Def Jam Rapstar Trophy Guide & Road Map

 

 

Please Note: The servers for this game were shut down in 2011. If you are starting fresh, then the platinum trophy will not be attainable.

 

 

Overview:

Estimated Platinum Difficulty: 6.07/10

Estimated Time To Platinum: 20-25 Hours

Offline Trophies: 44 (1(P), 3(G), 5(S), 35(B))

Online Trophies: 7 (All (B)’s)

Minimum Number Of Playthroughs Required: 1 (Plus some clean-up trophies)

Do Cheats Affect Trophies?: No Cheats Known

Does Difficulty Affect Trophies?: Yes, there are five difficulty-related trophies ('We Are The Best','Seal The Deal','All Eyez On Me','Perfection Is Perfected', & 'Unstoppable')

Glitched Trophies: None Reported

Missable Trophies: None. You may replay any song after they are unlocked.

 

NOTE:This game requires two microphones & a PS3 Eye to Platinum. Personally, I wouldn’t completely shy away from the game because of that fact, but it is a significant investment of money to Platinum unless you have some good friends or extra peripherals lying around.

 

 

Road Map:

 

 

Introduction:

Welcome to Def Jam Rapstar! To clarify, this game is not a fighting game (like the previous Def Jam titles on various consoles); it is basically a hip-hop/rap version of a Singstar or Guitar Hero/Rock Band type of game. Roughly half of the 45 songs included in the game have actual singing parts in it, but most singing parts are fairly short and easy. The main focus of the game is to keep up with the lyrics, timing, and pitch of several popular songs within the hip-hop genre. If you listen to a lot of hip-hop/rap and are decent at rapping or keeping up with the pace of the lyrics, this game will be a breeze to you. If you are not a fan of hip-hop or at least open to listening to a lot of hip-hop music, I wouldn’t recommend trying to play this game just for the platinum, since it does take a fair amount of practice and memorization of hip-hop/rap music to complete some of the trophy requirements. Overall, this game is nicely done, has a great soundtrack, and is a lot of fun to play with friends.

 

Step 1: Play Career Mode & Finish The Game

I would recommend starting out by playing all of the songs on Hard difficulty in Career Mode since it really isn’t that much more difficult than Easy, but you can choose to play them all on Easy. Either way, you will likely have to replay several songs along the way to get them to an “Off The Chain” rating (5-Mic performances), but playing on Hard in Career Mode will allow you will unlock the majority of the trophies in the game and get very close to the ‘Unstoppable’ trophy (50 “On Point”/3-Mic performances on Hard difficulty). The main goal here by playing Career Mode is to familiarize yourself with the game and try to work toward getting “Off The Chain/5-Mic” performances on every song for the ‘Microphone Fiend!’ trophy (305 Microphones in Career Mode). Along the way, try to pay attention to the songs you are best at performing and keep them in mind for later use in the other steps of the game.

 

Step 2: Clean-Up Career Mode, Challenge, Playlist, & Difficulty Trophies

As described above, this is where you will want to go back and get “Off The Chain” ratings for every song in the game in addition to completing all of the Challenges in the game with 5-Mic ratings to get the ‘Microphone Fiend!’ trophy. As long as you finished the game in Step 1, you will have unlocked Expert Difficulty which will allow you to attempt two additional trophies (‘Seal The Deal’ & ‘All Eyez On Me’) on the song you are the best at. You should finish up two other difficulty-related trophies in this step 'Unstoppable' & 'Perfection Is Perfected', which you may already have if you followed Step 1. Also during Step 2, you should go to Party Mode and line up playlists of 5 and 10 songs you are best at to get the solo playlist trophies (‘Get The Party Started Right’, ‘Chain Reaction’, & ‘Go The Distance’).

 

