How to unlock the Extra Effort achievement in FIFA 15 - Definitive Guide

*Please be aware this achievement requires a fair bit of luck, patience and persistance.

**Updated 22 April 2015: Added keung360's note to solution for those struggling with the steps outlined. For those down voting please explain why you down voted so we can help you. Thanks for your understanding.

*Update: Fool proof tip - in case it wasn't clear, this exact same method can be boosted online with a friend if that wasn't already obvious if you don't have a second controller or finding it difficult to use 2 pads... have your friend or boosting partner play as the keeper and then switch*

keung360: Tried for a few hours following what solution as described, but I couldn't even get the shot animation once. Then I tried something slightly different. I created a 99 rating striker with max height and put him on one team, then I created a 1 rating Goalkeeper with lowest height and put him on another. Then I started a match up with these two players in their respective line-ups, and I set my main controller to have the 2-button settings. Took me 5 minutes to get the achievement doing everything else as described. It felt easier as opposed to just having to worry about mashing B as it does both actions - tackle, then shoot *video of keung360 playing FIFA 15 applying above & solution detailed - click spoiler below*
It is achievable and whilst there isn't really an "Achievement Guide" or step by step as such, we can only offer you tips & help and show you how we did it. I appreciate it is very difficult and frustrating, so I do advise regular breaks. If you get it accidentally or want to get it by playing then awesome for you but for those that want to give it a go here's some tips:


It doesn't matter too much on who you are but after watching a video by Forza Grifo I decided to follow suit and to be honest I felt comfortable with using Agüero against Newport County's keeper "Day".

Expanding on what kinoo1 did, we used 2 controllers for this and began to try it out; it eventually clicked that "SLIDERS" (various player & cpu settings that can be tweaked to suit your style and effect gameplay, go to settings > game settings, then press LT or RT to get to the - USER GAMEPLAY CUSTOMISATION.

I don't think the CPU GAMEPLAY CUSTOMISATION settings matter too much as you're playing against your 2nd controller.

It will also help to set player switching under the "gameplay assistance settings" to "manual" as to better help select who you want.

***Now a key aspect to better your chances is something that Forza Grifo mentioned; what you want to focus on is to gently press the tackle as to not launch the ball too far away which is problematic across all methods so far.

It clicked that there is a slider to control your power bar!

Turn this down and combined with the gentle tap of the tackle button followed by tapping shoot should pull off the desired animation that we're all looking for. I have personally hammered the shoot button before but it didn't work for various reasons but can still probably work too.

It almost felt like routine because after the tip about pressing tackle gently I was able to pull off the move with the follow up kick, unfortunately the keeper had begun to pick it up so the shot missed. This is when I changed the slider and to great effect (you can see the fail in the video).

***The sliders I used under User Gameplay Customisation that will make a difference:

- Shot error: 0
- Shot speed: 100 (but shouldn't matter too much)
- Goalkeeper Ability: 0 (as this counts towards the 2nd player, but not much of a noticeable difference if I'm honest but if it does help you, then that's what I used)
- *Power Bar: 0-10 (I had it at 10 but something low should suffice as this controls the gentleness of the tackle I believe)
- First Touch Control error: 0 (as a precaution)

With those settings you will want to:

- Position your player in line with the penalty spot.

- Position the goal keeper around the corner of the 6 yard box and aim to run towards the penalty spot; if the keeper has the ball in his hands, press Y to drop it. *Also please note that if you use RT to sprint with the keeper he may make a b-line to take it out for some reason unless that's my controller, just be careful as that doesn't help with the stress levels.

- Make sure the keeper is on the same side as your player.

- Drop the 2nd pad when you've started to make the run and switch to your main controller to run up and perform a tackle as the keeper starts to end his run and come to a stop (please take note and watch the video).

- As soon as the tackle animation is on the ground and contact with the ball start your shot. If it doesn't pull off, start again.

*I used 4-5-1 for Man City with Aguero up front. For Newport County I used a 3-4-3 position with Day as their keeper.


Edited notes:

*A key part of this is to try for a "hook slide tackle" as seen in the video, do not press RT as using sprint (RT) has a more aggressive tackle which will leave you sliding rather than a short hook tackle, also note that you should tackle late.

***Also I should have noted but I sat on the floor for this!

"I believe it's easier to control the Keeper by dropping the ball with Y and nudging the left stick forward and then quickly swap to your main controller to attempt the slide & shot." - n4k3dLEE

As Lee has kindly added, it's ideal that the keeper has picked the ball up'; run into position then as you move out towards the penalty spot (don't sprint), drop the ball with "Y" and you should be fine to then drop the controller and quickly pick up your first controller to move your player up to tackle. /edit



I hope that helps and I've included the slow down replays in the video so you can play/pause as you wish and analysise it all.

Honestly I wish you all the best of luck and it proves helpful to those of you who like me have been struggling to attain this achievement, pulling your hair out and generally wasting countless hours on it.

@Benassi - make sure it's similar to the ground shot in the video, a "sliding shot" like in FIFA 14 for the same achievement unfortunately doesn't work. If it was the right shot then check the list, does it say "done - unlocking"? Might be a delay with the servers.

