Trophy Breakdown

(B) -22 (S) – 15 (G) – 3 (P) – 1

Introduction

 

Nascar 2011: The Game is the first attempt at a Nascar game by developer Eutechnyx and the first Nascar game in three years. The game can be adjusted to your comfort level as difficulty does not affect trophies. Most trophies are very easy to obtain with time and effort. This is my first attempt at a guide so there may be several corrections along the way. This guide was written by a Nascar fan who experienced in explaining the sport to people who know little to none about the sport.

 

 

General Tips

 

Corner Entry: Brake early and accelerate when you feel you can make the turn while staying in the bottom part of the turn. Over driving a turn and heading for the wall will cost you time on the track and possibly wins. Remember, “Easy in, hard off.”

 

Rewind: The game features a rewind feature by pressing select. Use it only if you REALLY screw up because you can gain extra NXP (experience) by finishing races without using it.

 

Online: The online trophies can be boosted with just one person in a private race. If you don’t want to deal with public races and wreckers I recommend this.

 

Pitting: Every track has a different pit road speed so keep this in mind when pitting. You can adjust the settings so you won’t need to pit but will have to eventually for mastering all tracks.

 

Skill Level: Adjust the AI to your comfort level. If you want quick trophies with no threat for the AI use the “rookie” skill level.

 

 

Road Map

 

Step 1 Career Mode: Start with the career mode. Focus on winning all poles, all wins, and winning all the NXP invitational events. This will help you towards your 200 wins, NXP levels, and obtaining the Nascar pins. I recommend racing on at least 5% race length to acquire more NXP per race. Focus on obtaining these trophies: NXP Challenge, Tailgating, VIP, Sprint To The Finish, Run The Gauntlet, The Champ is Here!, Saddle Up and Hang On, Victory Lane, Race to the Chase, Cup Contender, Any Place, Any Time, MVP, and Series Champion.

 

Step 2 Online Mode: Now focus on the online part. I recommend boosting to finish as quick as possible. You only need one partner and can use a private race. Focus on these trophies: Finishing In First!, Give me Four, Lets Go Racin Boys’, Up On the Wheel, Rubbin is Racin!, Pedal to the Metal, Race Rivalry, and Pit Perfection.

 

Step 3 Track Mastering: This is the most time consuming part. You must win 5 poles, 5 wins, 5 consecutive laps lead, 5 fastest laps, 5 pit stops, 5 rival victories, and run a lap under a certain time for all 27 tracks. I recommend doing two lap races against one opponent on rookie to achieve this. You will have to increase laps when you attempt the pitting part. Just pit and take two tires then go back into the pits the next lap. Do this 5 times for the pitting part.

 

Step 4 Mop Up: Grind out the remaining races you need with a two lap race at Bristol. Grind out any XP needed. Obtain any missing trophies.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/20.jpgCar Stylist l (B)

Create a custom Paint Scheme.

 

Very easy trophy. In the main garage, select car, then design. A blank car will be shown. Just save that car and the trophy will unlock. No designing is required.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/21.jpgLast Man Standing l (B)

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/24.jpgFinishing in First! l (B)

Win a race crossing the line in first gear.

 

I recommend boosting this with a partner. If running a manual transmissions shift to first gear and cross the finish line for the win. If using an automatic transmission slow down till you are first gear and inch across the line to unlock this trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/25.jpgGive me 4 l (B)

Perform your first 4-tire pit stop in any race.

 

Simply pit and select four tires for this trophy to unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/26.jpgHotrod l (B)

Create a custom tuning setup.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/27.jpg“Let’s Go Racin Boys” l (B)

Simply take part in an online race. The trophy will unlock while driving.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/28.jpgUp on the Wheel l (B)

Lead 5 consecutive laps in an online race.

 

Lead five laps in a row in an online race. This can be boosted with a partner in a private race.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/29.jpgRubbin is Racin! l (B)

Race online at every track.

 

The easiest way is to boost with a partner in a private race and just go through the list of tracks. Race one track, finish and then back out and select the next track and re-invite your partner. The stats menu does NOT keep track of this, so you will have to keep a list of tracks you have and have not raced.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/30.jpgPedal to the Metal l (B)

Achieve the fastest lap of the race during an online race.

 

Run the fastest lap on any track for any race. You must have fastest lap by your name in the results screen for this to unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/31.jpgWin on Sunday, Sell on Monday l (S)

Win a race in all brands of car.

 

Go to single player and select of the four brands of cars which are Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota. Paint schemes can be divided by manufacturer. Win a race with each manufacturer to unlock the trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/32.jpgStyling ‘N’ Profiling l (B)

Win a race with a personalized Paint Scheme.

 

Go into car design and save the blank car, you don't need to change anything. Now use this car to win a race and the trophy is yours.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/33.jpgPit Perfection l (S)

Perform a 4-tire pit stop, and go on to win the race. (Online Only)

 

This is best boosted with a partner in a private race. Pit during the race, change four tires and win the race to unlock this trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/34.jpgRide in Style l (S)

Collect 88 Paint Schemes by racing in Invitational Events and reaching rank 29.

 

You earn paint schemes by leveling up and achieving every objective in the invitational events. Once you have unlocked 88 schemes the trophy will unlock. Note: To unlock the last three Mark Martin paint schemes enter the code Down (2), Up (2), Right, Left, Right, Left at the main garage menu. This will open a text box. Type in “godaddy.com” (Without quotes) to unlock the final paint schemes.

 

Note: Several people have reported missing at least 1 paint scheme without missing the criteria. Not sure what causes this to glitch at this time.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/35.jpgGroovy l (B)

Master a track. Complete all the objectives on a Master the Track card.

