How to unlock the Duo-Hedgeidecimal achievement in FIFA 09 - Definitive Guide
The achievement is difficult due to the logistics of getting 20 people together. I will share my story which could be of help.
I got this achievement before the days of TA Boosting sessions and I am proud of that. I played this game a lot and I met a few people online playing it that were interested in getting the achievement.
I managed to get a group of 10 in a Fifa 09 club and all of them committed to a time to do the achievement when I found another group of 10 wanting to do this on the x360a forums. On the night, though, there was a lack of players on both teams and a desperate search went ahead through recent player and friends lists for people onlne that could help out. both teams were spread between 3 XBL parties, team leaders in 1, main body of teams in 2, and me floating between team leaders and main body providing a link.
In the end the search returned with excess people which meant the achievement could happen. Everyone filled the club lobbies and matchmaking occurred with no problems. For this achievement it is vital that everyone selected a position at the 'select position' screen, if one person selected 'any' the achievement would not happen for anyone.
The achievement unlocked before the match begun.
This achievement is easiest done nowadays in TA boosting session, just make sure you have a couple of backups if people don't turn up.
- Open a private chat channel with the other club captain and make a countdown before pressing search for a match, so that you search at literally the same time.
- If you cannot find each other, do not panic. Ask for your team members to leave and rejoin the dressing room, and repeat the same process. Assuming everyone remains patient you should be fine.
- In the lobby, make sure everyone chooses a player position before they ready up and start the game.
- The achievement should pop up as you begin the game.
Thought I might put it up as a solution, so others may benefit as well.
First of all, try to get the 20 people together. If the turn up is any less, reschedule the session. Chances are close to zero that some player will 'accidentally' join you and max out your team.
You can only get 8 gamers in a Party, but you need to 'control' 19 gamers in total. So i would suggest that you ask one of the other gamers that signed up to host a party and run a team, and you host another party and team. You will both be Team Captains.
Now you only need to manage 10 people with 8 in a party :)
Next thing, before the gaming session starts, create your team (the other Team Captain does that as well). Split up the gamers that signed up for the gaming session in two teams, and both Captains start inviting the players for their team.
I found out that some players don't know how to quit their current club or how to join the new one, so publishing some instructions could be a real time saver. Nothing worse than 8 ppl trying to talk at once in your party :)
Leave: FIFA Online, My Teams, select own team, (A), Leave Team
Join: FIFA Online, PlayerHub, Inbox, Accept Invitation
Now, when it's time for the gaming session, all people should go to the dressingroom. If they have joined your club, they will end up in YOUR dressingroom. The other half will be in the other team's dressingroom.
Make sure that everybody knows that they should NOT press "A" to search for a game. Everybody just sit there and wait...or chat a bit :)
You should by now get in touch with the other Team Captain. If you both have 10 players in the dressing room, count of and both of you press A. After a 7 second countdown, the game will start searching and -hopefully- find the other team.
If not, everybody goes back to their dressingroom, and repeat.
Everybody should ready up and then the Captains can accept the game-settings.
All players will see the list of players and positions. Taken from other people's suggestions (I haven't tried myself), in this screen, all players should select a position. The "ANY" position should NOT be chosen.
Game starts and 20 people will start cheering :)
Good luck!

This is notoriously known as the hardest trophy in FIFA09. For this trophy you have to be involved in a club with at least 10 people in. Now all 10 of you have to go into the dressing at the same time and search for a match.
To get to the dressing room start in the main menu and go into ‘Online Game Modes’ then into the other ‘Online Game Modes’ enter ‘FIFA09 Clubs’ and finally ‘Dressing Room’.
Make sure you have 10 with you before you search for your game. You will find another team online with more people in their club. The club you join has to have 10 people in as well, if it doesn’t have 10 then quit back to the lobby straight away. You will have to keep doing this loads and loads of times until the other team has 10 people in.
IMPORTANT NOTE!! When you finally have two teams of 10 you will go into an area where you can pick a position you want to play in. EVERYONE has to pick a position, even the people on the other team. Make sure NO-ONE chooses ‘ANY’. If one person chooses any, then you will not earn the trophy.
If everything was done right and everyone picked a position then the trophy will pop up just as you go into the game.
TIP: When I achieved this trophy we had two teams of 10. I don't know if this following method works on a regular basis but it can't hurt to try it. We designated two people (one from each team) to talk over PSN and press at the same time to search for a game. We hoped it would kind of sync it so we would enter a match against each other. This worked on about the 5th time trying.
Here is the link to the boosting thread for this trophy: FIFA Club 10 vs 10 (Duo-Hedgeidecimal) Trophy
For this one, you must first go to your clubs dressing room. Then you must wait until 10 people enter the dressing room, once they have, press to start a club game. If the other team does not have 10 players then leave immediately. If the other team doesn't have 10 players, just have your team leave and keep joining matches until the other team has 10 players, when picking positions, make sure everyone chooses a postion, and that nobody chooses "any". If you do this you will not get the achievement. It will pop up just before the match starts if everything is ok.
