MLB 09 THE SHOW TROPHY GUIDE

 

I hope that this guide will help as much as possible! I have not achieved platinum on this game and I don't know that anyone has as of yet but here is my detailed guide on achieving the trophies. You will have to start 2 separate RTTS(1 batter, 1 pitcher) to achieve the majority of the trophies!

 

Approximate Time to Platinum: 80+ hours

Platinum Difficulty Rating(from poll):8.5/10

Trophies: 30 total 26 offline 3 online 1 platinum

SECRET TROPHIES

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/stopthieftrophy.jpgStop Thief! Bronze Trophy

Steal 3 bases in a single RttS game. There are 2 ways of going about this, 1 start a rtts with an outfielder as they have more speed to start, I recommend you do a couple of the base running training sessions and after this is will seem pretty simple after u get the hang of them! The 2nd way would be to start a rtts with a 1B or 3B and just work on his speed with training points!

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/ithappenstoeveryonetrophy.jpgIt happens to everyone Bronze Trophy

Lose 100 games. There isnt a whole lot to say about this one other than the fact that it will just happen when ur not expecting it, if you start a rtts and go thru a couple of years it will happen eventually!

 

REGULAR TROPHIES

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/grandslamtrophy.jpgThe Salami Bronze Trophy

Hit a Grand Slam.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/walkoffwinbronze.jpgWalk off win Bronze Trophy

Have a walkoff hit or walk to win a game. Basically come up in the bottom of the ninth and drive in the winning run with any sort of way to get the run in.(walk,base hit, home run, hit by pitch) this can be done in any mode as far as I know.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/walkoffwinsilver.jpgWalk off in style Silver Trophy

Have a walkoff HR to win a game. <--- Self Explanatory Hit a home run to win the game(any mode)

 

ROAD TO THE SHOW TROPHIES

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/makethecall.jpgMake the Call Bronze Trophy

Get called up to the MLB team. This trophy is rather simple, just play through about 2 years of ur rtts and as long as you do average eventually you will get called up, just make sure you achieve ur goals using ur training points.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/10gamehitstreak.jpgRttS Streaker (Batter) Bronze Trophy

Have a 10 game regular season hitting streak in Road to the Show. Simulating games in which your RttS player appears will restart the streak. This is another easy trophy, you have to play all the games but if your at the end of the game and u didnt get a hit then simply hit the ps button and quit the game and start it back up and try again till u get there!

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/20gamehitstreak.jpgRttS Streaker (Batter) Silver Trophy

Have a 20 game regular season hitting streak in Road to the Show. Simulating games in which your RttS player appears will restart the streak.(see streaker bronze trophy)

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/50gamehitstreak.jpgRttS Streaker (Batter) Gold Trophy

Have a 50 game regular season hitting streak in Road to the Show. Simulating games in which your RttS player appears will restart the streak.(see streaker bronze trophy)

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/2homeruns.jpgRttS Power Plays (Batter) Bronze Trophy

Hit 2 HR in a single RttS game on All-Star or higher difficulty. This is another one of those trophies that will just come after playing and getting ur timing down. I recommend starting a rtts on an easier difficulty to try to build up all the training points to get ur power and contact up as high as possible as this will make it a much easier task. (NOTE: 1B start with the highest power attributes)

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/cycletrophy.jpgRttS The Cycle (Batter) Gold Trophy

Hit for the Cycle with your RttS player. This is going to be a tough one but if you actually play all ur games in your RTTS it can be achieved. I recommend working on your power,contact, and speed attributes to make the baserunning easier if you hit it to the gap!

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/mvptrophy.jpgRttS MVP Gold Trophy

Win the MVP award in RttS (MLB only). To achieve this trophy just make sure once ur in the majors that you have a great year, make sure you hit plenty of home runs and drive in a lot of rbi's and keep the average up! Like I mentioned b4 you can ps quit in your game and just restart it if your having a bad game. Make sure your attribute points are above average as it will make this easier.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/winanyaward.jpgRttS Added Value Silver Trophy

Win any Award in RttS. (MLB only). I personally got this trophy winning the cy young with my pitcher but any award will do, my best recommodation though is to just win the mvp award and u will achieve this trophy as well!(see win the mvp award)

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/strikeout10batters.jpgRttS In Control (Pitcher) Bronze Trophy