 

In single player, there will be a card with objectives to complete at each track. The objectives are win 5 poles, five wins, 5 consecutive laps lead, 5 pit stops, 5 rivalry wins, 5 fastest laps, and a lap under a certain time for each track. Simply master one track to unlock this trophy. Previous wins and other stats count towards mastering so I would save these two trophies for last.

 

Here is a helpful glitch for mastering the tracks. Credit DALEshakeNbakeJR for bringing this to my attention.

 

I may have discovered something fellas, and it might be an exploit. So as you might have seen in my rant, I lost everything. I am flying through campaign to unlock the invintationals again. When Watkins Glen popped up, I didn't qualify. Since I had the point lead by 600, I decided to throw the race.

 

I would start in 43rd and mash the gas on the outside going into turn 1. This would cause a caution. I repeated 3 more times, and the race ended under caution (I placed 2nd by the way, lol). When I was looking for the Atlanta master time, I scrolled right, and to my MAJOR disbelief, Watkins Glen's lap time of 1:13.XX was checked off.

 

This is the only time i have even touched watkins, and i didn't even complete an entire lap. I am trying to see if this turn 1 caution thing is working on other tracks, if so, I may have landed an awesome discovery !

 

Still isn't going to help on the gold times for inventational events unfortunately.

 

UPDATE: I tried the plow method on Daytona, Pocono, and Infineon. And odd enough, Infineon also got a star under the master the track card. This is not much proof, but I assure you these are hard ones to legitamently do, so test it out and see if it works for you

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/36.jpgSurfin’ USA l (S)

Master every track in the game.

 

Same as groovy but you must master all 27 tracks for this to unlock.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/37.jpgName to Remember l (S)

Unlock every Gold Legends Coin in the game.

 

You earn these coins in NXP invitational events. Simply draft the drivers in that race for a short period of time each to unlock their coin. Once you have all the coins the trophy is yours.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/38.jpgBoy Scout l (G)

Unlock every Nascar pin in the game.

 

Pins are earned by leveling up, completing every objective in NXP races, and mastering every track. Once you have maxed out all three of those you should have all the pins and the trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/39.jpgCelebration Shot l (B) (H)

Take and save a photograph of the driver celebrating on the car after Career Mode race win.

 

After you win a career mode race and your driver is on the car celebrating. Press start and select photo mode. Now take a picture of him and save it to your PS3 to unlock this trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/40.jpgKingly l (S)

Defeat Richard Petty’s race win record of 200 wins.

 

Win 201 races. Career, single player, and online all count towards this trophy. You can keep track of your wins in the stats menu under driver. Most likely you will need to boost some more wins. I did 2 lap races at Bristol. After the burnout and the results screen appears, click race again. You can race again without having to go through all the loading screens and your wins are saved.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/41.jpgRookie Mistake l (B) (H)

Receive a drive through or speeding penalty.

 

Simply drive over the speed limit when pitting to receive a penalty and the trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/763/01.jpgPlatinum l (P)

Unlock every trophy in the game.

 

Congratulations. You have earned every trophy in the game!

A helpful glitch for track mastering lap times I took from another thread and put here. Credit DALEshakeNbakeJR for finding this.

 

I found this over on the xboxachievements forum. thanks to 1001puppies over there for discovering it! i tried it on the tracks I was having a lot of problems with and already spent a good amount of time trying to do(Indy, Texas, and Darlington). I found that as long as your not the "reason" for the caution coming out it works, you can cause it, but dont be the reason it has to come out.

 

original thread:Tips for getting Fastest laps? - Xbox360Achievements.org

For rookie mistake you have to be at least 5 mph over the speed limit or enter pit incorrectly.

 

U can glitch the under a certain time for Surfin usa trophy by causing 3 cautions in a 2 lap race without finishing a lap

 

also for rubbing is racing you much finish the race of the track to count. you cannot dnf out.(plus online stats won't accumulate if you host the private room which might affect the trophy)

 

As for the inserting trophy image you need to insert the file .png name of the trophy image. look at the insert trophy image forum for how insert the image for more info.

No, don't do that. We'd like you to use the images from this site, not direct link to the eu site.

 

Why right-click/copy/paste is not working for you I don't know. You can also get the URL of the image (right-click, go to Properties) then insert it by using the Insert Image button on the editor toolbar and pasting the URL in there.

Nice guide so far man. I just reached level 30 and the exact amount needed to get there is 841,627. Quite an odd number indeed.

 

edit: Oops 841,627 is just what I landed on after reaching the required 841,000 which is level 30.

 

Thanks to RACINGKNUCKLES for the tip on earning the fastest lap times in order to master the tracks. I was having a real hard time with Pocono until I tried what he said and it worked like a charm. On the Eutechnyx site they said to expect the 1.02 around May 9th at the earliest, so I beleive people will have at least until then to use that trick.

In all Tracks except for Dover & Richmond (Sometimes the Bristol ones don't work) start a split screen game and after the race loads, have player 2 mash on L2 to go in reverse & bring out the Caution. Do this until the race ends and Player 1 should get a time of --:--:-- which masters the time portion.

 

I'm still trying the trick on all of the tracks, but Dover, Richmond and sometimes Bristol don't work with the trick

THAT ONE SUCKED, untill i went backwards and hit the car i needed to draft, then i turned around and start drafting him. I do not believe you need to win the race or draft all of the cars to win.

 

you should do this as well, let me know if it works

I too beat the entire game, 90/91 schemes, all events....no paint scheme trophy popped! Its the only trophy left w/the platinum sitting there helpless.

 

I also have that problem. I have 90/91 schemes, completed and won every invitational event and still don't get the trophy.

 

The trophies I don't have yet are: Surfin USA, Boy Scout, 200+ wins (don't know the name), & the supposedly glitched paint schemes trophy.