Step 3: Online & PS3 Eye Trophies

This step is actually quite easy, but can be very time consuming. The first thing you want to do is go to Community at the main screen and Register for a log-in to the Def Jam Community. Once you have that plug in your PS3 Eye and perform your best song on Easy with a 5-Mic performance. Save & Edit the video (which will save only 30-seconds of it) and then Upload it to the Community. This game is actually quite intuitive and it asks you questions every step of the way as long as you have your PS3 Eye plugged in. After getting the first video uploaded (which will give you the ‘World Premiere’ and ‘Immaculately Polished’ trophies), you can simply create and save 14 more “performances” in Freestyle mode (‘Scorch The Booth’, ‘Lyrical Player Pro’ & ‘Hyped Up’). Each of these “performances” can honestly be just 1-second long videos of whatever you want to record (I would avoid profanity though). Record a video of your ceiling fan or something creative and just make sure you Save each of them, add a Video Effect to one for a trophy, and then make sure to Upload 10 of them to the Community for the ‘Aint Scared To Share It’ trophy. Now comes the fun part. After a small gap of time (1-3 hours) from uploading your videos, they should now be viewable out on the Def Jam Community. At this point, you will want to create an XMB sub-account on your PS3 or have a friend load up the game, go out to the Def Jam Community, find your videos via Recent Videos, then rate one of them 200 times with either 4 or 5 stars. After that, you can just pull up your own profile and get your videos to 2000 views total and rate a random one out there for ‘Well Connected’ & ‘You Be The Judge’. Yes, this is extremely time consuming and boring step, but it is the fastest known way to get these trophies (‘Stuntin Is A Habit’ and ‘Presence Of Greatness’). The nice thing is that you don’t actually have to view the video, just pull one up with :cross:, press :circle:, then repeat until your fingers and your brain are both numb.

 

Step 4: Dual Microphone Trophies

These trophies are a little easier than they appear at first glance as well, since you do not need a 2nd player at all, just a 2nd microphone. For the trophies that require beating your “friend”, simply lay the 2nd microphone on the floor and rap your way to easy trophies (‘Playa President’, ‘Towering Over The Competition’, ‘Close Call’ & ‘No Competition’). For the ones where you need a good performance, simply rap into both microphones at the same time (‘We Are The Best’ & ‘Rhymes Are On Time’), but keep in mind you'll need it on Hard difficulty for 'We Are The Best'. Lastly, you’ll need to finish up ‘It Takes Two’ by simply getting to a total of 30 dual microphone performances.

 

Step 5: Clean-Up Any Leftover Trophies

If you have followed the Road Map up to this point you should really only have the ‘Livin Your Life’ trophy left to complete (300 performances across all game modes). For this step, you likely only have to just set up a huge playlist of the shortest songs in the game (“We Fly High” & “Rockwilder”) and surf the Internet for a couple of hours while hitting the :cross: button on your PS3 controller. The nice thing about this game is that you cannot fail a song, so it will always continue to play and count as performances, even if you aren’t singing or rapping. Also, you may need to clean-up a few miscellaneous trophies if you didn’t get them along the way (‘Aint Nobody Dope As Me’, ‘Mic Check One Two One Two’, & ‘I Keep Blowin Up’).

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/14.jpgMicrophone Fiend!http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_gold.png

Accumulate 305 microphones in Career mode

 

This is one of the most difficult trophies in the game to get since it is basically the culmination of the entire Career Mode. The nice thing is that you can play on Easy for all of the songs, although I'd recommend trying them on Hard first so you can get enough performances for the 'Unstoppable' trophy. Basically, you need to get an “Off The Chain” (5-Mic) Performance on every single song and challenge in all 5 Stages of the Game. This is essentially 61, 5-Mic Performances (45 Songs and 16 Challenges).

 

Tips for 305 Mics:

Practice. Seriously. The only ones that really gave me trouble were Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" and the 75 word in a row challenges (Twista, Children's Story). With "Push It", some of the timing with the "Ah, Push It" parts is a little screwy and the song doesn't have that many lyrics in general, which gives little room for error. With the "Ah, Push It" parts, just say it in a louder tone, rather than the almost whispering tone they do in the actual song. It simply takes practice and you'll eventually get it. With the 75-word challenges, this takes a lot of practice and a bit of luck as well. The Twista one can be intimidating, but just practice it enough for the timing and you can mumble a lot of your way through it if you can't keep up with all the words. Just make sure your mumbling is fast enough that it still registers on one of the gold circles. The nice thing about these challenges is that the lyrics and pitch do not matter, it's all about getting the gold circles by any means necessary.

Complete all Career Mode Challenges

 

The challenge trophies will happen naturally while working towards the ‘Microphone Fiend!’ trophy above. All the challenges are basically variations of the songs with a different specific criteria required to finish the song (points, multipliers, timing, multiple songs, etc.).

 

With the 75-word challenges, they just take a lot of practice and a bit of luck as well. The Twista one can be intimidating but just practice it enough for the timing and you can mumble a lot of your way through it if you can't keep up with all the words. Just make sure your mumbling is fast enough that it still registers on one of the gold circles. The nice thing about these challenges is that the lyrics and pitch do not matter, it's all about getting the gold circles by any means necessary.