@vG Madness - sorry to hear your difficulties, keep at it & good luck, timing is essential and it's a pain in the ass trying to get the specific timing. Honestly a horrible achievement, remember the sliders. The keeper is a douche.

@ Alcoholic Socks - like wise with the situation sorry to hear. Patience is key and the majority put a lot of time & effort in. Persist and hopefully you'll be rewarded. Keep calm though, I once smashed to pieces the FIFA RtFWC, that one with the 500gs for completing the challenges. That really tested me and out of a silent anger I threw the case with disc inside in a "fk it" moment. The piss take was the disc was fine but the entire case smashed. Kind of made me realize to persist. Eventually went back to the game & finished it off with relative ease, took time though. Breathe, relax, it'll come.

Glad it's started to help some of you out! Great news =D

Very sorry to hear that UnchargedTerror, it is definitely a teeth grinding achievement, with a massive headache, vain down the side of my head and repeatidly visiting the kettle & PC to just chill for 5mins myself.

But for the rest of you having trouble; Lee brought up a good point, when going up for the tackle I believe I then changed the direction of the left stick once the tackle "was in" to aim towards the goal for the shot.

I cannot stress enough that it really does depend on luck with how the ball rolls, keeper pouncing and whether the player stands up before shooting.

*A key part of this is to try for a "hook slide tackle" as seen in the video, do not press RT as using sprint (RT) has a more aggressive tackle which will leave you sliding rather than a short hook tackle, also note that you should tackle late.

What I did when going for this was combine kinoo1's solution, plus Forza Grifo's and my own thoughts and strategies of going for this. Took it all in and went for it in game.


***Also I should have noted but I sat on the floor for this!

"Do you have to move the keeper at the same time? I don't think I can move two controllers at once?" - xSinisterStrike

As Lee has kindly added, it's ideal that the keeper has picked the ball up'; run into position then as you move out towards the penalty spot (don't sprint), drop the ball with "Y" and you should be fine to then drop the controller and quickly pick up your first controller to move your player up to tackle.

The key is the keeper coming to a slow down, decelerating which should be normal by the time your player reaches the ball.

Hope that helps and thanks everyone for the positive feedback & comments. Sorry to the individual who has left a negative so far.

This may sound like a really stupid question but after you've made the initial slide with Aguero, are you pressing any direction on the LS?

Can I add I wasnt the one who down voted this post. Hell all of these guides are here to help. All I can take from this is to stop going for achievements , I've 1000G'd the last 4 Fifa's (12,13,14,14) and have been playing Fifa since 98WC, Its a shame I let it get to me. It is just pure luck, you could follow all these guides to a tee and you could get it first time or literally spend nearly 22 hours (in game, Im not joking) and not do it. I am annoyed ive wasted so much time doing this. Imo its worse than the old achievements for getting a team of the week player, at least that wasnt pretending to be something its not. Everyone knew that was luck based, this is disguised as otherwise, but in all honesty its luck based. If anyone wants to help me with this acting as the goalkeeper making my job easier it would be appreciated. I am having 1 more 20 minute half session tomorrow and need a boosting partner to move the GK. Also thanks to Iron Man, much detail went into this guide and im sure some will find it usefull. Its harder than No Fighting in the War Room on Veteren on COD4.

I've had 3 failed attempts at doing this, am using Gareth Bale in Real Madrid, 1st successful tackle into the shot the defender blocked it, 2nd successful tackle the keepers head got in the way of the shot and final today after another successful shot the ball flew over the bar cause I held the shoot button into long : (.

This guides helping alot though so gonna keep at it using Bale!

Well after yet another night trying for this, I'm done, no more, finished.

I don't know how many times I've slid along the floor, hundreds probably thousand & I barely ever connect to get a shot off.

I like to complete my games but this is gonna end up costing me what's left of my sanity.

Tbh, and I don't care if I sound like the biggest achievement whore there ever was, if I knew this achievement was in the game, I wouldn't have bothered buying it. It's so sneakily worded as well which is what makes it worse.

I don't even know if I wanna go for completions or even achievements anymore after spending nearly a week on this shit. All I do know for certain right now is that the £20 for EA Access and £45 for FIFA 15 will be the last bit of money EA ever get off me again.

Anyway, this really is a great solution Iron Man & it's really well detailed. I just feel there is far too much of a luck factor involved in this & luck is something I don't tend to have so I've decided enough is enough with this.

Good luck to everyone else going for this b***h of an achievement. toast

Thanks guys and really am sorry for those that can't get it, it truly is and stress the point of luck involved.

"Munir had an amazing shot and was very unlucky that it caught the wrong side of the post. Sandro missed a sitter but here's to hoping they improve." - n4k3dLee

^ THIS SO MUCH! I am right there with you on that, honestly that's what I'm like with new games, it really does effect my purchases and I don't care if that sounds retarded or stupid to some people but it's borderline OCD, it's like a bad irritating itch that you can't ever scratch knowing there's something to "complete". I gave up on 360 as there's too much of a back log but that is pretty much because I decided that Xbox One would be 100% so put my mind at ease. Agree though as when the achievement list came out it looked really easy but this was a curse in disguise. I really hope Sunset Overdrive is easy on the achievements as it looks like a fun game but if the achievement list is ridiculous I'm cancelling my order.


A little tip for countering defenders who potential players that get in the way.

