How to unlock the National Pride achievement in FIFA 12 - Definitive Guide
Start up Expedition and choose your Be a Pro character. When you get your random team, try to get at least 2 players from the same nation. Once you have your team set, back out of the DLC and edit the nationality of your Be a Pro character so that it matches the others. At this point, you will have at least 3 players from 1 nation and you will have to play to get the rest. First, let's make it easy. Start Expedition and adjust your game settings to the following:
Half Length: 4 minutes
Difficulty: Amateur
Injuries: Off
Offsides: Off
User Customization: All 100%, except Shot Error/Pass Error (0%) and Power Bar (adjust as desired - too high will make your shots sail)
CPU Customization: All 0%, except Shot Error/Pass Error (100%)
You can ignore the injury sliders, since injuries will be turned off.
If you are also going for the Collector achievement, you will have to play each nation 3 times. When you get to your chosen nation, save all of the players you are awarded. This will bring your total to 6. Play that nation 5 more times and you will have all 11 players needed. The players can be out of position, so if you get all goalies, play all goalies. With the above settings, you will have no problem getting victories. Once you have every player in your starting lineup from 1 nation, win 1 more game against any nation and the achievement will unlock.
Note: Not all nations are unlocked at the start, so if you just want to get this 1 achievement done, you will want to pick a nation that is unlocked early, in which case you may just want to settle for your Be a Pro character and just play an extra game or two.
Note: You can play the same team consecutively and dont have to travel away and come back.
1st encounter: reserve player
2nd encounter: substitute player
3rd encounter: starting eleven player
all next encounters give you a random player from that country
The game is giving very little attackers I noticed. Hope I'm not the only one.
By winning against a nation you get the chance to trade one of your players against one of theirs. Depending on what player you choose at the start of your expedition, you will need 10 more players from the same nation or 11 players from another nation. After that, all you need to do is to win a match with all 11 players from the same nation as your starting squad. Don't worry if you don't happen to get a goalkeeper, you can have field players as goalies as well.
This achievement is obtained in Expedition mode and in order to get this, the Virtual Pro's nationality (VP) that you pick at the start of the Expedition mode will determine which country the players need to be from in order to unlock this achievement. You might be lucky and get some random players at the start of the Expedition mode, but you will need to unlock the national team during the course of the expedition mode, which your VP is from, and play them 10 times maximum. You will get a player each time you beat them and you will have to rinse and repeat until there is a full team from the same nation.
For example, my VP I picked was Steven Gerrard who is English, I didn't get any random players from the same nation. I unlocked playing against England about 6 games into the Expedition mode, however, this can be shortened depending on which group you chose your team to start off in. I just need to play England 10 times and beat them, fill my team with the 11 and then win another Expedition match, and then I shall have the achievement. Please note that it all depends on the nation your VP is from.
