How to unlock the Limited Resources achievement in FIFA 10 - Definitive Guide
*Note- You can swap the player back once you have the achievement very easily by deleting the squads file off your memory unit or hard drive just make a copy of the original file beforehand.
Then start up a new manager mode season with the team that you chose to make into a 1 star team then start by simulating all of the pre season friendlies, because it doesn't matter what the results are because you wont get sacked that early on in the season.
The first proper game of the season will be the community shield, you want to you can set the difficulty to amateur and the half length to 4 minutes if you want to then just win the match by any score and the achievement will pop up at the end.
i've found the easiest league to do this in is the Irish league. there are 3 one star teams to pick from and all the rest are half a star. pick a one star team and you should (for the most part) dominate the half star teams. dont worry about losing to the other one star teams as you will recieve enough points from the other teams to comfortably win the league!
EDIT!
forgot to add you can also gain the achievement for full board confidence about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through the season doing this.
Australian League and pick a 1/2 star team (just in case your team stats grow) and sim away. A total of 20 matches (not counting the 4 friendly matches before the start of the season). Save after each win, quit out after each loss. Will take 30-60 minutes tops.
First of all, you will want to play your season in the Barclays Premier league, as there are only several friendlies (4/5) at the beginning of the season, followed by a single match for the community shield, which will be your cup win for the achievement.
Now to get a 1 star team in the Barclays Premier League, you will need to modify the teams by moving all of the good players of one to a 1 star team, then putting all of that 1 star teams players onto your 4/5 star team that you will play in the Barclays with.
To do this you will need to go to 'Edit Teams' from the main menu, then 'Transfers' and in here you pick the team who's players you want to transfer to bad team, then back out select that bad team and put some of its bad players on the team you'll be playing with.
This will allow you to enter the Barclays with a 1 star team, Sim the first couple of friendlies and when the community shield match comes up just play the match.
now here's the part where I improved the solution (perhaps obviously) ever so slightly.
The game will allow you to use a second pad in this game mode for the opposition, so just turn on a second control, score an own goal with that team and wait for the game to finish.
0 effort required, the hardest part is moving the teams around.
EDIT: Found an even easier way when choosing to 'Play' the match, a second pad isn't needed, just choose to play/put your pad on to the opposition side when given the choice, leave your pad idle and the computer will play your team.
select the team you have chosen in manager mode then sim the friendlies.
make sure the half length is at 4 mins otherwise it will take too long.
the next match should be community shield. play it then pick the opposite team to play as.
score an own goal as the team youve picked take the kick off and do nothing or score more og whatever you want and the other team shouldnt do anything coz theyre 1 star or less.
when the match is over the achievement will come up. easy 50g.:)
this puts your board confidence up to almost full so if you carry on with this method throughout the season then you should get the achievement No Pressure easily
This is a tricky trophy. If you choose a 1 star club, when you start winning all matches, your club rating will increase, turning your club into a 1.5 star one. In order to avoid this, you should start off with a 0.5 star team and win as many games as you can. Just win any cup/league, and the trophy will unlock.
This achievement will more than likely be unlocked whilst you are trying to go for some other manager mode achievements. In case you don’t get it then, simply start a Manager Mode with a team rated 1 star or lower, and win either the league you are in, or a cup competition you are in. This achievement can be simulated, but remember to save after each game, that way if you lose, you can simply quit out, load back up and sim that game again.
However if you just want this one achievement on its own, a very very easy way to get the "limited resources" achievement all you have to do is transfer players from Man Utd or Chelsea to a league 2 side, and transfer the league 2 sides players to you, until the team you want to play with are a 1 star team. Simulate the friendly matches, and the first proper game is the charity shield, win that and achievement will be unlocked.
