The Official PS3 & PS4 Trophy Leaderboard / Discussion / Support Group

The days where I just go out to try to get a trophy that is completely out of the norm are definitely less than the days I just sit down and play. Games like Gran Turismo 5, I'm never going to get a platinum, no way....but there is the meat of the game that I want to get through and then just get what I get. Games like Saw, Hanna Montana ;), Trivial Pursuit.....games that were a piece of cake to go out of your way to get the platinum, those are the nights I will just sit down and try to get as much as I can.

Yeah, the only time I whore trophies is when I'm almost done with the game(usually because I'm fed up) and just want to try to get all the achievements/trophies to prolong the game. There's other games that I will actively try to get a platinum right from the start just due to the huge challenge it provides, just like in KZ2.

I'm sure you guys both read it, but what's neat about that article is that it dove into more detail than just talking about the trophies. It's talking about all manners of collectibles and other games-within-a-game.

CLW, you wanna hop online and try to whore this sometime? I'm sick of trying against the CPU. Bastards that are posting videos making it look so easy just piss me off even more. No matter what I do, I can't even get the CPU to throw in my vicinity.

Though I have read at least one statement that you can't get this one online this year. Don't believe it, but that's what I saw.

Yeah I'll give it a world. I've also read you cannot do it online either but worth a shot. I figure a few slip screens should make this work in fairly short order. Of course this presumes that PSN ever gets back up and running.

Holy shit, CLW. I have to give you credit for that one. Only took me three plays, lol. I had thought of an idea of how to do it last night, but your suggestion of Slip Screen made it easy.

Here's my setup -- should be easy for anyone to do.

• Used default All-American difficulty. Two controllers.
• Make your primary profile (in case this matters) LSU, with the second controller Ball State.
• For LSU's Defensive Gameplan, set Zone Coverage to Aggressive and Pass Defense to Aggressive.
• When Ball State goes on offense, Call Shotgun Ace - HB Slip Screen.
• For LSU's defense, call 4-3 Cover 2 Edge.
• As you're coming to the line, grab the LSU controller and player lock on Patrick Peterson. Pass Commit.
• Take the Ball State controller and run the play. Let the HB float out, and watch Peterson. He should ignore the Split End and play the HB. As he breaks toward the HB, float the ball out there. Peterson will jump the route.
• As Peterson's running it back, just stay with the Ball State controller and move guys away from him. Let him waltz in and you get the trophy.

Holy crap that was easy. Peterson picked it on the first play, but my HB was close enough to grab him before I could take control. On the second attempt he bobbled the ball, and the third attempt went all the way.

That's clever. The last 2 years I've just done it this way:

1. Two controllers
2. Pick a cover 2 defense and a streak route on the edge.
3. Move the safety back about 20 yards and to the sideline.
4. Snap the ball and just chuck it deep, all while manually selecting the WR and moving him back.
5. Intercept and run.

I would've gotten it on my first try both years, but the stupid dropped picks got me in both games. I ended up getting it within 3 tries each game though. I'll have to try your setup next year if that stupid trophy is in it.

Yeah, I more or less tried this, but couldn't get the right combination of plays to get the safety in the right position. Too many dropped picks or tackles immediately after INT. The Slip Screen was much easier.

Excellent I will have to try that. IF I could ever get a new job set up before my move to Houston. Job hunting is killing my PS3 time.

What's the plan for the Leaderboard this month since PSN (and by that, trophy sync) likely won't be back until next week?

Well, after careful consideration, you're all going to be forced to buy 360s and "The Official PS3 Trophy Leaderboard" is going to become "The Official Achievement Whore Leaderboard." You guys have til May 1 to make your purchases and trigger at least one achievement.

All joking aside, I'll update it when it comes up. :D

The real question is...was I really joking?

If not, I'm out. :( I won't get a 360 until there's 1 more price drop.

No need, I'll spot you all the $300. :P

Seriously, though, I fully expect the network to be back up by the time May rolls around.

'Preciate it. I feel an E3 price drop coming so I'm holding out for word on that.

They said another week. May starts in 3 days.

They said within a week.

Even if it's not, from May 1 to about..ohhh..the middle of May, I wont have access to my PS3. So if it's not up by the night of April 30, someone else is going to have to fill in the duty for this month...which is basically copy and paste and update the numbers while picking a "Whore of the Month" for any reason they see fit.

While PSN is down, I've been going through my back log of games(slowly). I beat SOCOM 4 multiple times. I've since moved on to Dead Nation since I never beat it on the two hardest difficulties. Beat the first one today, and started on the hardest. Holy. Shit. It is completely kicking my ass on a couple levels. At this rate, I'll have the platinum for it in about 5 years. :D

Yep that worked like a charm. Took me 4 plays 2 picks but tackled a dropped pick and then pick 6 for the trophy. I think I'm going to try to finish the http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/ima...s/platinum.png today. I still need the 20/20; Program Changer and Perfect From The Start. How did you get the Program Changer?

Isn't that the one where you have to sign a 5 star player with a 2 star school or something?
