- Approximate time: 40 – 60 hours
- Number of campaigns: 3
- Number of controllers: 1 - 4 (4 necessary for Pure Party )

Road Map:

Step 1:
You will want to become familiar with the game. Even though it's easy, it may take some time to perform the pure, skill and power shots that ensure you will always score. In this step, you can finish most if not all of the Pure-related trophies (completing the tutorial, 1,000 points, 10,000 points). A big thing, trophies can be unlocked with two controllers.

Step 2:
Campaign - this will be the bulk of your time, not because the 29 steps is difficult but because of you need to unlock every single national player . This means you need to do at least three campaigns. You need those because of the trophies relating to getting a 4+ star rating as a defender, midfielder and forward. A fourth campaign may be needed to unlock whatever players are left.

Step 3:
Online - this is another part of your time, mostly because you will need to reach division one, which unfortunately can only be boosted if you find amazingly find your friend. If you don't have a friend, you will be met with amazing amount of lag. The crests, however, can be boosted. Check the boosting thread here.

Step 4:
Mop up any trophies.

[PS3T Would Like to Thank AdamWolf86 for this Road Map]

Platinum

Obtain all trophies
Like any other trophy, unlock the rest for this.
Early Doors

Score with your 1st shot on net in any mode
This is simply done with two controllers. Pick a very good team such as Brazil or Spain; hopefully by this time you will be familiar with pure shots. (See Velocity Rapture). Or you can have the second controller pass the ball with to the keeper, tackle him with and score with (try to hit the green portion of the shot meter). In campaign you will be asked to score with your first shot on goal to unlock a player, so that's also a good place for this.
Share the Love

Score 1 goal with each of your outfield in any mode
Again pick a team like Brazil or Spain. I prefer Spain since they have good players (Torres and Fabregas). Just make sure each one of them score, be it from corners, crosses or penalties (in the match itself).
Hat Trick Hero

Score 3 goals in one game with 1 player in any mode
I would attempt this at the same time as Full House since they consist mostly of the same criteria. See Full House for more details.
Last Gasp

Score in the last 5 seconds of a timed match in any mode
You can attempt this and possibly fail; I unlocked this without even trying. Possibly try the method of using the opponent's keeper, but just work on it and you'll unlock this.
Toast the Post

Score off a shot that hits the post in any mode
There is no sure-fire way of this unlocking. Hitting the ball off the post in either PES or FIFA is easy, but not in this game. Patience and luck here.
Full House

Score 3 goals and record 2 assists with 1 player in any mode
To make this easier I would get a corner, quickly see who takes it and make that person the player who will score the hat-trick. The easiest way to assist would be for the aforementioned corner, press , releasing the button when the needle is on the white (for a pure shot possibility) and for the striker the exact same thing, this time with .
Velocity Rapture

Score 10 pure power shots in any mode
Pure power are fantastic ways of scoring and quite easy. Press the button, releasing when the needle hits the white and there is a good chance the ball will go in. Do this ten times.
Apocalyp-Toe

Score 15 volleyed goals in any mode
A little harder and can only be done well with the cross method (not corner). Use the same method as the corner. Run done with line, cross with and the player should either header or volley the ball with .
On a Bender

Score 30 skill shot goals across all modes
Skill shots are like pure shots, but you will be using which will create a curl. The best option would be to hit a pure power shot whilst holding to create a higher chance of scoring.
Tao of Power

Score 4 consecutive pure power shot goals in 1 game in any mode
This does not need to be four consecutive shots, but four consecutive pure shots (you need to score), like the ones mentioned in Velocity Rapture. I suggest playing the game on Easy since the needle is larger for that.

An example: say you score five shots in a row, three of them pure power shots (the first, second and fourth). You will not need to start again, but the next pure power shot you take will need to be a goal.
Laundry Day

Record a clean sheet in any mode
If you have two controllers, then this trophy is very easy. At the controller selection, have controller A on the left and controller B on the right; the teams you pick do not matter. Just make sure controller A (your main account) doesn't concede any goals in the match.
Pitch-Hiker

Win a match in each venue in any mode
Unlocked via playing the stadiums in exhibition and those from campaign.

Venues are (unlocked from the start):
- Milan
- London
- Liverpool
- Madrid
- Barcelona
- Marseille
- Amsterdam
- Munich
Unlockable:
- Underground - You have specific criteria each few weeks, if you succeed you will face a special team when the day reaches one of those stars.
- The Rooftop - Unlocked via the final tournament
Serial Thriller

Win 5 matches via penalty shootout in any mode
Just let the clock run out on a three minute match and win the penalty shoot-out. If you have two controllers, just make them miss.
Braveheart

Defeat England with Scotland on Pure difficulty
Again done with two controllers (see Laundry Day for method). Make sure it's on Pure difficulty. You can do so at the select venue menu by pressing and tweaking the option.
Club Before Country

Win a game with a team with immediate chemistry
Can be performed online, in play or campaign. Simply use four outfield players from the same club, such as Bendtner, Gallas, Fabregas and Nasri. Will unlock at the end of the game.
Head Case

Score 50 headed goals across all modes
Use the corner method, mentioned in Full House.
Defibrillator

Come back from 3 or more goals down in 5 matches
With the two controller method from Laundry Day, concede three goals five times in five separate matches and just get your proper account to score three of more goals. Attempt to score pure goals in the meantime to help in achieving Velocity Rapture and A New Millenium (1000 goals).
Firing Blanks

Win a game without taking a shot on goal
See Laundry Day for method. Simply have the second controller score an own goal and wait the match out, that is if you have the match set on 3, 5, 7 or 10 minutes. To make it easier, at the venue selection, change the setting with to win by 2 goals or first to 2.
A New Millennium

