Hello, I am making this thread as I have begun to struggle with a number of the accomplishments, at around 50% completion. I imagine many of you, who are interested in the Be a Pro / Pro Clubs aspects of the game are also hitting a brick wall in your progression.

So, I intend to use this thread as a hub for finding other players willing to assist you in ranking up your pro whilst online. As you may be aware, to complete the gold accomplishments, you are required to perform the tasks during a World Class difficulty match, or against an online opponent, with the latter being addressed (hopefully) with this thread.

The basic idea is that you'll agree a game time with someone, and then choose a duration of the match (20 minutes per half is the best, as it allows a lot of time to get most accomplishments completed, but it is also the most taxing and boring to finish) and you can then get the more difficult accomplishments unlocked this way.

For example, I know of someone who did the two 32 yard strikes by asking a friend to move their goalkeeper out of the way and just slam home the ball rather easily. I personally did this one legitimately, but I will need help in the same manner regarding free-kicks and heading.

If you're visiting this thread just to spout off, then I don't really care. I'm bored of doing the accomplishments legitimately, and I would rather spend my playing time actually being effective in matches.

So, I will kick things off then. I am looking for someone who is willing to play a few games to allow me to finish off my shooting accomplishments, which is a mish-mash of free-kicks, heading and penalties. All of the others have been completed already. In exchange, I will offer the same period of time for you to do whatever you need to complete.

Thanks. Other people can use this thread for their own requests.

Note: I play on PS3. Thanks Ronan

ill let you do that if i can do a few shooting aswell?
 
As Neall and I are finding out, this is a lot more difficult than I originally thought it would be,
 
I'll get back to anyone interested in this. It's a lot harder than first suspected, and I need to work out effective methods for particular accomplishments.
 
looks niceeee, I'll definetly do this with someone :)
 
Yip, i will do this if any one wants 2 help

Spot on mate, I don't fancy spending my time thinking have I switched the play enough times and have I made 5 successful back post crosses etc. Would rather just play the way I want to play.

I got my 35 yard + one by going on the Pro Ranked Match and the keeper just was AFK so I hit 2 long shots and made the 3 goals from 35 yards accomplishment haha. I'm still trying to do the chip the keeper from outside the box one which seems basically impossible!

I'd be willing to do a few but will be some issues with communication etc. So whoever is doing should join the mIRC...
 
Well I've noticed there are a few which are easy enough to complete:
- Penalties (Easy enough, just make a stupid challenge in the box. We're all good at this)
- Any kind of shot (As your opponent can pass back to the goalkeeper and run miles off his line, allowing you to tackle and finish)
- Tap-ins (Same as above, for the 3 yard tap-in accomplishments)
- Passes (You just have your Pro passing to your strikers, and do the same thing as with the shots. Have the goalkeeper off his line so the striker can then finish and gain your VP an assist)

However, a few things are more difficult than anticipated:
- Heading can only be done 'legitimately', as the AI will jostle for the ball regardless of whether your opponent is controlling them or not.
- Free-kicks. On regular matches, you cannot control the goalkeeper, so you can't move him to a suitable location to put a free-kick past him. You'll need to be able to score these legitimately to do these accomplishments, or do them online against idiots.

I've also noticed that Defending and Goalkeeping accomplishments are best done during a career mode, as they are things that are more likely to just happen when you play a lot.

Heading - if the other player selects the player marking you and then runs off that should leave you to a free header?

Free Kicks - could try moving the wall to make it easier to score by leaving a space to shoot at..

Defending and Goalkeeping - problem with these are I am only the player so I cant set myself to play in defense or in goal so I have just been doing these on be a pro matches and custom matches..

Come on mIRC an Fifa now and we will have a go if you want?
 
So is this the only way to make my VP better?

To be honest I have never paid too much attention to it but it's a rather **** way to improve stats. My guy is sitting at 72 at the moment after half a season, not sure if that is good or bad?

I have just been going about playing the game as normal and occasionally notice acomplishments. In last years game I could manually assign my points to certain area's. Is that non exsistant now?

Going quite well in that CM mode
Accomplishments+form determine stats along with altering your guys height and weight you can tweak speed strength etc

Took me 5 years of playing one CM over 74 hours of gaming to get my guy 100 pct
I always played my guy as CAM or st as 5'6 198 pounds as its pretty much rounded, 94 acc 92 Sprint and heading on form is around 91.
Its difficult in the early stages as it seems that he is so bad and you can not work with what you start with but as the accomp. come you see how good he gets
GK position especially, your guy starts out not able to catch a back pass but when hes good hes unbeatable.
past 20 PRM in goal: Goals conceded 4 (All rebounds from saves tapped in)Clean cheets 17
But when I started with my pro bad I couldnt even go a half without conceding

Well you can chose what sort of player (poacher, creator etc) which adjusts your stats accordingly

Most pro's (apart from those who play 24/7 or cheat) are around 74/75OVR. If you do all the easy ones in the arena you get up to around the level you're at.

So what? I need to score free kicks etc? Quite a poor system if you ask me. Pes tops fifa on that one I must say.

well quite a few of them are like getting 60% pass succession in 10 games or something along those lines. Same with the stamina ones, they just take time

My guy is rated 85 over all I think (dont know if this includes form or whatever) but in positions it changed (striker 79 etc)

I cant get the freekick ones as im shocking at them. I'm currently trying to get the assist from a corner one but its taking a while.

Some rely on chance e.g score 3 times from a rebound off the post. Ones like this you just have to be at the right place at the right time.

Others take persistance - hattrick from outside the box. I almost had this in career when I got to the 89th min looking for my 3rd outside box goal, I hit a shot but keeper kept it out :@

Some simply require playing 10 matches in the snow and things which are easy to get

Yeah, you need to score free kicks to get better at free kicks. <)

Sorry Mally, I was away from the PC for a couple of hours. I am up for it later on if you'd like.

Not sure if I'll be on tonight, will tell you on IRC later, but if I'm on I will...
 
Only shooting accomplishments I'm struggling to get are diving header (keeper has saved my 4 attempts so far), volley outside the area and 2 from 32 yards. I keep hoping for 2 free kicks from 32+ because I know I'll score them but I can never get two that far out in a match :(
