    How to unlock Win at Winning

    This trophy requires you to play through the run on Extreme Difficulty. You could play through the run on that difficulty but the races are harder and because you only have 1 replay, it will take a lot of time. By doing this workaround, you can get the trophy just by completing the last stage (Stage 10) until the last race on easy and then changing the difficulty to Extreme for the last race so when it comes up at the top of the screen 'Win the Run', pause the game then go to difficulty and change it to extreme. It will say all progress will be lost but don't worry as you only restart that one race. Complete that race on Extreme and you will get the trophy.

    Some tips to complete the races on Extreme are to restart the race if you use your only restart before the section where you are driving at oncoming traffic on the bridge. This is because the two hard sections afterwards: The underground and the oncoming traffic, will probably cause you to use your one repeat so restart if you use it before then. Also, when you are on the bridge, try to get in front of your opponent so you will be able to see the oncoming car's headlights clearer so you can swerve out of the way of them. An unusual but effective tip that worked for me is to stand/sit really close to the TV screen, especially when crossing that bridge. It will improve your reaction time to get out of the way of oncoming cars. When in the underground, as you just enter it, do not use any nitrous. First swerve into the right hand track to avoid the oncoming train and then when the train appears behind you, that it when you use all of your nitrous. After that, go all the way to the left and drive along the platform then carry on with the end of the race. When you get to the area with all of the container boxes, slow down a bit but do not use any nitrous as it will cause you to crash and you will need it after. Finally as you get to the last stretch, use all of your nitrous, and win the race! Here is a video by Reiji:

  • so do I need to choice Extreme difficulty from the beginning .
  • Y U NO Gold Trophy???
  • You don't have to win....
  • It's not a gold because is says play through it not complete it
  • There's some cars u need to complete to game on Extreme difficulty to unlock them , I'll start the game on Extreme .
  • extreme is lock at the beginning of the game
  • Hmmm it says playthrough so does that mean you dont have to 'beat' it on Extreme?
  • to get this trophy u have to complete the game on easy, or normal or hard. Then the Extreme difficulty will unlocked .
  • Maybe it will unlocked after couple of stages, idk but let us know guys
  • All I know is its damn hard on extreme. Espsecially the timed checkpoint races.
  • The Time trial in South Dakota is impossible unless you use a front wheel drive car guys F.Y.I. I used the NFS Renault Megane. I do think you have to complete the game for this ttrophy too
  • This trophy is BS , of course it's the last one! Everytime ran over by the train, just like trains and tunnels try over and over , takes about 20 trys on trains and tunnels this one is worse!
  • What car are you suppose to use on this event ? Mine is pretty good and I can't get past the train still!
  • ohh i just got the trophy i would strongly recommend to use the porshe with 2.6/100 if you dont have you can buy it on ps store for 3$ and u get 3 cars the train is pretty hard i have to say but if you dont use the nitro all way to the train after the turn you can quicky accelerate by using it all and when you get into to the undergrounds dont hit the walls after the second train it's piece of cake
  • I finally got this trophy, using the work-around provided! :) (deleting the patch too) It was surprisingly easy at the beginning before the, dodging incoming cars part. Just take your time because when I played it, I could always catch up.
  • You Do Not need to play the entire game on extreme. Only the final race... Stage Select the Final Stage play it on Easy. When you get the Final Race use the Pause Menu; Settings and Change your Difficulty to Extreme. This Will Restart the Race. NOT THE STAGE. You just have to Finish, Not Win to get the trophy
  • @15 I agree, all you really need is to take your time. I believe the game allows your rival a nine or ten second lead before it makes you use a reset. I took my time on the bridge, never letting my rival more than eight seconds ahead of me. I saved my one reset for the train part, which you have to try not to hit the sides and just use all your nitrous as soon as going into the second train.
  • such a trek
  • does the 1.03 update stop u getting this by just doing the last race on extreme. i dont want to waste ages on the 1 race to find out i have to do the whole game on extreme? anyone help?
  • did you find is out your selve already? i am getting my first attempt now!
  • came to container part second try, i now know why this isn't a gold one.
  • 3 try i finished but it stead of winning it gave me a total loss? takes me longer as i thought
  • hey guys. just a question to see if any one knows where if any sites have records for games? eg like this sweet as game. if any knows please post link :)
  • Comment #2 by Catimen Monday, November 14, 2011 @ 09:04:48 AM Y U NO Gold Trophy??? :My thoughts exactly
  • the train on the last level is the biggest pain in the ass
  • omg finally did it. I used the Porche RSR.
  • it'S so bad it's no gold trophy! i've done it, was pretty hard...
  • I tested and this method still works after the patch. Some tips for those who have trouble at the train tunnel: you need to use nitrous before the first curve to have high speed when you approach it, then use the rest of the nitrous after you exit the first curve. Try to stay as much as possible in the center of the track to not loose speed. The main challenge for me in this game was (and still is) to find a partner to do the group objectives...so please add me if you want/need to help ID: G3Ogfx
  • Found an easier way to get past the train!! So you get into the tunnel and there's a spot right after you dodge the oncoming train to get into the other lane. Here in this middle section, you should wait for the oncoming train to barely pass you then drive into it a little bit. This is because the train that kills everybody is a little wider, with an over hang to be able to kill you. So just wait for the killer train to pass on your right and you're free to go. No trains should spawn behind you anymore!! Sorry for the lengthy response.
  • Bit of a a pain trophy, took me about 10 tries. Why the hell are the subway trains traveling at 250+ km/h? :/
  • @TTENDER, you are a life saver! This method works pretty fine. Make sure you practise a few times on easy (more resets to try again) how to position your car. You car needs to be as far on the left as posible. It must be done on the first gap between to the two tracks on 3.10 in the movie above. You can use the pole with the red light to position your car. If the pole and your right front light are on the same line, you're good to go.
  • @29 - TTENDER: I love you man, lol. That's one of the reasons i love this page, because of these useful tips and comments. Although it took me like 50 mins, u saved me a lot of more time. Thanks!
  • @#29, is there any video on utube of somebody doing that trick?
