INTRODUCTION

NBA Live 10 is your average basketball game. It's great game and will keep you entertained for hours on end if you're an avid basketball fan. If you're a fan of basketball and gaming, the trophies will come with no problem. The trophies are all very simple to get. Nothing is too difficult. A few trophies will come while playing naturally. Trophies that will require you to get a certain amount of stats for a player can be a pain, but that is easily fixed when adjust the sliders (more info below). Online will most likely take up the majority of your time.

WALKTHROUGH

The following steps are will help you obtain the in the quickest time possible. If you follow the steps, you should be able to get the plat in the amount of time suggested (15-20 hours).

Step One: Play A Game
I recommend that you first take some time to just play the game normally and get a feel for the game. Here you should be able to get From Downtown Rookie and Come Fly With Me. You can also upload and send a replay to EASW for Highlight Maker. Your first game should net you 3 trophies.

Step Two: Online and Adidas Live Run
If you're going for the Platinum, I strongly suggest you go for online trophies as early as possible. EA servers are unpredictable, so it's better to be safe than sorry. The online trophies are the most time consuming ones of the game. Find a boosting partner and get The Grinder and Online Win Streak trophies. Check the trophy guide for more information regarding The Grinder. Also, join an Adidas Live Squad and get the adidas LIVE Run Victory and adidas LIVE Run MVP trophies. You should be able to obtain all seven of your online trophies in this step.

You can find the trophy boosting thread here and the Adidas Live Run thread here.

Step Three: Dynasty
This step is actually real quick and simple. For Champion, select the LA Lakers or Boston Celtics and simulate the whole season up to the playoffs. Save after the season ends if you end up making the playoffs. I suggest turning autosave off at this point in case you end up losing the a series in the playoffs. Every time you win a round, save. You will not need to play any of the games. You can simply just simulate each series, including the final round. You only need to win the championship.

Step Four: Player Specific Trophies
There are some trophies that require you to get a certain amount of stats for an elite NBA player. Some of these will be a challenge, but with a few tweaks in the sliders (see below), the trophies will come without much trouble.

Step Five: Clean-Up
After all the above, you may still have some extra trophies that need to be taken care of. If you missed any, you can get them in Exhibition. Remember the settings can be tweaked in order to obtain the trophies more easily.

EXTRA INFORMATION

For all but one of the offline trophies (David and Goliath), set your time to 12 minutes and set your difficulty at Rookie for a better outcome.
For the online trophies, you can quit the games at 2:25.
Sliders: Have fouls set to 0. Nothing is more aggravating than getting called for reaching in when trying to get Broys 10 steals. For the user sliders, have all of your settings at 100. Occasionally, you'll want to have a couple at 0. For CPU sliders, you will want to do the opposite - have them at 0. In some cases, you'll have to change a couple to 100.

There you have it. If you follow these steps, you should have the in no time.

Game Over In A Flash

Hit a buzzer beater with Dwyane Wade (NBA) in double overtime in a single solo game.
Play as the Miami Heat (either home or away) with Dwayne Wade on player lock and make sure the game is tied after the first four quarters and the first period of overtime. You must then score on the buzzer at the end of the second period of overtime.

Best way is to hang onto the ball outside the marked area and then shoot for 3 points just as the clock reaches 1 second so that it flies in after the buzzer. It doesn't matter if you don't score in the second overtime, I ended up getting it in the 7th overtime. Just hang onto the ball for the whole 2 minutes, then shoot at the end. If you do miss, then it will just go to another overtime period.
Kobe's 81

Score 81 points with Kobe Bryant (NBA) against the Raptors in a single solo game.

Camby 12/17/08

Get 27 rebounds in Chicago with Marcus Camby (NBA) in a single solo game.
Play as LA Clippers against anyone and put Marcus Camby on player lock.

The best way to do this is to stay under the basket you're shooting towards. Let the other team have possession then when you get it, shoot from wherever you are (with Rules off there will be no "Out of Bounds". Let the ball go to the back of the court then you can pick up the easy rebound. Repeat this until you get 27 (you can check your progress on the 'Stats' menu when paused)
D12 11/12/08

Get 10 blocks in Oklahoma City with Dwight Howard (NBA) in a single solo game.
Play as Orlando Magic with Oklahoma City Thunder as the HOME team and put Dwight Howard on player lock. There are two main tactics for this one:

1. Stand under your basket and block any shots that come in

2. Follow around the player with the ball and try to block his shots.

Best tip for this is to alter the sliders so that CPU always dunk or lay-up and that their offensive rebounding is on full and your defensive rebounding is on zero. That way you can just hang out under the basket and they will dunk or lay-up all shots and you can block them, then they will most likely get the rebound and try another dunk. With Rules set off there will be no "Goaltending" foul called. Repeat until you have 10 blocks (you can check your progress on the 'Stats' menu when paused). This will also get you "adidas Triple Block"
Broy 1/24/09

Get 10 steals against the Wizards with Brandon Roy (NBA) in a single solo game.
Play as Portland Trail Blazers against the Washington Wizards and put Brandon Roy on player lock.

Get in front of whoever has the ball and then repeatedly press Square until you knock the ball out of their hands, then make sure you pick it up. With Rules set off there will be no fouls called for this. Repeat until you have 10 steals (you can check your progress on the 'Stats' menu when paused).
Flash 4/12/09
