Introduction:

 

This guide is written for the PS3 version. The Vita version has 8 different trophies that are not part of the PS3 version and you can view that guide here: Vita Guide

 

Unlike previous years, this Platinum requires no online games. You do, however, need to be online to redeem the online pass to access Diamond Dynasty. Diamond Dynasty is a new game mode that uses collectible cards to field a team of players. You can complete the games online or offline against the CPU.

 

There are a few things you should do and be aware of before starting that will make this platinum much easier.

 

Roster Setup

The first thing you should do is edit two teams. Give one team maximum stats for it's 8 starting position players and a starting pitcher and reduce all the stats of another team. This will make many of the trophies much easier. You can edit teams under the options menu, then selecting "Edit Player". After you have edited the rosters, make sure you save it in a new save slot so you can call upon it as often as you need it. This will be helpful in pitching a perfect game. Also, you can use that poorly edited team as your opponent when going for Everyone's a Winner.

 

Gameplay Settings

Another menu you need to be familiar with is the Gameplay options. This is found under Options>User Settings>Gameplay. This can also be adjusted whilst in games. This is where you will change hitting difficulty and the hitting interface. Press :r1: and from here you can change the pitching difficulty as well as the pitching interface. I recommend setting presentation to Fast Play to make the games shorter in length to complete. A few trophies will require you to use certain options that are found in this menu. You can change several other game related settings from here, none of which effect trophies.

 

Slider Adjustments

The final and most important thing to know is that sliders can be used and adjusted to customize a gameplay experience to your skill level. A lot of trophies are made easier with specific slider adjustments. You can change the sliders within options menu from the main menu or anytime during the game. Think of these as cheats. They greatly improve your abilities while decreasing the CPU's, which creates an unbalanced experience. I highly suggest only adjusting them for the purpose of getting the trophies as quickly as possible and not for normal playing. When the trophy descriptions call for certain types of slider adjustments, refer to these:

These Affect You

 

  • Human Contact

  • Human Power

  • Human Timing

  • Human Sold Hits

  • Human Starter Stamina

  • Human Pitcher Control

  • Human Foul Frequency

These Affect the CPU

 

  • CPU Contact

  • CPU Power

  • CPU Timing

  • CPU Solid Hits

  • CPU Pitcher Control

  • CPU Pitcher Consistency

  • CPU Strike Frequency

  • CPU Pickoffs

  • CPU Foul Frequency

Global (Affect both Teams)

 

  • Fielding Errors

  • Throwing Errors

  • Fielder Run Speed

  • Fielder Reaction

  • Baserunner Speed

  • Baserunner Steal Ability

Walkthrough:

 

Step 1 - Exhibition

Nearly all the trophies in this game can be earned playing Exhibition games. The main goal is to go after Everyone's A Winner. This will require you to play and win a game with every team. You must play a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game. This means you can't fast forward, change teams or save. While playing and winning with each team, try to knock out as many of the trophies along the way. There is no order in which they can be achieved, and there are multiple ways to earn many of them. Play all your games at the new Marlins Park until you have unlocked Fish off a Barrel.

 

 

Step 2 - Home Run Derby

You will need to hit 10 home runs in a row to unlock Winning, this will most likely prove to be one of the hardest trophies in the game. There are also four trophies for hitting various targets in four different stadiums. Home Run Derby is the best mode to hit these targets. There is one additional target you must hit in Miami for Fish off a Barrel that is not ideal to attempt while in Home Run Derby as it is located behind home plate.

 

 

Step 3 - Diamond Dynasty

This step isn't as hard as you probably think it is. Collector and Masterpiece will only take five minutes of your time. Make sure to check the guide first before making any moves with your cards. Once you get those two trophies out of the way, play five games versus other players online or offline against the CPU for the A Year in the Life trophy. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

 

After you've completed all these steps, the (P) will be yours!

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/2D1.jpg(P)Congratulations!

You got all of the MLB® 12 The Show™ Trophies!

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/592.jpg(G)Million Dollar Arm

In any game mode, throw a perfect game against a CPU controlled team. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game.

