Here is a list of all available PS3 trophies/Xbox 360 achievements for NHL 10. They are identical tasks to complete, with the only difference between the two consoles being the assignment of a Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum trophy for PS3 and various Gamerscore points on the 360. If you wanna know which are Gold or whatever or how much each is worth, consult an actual gaming site.
While all of these are self-explanatory, I didn’t find any guides available that actually give you pointers or additional information that may make getting these easier.
Raise Your Banner
Acquire all the Bronze, Silver and Gold trophies
Complete all the other tasks. You know how platinums go…
Gold Team
Be a member of an EA SPORTS Hockey League team that has won a Gold Medal
I have heard of some teams opening up membership to whoever requested it that had won all their medals for the previous season. Try scouring some message boards to see if anyone out there is doing it. Or you know, just assemble a good team and go at it yourself.
If you get a gold medal, you will automatically get the underlying silver and bronze as well.
Silver Team
Be a member of an EA SPORTS Hockey League team that has won a Silver Medal
I believe you have to be in the top 150 of whichever league you play in (Casual or Professional) for a given month/season to unlock this one.
Bronze Team
Be a member of an EA SPORTS Hockey League team that has won a Bronze Medal
Let’s say this one is maybe around top 200 or so?
Party Animal
Complete an EA SPORTS Hockey League match with 6 human controlled players on your team
If you never end up with this many people online at once on your EASHL team, resort to the public games. Just rinse and repeat until someone mans up and doesn’t quit the game after 5 minutes of playing goalie and letting in 4 goals…
It’s a Challenge
Challenge and beat another EA SPORTS Hockey League team
We had trouble getting this one with my Xbox 360 EASHL team. It would never match us up with anything. Yet my PS3 team seemed to have it pretty quick. Anyways, you have the option to go for this if you create an EASHL game and are waiting for people to filter into the room and start things up.
Trophy Case
Be a member of a team that has won all the EA SPORTS Hockey League team trophies
Most of the team trophies you get are pretty basic. The only tough one might be playing with 6 people at once.
Grade A
Get an overall A rating in a match with your Be A Pro character
Stay in position, knock a puck loose or win some faceoffs, and tally a goal or an assist and you should satisfy the requirements here.
Star Power
Get the first star in a match with your Be A Pro character
Easy enough. Just score a goal or two and odds are you’ll be named first star.
Goal Master
Get 25 goals with your Be A Pro character
You’ll get this one in time by playing BAP. Not sure if this needs to be done with the same BAP character or over everything you may have saved.
Assists King
Get 35 assists with your Be A Pro character
You’ll get this one in time by playing BAP. Not sure if this needs to be done with the same BAP character or over everything you may have saved.
Point Leader
Get 60 points with your Be A Pro character
You’ll get this one in time by playing BAP. Not sure if this needs to be done with the same BAP character or over everything you may have saved.
Goalie Legend
Win 5 matches with your Be A Pro character playing as a goalie
This one takes a surprisingly long amount of time if you start a goalie from scratch and have to play in the NHL. Not sure if it’s possible, but try starting up a BAP profile with like, Martin Brodeur or something and see if you can do that. Obviously that would be easier than being the backup for the Lake Erie Monsters.
Out Of the Box
Complete an Online Versus Play ranked match without getting a penalty
This one is all about discipline. I play pretty aggressive defensive that involves a lot of poke checking, which inevitably leads to a few tripping penalties. Just go into a game with this task in mind and don’t go for any pokes or late hits or anything and you will do fine.
Century Play
Score a total of 100 goals in Online Versus Play ranked matches over your career
Play a lot, score goals, get paid.
All Play
Complete and win an Online Versus Play ranked match with three or more guests on the same PS3 system
I hope you’re rich enough to afford this many controllers. They ain’t cheap.
Its Not Easy
Beat a NHL team using an AHL team in an Online Versus Play ranked match
This is exactly as it sounds. Just wait till the wee hours when your online opposition may be drunk and vulnerable and stick it to them with a lesser squad.
Faceoff King
Win 80% of the faceoffs in an Online Versus Play ranked match
Pretty much the same logic as beating an NHL team with an AHL team. Wait for lesser opposition and prey upon them.
No Offsides
Complete an Online Versus Play ranked match without being called for an offside
This is somewhat on par with not getting a penalty during a match, but not as bad. Just be conscious of it throughout the game and don’t mess up.
