Road Map:

Introduction:

After 4 years EA is back with yet another new instalment of UEFA EURO, this time released as Downloadable Content.

This time it also brings a new game mode to the game. We have Expedition mode, where you build your own fantasy team while exploring Europe. As you continue to win games, you unlock more players and possible opponents on your way to the top.

Of course we have UEFA EURO 2012 as well, where you can either prove you skills offline against A.I or by taking it online to meet some real competition. Here you will have selection between 53 countries to play as.

While playing through the DLC you should set your offline matches to 4 minute halves as it's the lowest setting possible. You can also put it to any difficulty that you like, so play with whatever you feel comfortable with.

To make it easier on yourself, you can change the CPU Customisation in Game Settings to the lowest on everything, which will let you score a goal with ease, then just leave the ball around your defenders. For more information check every individual trophy.

Step 1: UEFA EURO 2012 (Offline)

Start off by playing through UEFA EURO 2012 offline as any country that you prefer. Difficulty doesn't matter so play on whatever difficulty you feel comfortable with. Whilst winning the tournament, you will want to make sure to use a second controller as well to get "Creating History Together" whilst doing this step. For more information about "Creating History Together" see Trophy Guide below.

Trophies obtained during this step - "We Are The Champions" and "Creating History Together".

Step 2: Expedition mode

During this step you will want to play through the new mode Expedition. In Expedition you create roads between countries by winning against them. In total you have 10 different groups you will need to play through and you need to win 3 times against every team to unlock all the mosaic pieces.

This will be quite time consuming as you will need to play at least 159 games to get all the mosaic pieces. You also want to make sure to get 10 more players from the same nation your starting players or 11 players from another nation, for "National Pride". To obtain players you simply need win against the nation, which will give you the opportunity to trade a player from their nation, against a player from your team.

To make it easier on yourself you can change the CPU Customisation in Game Settings to the lowest on everything. Doing this will let you score a goal with ease, then just leave the ball around your defenders. For more information check every individual trophy.

Trophies obtained during this step - "Collector", "Expeditionary Nature", "National Pride", "On All Fronts" and "One Down".

Step 3: UEFA EURO 2012 (Online)

Now it's time for the hardest part in the whole DLC. Here you will need to win the Online UEFA EURO 2012. To win UEFA EURO 2012 you need to play through 3 group matches and after that, another 3 games in the knock out stage. To safely get through the group stage, you will need at least 5 points. I'd advise you to use either Spain or Germany as they're both strong teams with great players at every position.

There is a trick which makes getting this trophy significantly easier. For more information, see "Glory Moment".

Trophies obtained during this step - "Glory Moment".

Step 4: Clean Up

This step will be for clean up, and might not be needed for most people. Here you will want make sure to win a game in Kick Off to have a match won in every game mode. Also you need to complete a challenge if you haven't done so already. Challenges can be found in the main menu and updates within every few days. This shouldn't prove to be too difficult as you can play on the easiest difficulty.

Trophies obtained during this step - "My Euro" and "Make It Possible".

Trophy Guide:

Collector
Collect all mosaic pieces in Expedition

You collect mosaic pieces by winning against nations in Expedition mode. As you win you will create roads between the nations. There are 53 nations in total and you need to win against each 3 times. In total you will need at least 159 games won and the other 21 mosaic pieces you will get automatically while beating every team in each group once, 3 times and finally for beating all teams 3 times. In total you need 180 mosaic pieces.

To keep track of your progress, press whilst you're in the Expedition menu.

Expeditionary Nature
Defeat all 53 nations in Expedition

For this one, you will need to defeat all possible nations. To keep track of all the nations you've won against and how many times, press while you're in the Expedition menu. You will get this trophy on your way to achieving "Collector". For a list of all nations, check "On All Fronts".

My Euro
Win a match in each UEFA EURO 2012 game mode

For this trophy you will need to win a match in every possible game mode. There are 5 different game modes for you to win in. Kick Off, Expedition, UEFA EURO 2012, Online UEFA Euro 2012 and Challenges. For Online UEFA Euro 2012 I'd advise you to use either Spain or Germany as they're both very strong teams, who have great players on all positions. For getting the rest offline you can set the difficulty to Amateur if you so desire and it should be easy wins.