 

This requires you to throw a perfect game. This means you can not give up a single hit, walk or allow a Runner to get on via an error. You will have to start over if a Runner reaches base at any time.

 

You also must play a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game. This means no fast forwarding, no changing teams and no saving. You can pause and change sliders or other adjustments.

 

The easiest way to get this is to edit your team, especially the starting pitcher and your teams defense. Also, completely decrease your opposing teams stats before you start. Adjust sliders for a pitching edge, decrease the CPU's hitting sliders and adjust fielding sliders. You should try to get this during your 30 games needed for Everyone's a Winner.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/162.jpg(G)Winning

Hit 10 consecutive home runs in Home Run Derby™.

 

Using your favorite power hitter, hit 10 home runs in a row during Home Run Derby. Edit the player to have max power if they don't already have it. This is all based on your timing ability. To make it a little more difficult, not every pitch will be ideal. There is a certain amount of luck involved but you can increase that by laying off those low or outside pitches. I highly recommend going into the audio settings once in the game and turn off the PA announcer.

 

Also, the final contestant only plays until he has reached 10 outs or has the high score. If you are on your last contestant, restart the entire event as it's possible the game would end in the middle of your streak. There's debate on whether or not the field you choose has any bearing on the success of this trophy but if you want the one with the shortest dimensions, select the minor league park Stomp Ground.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/E6B.jpg (G)King Slayer

In Exhibition Mode, beat the team that is ranked first overall in the team select screen with Pitching and Batting difficulties set to Legend. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game.

 

During the team select menu, you will see each teams overall rating. Find the number one team, which as of this posting, is the Yankees if you have the default roster. You should edit their lineup but please note, if you reduce their stats, they may no longer be the number one rated team.

 

To successfully make the team bad, increase other stats that are less meaningful. For example, if you decrease their entire starting lineups power, you will need to increase baserunning or bunting to compensate. You can also increase relief pitchers stamina and increase the entire starting pitchers to max to further reduce the stats of their starting lineup.

 

Once you have done that, you can feel free to edit the team you choose to play. As long as your teams overall rating is not the top, you should have a huge advantage. When you play the game, you will have to make sure your batting and pitching difficulties are set to legend. Adjust sliders even further to give you an even bigger advantage. Make sure you do not fast forward, change teams or save.

 

Note: You must start the game with difficulty set to legend. If you change it after entering the game, you will have to restart the game. Crazy-TrainZ28 adds that you can also play as the All-Star team.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/337.jpg(G)Everyone's a Winner

Win a game with every MLB® team. Must be done in full, uninterrupted, 9-inning games.

 

This requires you to play and win a game with each of the 30 Major League teams. To make it easier, you can edit a team to be horrible and you should be able to win against it with any of the 29 other teams. You will also have to play and win with that horrible team, so make sure you don't use the edited version of it. Change the presentation to Fast Play on the gameplay menu to speed the games up.

 

While going for this trophy, play all your games in Miami until you unlock Fish off the Barell. You should be able to unlock the majority of the trophies while going for this.

 

Bud20078 has created a checklist that can be found at the end of this guide.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/ABE.jpg(S)Contact Killer

In any mode excluding RttS, play an entire 9 inning game without striking out. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game against a CPU controlled team.

 

To make this easy, edit your players to have high contact and adjust sliders for contact. You do not have to win this game. Just complete it without striking out. To make this even easier, edit the opposing teams starting pitcher and make all his pitches the same speed which you achieve by adjusting his velocity in the pitch. An 80mph fastball and change up will look the same to you and you won't be fooled into swinging early or late

 

Increasing your Foul Frequency slider will also help you foul off a close pitch instead of swinging and missing. Decreasing the Pitch Speed slider will give you more time to judge if pitches will be a strike or not. Also, increase the CPU's Strike Frequency.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/770.jpg (S)Quality Start

Throw more than 70% first pitch strikes in a complete game victory. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game against a CPU controlled team.

