On November, 6th, 2020, an update came out for THPS 1 + 2, that drastically changed the XP values across the game as a whole. The previous solution, that was written using old XP values, has been archived because the old methods of getting XP are now much slower as compared to the new method.

However, the amount of XP to go from level 1 to level 100 has stayed the same. So the google spreadsheet is still relevant and accurate.

Google Spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DHfhV0DybXTsMj0E6ZeJ...

The new method is actually much simpler and much faster than the previous methods of earning XP.

I tested the new XP values and now it seems that the maximum amount of XP that you can earn, in a 2 minute session, is 675 XP. Whereas, with the previous methods, with the old XP values, the highest amount of XP you could earn in a 2 minute session was 225 XP, so this is a major upgrade.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This 675 XP number comes from these criteria that must be met in a 2 minute session:

- Holding a manual for 10 seconds straight = 25 XP.

- Holding a lip trick for 10 seconds straight = 25 XP.

- Holding a grind trick for 10 seconds straight = 25 XP.

- Having a total score over 1,000,000 points = 150 XP.

- Having a single combo that equaled more than 1,000,000 points = 150 XP.

- Finishing an entire 2 minute session, without ending the session early = 300 XP.

So 25+25+25+150+150+300 = 675 XP, per 2 minute session.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now 675 XP every 2 minutes, sounds really nice, but its possible to get even more than 675 XP in a 2 minute time span.

This is because 300 of the XP, that you can earn, you get for doing a 1,000,000 point combo and for having over 1,000,000 total points. This means that you can earn 300 XP as fast as you can do a single 1,000,000 point combo and then ending the game.

In the comments of this solution, CrAk ll posted a video clip of him doing a 1,000,000 point combo, in around 10 seconds, on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2's "NY City" map. Because in those 10 seconds, he did a single 1,000,000 point combo and earned over 1,000,000 points total, he earned 300 XP in 10 seconds. Once he ended the game, he would just press "Retry Level" and do it again. Using CrAk ll's method, you can earn around 3600 XP, every 2 minutes. Which is 108,000 XP per hour. Which is incredible. Using this method, you could go from level 1-100 in about 8 hours of boosting XP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below I will outline how the method works and then I will post CrAk ll's clip of him doing it. I will also post a clip of me replicating the method, so you guys can see just how easy it is to replicate.

- Before attempting to do the method, make sure that you go into your game mods and make sure to turn on, "Perfect Rail Balance", "Perfect Manual Balance", "Always Special", "No Bails" and "Double Base Score". If you are missing "Double Base Score" in your game mods options, it is because you have not finished the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Tour. You must complete the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Tour and unlock and turn on the "Double Base Score" Game Mod for this method to work.

- Next, make sure to go into your skater's special tricks and map the special move, "The 900", to a button combo. CrAk ll said that he has the move mapped to

. When I went to go replicate the method I mapped the move to the button combo

. Its whatever you prefer really, but we will be spamming this move quite a few times per run, so make sure its a button combo that's easy to remember and one that you won't mind pressing over and over again.

- Once the proper Game Mods are turned on and "The 900" is mapped to the button combo of your choice, click on "Skate Tour" from the main menu, go over to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and then select the map "NY City".

-Once you've loaded in, you want to immediately start grinding the wall to your left. There will be a small gap in the wall that you need to jump over. When you go to jump over the gap, you want to do "The 900" while in the air, and then start grinding again, once you've cleared the gap. As soon as you land and start grinding again, you then want to continue jumping, doing "The 900" and then regrinding, down the length of the wall. However, there is a bend in the wall to the left. As you approach the bend in the wall, don't press any button inputs until your character is going in a straight line again, or you'll just jump off the wall onto the street. By the time you reach the chain link fence, at the end of the wall, you should have enough base score + multiplier to hit over a million points. Simply land on the street, wait for the score to pop up in blue text at the bottom of the screen and then pause and press "End Session". Observe how much XP you earned and then press "Retry Level" and repeat the process again.

Here are the 2 clips of me and CrAk ll doing the method:

CrAk ll's clip - https://gameclips.io/CrAk%20ll/926b2381-eed5-451a-961a-43f9a...

My clip - https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/ace-annihilates/video/115700861

At first glance, it does look quite hard to replicate and a little scary. But it honestly only takes a couple tries to get the rhythm down. The button combo I assigned to the move "The 900" was

. So, as an example, the buttons being pressed in the clip is literally just,

(to jump in the air), then

(while in the air, to do "The 900") and then

(to grind on the wall again). And you basically just keep spamming those same buttons except for when you're going around the lefthand bend in the wall. CrAk ll also said he assigned his

button to be his grind button. So if you are having trouble jumping, doing "The 900" and then grinding again, try changing your grind button to

and just hold the button down and your character should always grind when you land.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone finds a faster way to get a single 1,000,000 point combo, please let me know in the comments. I tried to explain the method to the best of my ability and some people might still find it confusing. Therefore, if anyone is having trouble understanding the method or how it works, please don't hesitate to ask me for clarification.

