How to unlock the Challenging achievement in FIFA 14 - Definitive Guide

This is a temporary solution, didn't want to make a comment so more people can see

If you go to the Fifa World Cup tab it has its own FIFA challenges, all they have is Be a Pro and Match Days, and since there are so many there is a much better chance of coming across an easy one. I've been trying for 2 weeks and yesterday all I had to do was play with Belgium with a free kick at 83 min and score once, thats it
There was one for Germany that all was required was one goal as well, so check the challenges everyday and if there was a low scoring cup match there should be an easy match day for you
This works its how i got the achievement

Just keep an eye on the ones that are in the 70+ min. Mine was simple just had to restart my free kick till goal
Hopefully there is a game that goes to penalties, that will make this achievement cake

You absolute legend if this works! I must have tried the Real Madrid vs Atleti one, where you have to score a goal in 90th minute to take it to extra time 20x! About 5 of the times I managed to do it, it crashed after the game!

It worked! I can't thank you enough. I did the Italy vs Uruguay one. Couple of rebounds off the corner you start with and scored. Then I just passed it around the back until the 10 minutes was over :D

At the moment, in the Fifa World Cup Tab, there's the Argentina vs. Netherlands Challenge! All you have to do is win the penalty shooting. That's it. You're also free to choose wether you want to do it with the Netherlands or Argentina!
Did it first try!
Have fun :)

Edit: Might be a bug but the Challenge will be available the next 4300 hours! :)

To find the 'Highlights of the Week' select the 'Play' tab and on the 'Kick Off' tile flick RS once to the right.

The highlights of the week rotate and change, sometimes there will not even be any 'Match Day Challenges' available to attempt, and they vary greatly in difficulty. Difficulty must be World Class or higher and then you must complete the scenario.

The current Match Day Challenge of Ajax vs. Barcelona (2/12/13) in which you are 2-0 ahead with 10 men in the 48th minute and the opposing team has a penalty. The only objective is to win the game.

Some of these require much more difficult objectives, such as needing to score a particular amount of goals or come from behind. The CPU on this difficulty is frustratingly skillful so I'd recommend waiting for an easy Challenge to arrive, as they are based on real world games there is no way to know when this could be.

FINALLY done this today! Played the Freiburg v Bayer 04. You start off with a free kick just outside the area. Just chip it in and score with a header, then you have plenty of time to score 1 more goal...if you don't score straight away, just restart! Thank god its over!

Guys do you know if in the Stuttgart v FC Bayern match day challenge you have to score 2 goals or you have to score three? It says that they have scored more than three goals on average against them, so it's no very clear. I'm pissed off 'cause I was winning then they scored a goal and equalized it.

Alright, Just got it. I can confirm that you need to score only two goals on the Stuttgart v fc Bayern game. Actually didn't take too long either. Now is a great time to get the achievement If you haven't already.

Would be fantastic but every time I try to do a match day, not only is it frustrating due to the difficulty of the AI being... annoying, but to put salt in the wound, as soon as you skip the replays at the end the game crashes!! Black screen and X1 recovers you back to the dashboard. Wow. Nice job EA.

Ok another decent opportunity to get this cheevo

Play the be a pro challenge on world class I think the challenge is to score the winner with gervinho 15 mins left on the clock just start run into the box and the first action is free kick I got lucky with an ai destro goal but it still popped this and the on my own achievement

Good luck

This week's a good time to attempt this achievement for those who haven't got it yet. Losing 2-1 in the 81st minute and you have to win. You have a corner to start with too which is a bonus.

WOOHOO! Just got it. Like the poster above, Man City vs. Barcelona is a great change to get it. One big tip I would suggest is change from auto switching to either air balls or manual while on defense. It's almost impossible to play defense if you have auto switch in my opinion. Also, watch these videos. They helped me out a lot on exploiting the computer.

It actually counts for the achievement if you do a Be a Pro challenge. I got this achievement today by beating the Neymar Be a Pro challenge - score a hat-trick for Brazil vs South Africa.

Couldn't get this for ages, then got it with the current Be A Pro challenge (three-ish days left) featuring a South African striker whose name I forget. All as you have to do is score a goal and win the game. It starts at 0-0 and you have a corner in your favour, so its the best opportunity I've ever seen to get this. You can either keep replaying the corner until you head in, then defend for your life, or just chance scoring from open play as I did.

Very easy one available at the moment......

Czech Republic vs Netherlands

it's 1-1 with 9 mins to go. You control the Czech's and you havea corner. Just simply win the match.

Just remember that if you fail, DO NOT restart it and make sure you end match and reload. If you restart it, the game will crash at the end of the match and your hard earned cheevo will not pop.

Ok i just did this with the Sporting KC v Salt Lake cup match, essentially you are losing 0-1 at the 76th minute mark and you have to win, you start taking a corner so you can just restart it until you score, i actually scored at the first try so i just defended until penaltys. They missed every penalty (i defended 2 and they shot 3 times at the bar) but i also missed pretty much everyone (only scored 1 laugh) and at the end of the game, before the stats screen fifa crashed and it went to the dashboard, i was so scared for like 5 seconds but then the achievement popped, so i was happy again smile, and because the game crashed it didnt count as win ( i had to do it again for the exp, not for the achiev tho).

No, he is talking about Brazil v S.

