How to unlock the Around The World achievement in FIFA 10 - Definitive Guide
Firstly the achievement is for playing as a team in every league from the game. This throws up a few issues such as what counts as a league and do you need to win the game. I will do a list below to show the criteria needed to get the achievement
- You don't have to win. I drew (lost on penalties) in the Czech league and my achievement still unlocked. I do recommend you try to win though as it helps contribute towards the stadium win achievement
- Time shouldn't matter. I didn't check myself but I'm confident that it doesn't matter about how long you decide to make the game lengths.
- Difficulty doesn't matter. I did all the games on Semi-Pro apart from one which was on Professional, didn't make a difference. People have also claimed on forums that they unlocked the achievement by playing on Amateur
- Works in different modes. I can't really talk from experience as I did all of mine in Exhibition but people have claimed on forums that it contributed from Manager Mode also. Up to you if you want to risk that.
- 2 controllers apparently works. I just played properly as I had fun improving my virtual pro but if your lazy you can apparently do this with 2 controllers.
- Make sure auto save is on. I didn't have any problems but other people have, probably because autosave was turned off
- Rest of the World and International don't need to be done. I saved them both for last as I hoped they wouldn't be classed as a league. Thankfully they do not, therefore there's no need to play as a team from the selection.
Thanks to the exclusion of Rest of the World and International it means there will be a total of 30 matches that you will be playing. I recommend that you do it all in Exhibition matches and each time you play a game you change the stadium your playing in so that you can hit 2 birds with one stone (there's another achievement for winning at every stadium in the game if you wern't aware).
This means you should create 2 lists, one that has every stadium on the game listed and another that has every league. When you complete a game a game put a tick or type - DONE next to the league/stadium as it will help you keep track of what's been done and what you still have left to do.
Finally I do recommend that you put your Virtual Pro in the squad of the team your about to play as in order for you to work on improving his accomplishments (must play on Semi-Pro or higher difficulty). There's no need for you to need to manually edit the squad of the team as your Virtual Pro gets automatically put in to the first team, he may however change his position slightly (I'd change from left back to center back to right back frequently depending on what team I was).

After making the list cross off any you KNOW you have used for example: If you have used a team in Manager Mode or Online cross them off. You wont have to do this league twice and crossing them off will save time. IF there are any you are unsure of, leave them on or put them at the bottom, that way, if you have done them before the achievement will pop up, but if you haven't you know which leagues are left. Remember to update your list everytime you do each league.
Now play through a game with at least ONE team from every league. I suggest taking the strongest team from each league and playing against a half star team (i.e. Accrington Stanley) then putting it on 4 minutes and a low difficulty. Even though you don't have to win the game. You could merge this achievement with this one:
Again make a list of all the stadiums and cross off any you have done. Unless you've done a lot you wont get through all these whilst playing through this achievement.
You should also keep in mind your virtual pro and add him to the team you'll be using to get these achievements too:
Again, unless you've played a lot of games, this will take a lot of time. I've played several Manager Modes seasons with my Pro and he's still well under 300 games.
That way, you can gain matches on your match count and do some accolades, thus working towards 4 achievements at once.
Pretty similar to Well Travelled, only this time you have to play a match with a team from EVERY league on the game. You don’t need to win, just participate. I strongly recommend that you go for this trophy at the same time as Well Travelled and make a note of which teams you have played as.