 

Simply throw a strike to start off every batter. You can miss a few but as long as you throw a first pitch strike to 70% of the batters in an uninterpreted game, you will get this trophy. Change pitching to rookie and choose the pitching controls you are most familiar with.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/5BE.jpg(S)Meatball Buffet

Bat around in an inning. Must be completed on All-Star or higher Batting difficulty. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game against a CPU controlled team.

 

Batting around in an inning requires you to send 10 men to the plate. If the batter who leads off the inning gets up to bat once again, this trophy will pop. You will need to set the hitting difficulty to All-Star but you can select whichever hitting controls is easiest for you. For most, that will be "Timing" Controls. Use an edited team with max batting stats to help make this much easier along with the appropriate sliders. Chances are, if you do this within the first 3 innings, you will also probably unlock Early Exit.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/C30.jpg (S)Slinging in the Rain

Play a full game in the rain without making an error.

 

While setting up a game, you are given an option to select weather and number of innings. Just select raining and finish the game without making an error. You can change sliders to reduce errors and edit your in-field, including your catcher and pitcher, to improve throwing accuracy and overall fielding skills.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/41D.jpg (S)Don't Phase Me Bro

In any game mode, hit a home run off a 100+ MPH pitch. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

You will need to face off against a power pitcher or edit one. You're more likely to get a 100mph pitch after the pitcher first enters the game. Edit a starting pitcher to give him max fastball stats and reduce the other pitches stats. Unless the fastball is thrown in the lower portion of the strike zone, most likely it will be 100mph. Using Guess Pitch, just wait for the heater. Play as the road team and if you fail in the first inning, just restart the game until you get it.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/E57.jpg(S)Early Exit

In any game mode, knock out the opponent's starting pitcher before the end of the 3rd inning. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

Simply score enough runs in the first three innings that the opposing manager puts in a relief pitcher. This shouldn't be too difficult if you use all your sliders to your advantage by increasing your abilities and decreasing your opponents. If you still have difficulties, edit the stats of your team to max. You can also change the manager hook slider to increase the chances of the manager pulling the pitcher.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/7B8.jpg(S)Squeezeball

In any game mode, win the game with an RBI bunt. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game against a CPU controlled team.

 

This can be a pain in the butt because if you fail, you will have to start the entire game over. As the Home Team, play to a tie score heading into the 9th. During the ninth inning, get a Runner to third base and have the following batter place down a drag bunt using :triangle: just after the pitch is released. If you feel good about being able to bunt the next pitch, you can put on a suicide squeeze by stealing right before the pitch with :l2:. That will usually result in a game winning bunt. The one thing you want to be careful of is avoiding a game ending walk off Home Run. If you fail to score, just simply hold the opposing team in the next half inning and try again.

 

Increasing your Baserunners speed by editing your players speed and adjusting the Baserunners sliders will make this much easier as well as increasing your teams bunting skills.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/D84.jpg(B)Zone Plus Analog Blast

With hitting difficulty set to All-Star or harder, hit a home run using Zone Plus Analog controls. This trophy is not unlockable in Home Run Derby™ modes.

 

Zone Plus Analog uses the :rs: to adjust your players stride as well as the :ls: to place the location of your swing. This takes a little practice to get down. You will have to pull the the right stick :rsdown: then push it back up :rsup: to swing. It takes a little while to get it down and the timing is different for each pitch. You will also need to push the :ls: towards the area where the ball will be when you swing.

 

For fastballs, I quickly push :rsdown: right as the pitcher is releasing the ball, then :rsup: to swing. For off speed pitches, you'll need to start a little later. I recommend using guess pitch and location and sit on that pitch if you are not experienced with this control type. If you guess location low and are correct, move the :ls: down slightly. Make sure you are set at All-Star hitting difficulty and ZPA for controls.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/768.jpg (B)Pulsating

With the pitching difficulty set to All-Star or higher, use Pulse Pitching to strike out the side. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

This is an easy trophy. Set your Pitching difficulty to All-Star and select Pulse Pitching controls. Simply strike out three batters in one inning. It doesn't matter how many hits or runs you give up, as long as you strike out three batters in a single inning, you will get this trophy. If the opponent hits a popup, just let the ball drop. Have your in-fielders hold the ball when hit at them.

