The fastest way to get this achievement is to start a career as a player only with your VP pick play as your VP only and try to get your player sent off as quick as you can when he gets sent off it will sim the rest of the match but you will get credit for a game played.

A few tips.

1 You keep getting sent off so they will bench you in the end the better the team the quicker this will happen so pick a low leauge team.

2 Difficulty dosent matter so do it on the lowest because you seem to get more games.Position also dosent matter.

3 When you first start a career for this copy and save this 10-15 times so you have 10-15 different saves when you get benched just swap to a new one.

General tips
It seems to be easier with a keeper but its up to you.
When you get sent off you will not be able to play the next game so instead of advanceing to the next game go to your calender and sim to the day before the next match you will be able to play this will save you some time.
The Onyx KidI'm rather curious if the person who voted negative on this solution (and all the others, as I'm sure it's the same person) is one of those AWESOME "stfu n00b an pl4y t3h gam3 l3git u loooser lol" types. They crack me up consistently!

HeartworksOut of interest, how many many games had you already played with your VP before you started this & then how long did it then take to the 500 games? Wondering how many games per hour!
Posted by Heartworks on 11 Oct 10 at 14:50
BemusedBoxAbout 275 and it took about 10 hours maybe more but i took it easy really i would say you could do 15-25 an hour but i didnt count.
Posted by BemusedBox on 11 Oct 10 at 15:02
The Onyx KidI was averaging about 20 games an hour. I found using a team from the npower League 2 worked best as I NEVER got demoted for getting all the red cards, so I never had to use a different save, which saved a bit of time.
Posted by The Onyx Kid on 11 Oct 10 at 21:12
HeartworksThank you both for the info :)

Clem0I still don't see why people do such boring things for gamerscore? I bet you'd go around killing people if you were offered sex. Maybe I'm just not into as much as you lot but Christ 10 hours for a virtual 100 points with zero fun involved in getting it, it does seem a little sad?
Posted by Clem0 on 16 Oct 10 at 09:49
The Onyx KidI know, right?! Imagine that an ACHIEVEMENT website talks about getting achievements! What next, National Geographic having a show about animals?!?!

drabikI must admit, this does sound like fun! I might try this eventually :P

ManLikeByronJust run to the opposing goal keeper and slide him from behind 2-3 times is the easiest method I've found as their movement is minimal.
Posted by ManLikeByron on 19 Oct 10 at 12:16
ManLikeByronI have 522 games played when I look at my FIFA profile, 96 for my pro club and just over 400 if I sign out of EA and check the stats board. Any idea as to why this has not unlocked?
Posted by ManLikeByron on 20 Oct 10 at 21:14
BemusedBoxI had to play about 30 more games than i thought i needed to and youstaycla55y said it was about 130 more for them.Im not sure but it could be something to do with your online games try another 100 or so and see if it unlocks.
Posted by BemusedBox on 20 Oct 10 at 22:24
drabikOkay, maybe I'm just being stupid, but I can't find the statistics showing total games played. Can someone please tell me where I can find my stats (and be specific, I have looked everywhere - well, clearly not, but you get my drift).
Posted by drabik on 22 Oct 10 at 08:47
BemusedBoxIf you go to my fifa 11 and profile it will tell you how many games played total.
Posted by BemusedBox on 22 Oct 10 at 10:47
The Onyx KidApex - I believe any online games are really glitchy as to if they count or not, I had to do an extra 132 games in VP Mode because of this

drabik - You have to disconnect from EA's servers in order to see your games played. Once you do that, go to the same board that shows "Fastest Goals" and it'll be replaced by your VP Games Played

