How to unlock the Silver Lining achievement in FIFA 14 - Definitive Guide

Perhaps the most troubling of all the Silver stage skill games was the Lob Pass skill game. For this I recommend using Xavi or Iniesta (best passing stats in the game) and using your first 3 attempts to chip the ball into any of the front 3 bins by holding LB and then gently pressing the cross button (B for me). Once you've hit 3 attempts in a row into the bins (netting you a 3x multiplier) you must, in your first attempt, get a ball into the group of bins furthest away by maxing the power bar on the cross. This should net you a score of 20000+ (20000 needed to pass Silver!).

Worked like a charm. Took perhaps 20 tries but considering I'd already tried 50+ times and never beaten 5000, 20 is great!

Worked perfectly... 3-in-a-row with initial barrels easier than i expected, just a few retries to get the long shot in the hole. Thanks!

This isn't a silver medal. It's a f---ing joke. Absolutely solid.

Attempted loads with Ozil, dozens of times with Iniesta but got first time with Xavi.

Great solution. I'd spent about 30 minutes being able to get the back two on my first two attempts, and then not being able to get the others. After I read your solution, took me a couple of minutes to beat the challenge. Thanks!

For the Lob Pass skill game try using Ozil instead of Xavi or Iniesta. I kept stalling out around 18-19k with Iniesta and got 22k on my first attempt with Ozil. Drop your first 2 shots in the front bins to raise the multiplier and then crank the third shot down field. If you aim for the second set of bins you can leave yourself a chance to bounce it into the cluster behind if it bounces off the rim of the trash can.

Other way round for me. Ages with Ozil, dozens with Iniesta but first time with Xavi. Must be down to style. All good options. People need to try these three first.

Few tips for the harder ones

Free Kicks (silver)
Hold L1 and hold down on the left thumbstick to get it to go under the wall and hit the targets along the bottom this should get you around 7,800 points enough to pass the test.

Lob Pass (silver)
Get the ball into any of the front 3 bins and it will multiply your score; if you get it in any of the further bins so if you get it in any of the front bins 3 times in a row and then get it in any of the normal 5,000 bins it should give you around 25,000 enough to pass. But if you fail to get it in a bin the multiplier goes back down to 1.

Video showing all Lob Pass challenges



Advanced Ground Pass
I can't really give great advice for this but you need to do them first touch passes but put very little power on it by only tapping X try to do it quickly and get it through the cones the right way (following the arrow) you can miss a few of these if you manage to hit one of the targets in the goal.

Penalties
You need to use the chip penalties for this so hold down L1 and press O in the green. You want to aim for the bins on each side first while you have the blue circle and aim it to get it into these first then you can do the middle bins easier as you only need to move the left analogue stick up or down rather than down as well as left or right.

Each Skill game has a Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum stage, each stage is unlocked as the previous is completed and the challenges get more challenging as you progress. Therefore, you will need to complete the Bronze & Silver stage of all 13 Skill games for this achievement. The majority of them are not difficult, and it generally all comes down to practice and learning. The Skills games and their required points include;

  • Ground Pass
    Bronze Score – 5000 points
    Silver Score – 4000 points
  • Advanced Ground Pass
    Bronze Score – 8000 points
    Silver Score – 7000 points
  • Shooting
    Bronze Score – 5000 points
    Silver Score – 5000 points
  • Advanced Shooting

    Silver Score – 12000 points
  • Dribbling
    Bronze Score – 12000 points
    Silver Score – 8000 points
  • Advanced Dribbling

  • Advanced Defending
    Bronze Score – 4000 points

  • Goalkeeper
    Bronze Score – 3000 points
    Silver Score – 6000 points
  • Free Kicks
    Bronze Score – 10000 points
    Silver Score – 7500 points
  • Penalties
    Bronze Score –7300 points
    Silver Score – 5000 points

For each challenge I recommend picking the best players in that specific field of skill. For example, for passing challenges choose players such as Xavi, Iniesta or Pirlo. For dribbling skills, either use Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Shooting; Messi and Ronaldo, or Ibrahimovic. Defending; Thiago Silva. Goalkeeping; Casillas or Neuer.

The long pass challenge is the hardest, but there is an easy way to get it!

Made it in 3 minutes:

* With the P1 button held down, press all the way and hit the nearest baskets 3 (three!) times in a row - thereby collecting a multiplier *3

* With the fourth shot you need to hit the distant baskets - from a place we move the left trigger straight up and squeeze almost to the end - the ball should fly into the far left baskets.

* If you do everything perfectly, then in 4 hits you get 27,000 points

PS: my player was Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid

Good luck in getting -
