PS4Trophies Wozamil Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 3- This game is by far the easiest and quickest platinum in the series. There are a couple luck based trophies, but nothing exceedingly rare that it doesn't happen from time to time, especially with specific slider and roster adjustments. But even with needing a little luck, it doesn't mean its hard. You can platinum this in a weekend. Just remember, if you rent this, you will need an online pass that can be purchased from the store for $10. Without it, you won't be able to get 5 trophies.

nyannyanexpress Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 3 seems about right, for the reasons Woz stated. Maybe I'm imagining it, but the timing on the Vita version seems just different enough to mess with you if you have good timing on the ps3 version. I felt like I was holding way back on high 80s or low 90s fastballs, and I'd still be early on some of them. With that said, the Vita version would be like a 3.5 to the ps3 version's 3.

Carter_83 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I gave it a 4. A few trophies were luck based but most were very easy to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKE_7 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I voted 3, would say 3.5, as some of the trophies are luck based, fortunately enough for me, i got those lucky ones (payback time, didn't even break a sweat) out of the way in the first few attempts. The strike out throw out and hail to the chief was probably the two that gave me the most trouble, but overall a pretty easy plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Easy Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I went with an aggregated 5 for the Vita/PS3 plats because of the pure luck of some trophies. The plats have little to do with skill that's why I can't go lower. Trophies I got easy on the Vita took hours on the PS3 and vice versa. Some things were also easier/harder on their respective systems because of screen size, controls, etc. Again, while nothing is hard skill wise the pure luck aspect jumped these games to a 5.

Lok3sh Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 This was much easier than '11. Got plat in 5 days of not much play time every day. Some of the trophies I thought would be the hardest, turned out to be the easiest haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerouacKid Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I gave this a 3. It is not a terribly difficult plat to achieve. However, the Payback & Strike Em Out trophies gave me a bit of trouble. Otherwise, it was a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8rat843 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 3/10 It is not that difficult considering you can put it on Beginner difficulty, but it will take some time to get the luck based trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8erdh36 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Pretty easy platinum. A few were tricky. But was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thePuertoricanboy98 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I give this game an 8/10 because of the insane based luck trophies, OMG I really hate those!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceyice Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) I give this game an 8/10 because of the insane based luck trophies, OMG I really hate those!!!! I agree on the 'luck based' trophies. They are ones that we probably could get 'legit' if playing a 162 game season, excluding the insane '58 pitch' CG. That said, i vote 5because the trophy total is kinda low, plus 'mad scientists' like Wozamil would find a way, which of course he did. None of these are as sickeningly hard 'luck basers' as 'Hamilwho?'or 'Drop it like it's hot' from "Price is right - Decades," though.

rizzledizzle14 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I voted a 3; very painless with Woz's awesome guide. I'd already picked up a handful of trophies by just playing the game when I decided to start the journey to platinum this evening. I didn't think I'd be able to knock them all out in five or six hours, but I was. By downloading the maxxed out rosters and a few slider tweaks, these were no problem. The only time-consuming set were hitting for the cycle in NYM, the four HR game, the HR after IBB, and the 1-2-3 DP. It took 17 innings, 50 walks to keep the game going, getting in a rundown to pick up the triple, an inside-the-parker for the 4th HR, and a 36-35 final score...but I knocked them all out in one epic game. Thanks to Wozamil for all of his help, and to ch2423 for his rosters to help you get Payback Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fancyfox Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Last years game I gave a 5. After getting both plats on PS3 and Vita for MLB 13, I may go with a 4 or 4.5 on this. How these plats are uber rare is crazy since they aren't even hard to achieve. I guess it mainly has to do with people wanting to play a great baseball game and not caring about trophies maybe (I did that with MLB the Show '09)? If you're reading this and you're on the fence about buying because you're not a sports fan, I suggest giving it a try. These games aren't hard at all. They are all luck based or situational based. I'm not even a sports fan but these games are probably in my Top 5 of the best Sony exclusive franchises.

jdh0921 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 4/10 here. Lot of it is luck based. Was very hard to get someone to steal on 2 strikes, for the Strike em out throw em out trophy. Last Trophy was Disrespected. Ended up hitting an inside the park home run at the Polo Grounds to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacon Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I gave it a 6.... as credit extension & strike em out throw em out gave me problems. Other than that it was somewhat easy. Don't get discouraged!! Stick with it & the trophies will happen. I wish I could follow my own advice as I am sitting on 91% for MLB10!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnknown625 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I give this a 3. The trophies themselves don't require much skill but there are several that are very luck based and the Strike Em Out Throw Em Out trophy literally took me five hours to get.

MrMinderbinder Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It seems that most of the people voting a 3 are justifying it by saying this is way easier than earlier versions of MLB The Show. Not having played any of those games, I feel the need to say - this aggregate average of 3 is an extreme underestimate. I feel that a rating of 5 or 6 is much more appropriate. While the skill level required for this game isn't very high, multiple trophies are luck based with extremely low probabilities of success. Four or five trophies took me more than five hours apiece. While this game isn't nearly as aggravating as, say, The Price is Right Decades, it will cause enough frustration to turn away most trophy hunters. I mean... the completion rate for the plat, according to PSNP in June 2014, is less than 2%. If you believe there is more to a game's difficulty rating than skill (like grind length, luck, bad programming, poor online servers, etc.), this game is definitely not a 3.

Agreed. I gave it a 4. Much more luck-based than Madden 13 (Vita) - which is my closest comparable. Inducing an intentional walk requires a very specific set of circumstances. The beaned-pitch & HR or strike/throw trophies you can at least set things up to generate many chances, but an intentional walk is brutal. I got extremely lucky with that one, but can still recognize how brutal it is, especially for an MLB noob like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyoder Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I think I earned about half of the trophies in 2013, then the other half in the last few days. I'd give it a 4 based on my success the past few days, but a couple years ago some of these gave me fits, so I bumped it up to a 5. Not attainable any longer to anyone who hasn't gotten the online trophies, and I thought MLB 12 was an easier plat, but anyone who (like me) maybe earned the online trophies and some others a year or two ago but still has some cleanup to do for plat, this is pretty doable. Frustrating at times when the CPU seemingly just won't cooperate (damn that "Disrespected") but it was nice to see the plat finally pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