**Set your main team (1st controller getting the achievement) to "park the bus", with your 2nd controller team set the formation to 3-4-3 and set them to "all out attack". No players should be in the box a part from the goal keeper and your controlled player going for the tackle.

The only factor would be the keeper getting in the way (as shown in my fail vid before the shot pulls off). That sucks that the ball flew over the bar but if you set your power bar to 0 or 10 (any where in between as well) in the User Gameplay Customisation in game settings plus shot error to 0, you should be fine. I also had shot speed up to 100 so it eliminated any chance of the keeper running back to it and picking it up if it crawled towards the line.

*oh and one of the hardest achievements ever on FIFA for me was Complete all Scenarios on FIFA WC 06, I got so frustrated with that one I smashed the disc case by throwing it against a wall in anger. What really took the piss was the disc was in there and some how remained safe and unscratched, as if to mock me lol

Eventually after a year or 2 of leaving it alone, I returned and some how it was easier with a mass load of luck and finished the final couple of challenges that were giving me so much grief, the Australian game in particular if I remember correctly with the Brazil and Germany game being a lot easier after I completed that one.

Well I noticed there are now several videos for this achievement online and after studying them all tonight (YES, STUDYING!), I was starting to wonder what looked different in them to my game & what I was obviously doing wrong and then I noticed something. Every video that was online was being played in glorious sunshine. I don't know if it's a problem with my game but my weather by default is set to 'rainy'. If this is the case for anyone else, change it 'Clear'. It might turn out to be just a conincidence but I've pumped a good 35+ hours into this single achievement. I'd say 32 of them were played in the rain.

It might be a coincidence but after changing the weather to clear tonight & trying again, I finally got the achievement. I still had to play for a good few hours tonight but a lot of that was spent adjusting to the tackle. I seemed to have much more control over my player as opposed to sliding too far along a watery surface. Like I said, it still took a while but I was able to get the achievement on my first shot off on goal when previously I'd never been able to connect with the ball.

Again, it could be nothing but I thought I'd mention it as small details could make all the difference between getting this done in 1 night (or in my case, 1 week!).

To add a further few points from my perspective:-

(1) Try & have your Keeper & Striker in the exact starting positions they are in Iron Mans video.

(2) From my experience, the Keeper MUST drop the ball with Y. As tempting as it may be sometimes, do not even bother trying to attempt running the ball out at the keepers feet. I tried it. Thousand of times. It will not work. Look at all the videos for this. It starts with the keeper dropping the ball. There's a reason for this. If the balls not in your keepers hands before you attempt this, you're wasting your time.

(3) TAP X when sliding for the ball. I can't emphasise this enough. Your thumb needs to tap that X button as quick as possible and then release. I say this as I'm extremely heavy handed and looking back, I was holding this for too long & pressing it too hard. Obviously when your Striker is running for the ball you're going to be pressing up on the LS. As soon as it looks like you're about to make contact, starting pressing right on the LS and aiming towards goal.

(4) Contrary to what others who've got the achievement have said. I certainly didn't tap B to shoot. I mashed the **** outta that B button when I saw the opportunity to shoot. As long as you connect and with the sliders set up as suggested above, the balls only going in one place anyway.

(5) Team/Player choice. I used the exact same teams/formations as mentioned in the video only I used Yaya Toure as my lone striker. Again this is personal preference. I had used Aguero 90% of the time when trying this. I just found Toure more of a presence and figured if the ball was going to bounce back off me then there was more of Toure to aim at so to speak. As it turned out, this didn't turn out to be a factor for me as the Keeper jumped over my slide challenge leaving me with a free shot.

If anyone wants to see my attempt then just check my tag on xbox.com & it's the last video clip I uploaded. It's very similar to others but hopefully the stuff I've mentioned will help someone out.

Lastly, I'd have to fully agree with Iron Man and say if this is getting you wound up/frustrated, take a break. Chances are, you're not going to do this annoyed. You only have to see the comments to see how much this achievement has p'd me off but it can be done so stick with it.

Guess what ? Next guide means fuck all to me too. Im sure they work for some, but not me. I spent along time last night, and this morning, and I am now nearer 40 hrs than 30. Im sorry but I cant feel anything but anger , jealousy and resentment to those who have it as I am sure you have not tried for as long as me and that in itself is totally wrong. Fuck this game. I know you guys are only trying to help but I keep trying with no luck. I seriously doubt theres anyone in the world who has put this many hours in as me with no luck. I should not have to spend 40 fucking in game hours on this 1 achievement when the rest of the game is a 10 hr job max.

I was trying since Sunday, so it took me 5 days. I don't know how many hours it took me though sorry : ( as I was only trying for bout 2-3 hours at a time a couple times each day.

Just have a little patience I know how frustrating it can be watch my vid if ye like. I used Bale cause he was the only one I could get the shooting animation with. Also this might help or it might not but while I was attempting it I snapped youtube and listened to some of my fav music artists while going for this.

Really helped n calmed me a lot!

Nice one n4k3dLEE really appreciate your feedback, cool to add that to the solution so those passing by can see it in the solution to highlight it as well as being in the comments?

Didn't even think about the weather factor as it was either overcast or clear, knew not to do it in rain because players slide a lot more etc but forgot to add that in the write up! lol

Thanks Lee, appreciate it, will update when I'm on my PC & not phone.