 

Pulse Pitching is the new control type and uses a pulsating circle for pitch accuracy. Simply select your pitch type you want to throw and press :cross: when the circle is at it's smallest point.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/A06.jpg (B)Back, Back, Back, Back, Back...

Hit a home run of 490ft or more in Home Run Derby™.

 

Make sure you use a player with max power. Simply keep playing the Home Run Derby and you will eventually hit a 490ft Home Run. This distance isn't very common so stick with it and you will get it. I found the best stadium to do this in was Coors Field (Colorado Rockies). The ball has a tendency to carry. Hit the ball perfectly to dead center and you should get this.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/B4F.jpg (B)Run Benjie, Run!

Steal a base with a player whose primary position is Catcher. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

Edit any catcher to have max speed and baserunning ability and then increase baserunners speed sliders. It will also help to decrease CPU's pickup frequency. You can also edit the catchers arm strength and accuracy if needed. Start a game as the road team and put your catcher in the lead off spot. Simply get him on base and attempt a steal. First, lead off the base by tapping :l1: once and then hit :l2: before the pitch to send the runner. If you fail to steal the base, restart the game.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/F59.jpg (B)In The Bag!

As the batter, hit 1st, 2nd, or 3rd base with the ball. Trophy is not achievable in Home Run Derby™ or Challenge of the Week.

 

This is a trophy that will come over time. You'll need to hit the ball and have it hit the base. This is somewhat of a luck based trophy but you can increase the chances by swing for contact :circle:. Also, don't play with max power sliders. Lower your power sliders and increase your contact to increase your odds. If you don't get this during your 30 games for Everyone's a Winner, you can play exhibition games and fast forward to your at-bats.

 

Project Nemesis posted these slider adjustments that people seem to have better luck with when using a contact swing :circle::

 

My sliders had contact 9/10, power 2/10, solid hits 8/10, foul balls 3/10. You definitely don't want maxed out power when going for this since you will most likely hit the ball over the bag or hard enough that it bounces over the bag. Many of mine were hard grounders through the in-field using this setup.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/6EA.jpg (B)Cruzball

Playing as the pitcher in any game mode, intentionally walk a batter, then turn a double play. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

With less than two outs, intentionally walk a batter by hitting :l1: + :circle:. Then induce a double play with the next batter. If you fail to turn the double play, just intentionally walk the next batter and try again. Throwing pitches low in the zone increases the odds of the ball being hit on the ground, hopefully at one of your in-fielders.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/5FB.jpg (B)Plowman

As a baserunner, plow the catcher. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

To plow the catcher, press :rsdown: when the catcher is in position. If the catcher is not in position, you will run past home plate instead of colliding. If your baserunning is set to auto, you will not be able to initiate the collision, however, the computer controlled baserunner may still plow the catcher and earn you the trophy. Advance your runner around third base every chance you get.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/638.jpg (B)"RESPECT THE GAME!"

In any game mode, enter a game with a mismatching uniform.

 

This is the first trophy you can earn. When starting up a game, you will be asked to select the uniform top and bottom. Select either a Home or an away jersey, then select the opposite pants.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/41F.jpg (B)Free Baseball

In any game mode, win a game in extra innings.

 

Simply finish the 9th inning with a tied score to go into extra innings. Simply end up winning the game and this trophy will be yours.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/C22.jpg (B)Don't Try That Again

On defense, throw a runner out at 3B or home plate from the outfield. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

This will most likely occur several times while playing and winning as every team. The CPU has a tendency to sometimes run from first to third on a hit that you can easily throw out the opposing runner from the outfield. If you throw out a runner from the outfield at either third base or home plate, this will be yours.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/137.jpg (B)Sombrero Dealer

In any mode, strike out the same player four times in a game. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

 

You can play on any difficulty and use any control scheme. Just strike out a single player four times. If you don't care about winning the game, you can always just intentionally walk the opposing teams players until you get to the one you are trying to strike out four times to speed things up.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/C6B.jpg (B)Vulture a Win

In any mode, blow a save and get the win with the same pitcher. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game against a CPU controlled team.