Save 15 recordings to My Videos

 

Once you have your PS3 Eye plugged in it will automatically record any performance that you do from that point forward. Plug in your PS3 Eye at the main menu, then go to Play, then Freestyle. Here you should pick a beat and it will start recording you. You really only need to record for one second, then press :select:, keep the recording, then press :cross: twice, go to Save & Exit, type in a name “Test1” for example, then press :start:. This will save the recording to your PS3 hard drive. As long as you have created an online account and you are signed into the PlayStation Network, it will ask you if you want to upload the video. You should do this since you will need 10 uploads for the ‘Ain’t Scared To Share It’ trophy anyway. Also, while saving any of the videos you will have the option to add Video Effects. Be sure to do this to one of your videos for the ‘It’s Like Showbiz’ trophy.

Upload 10 videos to the community

 

Once you have your PS3 Eye plugged in it will record videos automatically. Simply Save 10 of your performances or freestyles (1-30 seconds worth) and upload them all to the Community. For ‘Immaculately Polished’, simply pick out your best song, make sure the PS3 Eye is plugged in, perform it, and then upload the video to the Community. It’s best to combine these trophies with the other PS3 Eye Trophies (‘Scorch The Booth’, ‘Lyrical Player Pro’ & ‘Hyped Up’).

 

 

MISCELLANEOUS ONLINE TROPHIES

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/06.jpgYou Be The Judgehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Rate a video on the Community

 

Simply log-in to the Def Jam Community and pick out a random video performance. Pull it up with :cross:, press :square: and Rate it from 0-5 stars. The trophy will pop right away.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/15.jpgWell Connectedhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Watch 50 videos on the Community

 

Simply log-in to the Def Jam Community and pick out a random video performance or one of your own. Pull it up with :cross:, then press :circle: and repeat 49 more times. The trophy will pop right away.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/38.jpgPresence of Greatnesshttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Get an average rating of 4 stars on any video with over 200 ratings

 

This can be self-boosted by creating a sub-account in your XMB. Basically, you have to make sure you have a recent video uploaded with your main account then you need to log into your second account and try to find that video in the Recent Videos section of the Community. There is no search function currently in the Community so you have to just scroll through the Recent Videos section until you find it. They should be in time/date order of when you uploaded it, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find. This gave me a lot of trouble because you have to wait enough time for it to make it out to the community after you've uploaded it, then when I was pulling up the Recent Videos it kept kicking me out of the game and back into the XMB. I'm not sure if it was a traffic issue on the Community or what, but just plan to have a lot of time and patience when attempting this. After about 20 tries/restarts to get to my video, I was finally able to get to it and rate it. Rating it takes a solid 30-45 minutes of pulling up the video with :cross:, then pressing :square:, scrolling to the right so it's 4-5 stars, then pressing :cross: again, back out with :circle:, then repeat. You will get the trophy when you log back into your main account, load up the game, sign into PSN, and go into the Community.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/37.jpgStuntin' is a Habithttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Get a combined 2,000 views for all your uploaded videos

 

This is time consuming, but can be self-boosted very easily on your own account just by clicking on your video in the My Videos section of the Community, by pulling up your video with :cross: and backing out with :circle: over and over again. You do not actually have to view the video; you just have to pull it up and it counts as a view. You will see the view count increase real-time and it will take you about 2 hours of doing this non-stop to get to 2,000 views. The trophy will pop within seconds of getting to 2,000 views.

DUAL MICROPHONE TROPHIES

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/35.jpgWe Are The Besthttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Complete a Duet earning an 'Off The Chain' rating with both players on HARD difficulty

 

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go to Party mode, then pick out your best song, select DUET, select Hard difficulty, and rap into BOTH microphones at the same time. You are trying to get an “Off The Chain” or 5-Mic performance for the trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/44.jpgRhymes Are On Timehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Perform a Battle where both players hit 25 rap targets in a row, at the same time

 

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go to Party mode, then pick out your best song, select BATTLE, and rap into BOTH microphones at the same time. You are trying to hit 25 rap targets in a row (the gold bubbles at the bottom and top of the screen). You can do this on Easy difficulty.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/39.jpgPlaya Presidenthttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Perform a Duet where you score 50,000 points more than your friend

 

Very easy. Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your best song, select DUET, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone. You must beat your opponent by 50,000 points, which should be very easy since the 2nd Player should get 0 points.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/40.jpgTowering Over The Competitionhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Perform a Battle where you score 50,000 points more than your opponent

 

Similar to ‘Playa President’ above. Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your best song, select BATTLE, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone. You must beat your opponent by 50,000 points, which should be very easy since the 2nd Player should get 0 points.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/41.jpgClose Callhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Win a Battle by less than 1,000 points

 