JustSimply tomI am presuming that you have to play in the 'be a pro' style? you cant play through career as a play but choose to play your matches as the whole team?
Posted by JustSimply tom on 26 Oct 10 at 17:33
Daniel Clancyya... can u just play as whole squad?
Posted by Daniel Clancy on 27 Oct 10 at 11:08
SaltyTONI've been playing through all the other various achievements using Aston Villa with my pro sitting at centre back and controlling the whole team... does this count? If not I don't really care that much, but would be nice to know if they actually counted!
Posted by SaltyTON on 28 Oct 10 at 21:29
MATHlEUCan anyone tell/confirm me if Pro Club matches count towards the 500match achievement? thanks!
Posted by MATHlEU on 19 Nov 10 at 03:42
MitchOssI joined Newcastle United in the Australian A-League.. my pro had an overall of 90+ so i was the best player of the league, therefore i never got put on the bench even once.. I only got suspended for one game after every red card.. I even got a lot of Player of the Week awards lol when i got sent off within 10 mins of the match start.. Try to get higher reputation in the club and otherwise at the end of the season switch to a club where you get to be Captain preferably, or Key Player so the chances of you getting benched during the season is minimal :)
Posted by MitchOss on 20 Nov 10 at 02:15
HurballI feel I should add that your Pro's stats only improve if you're playing Semi-Pro difficulty. Amateur doesn't work - so to avoid possibly having to play 500 more games I'd recommend you put the difficulty to SP and not Amateur, just in case it matters here.
Posted by Hurball on 07 Dec 10 at 15:20
TI DarboThis was a great way to rack up games, i joined shammrock rovers in the irish league they have alot more games than other lower leagues and quick load times compared to others aswell.
Posted by TI Darbo on 11 Dec 10 at 03:21
Medicus PiperDo you have to play as just your pro or is it as long as your pro is on the pitch it counts towards it
Posted by Medicus Piper on 16 Dec 10 at 16:21
BemusedBoxas long as your pro is on the pitch ot will count for the achievement but if you get him sent off it will not sim the rest of the match.
Posted by BemusedBox on 16 Dec 10 at 16:43
tremberzWhen you disconnect from the EA servers and check your games played thats your total offline games, not just virtual pro games. So if your still over 500 then you could've played a few games offline without your pro. I'm currently on 590 overall, and I've played 280 club games and 300 offline. Obviously somewhere I've played a few without my pro, although I should get the achievement soon.

JesticulatorThanks for the solution. Is it OK to overwrite save slots because I have none left?
Posted by Jesticulator on 26 Dec 10 at 22:57
BemusedBoxyes you can
Posted by BemusedBox on 26 Dec 10 at 23:26
JesticulatorAlso, could you just do everything the same as what you did but choose to be a player manager instead? That way you could always pick yourself and then never be dropped?
Posted by Jesticulator on 28 Dec 10 at 20:12
BemusedBoxmaybe i not got the game anymore so carnt check but would you not have to manage the rest of the match even after you get sent off carnt check this so let me know.

Mike United 007does anyone know if the above solution works on FIFA 10 too???
Posted by Mike United 007 on 18 Jan 11 at 13:18
HurballWell, I just lost my entire VP data through no fault of my own. So 250 games have gone up in smoke (the majority of those played properly for other achievements and actual Career Mode play.

Juding from the EA forums this is something that can happen to anyone for no reason, and there's no way to get the data back. At all.
Posted by Hurball on 21 Jan 11 at 19:20
Panzer x360aHey BemusedBox, I was wondering if there is anyway to check your number of games played with your virtual pro, and to see how many are online and how many are offline like you could in FIFA 10.
Posted by Panzer x360a on 31 Jan 11 at 14:14
neeker75It's a brilliant method and credit to whoever found it. But I just didn't want to sim because waiting for the sim to happen on a regular basis puts me to sleep. I just play Be a Pro on Kick Off, on four-minute halves, and then leave the xbox on while I go read a book/ watch a DVD/ earn other achievements on my WP7. I press A at half-time, and "rematch" at full-time. It has been five days and I'm 125 games into it. I'm happy with the progress even though it's a bit slow, still.
Posted by neeker75 on 02 Feb 11 at 03:31
grundog82@Panzer x360a if you dis-connect from xbox live the screen at the very begining were you press start shows games played at the top on the left these are all virtual pro games (online inclusive) then if you go to my fifa 11 then setting and profile then fifa 11 profile and select profile manager the games played stat will be different, these are all the games you have played across all modes. If you want to check how many ranked games you have played select xbox live then my fifa 11 onlinethen player hub and hold left trigger and highlight career stats these are your ranked games. Hope that helps
Posted by grundog82 on 07 Feb 11 at 21:03
ArrKiidEVERYONE MAKE SURE YOU MAKE ANOTHER KEEPER WHO HAS NO STATS WHAT SO EVER! SO MOVE ALL THE STATS DOWN TO 1 AND PUT HIM IN THE SAME TEAM AS YOU VP, WHEN THE KEEPER COCKS UP YOU WILL END UP HAVING TO TO, EVENTUALLY YOU WILL PLAY ONE IN 4/5 GAMES. BUT LIKE BEMUSED BOX SAID MAKE A FEW COPIES AND 10 SAVES IS THE MAXIMUM.
Posted by ArrKiid on 18 Feb 11 at 07:54
SambaDoes it matter if you change between difficultys? PLaying some on semi-pro and some on world class for example. I have played over 400 games, during all of them I have been connected, now I'm going away for 2 weeks and I want to take my game and xbox with me, but there is no connection where I'm going, can I do the last 100 games offline, or will it all be reset?
Posted by Samba on 01 Mar 11 at 10:30
MareisI got this achievement while playing offline, so offline games will count