Sorry maximillion but after trying various ways, this was the easiest method we found after kinoo1 posted up his ground breaking vid that set it all into motion. It's luck based but requires that accident to happen (which seen in other vids that I've never seen once happen in all my years of playing FIFA & over 300 goals in FIFA 15 alone, so purposely orchestrated in this way, this solution, it's more realistic & feasible).

+1 for Toure.
Better than Aguero at it, in my opinion.

+1 for YouTube.
Impossible to get flustered whilst listening to Elbow.

Thanks for the guide guys.
Those who are still trying, keep at it. I though it was never going to happen, then BAM. Got it.

Tried for a few hours following what you described, but I couldn't even get the shot animation once. Then I tried something slightly different. I created a 99 rating striker with max height and put him on one team, then I created a 1 rating GK with lowest height and put him on another. Then I started a match up with these two players in their respective lineups, and I set my main controller to have the 2-button settings. Took me 5 minutes to get the achievement doing everything else you described. It felt easier to just having to worry about mashing B as it does both actions - tackle, then shoot. playing

If it helps get the achievement then by all means, something that could help as it's still clearly giving people problems whether eventually popping it or finding further methods like that.

Thanks for adding to the solution =)

Also, it certainly does seem like the power bar slider impact tackle power as well. I initially misread your setting (thought it said below 100 for some reason), but when I noticed my error and turned it down to 5 from 50, I noticed a huge difference in the tackles.

Thanks very much keung. Yeah it can really help, I'm quite shocked at the reaction this achievement has had. I know it's a very difficult and often luck based achievement but it's quite careless how EA have handled it and implemented it into the game. You could say it's almost cruel.

All we can do is help others as best we can =)

I used another little tweak to the method that made this whole thing easier for me. Once you've made your custom players, adjusted sliders and set your control scheme to 'Two Button', I found that you don't need to switch controllers quickly anymore. Just place your tiny goalkeeper at the penalty spot with the ball, then place your huge attacker next to the goalkeeper and spam 'B' as much as you can. Your attacker will basically just throw himself to the ground around the ball, greatly increasing your chances of grazing the ball lightly enough to be able to pull off this ridiculously difficult shot.

I first saw the animation on my second attempt using this method, but fouled the keeper. I managed to do it again on my third attempt and unlocked the achievement.

Thanks, IRON MAN Ai and keung360, your combined wisdom finally helped me get this!

I managed to get it by taping down lt on my 1st controller and on 2 button mode. Positioned 99 Ronaldo or Bale on the edge of the box and smashed B. With the 2nd controller I had a 1 rated gk and I ran towards to player tackling on the ground. The 1st time I did it I fouled the gk so it did not count, but did it again shortly afterwards.

@SinisterStrike. I believe it's easier to control the Keeper by dropping the ball with Y and nudging the left stick forward and then quickly swap to your main controller to attempt the slide & shot.

I find it really awkward when trying to use two controllers when bringing the ball out at the keepers feet.

On another note, I'm finding I have more success with Toure instead of Aguero. The tackling seems better and I think with him being taller, there's slightly more chance of him stretching a foot out to strike the ball.

In all honesty it would fall on deaf ears, however I think they did make sure achievements were easier as one or two of their games took the piss. I'm staying away from NHL 15 because those achievements look horrific even though I love ice hockey I cannot justify the purchase with the crap list they have for it.

Extra Effort though, it's pure accident or constructed like this setup in such a way but like we've outlined, hook tackle brought on by a gentle press of the tackle button with a follow up shot with 2 pads.

Thanks SoloistProdigy, fantastic that you were able to unlock it =)

I have tried different techniques and tips and none of them are working, I even had my girlfriend control the keeper but everytime I go for the "specific" slide tackle the keeper either the keeper jumps and kicks the ball away automatically or it does a great slide tackle and mashing the shoot button my player just gets up and whacks it in goal....

Could do with someone helping me with this achievement, this one and keepers best friend is all I need to 100% this pathetic game

I finally got this!!!!!!! Hands down the most infuriating achievement I've ever unlocked.

Massive thanks to DonKevani for his idea to stand the goalkeeper and spam slide tackles around him - this is how I finally got it. To sum up:

1) Create a max-height 99-rated striker (I put his balance at 1, which may have helped keep him on the ground

2) Create a min-height 1-rated goalkeeper

3) Adjust the sliders as mentioned in the main solution (I had power bar at 5)

4) Some people suggest using 2-button controls, but I found that my player would constantly sprint everywhere and charge around tackling too hard. So instead - change the button mapping in the menu and put your shoot and slide tackle buttons to the same button (I used cn_B). This means you can spam the same button.

5) Adjust the formations of each team - put all your players in defence out of the way and all the opposition players in offence out of the way. Also put your team on ultra-defensive and the opposition on ultra-attacking, just to keep the interference from the AI players to a minimum.

6) Do as DonKevani does above, and drop the ball at the goalkeeper's feet around the penalty spot.

7) Position your giant striker close to the goalkeeper. This is where I had problems initially - I was sliding from too far away. You want to be ONLY pressing the slide, no running and no directions if possible.

