![]() Road Map & Trophy Guide by leptonic If you have found this guide in the internet and found it useful and you are thinking to join this forum, do it! you're missing a lot of fun and please give me a referral when you signing up like the picture below. ![]() To Register Click HERE. Overview: Estimated platinum difficulty: 5/10, Vote Pending HERE. Offline Trophies: 39 (30 , 6 , 3 )Online Trophies: 4 (2 , 1 , 1 )Approximate amount of time to : 40+ HoursMinimum number of playthroughs needed: 1+ Career, 1 ESPN Grand Slam Classics Mode. Missable Trophies: 24: All Career Trophies can be missable IF you skip the related event and/or you lose against your related opponent OR if you lose some tournament you will need to try again in the following season. Glitched Trophies: None. Does difficulty affect Trophies?: No, you can play in Rookie. Tricks and Cheats: None. Online Pass: Yes, but EA has disable it and isn't needed to get access to the online portion of the game (4 trophies). So you CAN this title without a Pass. Thanks to XtremeTornado for the tip.Controllers: The game allow you to play with a Move Controller but I strongly recommend to play it with a dual shock controller with the Buttons option and NOT with the .![]() Introduction: After some years of having Virtual Tennis & Top Spin as the only tennis options to play on PS3, arrives now a new title: Grand Slam Tennis 2 (well, new on the PS3 because the first one was only released for the Wii). The game has great gameplay and a good menu index, as EA does with their titles. The graphics show a great engine behind them which rarely glitches but you may have some issues Online, where by some mysterious way your rival can hit the ball with his racquet from almost at 10ft way from the ball :S. Anyway the game it's good, very entertaining playing the first two Career's years, but once you start the 3rd the things become bored and a bit hard, just if you are an extreme Platinum trophy hunter or if you like very much the tennis you will be able to finish the entire career. It has other menus available which will keep you for a while deep into the game, sadly some modes doesn't have any trophies attached and lose a bit of attention. In general terms being a trophy hunter or not but If you want to play/test another tennis's game, then you should try with this one, practice, play and win to be the new "Virtual-Federer" around here. Step 1: Customize the sliders & Download/Share a player The first thing to do is to custom the difficult and the duration of the matches, follow this:
I really strongly recommend you to complete the Training Tennis School, which includes 15 Lessons separated into 3 Main Classes:
Trophy.If you are facing troubles with some moves here are the controls: Dualshock Controls (Not Recommended): Flat ![]() Slice +![]() TopSpin + Plus +![]() Arcade - Serve Controls: Movement/Aim ShotsHold , , Or Power UpRelease , , Or Toss Ball Flat Serve TopSpin Serve Or Slice ServeArcade - Basic Controls: Movement/Aim Shots Flat Shot TopSpin ShotHold & Release TopSpin With Power Or Slice ShotHold & Release Or Slice With PowerArcade - Advanced Controls: Movement/Aim ShotsHold + Flat LOBHold + TopSpin LOBHold + Or Slice LOBHold + Or Drop ShotStep 3. Complete your first career as Male or Female (10 Seasons) The career mode is located in the Main Menu, you can create a new player OR start with a downloaded player, the stats will be the same. Once you pick a Female or Male you should work toward the entire 10 seasons playing ALL tournaments and Grand Slam tournaments, in this step you should get a bunch of trophies and your main goal is to get "The Legend" which is reach the No.1 Rank and finish your career as it.This step is the most time consuming in the game and you will spend like 3-4 hours each season. Also in this step you need to play the Rivalry Matches which allow you to get the gear needed to gain the "Collector" trophy in this step.It's important that you pay attention in the Grand Slam brackets because you need to face some specific players in an specific Grand Slam and you must beat him/her, this will come in your natural progression on your 10 years career but this may be missable if you lose. This trophies related are 8:
Once you complete your first career you need to start another career but his time with the other side, this means, if you complete your career as male, this time you need to pick a female, this is for the remaining trophies above. Now the things will become faster because you need to follow the brackets in the Grand Slam and if you see your rival lose against someone, you need to skip the tournament and go straight to the following needed, repeating the steps as you need until finally you get a chance with this player. Once you face him/her, you need to beat her/him for the trophy related. Step 5: Complete the ESPN Grand SlamŽ Classics Mode Once you have done with the Career Mode go to the ESPN Grand Slam Classic Mode located in the Main Menu. This mode is like a Highlights of the greatest moments in Grand Slam Tournaments along the History, you will face you opponent in some place in the real match, mostly at the final part of the match and you need to beat you opponent. Note that to gain access to another's Moments you should unlock them by gaining points earned with your victories and completing the Bonus Objectives in each match. In this step you will unlock the following trophies:
This step is straight forward and it's strongly recommended boost them with a partner for easiest and faster results. If you need a Partner try HERE. Your target are this 2 trophies:
This step is for complete the remaining trophies left like:
Congratulations for the new you just have earned!
