    Firstly, be prepared for a long grind. You cannot sim ANY games throughout the 10 years otherwise it will void the achievement. You will get an ingame message telling you this when you attempt to sim.

    Other than the grind, you can only fail this achievement by getting fired if you lose all your money, so be sure not to spend too much upgrading your coaching/injury recovery at the beginning of each season. I would advise not spending anything on these to ensure you also get
    Rugby League Live 2ProfitableThe Profitable achievement in Rugby League Live 2 worth 215 pointsTurn a profit every year in Career mode.

    If you want to play the minimum amount of games per season, DO NOT choose to play as any of the rep teams at the very beginning of your career. Also finish outside of the top 8 so you don't play any finals matches. Your first season may be the exception if you are going for the other career specific achievements:
    Rugby League Live 2Flawless VictoryThe Flawless Victory achievement in Rugby League Live 2 worth 262 pointsWith 1 team go through an NRL or Super League season without conceding a loss.

    Rugby League Live 2Simply The BestThe Simply The Best achievement in Rugby League Live 2 worth 61 pointsWin an NRL or Super League Premiership.

    Rugby League Live 2SupermanThe Superman achievement in Rugby League Live 2 worth 203 pointsWin the Dally M or Man of Steel award in an NRL or Super League season in Career mode.

    Rugby League Live 2World BeatersThe World Beaters achievement in Rugby League Live 2 worth 63 pointsWin the World Club Challenge in Career mode.

    As an NRL team you have to play at least 26 games (2 trial & 24 regular season) and each game takes roughly 12mins with stoppages & loading times. Add in the menu loading and managing your injuries etc and 1 year from start to finish takes roughly 5-6 hours!

    Personally, I played the first 3 seasons legit then used my turbo controller when I had to be away from the console. Set A button to turbo and it will go through a game start to finish in about 15mins. It's a little longer & you will lose by alot (even on Casual). It will even start up the next game if you do not need to make any line-up changes due to rep call-ups or injuries/suspensions.

    I rented the game on release day & finished in 10 days. I won 3 premierships and "won" 4 wooden spoons.

    There's probably a lot more little tips I have forgotten but I will update if I think of any. Also please comment below if you have any questions.

    DeeecoHey man great advice. Just to be a pain you might know, do you have to win the trial games for flawless victory? I'm really hoping not as season one was so boring and I don't seem to have popped it, I'd rather just play the game legit but need that chievo. Really don't wanna do another season of walking every game..

    MaseJBeen awhile since I did it but I would say yes you'd have to win the trial as the season starts from day 1. Sorry you have to go through another season redface

    GetajobMarki found that you can just spectate a game you are able to kinda sim it but you have to watch the game i normally go do something else for 5 minutes or so and come back to continue after half time

    Woodster 86Would the turbo controller affect you making a profit for a season if you lose most of the games?

    MaseJBeen awhile since I played it but I know I used turbo controller for a few seasons not winning a single game. I didn't upgrade any coaching/injury recovery after my flawless season & brought crappy players just to fill positions until the end. Hope this helps.