Strike out 10 batters in a single RttS game on All-Star or higher difficulty. This trophy may take a few tries to get but b4 trying for it make sure you have ur pitch attributes(contol)(velocity)(break for offspeed pitches) up as they will definitely help! I have struck out 14 batters 3 times(my high) (NOTE: make sure you throw 1st pitch strikes)

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/5gamewinstreak.jpgRttS Streaker (Pitcher) Bronze Trophy

Have a 5 game regular season win streak in Road to the Show. Simulating games in which your RttS player appears will restart the streak. This trophy goes along with the hit streak trophies as you can ps quit if you start giving up runs or at the end of the game you dont get the win just simply ps quit restart your game and try again til u get 5 wins in a row.(5-0) record

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/10gamewinstreakpitcher.jpgRttS Streaker (Pitcher) Silver Trophy

Have a 10 game regular season win streak in Road to the Show. Simulating games in which your RttS player appears will restart the streak.(see rtts pitcher streaker bronze)

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/15gamewinstreak.jpgRttS Streaker (Pitcher) Gold Trophy

Have a 15 game regular season win streak in Road to the Show. Simulating games in which your RttS player appears will restart the streak.(see rtts pitcher streaker bronze)

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/personalperfection.jpgPersonal Perfection (Pitcher) Gold Trophy

Throw a perfect game on All-Star or higher difficulty using your RTTS player. This is probably the hardest trophy in the game as its not easy to do this at all, I dont really have any recommendations except to make sure you have worked on ur pitching attributes and make sure you throw the best pitches you can with accuracy and location! Also make sure you start off with a strike as it will make it easier to get strike outs. And check the Forum post for this trophy to see other recommendations.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/ittakestime1000hits.jpgIt takes time (Hits) Bronze Trophy

Get 1000 hits in any combination of modes. <-- self explanatory trophy but i suggest trying to do this in ur RTTS as u can track how many hits you have racked up to see how close you are, play enough years of your RTTS and this trophy is yours.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/ittakestime500ks.jpgIt takes time (Strike Outs) Bronze Trophy

Strike out 500 batters in any combination of modes. Again I suggest doing this in ur RTTS as you can track your progress, I currently have 200 k's in my first year with my rtts pitcher so probably around ur 3rd year sometime you should be able to achieve this trophy.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/ittakestime1500rbis.jpgIt takes time (RBI) Bronze Trophy

Get 1500 RBI in any combination of modes.(see it takes time hits trophy)

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/managerialmode.jpgManagerial Bronze Trophy

Win a Manager Mode game. Can be completed in Manager Mode, Season and Franchise.(this is a pretty simple trophy, just start up a manager mode game and go through everything, make sure you dont skip innings and try to manage as much as you can, this trophy takes a while as you have to see every pitch.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/shutemout.jpgShut em' out Bronze Trophy

Throw a Shut Out vs. the CPU on All-Star or higher difficulty. This can be done in any mode so really you can start an exhibition game and pick a good team and play a AA team to achieve this trophy. Also you may want to try to edit ur roster and make a team with all 0 attributes on there team/ along with messing with the sliders to make this easier.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/donthitmenohitter.jpgDon’t Hit Me Silver Trophy

(see shut em out trophy) Also you can use the save and quit feature for this one, just throw an inning of no hit then save after that inning! and continue this for nine innings! if you give up a hit in one inning then quit and reload it!

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/10gamewinstreak.jpgStreaker (Team) Silver Trophy

Have a 10 game win streak in Season or Franchise mode vs. the CPU. Simulating or Fast Forwarding will restart the streak. With this trophies I suggest you pick a good team such as the RED SOX OR YANKEES and start a season/franchise and play every game making sure you win it, can be done on any difficulty and if your simply not winning at the end of the game just ps quit reload ur game and try again til you get to 10 wins.

 

ONLINE TROPHIES

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/win5onlinegames.jpgNet works Bronze Trophy

Win 5 online games. My suggestion would be to find some1(a friend or some1 else on these forums) that is looking to obtain this as well and boost the trophy with them. But if your a great player just get on and try to rack up 5 wins. Also you can score a run in first 2 innings and then have ur boosting partner quit after the 2nd inning and the game counts as a win! so do this 5 times... no need to play all 9 innings!

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/joinonlineleague.jpgMajor Leaguer Silver Trophy

Join and complete (must play 60% or more games) an online league. Again I suggest finding 5 other ppl on the forums and starting a league and just go from there playing 60% or more of ur games! Also along with the networks trophy when doing a league u can play just first 2 innings and then have the losing person quit and the game will count, do not have to play all nine innings in any game in the league.

