How to unlock the Collector achievement

When I boot fifa 12, the game often says that I've not downloaded/bought the full add-on yet, but obviously I have bought and installed it on my HDD. You can exploit this by going to game settings. You'll see that you can only change "Difficulty Level" and "Game Speed". You should see that the "Half Length" is set to 2 minutes. Just back out and the game will save the settings. The half length is now set to 2 minutes when you play a match in expedition. Now all you have to do is go to expedition, start a game and you'll then get a pop-up saying "purchase UEFA EURO 2012 video game". Press A and when it loaded the fifa store back out again and start the match. The 2 minute half length will still be set and you will go through these matches very fast.
I don't know why fifa doesn't always recognise me buying the add-on.
Also this does not happen every time, but when I restart fifa by dashboarding it usually happens.
I also don't know if it just happens to me or that it is a common problem.
I only seems to happen when I set my Virtual Pro to Free Agent instead of a club.

This achievement is a drag. You have to beat each nation 3 times in order to collect all 180 mosaic pieces. That means you need 159 wins in Exhibition mode. The fastest way to grind this out is to go to game settings (when you start a match) and make the following changes:
Half Length: 4 minutes
Difficulty: Amateur
Injuries: Off
Offsides: Off
User Customization: All 100%, except Shot Error/Pass Error (0%) and Power Bar (adjust as desired - too high will make your shots sail)
CPU Customization: All 0%, except Shot Error/Pass Error (100%)
You can ignore the injury sliders, since injuries will be turned off.
With these changes you can easily score a goal or two and set the controller down, confident that you will win. 95% of the time, if you have possession of the ball, the AI will dance around you and not do any harm. I suggest 2 goals, just in case.
It is best to plug in your controller, but not necessary. You can use a turbo controller and rapid-fire A, but I don't recommend it. Rapid-firing A will advance you through halftime and the rare occasions when the ball goes out of bounds or you are given a penalty kick, but I have noticed that mashing A at menu screens causes the game to crash and it sucks when this happens after a game because you lose the progress. Any time saved will be lost if you have to replay a game.
As you progress, you unlock roads to the other nations. You have to follow these roads, so you can't just hop around from one nation to another. For this reason, I suggest defeating each nation at least once to unlock all of the others, as well as most of the roads. This will let you plan out the rest of your victories and help you avoid painting yourself into a corner.
