How to unlock the World Footballer of the Year achievement in Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 - Definitive Guide
I started become a legend with an existing player (Ronaldo, Real Madrid) I didnt play any games and just skipped the date all the way until the end of season 2 where you have to play the International cup qualifying games, I only had to play 3. I just scored as many goals as possible and got a few assists.
After winning those games I was told we (Portugal) had qualified. I then skipped the date to the end of season 3 and the international cup started I just played through the competition and scored and assisted as many goals as I could. We (Portugal) won the cup, I then skipped the date until the next season when the world footballer of the year awards are given out, I won the award and the achievement.
I hope this helped :)
Good luck :)
See The Debutant for suggestions of shortening the time this trophy will unlock.
These trophies will both coincide, you will need to have your country entered in the World Cup (international cup); playing in the European cup, Copa America or African cup etc will not suffice. I suggest actually playing a few games as your country as you may not automatically win every game,
For mine I used Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal lost two of their first three games, so I played the remaining three and we qualified. You shall need to simulate all the way to the international cup. A major tip here, is to sign a contract with a team, if you do not the game will assume you have retired and all your hard work of simulation will be for nothing, so pick a club. Back to the trophy, my method for unlocking world footballer of the year had Cristiano Ronaldo pick up top scorer and top assist but unfortunately not MVP, yet the trophy unlocked anyway the following season in December.