 

http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/rr175/xMr_Unmortalx/winonlineleague.jpgOnline Legend Gold Trophy

Win an online League (must play 60% or more games). Like I mentioned b4 find 5 ppl on the forums and start a 6 person league and boost with them taking turns with ppl winning the league!

Hey first and foremost, great job to the OP for a fantastic guide. You did a great job.

 

 

I can confirm the Personal Perfection Trophy Glitch that Jason_Mraz discovered DOES INDEED WORK!!! I posted in his thread how to do it, and I will post it hear as well.

 

 

 

Ok guys, I can confirm that this works. Here is exactly what I did.

 

 

 

 

First, I deleted the game install on my PS3, the game was updated to version 1.07 before I deleted the install.

 

 

Second, I went to my Network Connection Settings and disabled the Internet THEN started the game (simply signing out of the PSN does not work, the game still makes a call to the network and makes you update the game before you can play it, so simply disable Internet Access in your Network Connection Settings.

 

Third, the game will load up and install to your Hard Drive. This takes 6-7 Minutes.

 

Fourth, I edited the roster of the Houston Astros. I dropped all hitting statistics for about the top 3-4 players at every position. I saved the rosters as "Scrub". (I saved it as Scrub cause I feel like a dirty scrub for doing this, lol).

 

Fifth, I started a new Road to the Show and used the saved roster file that I saved, Scrub, as the rosters for the RTTS. I also made sure that Auto Save was turned OFF.

 

Sixth, I chose the Mets as my team since it seems like in Spring Training when you are on the Mets, your created Pitchers first start is like the 5th or 6th Game, which is the against the Astros

Seventh, I Simmulated to Date to the date right before where my player would be pitching, then I saved the Game.

 

Eighth, Now it is time to pitch. You have the game saved, so if you hit a batter, walk a batter, your team gives up an error, you give up a hit, whatever, you can simply exit the game and reload where you saved it, which will start you right where you need to be.

 

Ninth, I pitched a Perfect 3 innings and left at the end of the 3rd inning with the lead. I did not give up any hits, no walks, my team had no errors, and I didn't hit any batters.

 

FINALLY, after 3 innings, you are removed from the game. If your team holds on for the win, which you will get if they do, the Perfection Perfection Trophy will pop up. A few things I did notice when the game was over. My team did not commit any errors the whole game. I dont know if that makes a difference to you getting the trophy, but if some of you are not getting the trophy, see if your team committed any errors. Also, the Astros did get a couple of hits in the latter innings, so your relievers do not have complete the Perfect Game. You only need to leave the game having pitched 3 perfect innings.

 

 

My PSN ID is "Filth_Flannigan" if you need to verify that I got this Personal Perfection Trophy. I tried downloading the rosters that the OP posted a link to on his Youtube page, but the rosters said they were corrputed when I tried to load or use them, so I made my own rosters as stated in my step by step instructions.

 

Thanks to the OP for the tip, it really does work. I am going to post these exact tips in the Trophy Guide Thread now.

Got the Streaker (Pitcher) trophies... at 14 wins I got put in the Allstar game and pitched a few scoreless innings until they called the bullpen. My team ended up losing... so I started the next regular season game thinking "Well, I didn't get a loss so we'll see what happens." Won the game and got my gold Streaker trophy.

 

This could mean one of two things:

1) That the All-Star game doesn't count. OR...

2) That if you play a game and aren't credited with a win, you shouldn't stress about it UNLESS they give you a loss.

 

If anyone can confirm whether it's one or the other, that may be a helpful tip to throw in there.

 

It may also bear mentioning that if you get called up mid-streak that it's still tracking your streak and you can still get the trophy. Also, if you're still mid-streak at the end of the season, you can continue your streak in the next season. Makes getting the Streaker trophies MUCH more fair.

(see shut em out trophy) Also you can use the save and quit feature for this one, just throw an inning of no hit then save after that inning! and continue this for nine innings! if you give up a hit in one inning then quit and reload it!

 

This says you can save and quit. I got on there to do this method, yet I could not find how to save and quit. Can this only be done in some modes or am I just a complete idiot?

I believe it can only be done in Franchise Mode. When you do it you just press start and go to exit and then save and exit I think.

Great thread OP and great post here.

 

just one quick question, why do I need to delete the update to change the rosters?

 

Thanks!