Glory Moment
Win Online UEFA EURO 2012

This is definitely the most challenging trophy in this DLC. Here you will come up against some real FIFA "Pro's" who know all the ins and outs of the game. The countries I'd advise you to use are Spain or Germany as they're both strong teams, with great players at every position. You can also choose a team with 4-5 stars to have a bigger chance turning up against opponents with weaker teams. 3 teams I'd advise there would be Croatia, Portugal or Russia.

There's a trick that let's you win the whole tournament by playing group matches. This will also make sure that even though you lose, you will still stay at the same round.

Note: You can use the PS Save File Cloud instead of an USB Stick if you have it.

Creating History Together
Win UEFA EURO 2012 with more than 1 user playing for the same team in all 6 matches

The same as "We Are The Champions" only that this time you will need to play with 2 controllers. Even though you might not have anyone to play with at the time, you can still do it alone. Just set the difficulty to Amateur, score a goal, then just run around your defence until the time runs out.

Sadly the reassigning of controllers doesn't work here so you actually need 2 controllers.

This trophy has glitched for some people. For some it won't unlock and some people get it earlier than they're supposed to.

To avoid glitches, make sure to have both controllers charged if you have wireless and have none of them disconnected during your games. If it still don't unlock for you, delete your FIFA 12 Game Data (not your save) and reinstall UEFA EURO 2012.

We Are The Champions
Win UEFA EURO 2012

This one is pretty basic as all you need to do is to win UEFA EURO 2012. Pick whatever team you enjoy playing as and play at any difficulty you feel comfortable with. You will need to play 6 matches to win the tournament, 3 in group stages and 3 in the knock out stages.

National Pride
Win an Expedition match with all starting 11 from the same nation

By winning against a nation you get the chance to trade one of your players against one of theirs. Depending on what player you choose at the start of your expedition, you will need 10 more players from the same nation or 11 players from another nation. After that, all you need to do is to win a match with all 11 players from the same nation as your starting squad. Don't worry if you don't happen to get a goalkeeper, you can have field players as goalies as well.

On All Fronts
Defeat one team from each group in Expedition

All you need to do is to win against one team from each group. You have groups A.I as well as group X. As you progress in each group, you will unlock new ones. There are 10 groups in total.

See spoiler below for all the groups:

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Group A 1 Germany 2 Turkey 3 Belgium 4 Austria 5 Azerbaijan 6 Kazakhstan Group B 1 Russia 2 Rep of Ireland 3 Armenia 4 Slovakia 5 Macedonia 6 Andorra Group C 1 Italy 2 Estonia 3 Serbia 4 Slovenia 5 Northern Ireland 6 Faroe Islands Group D 1 France 2 Bosnia-Herzegovina 3 Romania 4 Belarus 5 Albania 6 Luxembourg Group E 1 Netherlands 2 Sweden 3 Hungary 4 Finland 5 Moldova 6 San Marino Group F 1 Greece 2 Croatia 3 Israel 4 Latvia 5 Georgia 6 Malta Group G 1 England 2 Montenegro 3 Switzerland 4 Wales 5 Bulgaria Group H 1 Denmark 2 Portugal 3 Norway 4 Iceland 5 Cyprus Group I 1 Spain 2 Czech Republic 3 Scotland 4 Lithuania 5 Liechtenstein Group X 1 Ukraine 2 Poland

One Down
Defeat all teams from a group in Expedition

Here you have to win against all teams from a single group. As you progress in your group, you will unlock roads between the countries. If you want to get the trophy quickly, I'd advise you to play in group G, H or I as they only have 5 teams. Group X with only 2 teams won't be available until you've unlocked all the other groups. Check "On All Fronts" for all the groups.

Make It Possible
Succeed in a Challenge

The UEFA EURO 2012 Challenge mode is very similar to the original FIFA 12. In the main menu you will find Challenges. Each Challenge changes after every few days that passes, with different kinds of tasks everytime. It shouldn't prove to be too difficult as you can play on the easiest difficulty.

Good guide mate, feel free to use my video in the challege trophy.

[robinworldwide]

Thanks for the guide, it's great!

I'm very much disappointed there's not even a single gold trophy. At least the mosaic collector trophy should have been one because of the enormous effort it takes. And just a bronze trophy for winning the online tourney...really EA!!?

How do we play the host countries in expedition?? There is only the 51 teams that had to qualify in your list.

On the main Expedition screen, there is a list of groups A-I, and also X so I guess that has the host nations.