Mike United 007does anyone know if the above solution works on FIFA 10 too??
Posted by Mike United 007 on 14 Apr 11 at 11:28
BR4NDERDoes anyone know if you can be on amateur for this to work? I am at 530 games now and really don't want to have to play all 500afain on a different setting.
Posted by BR4NDER on 18 Jun 11 at 13:40
Le riPperI have played well over 500 games with my pro on top level and this has not popped for me. Does anyone know if I can do anything to trigger this achievement?
Posted by Le riPper on 09 Jul 11 at 08:02
SemîCan you play as the complete team or, have you to play only with your VP ?
Posted by Semî on 19 Jul 11 at 00:27
UKs panda xi id this and it takes about 10 hours.
Posted by UKs panda x on 02 Aug 11 at 11:10
pezza888Good guide, I'm gonna start doing this, so should I do it on Semi-pro? Just checking... Is there anyone who's got the achievement by playing on amateur?
Posted by pezza888 on 04 Aug 12 at 12:31
pezza888@Jesticulator
No it won't work you end up having to play as the whole team.
Can anyone awnswer my question above?

BemusedBoxplay any level mate
Posted by BemusedBox on 25 Aug 12 at 19:44
LuckyKantThanks for this. I am not looking forward to doing FIFA 10 as that has no glitch... :(
Posted by LuckyKant on 01 Apr 14 at 23:30
pezza888Fifa 10 does have a glitch. And I'm pretty sure you can get 500 games using the glitch on that one. It also lets you get the online achievements I believe.
Posted by pezza888 on 02 Apr 14 at 06:40
LuckyKantsorry pezza, i may have confused you. I am aware if the career mode glitch but i thought it only gave you online achievements, rather than the 500 games played. I was referring to the red card method that is not in 12.apologies.
Posted by LuckyKant on 02 Apr 14 at 10:18
StanleyCup CAPSIf anyone still checks this. I have played 400 matches with my VP. I just finished the ??? full season (lost track of how many seasons I've played) and now at the end of the year they only offer me a Manager position on 5 different teams. What am I supposed to do if I cannot play as a Player anymore? HELP!
Posted by StanleyCup CAPS on 19 Oct 14 at 06:55
StanleyCup CAPSI am probably writing this to myself since nobody is still reading/playing this. However, I just got this achievement today (at 532 games played). What I do not understand now is that I haven't gotten FIFA for Life achievement (50 hours on pitch) yet? How is that possible at 500+ games played? Guh!
Posted by StanleyCup CAPS on 27 Nov 14 at 14:23
LuckyKantOf course. I think I got this first and 50 hours later.

50 hours = 60 mins x 50 = 3000 minutes
Each game takes a max of 2 minutes to get a red card
500 x 2 minutes = 1000 minutes

Hope that helps.
Posted by LuckyKant on 27 Nov 14 at 15:15
StanleyCup CAPSThanks LuckyConquerer2, I will keep on playing to see if I can get this last offline achievement. I wish I could go for any of the online achievements though!
Posted by StanleyCup CAPS on 28 Nov 14 at 12:17
LuckyKantUse the glitch to obtain the online ones.
Posted by LuckyKant on 28 Nov 14 at 12:24
StanleyCup CAPSLucky, I appreciate your responses. I got the FIFA for Life achievement today. I have tried to use the glitch for the online ones but the instructions say you must download the latest squads to do it. How is that possible when the EA servers are no longer available for this game? It always just tells me "the EA servers are not available at this time." What am I supposed to do? Thanks again!
Posted by StanleyCup CAPS on 03 Dec 14 at 03:05
LuckyKantI never used the latest squads so that is nonsense.