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your best song, select BATTLE, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone for just the first few words. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/45.jpgNo Competitionhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Win all songs in a Battle playlist containing 5 or more songs

 

Make sure 2 microphones are plugged in, go into Party mode, then pick out your 5 best songs, select BATTLE, and rap into ONLY the 1st Player’s microphone for just the first few words of each song and then you can set the mic down. Set the 2nd Player’s microphone on the floor or somewhere further away from where you are. Make sure it is the 1st Player’s microphone you are using because this will not work if you outscore the 1st Player with the 2nd Player’s microphone.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/13.jpgIt Takes Twohttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Perform 30 Battle or Duet performances in Party mode

 

I recommend doing this after completing all of the other trophies which require two microphones (‘Playa President’, ‘Towering Over The Competition’, ‘Close Call’, ‘No Competition’, ‘We Are The Best’ & ‘Rhymes Are On Time’). After completing those, you should have about 20 performances left to do. Simply plug in the second mic and set up a long playlist with a short song like “We Fly High” or “Rockwilder”. Just set the microphones down and let them play while pressing :cross: twice at the end of each song. You cannot fail a song, so no matter how bad you do it’ll still count as a performance. You can also check your progress towards this trophy in the Extras, Player Stats section at the main menu.

See ‘Go The Distance’

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/18.jpgGo The Distancehttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Finish a playlist containing 10 or more songs

 

From the main menu, go to Play, then Party mode. Simply create a playlist by pressing :cross: on a song, then select Add To Playlist from the menu. Add 10 songs that you know you can 5-Mic on Easy difficulty, then press :start: to launch your playlist. The ‘Get The Party Started Right’ trophy will pop within seconds of the first song starting up. It’s best to combine this with the other playlist trophies (‘Chain Reaction’, & ‘Go The Distance’), so I’d recommend picking easy songs to get them all together.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/02.jpgMic Check One Two, One Twohttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_bronze.png

Use an audio effect on any song in any game mode

 

Very easy. Simply assign an effect to :square: before starting a song and press :square: on the PS3 Controller during one of your performances. The trophy will pop right away.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/516/11.jpgSeal the Dealhttp://www.ps3trophies.org/images/site/icons/trophy_silver.png

Earn the DEF JAM RAPSTAR Seal on a song

 

One of the most difficult trophies in the game, as you are required to play on Expert difficulty and achieve an “Off The Chain” or 5-Mic Performance. It is possible to combine this with ‘All Eyez On Me’. My suggestion is to pick your very best song. Personally, I used Method Man & Mary J. Blige’s “You’re All I Need” since the singing parts are so easy it’s like free points.

Get at least 'On Point' on a Solo on EXPERT difficulty with the original vocals turned off

 

Another one of the most difficult trophies in the game, as you are required to play on Expert difficulty with NO LYRICS in front of you. You only have to achieve an “On Point” or 3-Mic Performance though. It is possible to combine this with ‘Seal the Deal’. My recommendation here is to pull up the lyrics on the Internet or Youtube and just rap/sing along. Personally, I used Method Man & Mary J. Blige’s “You’re All I Need” since the singing parts are so easy it’s like free points.

Activate Platinum Power 4 times in one song

 

Fairly simple to get and you will get it while going for the 305 Mics. You just need to activate the 8x Multiplier during a song 4 different times. This is easiest on a longer song, like “Fight The Power”.

Get a 'DOPE' lyric rating on every phrase in a song

 

This can be done on Easy and you may get it on the way to the 305 Mics. Pick your best song in either Career mode or Party mode and do the best performance you can. You can view the details of the song after you are finished to see where you may have missed any Dope lyrics.

Get 90% or above on pitch, timing, and lyrics while playing any song on HARD difficulty

 

This was one of the most difficult trophies for me because you have to pick a song that has some sort of singing in it. I ended up getting it with “Juicy” by The Notorious B.I.G. because there is minimal singing and I could rap that song in my sleep. It is just a matter of time, practice and patience to get it on a song you are good at. I almost got it with Method Man & Mary J. Blige’s “You’re All I Need” since the singing parts are so easy it’s like free points.

Get at least 'On Point' on 50 performances on HARD difficulty

 

If you followed the Road Map above, this should already be done or very close to done. Personally, I just tried every song during the Career on Hard first and if I didn’t get 5-Mics, I re-did the song on Easy. Another way to get this would be just to go to Party Mode, create a playlist and put on the shortest song you can 3-Mic on Hard difficulty over and over again.