Current set up: Bayern vs. Man. United - 1-1 game and you need a single goal. You start in the 90th minute and Man united's keeper is kicking the ball away. Exit the challenge and start it up again until the keeper passes it to one of his two closest team mates. (From here on out, if you don't score, reset rather than exiting to main menu.. as the keeper will always kick to one of the two closest). Now what you want to do is run one of your guys up in between the two oponents players that the keeper will pass to. Most likely he will chip it to his right. Use your player to head the ball into the empty net. If you're not successful, I'd keep playing out the 3 minutes, it goes quickly and try again (I don't think you can restart and have the same set up).

Right guys after struggling for weeks I've just got the achievement! :D All those stupid 4 goals ones were impossible.

There's one on now, Ajax VS Feyenoord. Ajax are winning 2-1 in the 90th minute, you have to score to take it to extra time. As there isn't much time you can restart quickly if you don't score. Now, you have to win in extra time. I lost the first time I got there as the CPU scored a slimy cutback. The second time I just tried to keep possession and take it to penalties, beat them in the shootout 4-3 after they missed their 5th penalty. Worth noting that Armenteros (LW) has lots of stamina, he must have come on as sub.

Also, EA should allow you to change kits before starting these. Annoying.

Anyway, glad this ordeal of an achievement is over. Good luck to you guys!

This can be completed in the World Cup mode, the normal mode one is the champions league final and can be tough so check the World Cup section for an easier one.

This trophy can be quite difficult especially when game requires you to play on World Class. Now I have found a particular challenge that with utilizing the time change glitch netted me this trophy on the first try. Here is a step by step guide on how to do the glitch as well as which challenge to do.

1) load up FIFA 14 and hover over "highlights of the week" game mode
2) go to date and time settings on your PS4 and change it to 09/26/2014 and 13:30
3) go back to Fifa 14 and click the "FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL" option
4) in these challenges there is a match day ARGENTINA vs NETHERLANDS (bottom left challenge) This particular challenge puts you at the end of extra time and puts you into penalty kicks, now depending on your skill in penalties this may be a little difficult, my advise to you if you keep your goal keep in centre he should block at least 1 or 2 shots and scoring on opposite goal keep is rather easy. I got this trophy first time doing this!

Hope this helps out anyone trying for this, if you have any questions please feel free to message me also please give me a thumbs up if there is anything I can change please let me know!

Perhaps the hardest achievement in the game, the requirement for this will need some persistence. From the main menu, hover over the Kick Off tile and scroll right with the to find the "Highlights of the Week" tile. Enter this and you will be presented with a series of challenges that frequently update and change.

The majority of these challenges will ask you to pull back goal deficits against better teams on world class, which depending on how good you are can be very hard. I suggest attempting some time management; say if there is 30 minutes to score 3 goals, try to score one in the first 10 minutes.

Moreover, if the challenge starts with set piece such as a corner or free kick, make full use of it. For example, if you start the challenge with a corner and fail to score, immediately restart the challenge.

One of the slightly more difficult achievements. You must complete a match day challenge on world class or legendary. Just pick one that seems relatively easy and other than that, good luck. You can find highlights of the week under the kickoff tile.

The longest and most tedious trophy.. You need to wait for a good team.. From time to time an option or two appears.. I took it to Monaco vs. PSG.

By the way, it is impossible to replay at the world level after passing at a lower level. The challenge disappears.

Try not to waste your energy and nerves on incredible (almost) tasks like: “turn a score of 0-2 into a victory of at least 4-2.” Often tasks appear where after 80-85 minutes of the match you need to score only one goal, and not miss, of course. It is very convenient to replay them in case of failure without leaving the task itself.

There is only one test at the moment: the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.

The match starts in the 90th minute with a corner, which you simply must score. Afterwards, you must definitely bring the game to extra time and win there by 3 goals. In the World Class this task is actually very difficult, because Atlético (at least in my case) can sometimes simply stall for time.

I will note one nuance: you MUST NOT, in case of failure, press RESTART IN THE MATCH. I'll explain why. If you used restart at least once during the match, then at the end of it the game will crash and nothing will be credited to you. Checked personally. So, if you fail the test, then you will have to go to the FIFA menu and restart the match.

There is still a chance that EA will bring back support for challenges. Write about your problem in this topic, there are already a lot of requests there: https://answers.ea.com/t5/FIFA-14/Fi.../false/page/18

For DLC for FIFA 12, EA once agreed.

You can also wait for a task for a penalty shootout (however, such tasks come across very rarely).

It’s still possible to do this.. I recently found an interesting way on one of the sites..

load the game, go to the section where all these challenges are and we see the usual 4 games of the week.. exit the section to the main menu, then press the PS button and change the date to 09/26/2014.. time 13.30.. after that, enter the section with challenges Challenges of the week and pro player will appear in the world cup section. The easiest ones are Argentina-Netherlands (win a penalty shootout on World or Legendary difficulty) and score a hat-trick for Messi in the pro challenge.

You can't restart during a match... the game freezes. and one more thing.. if you only have 4 matches of the week again, then return the real date and time via the Internet, restart the console and repeat again from the very beginning.

Because of this trophy I quit getting platinum. And today I entered the game.

Open Match day challenge in world cup mode. Let's set at least the legendary difficulty level. We go in and win a penalty shootout against Argentina or Holland. Congratulations