8) Spam the slide/shoot button constantly. With luck, your player will slide around the goalkeeper constantly and the ball may land near his feet for him to pull off this stupid shot.

Have patience. Persist. And persist some more. It will eventually come. Fuck EA.

Great guide, thanks! After just 15 minutes I was able to get the right animation and scored, I even got a game clip saying "Extra effort", but no achievement..
After another 40 minutes of trying I did it again, and achievement.
So by following this guide it didn't take more than hour.
And even tho a lot of luck is required, Im pretty sure by following this guide it shouldn't take anyone that long.
Thanks again smile

Use 2 controllers, have the keeper hold the ball, do a sliding tackle across the goal line (not towards the goal; goals scored from the tackle itself don't work) and immediately mash the Shot button. With luck you should get it.

^ I was thinking the same thing. The guy is putting a vid up to try & help people.

Oh & I just played a game with 20 minute halves. I won 29-0 and got 2 red cards. No achievement so it didn't work for me but that's not to say it won't in the future.

The ball either went out of play for a goal kick or I scored. It never once went back to the keeper so it's very random and extremely luck based.

I'll give you a positive vote for the effort and upload although I do think you got lucky especially since it was your first goal of the game.

As annoying as this achievement is, I suggest the negative voter aims his frustrations at EA for putting us all through this!

Not wanting an argument either at all, we are all frustrated so let's give credit to those who are merely trying to help by posting up what worked for them instead of righting them off. It's the same with the knuckle ball, people were commenting on someone's guide over on XA saying it wasn't a guide when he was just helping *facepalm*

Anyway, it is an incredibly stupid achievement that revolves around luck and I couldn't of said it better myself Lee. I'm in the middle of making coffee now lol Really hoping there is that miracle solution that works for everyone but right now this is the best we got even if this isn't "working for me" right now as the ball keeps getting away too quickly or the keeper pounces on it.

I'm trying to see when kinoo goes in for a tackle but the amount of sliding tackle animations there are is quite vast and this one looks like he slides on his back which takes out the keeper after the ball seems to bounce towards the keepers legs and through allowing a sitter lined up as he you can see him mashing the shoot button (indicated by the power meter repeatidly going up) so it's far to say we're all on the right track of when we go to ground we are hammering that shoot button but the damn code isn't allowing it or the ball simply isn't close enough with other variables in the way.

Right, coffee! Good luck everyone.

I think I added up the time its taken me to do this after my first 2 hour session failed, not including that 2 hour session I have spent a total of FIVETEEN 15! F***ing hours trying to do this. I have tried everything. Trying to slide to miss the ball so that im on the floor that doesnt work.

The latest thing I tried was with 2 controllers make 2 formations so everyone is parked at the wrong end of the pitch out the way, change cpu sprint speed and acceleration to zero. Concede a corner, with 2nd controller switch to keeper as you can pick him in a role position in team management, after the keeper takes the corner , make the 2nd controller switch to the middle so they are not controlling it, then that means the opposition have low speeds as they are no longer user but CPU, then run with aguero to an open net, try and push the ball in front of you, use LT&RT not to lock on, manually slide so you on the floor then tap the ball in, Doesnt work. Seriously F**K EA for this C**tish achievement.

You didn't do "exactly as the video does" otherwise you would have the achievement. Yes we all know this achievement is heavily relies on luck but what do you suggest huh? This is the best method so far as I've wasted countless hours trying other methods, I've even been accidentally in the position on the floor in random matches but it doesn't shoot. This is the quickest & easiest so far and it's only a matter of time before I put the right tackle in "like in the video".

I've been trying this since last Thursday. Several times for 2-3 hours at a time. I'm sleep-deprived because of this game & I want it over and done too with but right now, I think this looks like the best bet to get the achievement.

Why? Because, with 2 controllers, you can keep trying and trying. I've played games against the AI and all you will get is 4-5 penalties in the game with zero chance of getting a shot away.

Like everyone else, I keep checking the solutions every morning when I'm drinking my coffee hoping there will be a 'miracle solution' but until then, I'll keep trying this method & hope I get lucky because that's what this boils down to, LUCK. Plain and simple.

I still think your negative vote is harsh but i'll leave it at that.

***kinoo1 were you holding RT the whole entire time whilst perform the slide tackle? Believe there's a few variaties of slide tackle, those without the RT and those either static or in jog; has more aggression depending on what you're doing.

If it's random we're in for a long ass grind + the pot luck.

Good point on the sliders. I've just tried this method at got it in my second game. It is luck based, but I think the key is nailing the slide tackle where you keep the ball.

The sliders I adjusted were as follows:

Shot Error - User - 0
Sprint speed - user - 100
Acceleration - user - 100
Shot speed - user - 100
Goalkeeper ability - user - 0


I use alternate controls, so slid with B and then mashed X to shoot. I think it is easier if the goalkeeper is moving slightly. I moved him out of goal a bit and then slid as he was decelerating.

When I re-watch the video I see that the tackle was done quite late, so this might be the key. If you do it early it will be a proper tackle that will kick the ball too far.

Yeah that's what I noticed with the tackle being late but it appears to be random. Thanks for the responses, will be trying the sliders to see if it helps. Indeed it is just something that helps rather than a step by step that I've seen people demand in other FIFA 15 achievements that also require luck.

