There's always at least one other undefeated team in my dynasty the 4 times I've one it and I've never been preseason #1 so I've never been able to go wire-to-wire. I've never been able to blow every team out by 21 either. There's always 2 games a season where my team plays like absolute crap.
Edit: I meant to say, "I've won it....."

Turns out if you haven't entered Recruiting yet, the prospects re-generate every time. News to me.
Anyway, I ended up taking sole control of Vanderbilt, and had a QB from Alabama on my board. Had it on Varsity or Freshman recruiting difficulty, and it wasn't too difficult. I did take control of the #1 team on his board and make sure they weren't recruiting him though :D
Yeah, I got lucky with that one. When I was doing my dynasty to get all the Bowl Trophies, Ohio State ended up as the National Champion and Pre-season #1. So I saved that off as another dynasty and played through that season, beating every team by 21+ and winning the National Title again. I did make sure a couple simulations took care of the other undefeated teams though :)Quote:

I went to PS3Trophies and they have a Team Builder team with A+ everything and 99 OVR at every position from North Dakota as a 2 Star program. Popped them in created 10 99 OVR QBs and went 60 mins on each each week. Signed two after Week 8.
:smh: this Perfect From The Start Trophy is driving me crazy. I get to week 7 with Alabama #1 problem is #2 Ohio State is playing #3 Wisconsin. I have simmed it multiple times and I always win my game but end up #2 the next week. I then tried playing as Wisconsin and got a 7-0 win only to have Wisconsin leap Alabama in the polls even when they beat a ranked Ole Miss club 38-0.
I think my frustration with this STUPID trophy is going to end my quest today for the Platinum. I'll try again tomorrow and I guess play with every team receiving a 1st place vote and have them lose each week.
I wonder if Wii 2.0 will have acheivements.
There's no point in updating this anymore this month. I'll go ahead and put it up for June doing the dual month. Freakin' Sony.
2 trophies away from the platinum on KZ3. They both involve co-op and I don't have two controllers.
2 trophies away from the platinum on Dead Nation. They both involve co-op and not only do I not have 2 controllers, but the network is still down.
2 trophies away from the platinum on Spare Parts. See Dead Nation.
1 trophy away from the platinum on SOCOM 4 and just have to wait for the network to come back up.
1 trophy away from 100% on Tecmo Bowl. I'm just too lazy to finish it.
I think I'm going to knock out the Prince of Persia collection next. I've heard they're easy.
Sounds like someone needs to splurge on a 2nd controller. These coop trophies are a little silly IMHO.Quote:

I have Spare Parts, gotten a little ways through it.
But sometime when the PSN comes back up I can help you on those perhaps.
I've thought about it, but other than trophies, I don't really need one. So, I truly can't justify buying a new controller just for a trophy. They are like $42 on Amazon right now, which is a great price for them, so maybe I will. The green one looks sweet.Quote:

Killzone 3 is relatively easy. Killzone 2 was WAY harder. KZ2 remains one of my hardest platinum trophies I've ever gotten. Beating that game on hard was hard as hell - beating it on Elite was just a nightmare. The AI was so damn good that they just fucked you up repeatedly. Then you have to play online and get all the ribbons, which takes awhile. It was just a truly difficult game to platinum. KZ3 on the other hand, not so much.Quote:

There is a trophy for finding all the pieces on Spare Parts that requires both players, so we could do that. We could also do co-op on Dead Nation. Since I have Grim unlocked, you wouldn't even have to play through it on Hard first, and my guns and armor are completely maxed out, so it shouldn't be nearly as hard.
I've been one trophy away from the Buzz Quiz TV platinum for probably around 2 years. Though I did cheat to get to that point, so maybe that's part of my reluctance to finish it.Quote:

I feel your pain there. I had the same problem. I eventually had to cross check my map with one online - it was under a railroad track I had passed through at least 100 times. 300+ collectibles is entirely too much.
I never collect all the collectables in a game (like the 100 whatevers in all the Assassin Creed games). I don't find the busy work very appealing.
I always collect the collectibles, even before trophies. And yet, in real life I hate scavenger hunts.
There is something supremely satisfying about hitting my 500th trophy.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood actually isn't too bad in terms of collectibles. I just got my very last treasure chests and feathers last night, and just have to get 14 more flags (all in the secret locations). I just worked on the collectibles in sections of the map, and in sections of the game, clearing out a corner of the map, then going and working on some memories in the current sequence, going back and clearing out more, etc. It really cuts down on the feeling of it being busy work.Quote:

I'll eventually go back and work on getting those completed, if anything, just because I need only the achievements for those flags and Templars and I'll 1k AC1 (have already 1k'ed AC2).
But I also have being an achievement whore in my blood, so I will go out of my way on some games to get an achievement and try and 1k a game, which often includes getting the collectibles in it.
Yeah, I'm the same way. I hate scavenger hunts or similar stuff in real life. But I will track down hundreds of minor crap in a game if doing it all means getting an achievement and 1k'ing a game. The life of an achievement whore. :DQuote:

Got my 500th trophy last night playin' some Tiger. Damn moving/job hunting is killing my PS3 time. :smh: Hopefully, that will be changing very soon. :nod:
Yeah,I've been trying to find jobs. I even applied to EA and some other gaming companies besides the ones around where I live. You never know, they may need someone like me soon :).Quote:

I don't suppose anyone has Anarchy: Rush Hour?
never heard of it
I'm not going to have access to my PS3 for a week or two, so do you guys just want me to post the updated stats from the trophy cards, or does someone else want to do it? I'll be fine doing it from the trophy cards, and from what I've seen, they're pretty damn accurate anyway, so I think it should be close if not perfect to the actual stats.
Go ahead and do it now, that's fine bro. It's a month and a half of data anyways :D #thanksPSNQuote:

Mine's up to date after a few trophy grabs on L.A. Noire last night.Quote:

Over/Under for Violator trophies during the past two months = 250?Quote:

The DLC is free for PS+ members too :DQuote:

The Trophy Whore Leaderboard for June 2011!
*PSN Is Finally Back Edition*
Trophy Whore of the Month!
JeffHCross! Jeff gained his 2nd platinum at some point during the 2 months this accounts for, I'm guessing for NCAA Football '11. Congrats to him! I would have a post bit icon for you, Jeff, but the admin here is slacking. :P
I had the most with 87 and 1, V was 2nd with 50 and zero(if I'm not mistaken, this is the first time he didn't get a platinum in a month, and this is for TWO months :whoa:), while gpellis rounded out the top 3 with 38 and zero.
Once again want to call out a few of the several battles. JB and CDJ are still going at it for the chance to represent the biggest Corn Husker Trophy Whore on TGT. JB cleared out a little more room by outgaining CDJ this past two months by 7.
Souljabill overtook G during the last update, and G came on strong to close the gap to 5. Considering inFAMOUS 2 is coming out this month, this could be interesting.
CLW made a furious charge at Jeff this month, and pulled to within 6 trophies. They both even have 2 platinum trophies! There's definitely going to be some interesting battles here over the next month.
Trophy whore icon/trophy now slacker admins! :nod:Quote:

I think I'm going to start factoring in my 360 achievements, too. I'd be really close to 3,000 total achievements/trophies if I did. I wonder if anyone would notice. :P