Score 1,000 goals across all modes
This will come over time, you can check your progress at the main menu> extras > user stats. Goals count everywhere:
- Quick Play
- Exhibition
- Campaign
- Play Anyone
- Play A Friend
The Wanderer

Travel 100 km on the pitch across all modes
No way of knowing when this will unlock. You could run around for ages to make this easier. Unfortunately, there is no way to check the distance you've travelled.
One Small Step

Unlock your 1st venue in a campaign
Win your first few matches and you will unlock a new venue, then every venue thereafter will have a specific number highlighted contributing to the number of wins you need to unlock the next venue.
Captain Fantastic

Have your captain obtain man of the match in a campaign match
I suggest scoring a few goals with your created player; should be easy to unlock. Winning say five goals to nil and having your campaign player score all of those will help your chance fantastically.
Rude Guest

Win a campaign match while completing all 5 recruitment objectives
At the start of each match you will be given five objectives to unlock players. If you unlock all of the players you will get this trophy. Press in the match menu and scroll to unlocks for the prerequisites.

These can vary from:
- Keeping a clean sheet
- Performing x amount of tackles (6, 8, 12, 15)
- Scoring x amount (2, 3, 4 and so on)
- Scoring x amount of pure power shots
- Scoring x amount of pure shots (you get these after filling up your pure meter with green shots on target that aren't goals)
- Saving or scoring a penalty
The Guardian

All World

Upload your captain at the end of a campaign
(1)
Simply choose "yes" when being asked to upload your player.

A League of Your Own

Unlock all available national players
A good list, posted by paulsmith1980:
A League of their Own Checklist

You do not need Brazil players for this trophy. So don't fret about having to hit 80,000 pure points online for Robinho.

Each match you will be given set objectives to unlock five players from each national team. Succeed in all five and then for next match, transfer those players over to have the opportunity to unlock the next five.

Each team has at least 11 players so in theory you will need to play each of them three times at least. France has the most with 14. Some players may not be available, though. Another way to make a player available is to increase the ability of your player, which in turn will create the chance to play greater players.
On the Board

Win a club match in Play Anyone
Connect online, the first option, and win using your campaign team and only your campaign team (picking a country will not work). Try using a team that is, say, 2 stars or lower, as they will try and tackle you a lot (what happened to me most of the time) and try to play the ball around them. Unlocking players from campaign will be influential in getting this and every other trophy in online. The better your team, at most times the better the chance.

Raising Your Game

Win 3 club matches in a row in Play Anyone
Like On The Board,but it needs to be three in a row. You can face a great team one game and a bad team the next, I was lucky for mine, getting 7 wins in my first 7 and then 11 from 12. So ability, luck and your opponents will play a part in this. Also your PLAYERS.

RSVP

Play a match against a friend
Connect online, second option. Invite a friend in the second option and play the game, doesn't matter what the score is.

Attested Development

Advance to division 7 through online play
Play and try to win, and progress to division 7. Scoring pure shots that are hard will increase pp gathered. It doesn't matter if you lose, since you will always get points for passing, shooting and scoring. You will find that many players quit after going a few goals down; just try and avoid them in the future and continue on.

Passion of the Crest

Unlock all 4 crests from an online challenge
Boost here. Each online challenge has four criteria ranging from standard, bronze, silver and gold. For you to unlock gold, you will have needed to unlock all three criteria before it. Here are some of the harder ones:
- Score a goal in the first 30, 20, 15 and 10 secs of the game (this will be very, very difficult, but doable oddly enough)
- 2, 3, 4 and 5 Pure Shots in the same game
- 1, 2, 3 and 4 headers in the same game

Over Easy

Score 3 goals in the first minute of a club match in Play Anyone
Playing against a poorer team with YOUR TEAM (not a country), could make this easier or shooting at every single opportunity you can. Hitting in the green and missing will allow your pure shot to increase quicker. When mine unlocked, I scored at 4.55, 4,38 and just at 4.03. Yet since unlocking the trophy, I must've scored three in the minute four times.
Top Flight

Advance to division 1 through online play
You don't need to win every single game, but it does help in advancing divisions. After every game that ends (trust me, not all people complete the game, they will quit if they're losing which is awful), if you check on the top 50 players, you'll see that some of them have more losses than wins. My best point collection and what advanced me to division one and got the platinum was 1800 pp and I lost. Granted it was 8 - 7 on penalties and 4 - 4 in the match (I was 4 - 1 down with a minute left).

Anyway, the more games you ultimately win, the higher chance you have of advancing. Using players unlocked from campaign can be both good and bad for you. Most people will be more inclined to reject the chance to face a five star team, but good for you as you should have a great team.

Shoulders of Giants

Beat a division 1 Player or someone who has in Play Anyone
For this you don't actually have to beat a division one player yourself, but someone who actually has per se.

Example:

I'm division one and I'm beaten by person A, then person B beats them and person C beats person B. All three people will have earned the trophy. If I beat any of those three (unless already unlocked), I will be awarded the trophy since they have beaten someone who beat someone.

I unlocked this after my first match.

Slump Buster

Following a club loss, win a club match via a clean sheet in Play Anyone
You will not win every match. If you do, congratulations but you will not get this trophy or platinum. In Play Anyone, playing as your club team versus another club team post loss, you will need to make sure of a clean sheet. Perhaps score and be greedy with the ball for the rest of the match - unsporting yes, but you want a trophy.

It has to be versus a club team, since I lost a match, then in my next match won 8 - 3, so I didn't keep a clean sheet (per Laundry Day), but that was because I was facing Belgium, not a club.