Cheers.

It's a lot better this time, using same teams, Man City v Newport County and having good results.

Almost identical but the keeper jumped over Aguero whilst Aguero did the same tackle I can only imagine luck either wasn't on my side or I was too late pressing shoot *facepalm* as he got up and THEN shot.

So tap the tackle button and then press shoot once? It's got my head spinning because every single time he does that tackle you did (which is really helpful btw as it's not so rare it seems) he just does not want to stay on the ground and perform that "miracle" shot, he wants to get up first before blasting it in, I'm so sick & tired of this I really am. What's more annoying is it's the last one and you'll get some that don't even give two s***'s about cheev's or completions but have randomly popped this by accident.

***just want to add, my attempts so far has the keeper pounce at the ball when ever it's touched. Watch the vid and you can see him pounce/lunge forward.

It's almost fooled the code/program (keeper) into where the ball has gone as it rebounded through the legs and carried towards goal, put on a silver plate to be hit home.

Also note the ball position before he shoots it in.

If anyone has any tips on how to perform this to a tee would be appreciated as my slide tackles send the ball flying even though I am attempting to hit the ball towards the keeper as well as have the ball that far away in the intial starting place (to the keeper).

Wow lot of comments. So first of all:
When I said "this is how you can get this achievement" I actually ment "it might increase your chances by about half of %" :). I wasn't able to recreate it.
The sliders were back to default. With 2 players sliders will affect both teams, fast striker vs fast keeper. Obviously use a rubbish keeper and a fast striker. Initially I was holding RT, but it is possible i let go of it just before the tackle, can't remember.
The trick is to do a sort of a clumsy tackle so that the ball gets stuck between the legs. The proper one foot tackle will kick the ball to far out.
Treat this guide as a tip, not really a solution, but then again how can you have a solution for a luck based achievement?
P.S. I got this achievement when going for the Controlled Defending one, which I still don't have. So yeah...

Firstly, this achievement is frustrating and luck plays a huge part.

I've checked plenty of videos (Playstation and Xbox), read tips/hints and the other solutions here but I've come to a slightly different conclusion.

The key to this achievement is having the striker slide before the keeper approaches, the keeper MUST be the one to run into the slide tackle and not vice versa.

Watch both videos (in the same clip) very carefully. The keeper starts with the ball in the 6 yard box and aims a run towards the penalty spot. The striker starts his run at a 90 degree from the by-line of the 6 yard box and runs in a straight line towards the penalty spot. The striker slides before the keeper gets there, keeper stumbles into the player. As soon as you slide keep pressing shoot.

You're basically cutting out the ball, not tackling.

Hints:

- Choose Real Madrid and control Ronaldo.
- Always run in a straight line with the keeper, with the Striker sliding at 90 degrees of the keeper. Try and avoid the keeper going at an angle, it's easy for the striker to do an angle (if required)
- Use the penalty spot as point of reference
- Don't use the sprint (RT) with the keeper as he will scoop the ball over the striker
- Always slide at the 90 degree angle and avoid sliding towards the ball or away from the ball

I boosted this with somebody and recorded both goals below. It's a bit of a mash up but you get the jist.

Nice one. Spot on with the video too. Slide before the keeper and then run into the sliding player with keeper.

I knew it'd work for most people! :)

Here's how I got the achievement, as you can see from the video I've uploaded you CANNOT get this achievement from a slide tackle, you must be on the ground and then score while you're on the ground. It's gonna require a bit of luck but I hope my video helps to show how it's done.

Edit: I did this in a FUT tournament against a team on amateur, it would be advisable to play against a low level team and turn down CPU attributes to increase your luck.

I was lucky to unlock this achievement a few minutes ago. I have played 2-3 matches on Amateur Ultimate Team Tournament and I was trying to pass the goalkeeper by dribble moves. In most cases it ended with a penalty and red card for the goalkeeper.

Then I tried to start my run from the wing and It was a great idea. My striker was fouled by a goalkeeper but the referee didn't blow the whistle. When my player was on the ground, I pressed B-button to score a goal.

This achievement requires a lot of patience but I can promise that It's possible to unlock it.

(15G) Extra Effort - Score from the ground

This achievement has got to be one of the most stressful I have done!

I tried so many different ways and followed so many different solutions and finally got it clap

So I thought I would throw this into the mix to see if it helps make things easier for everyone who doesn't have the achievement.

First off I followed the guide from ''Hurricane Matt'' in regards to creating a striker and goalkeeper and changing all the settings... Then started a match and tried attempt 1 million facepalm
I was still getting unlucky with the sliding and staying on the floor part angry

So I had an idea...

Instead of sliding with the player I made the goalkeeper drop the ball and with the striker moved in behind the keeper to try and intercept the ball whilst the keeper shields it...

Because the striker is so tall compared to the keeper he kept on falling over him causing the striker to fall over the keeper in front of the ball.

This video shows exactly how I did it dance


This may have been pot luck for me but it may just be the answer everyone was looking for!!

Good luck and I hope this helps smile

**Big Thankyou to EricGarcia4 for playing the keeper**

You want to make a session or get a friend to play the keeper and position the keeper outside the box facing your football player and let the goalkeeper run towards the penalty spot diagonally and the player going for the achievement run towards the penalty spot normal, sprint using rt but let go as you go for the slide, this should be a diagonal slide towards the net and with luck you will get the animation and achievement to unlock, please check this link on youtube.

