lct1709 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) As you may be aware you cannot edit stats for the world cup mode. Here how you can get trophies for win the world cup, serious rugger, record try scorer, maximum points and record point scorer on HARD. First of all pick a team other than New Zealand, it doesn't matter who you could win the world cup with anyone although it would harder if picked team such as Namibia so I would suggest picking the likes of Ireland, England, France or Australia. Make sure difficulty is set on HARD and can play 5 or 10 minute matches all these objectives are easily achievable on 5 minutes but if short once you get to semis or the final increase your minutes as needed. All trophies pop at full time once the objective has been achieved. Reason to not pick New Zealand is to achieve serious rugger trophy because you will most likely meet them on your course to the final. Start the match with your desired team soon as it kicks off switch teams to the one your playing against. a warning message states something along the lines that switching may disable trophies believe it won't. Now the aim of this is to concede a minimum of 4 tries during the match whilst in each the group stage while letting 'your' team beat you so I would suggest if you got possession of the ball running back to your own 5 yards line get tackled and release the ball by pressing lose possession in the ruck and let them score. As soon as one of 'your' player as achieved 9 tries during playing start aiming to concede penalties to allow you penalty taker score easy 3 pointers until they get 127+ accumulative points. Record tries and points record doesn't need to be done in one single match just accumulative of your 7 matches. After the 4th group match providing you conceded 4 tries in each will get you 'Maximum Points' trophy this is the most important step before full time in every match just switch back (again another warning message will appear) to your main team and this will result you with the win, records all your points and tries and any trophies that has been activated. Also you will be 7 match wins into your 10 that is required for winning streak trophy.

prozendaal Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This is a good way to get the trophies, for dcollins22 and myself we personally didn't find it too difficult on hard mode. We found it easiest to score the points ourselves, so that way we knew which player was going for the 127 points/9 tries without having to keep track of it. Nevertheless, a lot of this information is in the roadmap and trophy guide already. http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/rugby-world-cup-15-a/274287-rugby-world-cup-15-trophy-guide-roadmap.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct1709 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 kudos to being able to win the world cup legitimately but before your roadmap was completed I had received numerous requests from players for help on winning the world cup like them I had struggled against most teams in World Cup Mode. When it had come to my attention that there was a glitch (which I credited to the person who discovered it & I had a chance to test the glitch to confirm it works). It made winning the world cup with minimal effort so wrote a tip highlighting the glitch. Your roadmap is very good guide to winning all trophies the correct way but some people also like to take shortcuts whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the serious Ruger and World Cup winner using this method, but the stats are not keeping correctly for me.

SmilerNuts Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I can confirm this worked for me with the patch on the Vita version. I missed the record points trophy so used this to earn it AFK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morg106 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I could never get this to work on Vita no matter what. Then I played without doing it and I realised all the time I wasted, I could have spent just playing the game, because after 1-2 matches I was really good at it. I platinumed it legit easily and never even bothered trying the trick on PS3, just beasted it straight away. It might have helped that I don't even like rugby, so I looked at it differently, a bunch of AI with predictable patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteRulz Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 So does this work ? This game is utterly hard I have no problems with most games who are 5/10 or less , but this game is like 10/10 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes84 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 How can y'all realistically rate it 2/10? I only rented the game under the assumption it was an easy game, but it's totally the opposite for me. I'm having some proper problems winning a " hard mode" game, never mind winning (x) amount in a row an what not Any tips would be great:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes84 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Nobody have any other tips for me before I send this game back? I'd like too 100% this as I'm currently on a role of about 20 or so platinums , and don't like sending game back un completed and a mere 25% trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozendaal Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I recommend playing as a high ranked team (such as New Zealand) against a low ranked team (such as Namibia). Here are some tips from the trophy guide: Tips: Keep possession of the ball. By holding on to the ball, you will limit the possibility of the other team scoring points. Do not give away penalties. The opposition team will kick penalty goals from anywhere in your half which will award them with 3 easy points. Contest every breakdown. Get the ball out of the ruck as quick as you can to reduce the chance of the opposition stealing it. Keep passing the ball. You can pretty much pass the ball to anyone in your team just before you are about to get tackled and you will keep moving forward. Just press and ( for PS Vita) in the direction you want to pass. Keeping the ball alive in this manner will reduce the number of breakdowns and the potential for the opposing team to take control of the ball. http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/rugby-world-cup-2015-a/274287-rugby-world-cup-2015-trophy-guide-roadmap.html Hope these help.

ScooloV Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I can confirm, that every WorldCup trophy popped without any problem with this "change team" tactics. Played on EU Vita version with latest patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulybee7799 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I can confirm, that every WorldCup trophy popped without any problem with this "change team" tactics. Played on EU Vita version with latest patch. I can also confirm this on ps4 version. The swap teams method in rwc mode works perfectly. Just REMEMBER TO SWAP BACK before the game ends. No issue..... id vote it a 2 or a 3 due to the dodgy controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisheadshot Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I managed to get this to work on PS3, Vita and PS4, all with the latest patch versions installed. Reiterating what paulybee said ^. You have to remember to switch teams before the match ends. If you forget to and the match reaches the full time results screen, you can't quit the game and restart the match, as it will have already saved those stats. If you forget to switch back before a match ends, you'll need to restart the entire process again from beginning of a brand new RWC campaign. Found that out the hard way .

MrMinderbinder Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) EDIT: Just realized how redundant most of this post was. I'll just say this - the method outlined at the start of this thread worked perfectly for me on the PS3 disc version of the game (no update). Thanks very much for the ideas.
