gamers (43% - TA Ratio = 1.52) 30,997

For:

Quickly Now!34 (20)

Score shortly after a quick throw-in

• Unlocked by 10,908 tracked gamers (35% - TA Ratio = 1.69) 30,997

Watch this which also sums it up quite well

Again, start a game with the settings on, get a red card and win. Quite simple for:

10 vs 1117 (10)

Win from a draw or behind while down a man in a game vs the CPU

• Unlocked by 10,625 tracked gamers (34% - TA Ratio = 1.71) 30,997

Precision Tackler21 (15)

Obtain a successful tackle percentage of 80% with a minimum of 5 tackles in a game

• Unlocked by 15,657 tracked gamers (51% - TA Ratio = 1.41) 30,997

Start a match on amateur using a 5 star team against a 1 star team, but before the match starts go onto Xbox 360 controller settings, scroll to the bottom and change where it says "tactical defending" to legacy defending. This will change it back to the other FIFA games' tackling style, so you can just hold down LT and A, then let go of LT while still holding A to tackle a lot easier.

The next one is kind of tricky. What you want to do is plug in a second controller and start the match. Get the ball anywhere in the main players half (so player 2 can shoot) and get player one's player just infront of the guy on the ball and then shoot so it hits the defender and gets blocked. You'll need to be fast before an AI player gets to player 2 and tackles him. After doing this 5 times, you'll get:

Block Party20 (10)

Manually block 5 shots while defending in a single game

• Unlocked by 8,146 tracked gamers (26% - TA Ratio = 1.95) 30,997

The next achievement:

Century of Goals61 (45)

Score 100 goals in FIFA 12 match play

• Unlocked by 17,015 tracked gamers (55% - TA Ratio = 1.35) 30,997

will come over time, so no real guide here, but with the settings modified, you can get about 25 goals a game. Easy.

For:

All My Own Work25 (10)

Win a Match with Manual Controls (including Tactical Defending)

• Unlocked by 5,074 tracked gamers (16% - TA Ratio = 2.47) 30,997

you'll need to change your settings. Go from the Main Menu to Customise FIFA -> Settings -> Controls -> Xbox 360 Controller. Here's the detailed change list, plus the default settings in brackets in case you're wondering how they were:

- Auto Switching: Manual (Air Balls)
- Auto Switching Move Assistance: None (None)
- Passing Power Assistance: Off (Off)
- Pass Assistance: Manual (Assisted)
- Through Pass Assistance: Manual (Assisted)
- Shot Assistance: Manual (Assisted)
- Cross Assistance: Manual (Semi)
- Lob Pass Assistance: Manual (Assisted)
- Save Assistance: Manual (Assisted)
- Analog Sprint: On (Off)
- Defending: Tactical Defending (Tactical Defending)

*Thanks to Sn1gaaaZ for the list

Now, play a game and win (keep the other settings on so you score a lot to make it easier)

Virtual Legend87 (50)

Play 50 Matches with your Virtual Pro

• Unlocked by 10,176 tracked gamers (33% - TA Ratio = 1.75) 30,997

You should get this over time from playing with your Pro, but if not, go to Kick off ---> Be a Pro: Player, pick the team that your Pro is on and use him. 4 minutess a half and let it play by its self. After 50 games you get it.

Lastly:

FIFA for Life99 (50)

Spend 50 hours on the pitch

• Unlocked by 7,869 tracked gamers (25% - TA Ratio = 1.98) 30,997

Play 50 Hours... Guess what, did you guess? Thats right, Ultimate Team doesn't count towards this! Wait, you guessed wrong? Why would you think EA would be nice?

But fear not, thanks to DANIEL SON IOW you can have it made simple =)

This achievement is for playing 50 hours in games NOT IN THE MENU.

50hrs is 3000 minutes, so you'll have to play:

- 375 matches of 4min halves = 3000 mins
- OR 300 matches of 5min halves = 3000 mins
- OR 250 matches of 6min halves = 3000 mins
- OR 215 matches of 7min halves = 3010 mins
- OR 188 matches of 8min halves = 3008 mins
- OR 167 matches of 9min halves = 3006 mins
- OR 150 matches of 10min halves = 3000 mins
- OR 100 matches of 15min halves = 3000 mins
- OR 75 matches of 20min halves = 3000 mins