Goodluck guys

This achievement is the worst achievement of all the FIFA because in a real match, score from the ground doesn't happen, or at least we never find ourself in the position to be able to do it, and even if it can happen, the probability for this happens is very low. And further it's not easy to boost with a friend when we haven't the right trick !

I tried many tricks, alone or with a friend, for hours and hours... and hours, without success. And I finally found the trick really effective because after several minutes of tries, I finally succeeded.

We have to play against a friend. We move the striker and our friend the goalkeeper.
The striker must stand at a few meters in front of the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper must move at an average speed diagonally whereas the striker must move almost straight to go to cross the trajectory of the goalkeeper by sprinting with cn_RT. The goalkeeper starts the first and just after the striker sprint. We mustn't tackle the goalkeeper (otherwise the striker will push the ball) but we must tackle before with cn_X so that the striker finds himself with the ball in the feet when the goalkeeper comes on him. Just after to have tackled, we have to "hammering" the shot button cn_B and if the striker get the ball well in the feet, it will score by remaining on the ground.

This trophy is for scoring while lying down on the ground. You will NOT get it using any of the sliding shots. It is based on a particular new animation which is a second movement on the ground after you have already been brought down. From a lying position, you swivel around and kick the ball towards goal.
 
This is probably the single most frustrating trophy in the game. Highly luck dependant, you may get this one done in an hour, or in twenty. Hopefully the methods below will help you stay closer to the former than the latter. There are two different ways to go about this trophy. I recommend that you mix and match, trying both on and off until you get it. But first, you need to set up things to give you the best chance.
 
Pick a team with a tall, strong and mobile striker. Ibrahimovic (PSG) or Ronaldo (Real) are ideal. Now go and adjust his stats, maxing everything out to 99. (You can skip goalkeeper stats).
 
Main Menu > Customise > Edit Player > Find the player > Third Tab = Attributes.
 
Next pick a crap team with two stars or so. Find their starting goalkeeper, and edit his stats as well. Slam everything down to the minimum of 1, except for his Aggression in the Mentality section. Max this out to 99. Make sure you save after editing each of the players. Then head into a Kick Off match using both teams.
 
Important: Make sure to turn off Match Day squads when picking the teams (triangle). If you don’t, you won’t get the benefit of your changed player stats.
 
Before starting the game, go into the Game Settings menu. Set the difficulty to Amateur and halves to 20 minutes to maximise your game time. Next edit the User and CPU settings sliders to match the following:
 
USER Gameplay Settings:
Sprint Speed: 25
Acceleration: 100
Shot Speed: 100
 
CPU Gameplay Settings:
Sprint Speed: 0
Acceleration: 0
Goalkeeper Ability: 0
First Touch Control Error: 0
 
Lastly, before starting the match set your team formation to 4-5-1 in Team Management. Stick your super-striker up front on his own. Now on to the actual methods:
 
 
Method 01: Run at the Keeper.
 
As the game starts, set the strikers team to ‘Park the Bus’ (left on the D-pad). This will give you more room up front. Use your speed advantage to get through the defence and run directly towards the goalie. As you get into the box, DO NOT SPRINT. Either manually slow down, or use :l2: to temper your speed. Just before reaching the goalie, turn sharply to one side. You are trying to bait him into tripping you. Remember you have to be lying on the ground before you will get the opportunity to shoot as needed for this trophy. If you are brought down and get the opportunity to shoot, hold the flair button while shooting. This seems to increase the likelihood of this doing the proper shot, and at the very least will prevent you punting it over the crossbar. (Flair shots tend to be lower). To get this to work, you need ALL the below to go right:
 
- The goalie has to bring you down without fouling you for a penalty. (More often than not, he’ll either foul you or miss completely).
- Once brought down, the ball has to be nearby. (More likely it’ll be too far away, the wrong side of you or behind the goalie).
- If it happens to be close enough, you have to get the right shot animation. (You’re player will tend to stand up first, not what you want).
- Lastly, if you get the shot away, it has to go in. (:l2: will help keep it down, direction can be an issue).
 
It seems to be better to not try to direct the shot itself. As you will already have the goalie beaten, a simple press of :l2: and shoot should default to the centre of the goal. Power should not be a problem, as you have already maxed it out in the User Gamplay settings. Don’t overpower the shot, a quick press is plenty.
 
 
Method 02: Tackle the Goalie
Two Controllers or Online Partner Needed.
 
For this method, you need control over both teams, either with another controller or with an online friends help. As the game starts, set the strikers team to ‘Park the Bus’ (left on the D-pad). This will give you more room up front. Set the Goalie’s team to ‘All Out Attack’ (right on the D-pad). This will bump the defence up slightly. With the striker, get possession and head to the box. Pass the ball to the goalie to make him pick it up. If using two controllers, you will need to juggle a bit next.
 
Quickly position the goalie holding the ball to the side of the goal in the corner of the six-yard-box. (Whichever side is nearest). At the same time, position the striker ahead of him out in the penalty area. The best position is about level with the penalty spot, in line with the goalie.
 