Play 300 performances across all game modes

 

I recommend saving this trophy for the very last. Throughout all the performances, 305 mics, etc. you should probably have around 100-150 performances. So, to get the rest of them, simply set up a long playlist with a short song like “We Fly High” or “Rockwilder”. Just set the microphone down and let them play while pressing :cross: twice at the end of each song. You cannot fail a song, so no matter how bad you do it’ll still count as a performance. You can check your progress towards this under Extras, Player Stats at the main menu.

good guide tho the Twista challenge will break alot of ppl goin 4 plat lol, gr8 game tho i plat'd it in Oct & im still playin it... well occasionally, hopefully they keep addin decent DLC and stop favorin the Xbox

 

Thanks PortlandRidah! I got a decent amount still to update with the formatting and the details around some of my tips for the 305-mics, etc. Any feedback or tips that you have would be very helpful, since you are the first person I know to plat this.

 

I agree, the DLC so far is awesome! I'm hoping they'll bring in some more Lil' Wayne and Kanye. :cool:

 

And you're right, the Twista challenge can be very intimidating, but with a little luck and perserverance, anything can be had.

I have some tip(s)

To complete the Timing Challenges (where you have to rap 75 syllables in a row-for the UK it's 21 seconds and Number 1 and for US i think its the Twista track and Children's tune ?) Anyway I found a easy way to get this trophy. As soon the challenge starts, simply say 'Duh' as fast as you can in a row. If you need to breathe, pause it, get your breathe ready then begin again

LOL! I haven't tried this yet, but in theory it might actually work on these because it is not about the Lyrics or the Pitch, it is just literally whether or not you can get the gold circles to register. Good suggestion, I'll give this a shot tonight. Thanks!

Thanks man, hope I helped, just like your guide has helped me. I was wondering though, would it be possible if you could post up the full list of the 85 unlockables, if possible? I've got 83 and I don't know what the hell are the other 2. I've done Career literally to perfection, apart from 5 micing some songs

Thanks for the suggestion and the feedback. I'll see what I can dig up, but there are some unlockables that require 5-mics. But, trust me that when you get Microphone Fiend, you will get this trophy too. Also, keep in mind that you need 5-mics on all of the challenges too, and some of them do have very difficult requirements.

Yeah i got it and Microphone Fiend after doing You're All I Need. But the one that I'm constantly struggling with is Perfection Is Perfect. No matter what I do, I can't seem to nail it 90 or above. Any other advice?

 

P.S. Another tip. If you're struggling to get Close Call trophy, start the song and put both mics down. Then at some point, pick up the 1st player mic and say a word or two of the lyric line. It'll net you about 100 points or so. Then drop the mic and let the song finish and then you'll hear the sexy PING sound lol. Hope I helped

Not much advice I can give other than to keep practicing. Other than the obvious: Make sure you are using a song that has a singing part in it. This one was pretty tough for me too. What I did was set-up a long playlist with my two best songs on it (Juicy & You're All I Need), rotating them back-to-back. Then I just did them over and over again and eventually I got it. I missed this by 1% about five different times before I finally got it.

 

Also, try re-syncing your mic too...

My mic syncing is well, in simple words, retarded. I literally be poking the screen with the mic and nothing happens apart from beeping sounds. Oh well, I'll try your playlist tip though, thanks 4 the help

No problem, man. I agree, the mic sync seems stupid, but I've heard people had problems getting good percentages and this helped them.

All right Captain, i just can't seem to get perfection is perfected. I've been trying method mans you're all i need for two hours and my timing and lyrics are 85 % or above but not 90. For some reason, i say the lyrics right and timing but the game doesn't register it and instead leaves a black rap target. Its getting tedious...

Any better luck today? I find that taking a break and attempting it later or the next day works pretty well. The first night I tried this I couldn't get it for anything, but I got it on like the 3rd try the second day. Maybe there is a song that you are better at? I'm just really good at these two because I grew up listening to them and knew all the words/rhythm/timing already.

Damn, i've been trying so far and have come 1% short of the timing in You're All I Need and about 2% short short of the pitch in Juicy. I'll keep cracking but if I can't get it, I'm resorting to external aid and asking someone to do it in reutn for something

 

EDIT- i got it finally with juicy . Took ages but was worth it. Thanks guys for being supportive

Keep in mind that it sometimes it takes a few hours for the video to post out on the community (typically 1-3 hours). I'd check for it now and see if it's out there. Otherwise, they might be having problems with the server or something...

 

Also, I noticed that sometimes to get the community to pull the most recent videos, you have to quit the game for a while, sign off PSN too, then sign in and pull it back up. I was trying to get to my most recent upload one time and the community wouldn't refresh for me. But, when I quit the game/signed out, then went to my sub-account, it refreshed right away for the second account.