 

Head into the 9th with a one run lead. Put in your closer and give up just one single run. In your next at bat, take the lead without replacing that pitcher and hold on for the win.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/EFD.jpg (B)The Old Fashioned Way

In any mode, earn a save by having your reliever pitch the last 3 innings of a win. Must be done in a full, uninterrupted, 9 inning game against a CPU controlled team.

 

A three inning save requires you to put in a Reliever in the 7th inning with a lead of any size. It could be one run, or ten runs. As long as you put the reliever in at the beginning of the 7th inning and he finishes the game without giving up the lead, you will get this trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/820.jpg (B)You Blew It

In any mode, blow your opponents save opportunity. Must be done against a CPU controlled team.

This requires you to be down by at least one run heading into the 9th inning and tying the game. You do not have to win the game, just blow the save chance from the opposing pitcher.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/0CA.jpg (B)Boom Goes the Dynamite

In any game mode, hit a home run with your first batter of the game.

 

At the lineup screen before the game, move your best hitter into the lead off spot. Using all the sliders to your advantage, wait for your best pitch, and deliver it over the outfield fence. Play as the road team that way if you fail, you can quickly restart the game and try again.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/9E8.jpg (B)Loud and Clear

Hit a home run into the speaker in center field at Dodger Stadium™. (LAD)

 

You will have no problem finding this speaker at Dodger Stadium but you will notice that it's pretty narrow. Hitting it will require a deep blast to dead center without being to far left or right. Grab your favorite power hitter and take to Home Run Derby to make this easier.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/92B.jpg (B)Go Chasin' Waterfalls

Hit a home run into a waterfall at Kauffman Stadium™. (KC)

 

Kauffman Stadium is home of the Royals and the 2012 All-Star game. Just left and right of dead center field are where you will find these waterfalls. Just keep hitting the ball out that direction and this trophy will eventually pop. It may take a few hits of the waterfall as it doesn't always register as being hit. Again, tackle this in Home Run Derby.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/0F2.jpg (B)Texas Two-Step

Hit a home run onto Greene's Hill in CF at Rangers Ballpark In Arlington™. (TEX)

 

This is a can't miss. There is a huge grassy area in center field at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington that is begging you to play Home Run Derby with your favorite hitter. Simply hit the grass and this is yours.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/9C7.jpg (B)Deep Dish

Hit a home run into the Bullpen Sports Grill in rightfield at U.S. Cellular Field™. (CWS)

 

Unlike the other Home Run trophies before this one, this will require a ball pulled down the right field line and even then just barely over the fence. That's where you will find this Sports Grill. It's easiest achieved with a power hitting left-hander.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/071.jpg (B)Fish off a Barrel

Hit the aquarium behind home plate at Marlins Park™. (MIA)

 

This is the most unique locational trophy in The Show series. Unlike all the other ones from this game and previous years, the object you need to hit is behind home plate. As such, playing this in the Home Run Derby is not the best method.

 

You will locate these to the left and right of the backstop right behind home plate. It requires you to hit a foul ball back to reach this. This is one of those trophies where you should just play naturally and it should eventually come on it's own. The best plan is while you are going for Everyone's a Winner, select the Marlins Park to play in. This will give you 30 full game chances to foul tip a ball into the aquarium.

 

Increasing the Foul Frequency slider will increase the number of fouls on borderline swings.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/9F5.jpg (G)Collector

In Diamond Dynasty mode, acquire one of every card type. (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, MLB)

 

You field a team based on cards you own. There are MLB player cards, and four custom player card rarities. Acquire one of each for this trophy.

 

The fastest and easiest way to do this is to access Buy/Sell/Manage. Send 2 gold cards to the recycler to get a platinum card. Recycle two silver cards to get a gold card. Go down to the recycler and select recycle cards. Trophy will pop after you do this.

 

Thanks to darthxenu for this tip.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/D9D.jpg (S)A Year in the Life

Play through one season (5 games) in Diamond Dynasty mode.