With the goalie, move diagonally towards the penalty spot, and as you move, press triangle to drop the ball. With the striker, move towards the penalty spot area as well. You should approach the goalie from behind and from the side. This is the ideal position to perform a hooked sliding tackle. A straight sliding tackle is not what you want as it knocks the ball away. The hooked tackle traps the ball more, increasing the chance to keep it near enough.
 
Use :l2: to slow your slide and help prevent the ball shooting away. Also, with a bit of practice, you should be able to kick the ball off the goalies legs in the tackle, again increasing the likelihood it will stay near enough. Still holding :l2:, you will hopefully get the opportunity to shoot.
 
As with Method 01, you need a lot to go right here for this to come off:
 
- You have to get the ball without fouling the goalie. (Slide tackles from behind require finesse).
- Once tackled, the ball has to be nearby. (A lot of the time, your tackle will punt it away).
- If it happens to be close enough, you have to get the right shot animation. (Again you’re player will tend to want to stand up first).
- Lastly, if you get the shot away, it has to go in. (:l2: will help keep it down).
 
I found the best method overall was to alternate between the two. If I was out the field, I would run at the goalie and try Method 01. If it got a bit crowded in the box, I would switch to Method 02. It’s really about maximising your chances in a session, and making the best of your time.
 
Hopefully these tips will help. Good Luck.
 
Here’s a quick video of me getting it eventually using Method 02:

For everyone that doesn't have this trophy yet i'll put on my solution. I managed to do this three times in only two games, but only the third time counted cry

First of all i strongly recommend to do this with two players. I tried this alone and i didn't even get close in a few hours.

Three times
With two players playing we both got the trophy within five games of 6minutes each half. We took turns for who could get the trophy. I started and didn't get it in the first game then he tried it the next game and didn't get it either. So i started my second try and i got the animation deep in the 90th minute, but when the animation was going the referee ended the game (not kidding). Really frustrated my friend got his second try and when it was the 90th minute i told him to hurry and he actually got it in time. Now i went up for my third game and i got the animation again after 20min in game, but now i fault the goalie. But within 10min i got the animation again and this time it counted!clap

How i did it:
I was waiting in the corner of the six-yard box and the other player walked in front of the goal (in the middle). He walked to the goal line then turned around and walked straight, then i would sprint and try to slide the ball a little bit from behind. You have to time your slide that you get in front of the goalie, so let the goalie walk in to your sliding. When you get the hang of it you can do this multiple times.

We both used Ronaldo for this trophy and the opponent chose a bad team and put a player on the goal to prevent the goalie from interfering with the animation. We also used L2 while shooting and smashing the shooting button after we did the slide tackel.

this trophy is really luck based but i give you guys the best method that is out there me myself get this trophy using this method and a second controller in 5 minutes,this is how it works:go to create a player and build a striker with maximum height(it's 7'1 i think) and save him then creat another player but this time a goal keeper with the min height and save him too,go to kick off and make sure to turn off the match of the day.substitue the two players you made and start the game.pass the ball to the team that has the goalkeeper and walk him straight towards the box meanwhile use your created striker to tackle him with L2+O and make sure that the striker moves one second earlier than the keeper.this should probably work if you guys have questions just ask me on my psn account.good luck :)

A difficult trophy. To receive it, you need to be knocked down near the goal by a goalkeeper or defender, and already lying on the ground, your player must reach the ball and send it into the goal.
Goals in a tackle are not counted.

It's easier to get for two while reducing the acceleration speed to 30. This will make it easier to make a tackle and the player will get up a little longer, which will allow him to double down

I tried to do it as described above, but the stars did not become the right way... either the goalkeeper did not knock down, then the ball flew too far, or the player simply did not shoot while lying next to the ball. Then I tried another method and knocked out the trophy in about 10 minutes using two gamepads (the second was controlled with my foot). The idea is that the goalkeeper with the ball simply runs forward, and the player places himself in advance in the tackle on his way (from below or from above). The goalkeeper will either jump over or trip over the player, the ball will remain next to the lying players and all that remains is to press the kick!

To do this, set in the settings:
User Speed ​​= 50

User acceleration = 50

User Defense Height = 0

User Strike Speed ​​= 100

User Baud Rate = 100


AI Speed ​​= 0

AI acceleration =0

Defense height = 100

AI goalkeeper skills = 0

AI error rate = 100


Level = Beginner. Take the Real Madrid team. Select the 4-5-1 scheme. Bet Ronaldo on the FWF. Choose your tactics and reduce the speed of attacks to zero and aggression to zero. Everything is done so that the opponent’s defense and your other players do not interfere with Ronaldo going one-on-one.

Task: Ronaldo to go one on one with the goalkeeper and hold sharply shift to the side by throwing the ball (right stick). The goalkeeper must knock down the player. Then everything depends on luck. Because the ball must be next to the fallen player. Next, just press “circle” to strike.

I hasten to dispel the myth that this trophy is won exclusively by five-star players. The trophy was won by me personally, Ramos. After unsuccessful attempts by Ronik and Aguerchik, the idea came to try with a defender who has good tackles. The trophy was knocked out in 3 minutes the second time. For information, Ramos has three stars for his weak leg and three for special moves... The settings haven’t changed... Something like this...