No Icing
Complete an Online Versus Play ranked match without being called for icing
Avoid any long passes that might not reach their destination, since they will likely sail through the neutral zone and be touched up for icing. Once again, this is one you have to be conscious of.
Shootout Shutout
Win an Online Shootout ranked match without being scored on
Most people I have played Online Shootouts against haven’t been the best of opponents. Just don’t stray too far from the middle of the crease and don’t flop around like an idiot and odds are they will shoot the puck right into you.
Shootout Master
Score three goals in a row in an Online Shootout ranked match
Forehand, backhand, forehand, shoot. Forehand, backhand, forehand, shoot. Forehand, backhand, forehand, shoot.
Or just skate in a wide pattern and wait for the opposing goalie to inevitably be out of position.
It’s the Playoffs
Complete an Online League playoff match
Never played this mode, but sounds pretty self explanatory.
League Champion
Win an Online League that has at least 4 members
Never played this mode, but sounds pretty self explanatory.
Call Me
Unlock 3 phones in Be A GM mode
I have actually never played this mode and haven’t the slightest idea. Next.
Look No Goalie
Pull your goalie and score a goal against the CPU or an online opponent in a ranked match
If you’re winning and the CPU pulls their goalie, pull yours too when you have possession of the puck and skate down and score.
Don’t Let Up
Score four unanswered goals against the CPU or an online opponent in a ranked match
If you have trouble scoring goals and can’t do this the easy way, try getting into a situation where you can come back from a 1-0 deficit. Go up 2-1, then the CPU will pull their goalie and you will have a chance to pull away and get up to 4 total goals.
Pressure Play
Keep the pass completion % for CPU or online opponent in ranked match under 40%
This is tricky, as the CPU is pretty good at connecting with their passes. You are best off trying to find an online opponent that can’t pass for shit, or play the computer, win the opening faceoff of each period, and just skate circles.
Dump It
Dump the puck from outside the offensive blue line 10 times in one match
Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Carry the puck past the red line, shoot the puck in. Voila! Trophy.
Break Away
Score two break away goals in one match
I initially had trouble with this one because I’d get multiple breakaways in a game but only score one goal on my attempts. Then I joined my PS3 EASHL team and they scored a couple on the breakaway, allowing me to unlock this. Easy stuff – just let someone online do the work for you!
Line Juggler
Do five manual line changes during a match
This should be cake. If you don’t know how to change lines in a Versus game, RTFM (always wanted to use that acronym)
Board Play
Pin a player using board play and gain possession of the puck
If you passed the tutorial and made it this far, then I would imagine you would be able to repeat what you learned there.
Gameplay Master
Perform a loose puck deke and score a goal
The easiest way to do this one would be to play a single player match, go up by no more than 2 goals so the opposing team pulls their goalie, then gain some room moving towards the empty net, deke, and bury the puck.
Fighting Major
Accept and win a fight against a human controlled opponent
Doesn’t matter if you do this one in a Versus match or an EASHL match. Just fight a dude and win.
Self Sacrifice
Score a goal with an injured player
You’ll have to do this one in a single player game or an Online Versus match. If someone on your team gets hurt, you will receive a prompt if he is able to come back in the game. Obviously, you want to put him in. Now just pray he isn’t too battered and slow that you can’t score with him.
Hardcore Superstar
Play and win a match on Hardcore Superstar settings against the CPU
Tweak the pre-game settings to Superstar difficulty and Hardcore rule settings. Play as the Centennial Montreal Canadiens team against like the Austrian national team or something.
Unlock Gloves
Earn a pair of 2 slot gloves
I forgot how I got these but I think it was easy. Just go scroll through the different gloves in the Edit Player section and see what you have to do.
Unlock Skates
Earn a pair of 2 slot skates
I did this one by playing a game with each NHL team. Just go through them all and do a quick shootout with each squad and you will unlock these. You don’t even have to win each shootout.
Battle for the Cup
Win a Battle for the Cup series with an Elite league team in a 7 game series against the CPU
Eager to Learn
Complete the Boot Flow Interactive Tutorial
You’ll get this one as you do the basic tutorial to start the game. If you can’ t get it, you better have saved the receipt for this game.
New Beginnings
Complete a match using NHL 94 Control settings
This one is dumb, as you can’t really do much right with such primitive controls in a next-gen game. Be sure to switch the controls before you start the game. Also, be sure you switch them back to whatever you were using before if you go to play online. I got stuck with NHL 94 controls in an EASHL game and it was brutal (although I did manage an assist!)
