How to unlock the Cup Upset achievement in FIFA 10 - Definitive Guide
I started a tournament, accidentally made it a 24 team "League" tourney, and it took almost 40 minutes
Before you start, be sure to set your autosave to OFF to avoid any risk of losing a match and having to start over. If you lose a match, you can simply load your last save data and go back to where you were.
Set this tournament to knock-out style, on Professional Difficulty. Be sure to choose each team that will be participating in the tournament and make sure that they are all 0.5 - 1.0 star teams to make things easier. Then simply choose a 1 star team for yourself, and win the tournament. After winning the final, this trophy should pop.
It is recommended that you start offensively and as soon as you score a goal, put all your team on defense. Try to keep possession of the ball as much as you can by passing it between your players, which will make it harder for your opponent to get it. If your opponent does score a goal against you, return to being offensive and repeat the above. If you lose, simply reload your save and you can try again.
For this one, do the following steps:
Main Menu ===> Game Modes
Game Modes ===> Tournament Mode
Tournament Mode ===> Create Tournament
YOU MUST MAKE SURE EACH GAME IS ON PROFESSIONAL DIFFICULTY!
Then choose:
Knockout
Number Of Team: 16
Auto Fill Teams: No
Tournament Name: (whatever you want, I left mine blank)
Advanced Settings: On
For your team pick a team rated one star, and for the 15 CPU teams, choose the worst teams you can find, a.k.a, ½ star rated teams. Simply win the whole tournament and the achievement is yours.
Note: If you can't be bothered playing, then turn autosave off and sim each match and save after each win and reload if you lose.