 

Each season in Diamond Dynasty mode is 5 games. Just play one season and you can complete the season by playing online against other players or, choose to compete against a CPU controlled team. You can get this trophy without winning a game, just simply complete the season.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1267/584.jpg(B)Masterpiece

Create a Diamond Dynasty team and custom logo including at least 20 layers.

 

From the Diamond Dynasty menu, go to team customization and select logo editor. Simply create 20 different layers of art (letters, shapes, etc.). Once you've done this, save your changes and the trophy will unlock.

Great guide!

I just started playing this and read that I should play at Marlins park to get the Fish off a Barrel trophy, weird thing is that it popped up for me without hitting a foul ball as I just started the 2nd inning. I think it could be glitched and will pop up when it wants, or well I just got lucky on this. :p

You guys are awesome. Thank you.

 

Btw what is the best park to go for the home runs?? Short Walls and least distance??

I've uploaded my roster file name olympiakosnyc and it has the Miami marlins totally maxed out and the Texas rangers hitters all at 0 overall if anyone wants to download it.

 

And I dont need it but maybe adding a checklist of the 29 teams for people too lazy and incapable of doing a google search.

You guys are awesome. Thank you.

 

Btw what is the best park to go for the home runs?? Short Walls and least distance??

 

Most definitely Coors Field. Playing in the other stadiums, I was probably only hitting 460 max with unedited Jose Bautista. But once I started playing on Coors Field, balls were flying left and right. I was able to hit 494 feet dead to center field with him not too long after playing there. Also hit 9 straight with him as well during the same at-bat. Messed up my 10th homerun attempt because my phone decided to give me a heart attack.

 

:rant::p

 

I've uploaded my roster file name olympiakosnyc and it has the Miami marlins totally maxed out and the Texas rangers hitters all at 0 overall if anyone wants to download it.

 

And I dont need it but maybe adding a checklist of the 29 teams for people too lazy and incapable of doing a google search.

 

I will have to check these out. Thanks dude.

Great guide Wozamil, want to thank you for it, as well as the ones you have done prior.

 

Just a few points I would like to state:

 

For "Million Dollar Arm" it will be best to create a starter using 'create a player' and adding it to the defensively upgraded team. You can max out the stats and select the pitch arsenal you want to use. I have not got the trophy yet (Tried twice, first time I gave up a 1 hit, second time I got myself a no-hitter cause I walked someone in the 6th); but because I only got a few hours with the game, I think Im on the right track to getting it soon.

 

For "Everyone's a Winner" you can probably do it against AA teams in exhibition (At least I think that would count...)

 

For "Squeezeball" I think drag bunting will be a better alternative. So instead of putting down the bunt right away. You drop the bunt right when the pitch hits the plate (With the runner on third coming home of course). This way, the ball drops to the 1st base side of the infield forcing the catcher or pitcher to field it.

 

Again, great guide and thanks for it!

small edit

 

Step 1 - Exhibition

Nearly all the trophies in this game can be earned playing exhibition games. The main goal is to go after Winning.

 

Needs to be changed to Everyone's A Winner

 

Oops. My bad. There's also a small number of typos but haven't gone through it yet to clean it up yet.

For King Slayer I used the Detroit Tigers to beat the Yankees. I only adjusted the sliders in my favor and won quite easily. It seems as though Legend difficult is much easier this year than in previous years of The Show. For more skilled players, maybe you don't have to do all that roster edit. Just saving everyone some time :)

That's good to hear. I'll give it a shot when I play as the Tigers for winning with every team trophy. :)

 

Also, good to see another Boston fan. :hug:

We have to have some support on these forums, especially for MLB! C'mon now Red Sox Nation! Stand up! By the way, excellent job on the rough draft of this guide Woz/jmowen. Already got 65% of the trophies with their methods. Glad we're not diving in foul territory this year! :thumbsup:

I'm not a Red Sox fan, but I will become one if Theo takes the Cubs to the World Series. The guide is pretty much done. I'll just hold off submitting it for a little while as someone is bound to find a better method on a trophy, like it happens every year.

 

As for the trophies, they are extremely easy this year compared to previous editions. I just need to play the rest of the teams and do the online DD trophy. I would vote a 4, if there was a difficulty poll. Which reminds me....