Amazing guide

By DevilsNightt on 09 Sep 2020 05:19

so your method not including load times would give you 155xp 1 min. 9,300 exp per hour

another method not including load times, would be to combine all your 10 sec grind, 10 sec manual,10 sec lip, and combo into one big combo. quit out at 45 seconds which would give you 135 exp in 45 seconds. 10.800 exp per hour

not sure how load times would effect this & if it would even be worth it. but thought I would mention it!

By CanadianBeerGod on 10 Sep 2020 18:23

I do think you have a point CanadianBeerGod. When I was testing xp values I tested in 10 second increments. And i wrote down maximum xp values at each increment. The actual fastest xp/second that I found was 50 seconds. (I didnt test 5 second intervals so 45 might even be faster). The only problem I was having is that sonetimes I would miss my grind on the fountain or my character would grind instead of doing a liptrick and I couldnt consistently do every step in 50 seconds everytime. So I just went with what was more consistent and chose 1 minute. But if anybody reading this is interested in trying, I'm positive that it is faster to do 45-50 second increments if you can nail it every time. I think I'm going to use my phones stop watch and see how long two 1 minute runs take. Then I'll do as many 45 second runs I can do in that same time (ending the 3rd run at the exact time I'd be finishing my second 1 minute run) and see how they compare.

Any further testing by anyone else would be appreciated. Who knows, there could be a way to earn idle xp somehow or a way to earn more with a different method, like create a park or something. And new methods with higher outcomes saves all of us time so hopefully we can make this a collaborative effort.

By Ace Annihilates on 10 Sep 2020 23:38

I built a park just for experience. I called it "Exp Boost". It has a lip right at the start, then 10 seconds of manualling then 10 of a grind. Then you land in a pool you can use to grind for points. If you keep a stopwatch around then you can end the run at 45 seconds and get full experience with minimal loading. If you put all 45 seconds into one combo then you'll easily get at least 400,000 points. Manual when you land in the bowl, grind the edge, then spam X,B, and Y to change tricks. I made a video if anyone needs.

By Shand Alk3 on 11 Sep 2020 02:00

I love all of your efforts and collaboration as deeply as I hate this. It's beautiful and terrible.

By CandysR00m on 11 Sep 2020 02:22

Thank you for the mention and further testing on this!

I can also confirm that @Shand Alk3 Create a Park called “Exp boost” works well & I was able to do it consistently every time with this. There is also basically no load time at all in between

There is no timer which can be a bit annoying, but besides that it works nicely!

(**when I first loaded the park I spawned on the bottom & was a bit confused. but after I reloaded it, it spawned me up top by the ramp)

By CanadianBeerGod on 11 Sep 2020 03:52

Ace, what level are you currently, and how much XP do you need per level now?

By Maka91 on 12 Sep 2020 03:41

And, have you been able to test a full 1 hour run in a create a park method to see what the hourly earnings are?

By Maka91 on 12 Sep 2020 04:35

@Maka91 Im currently level 72. Been doing about 3 levels a day. (To hopefully be done by september 22nd. Right now I'm only sitting at 12,500 xp to go to level 73. But honestly a lot of you guys are probably higher levels than me. I wrote this solution before when I only had 4/19 get theres done. So after writing this solution I spent the next couple says using your videos to finish those up. I only really started boosting xp 2 days ago so I'm a little behind on the xp grind. But I will 100% update you guys as soon as we find out what the later levels look like.

As for create a park I cant ever get a consistent time using that method. If someone who prefers that method would like to do some testing I'd be interested in seeing those numbers as well. But I got comfortable with the downtown method and have been getting consistent 45 second runs. So I'm sticking with that unless someone finds something better.

By Ace Annihilates on 12 Sep 2020 07:55

Also anyone who is a higher level than 72, if you can report what level you are and how much xp you need to go to the next level, I could start compiling an xp table. As I progress (From level 72 onward) Ill write down my numbers but without other peoples help, I wont know the numbers until I personally hit level 100. I also neglected to write down xp numbers for levels below 72, so any xp amounts for levels between 1-71 would be appreciated as well.

By Ace Annihilates on 12 Sep 2020 09:15

In my created park, I’ve got it down to a science. I Lip until my lip score is 6500 (like you said) then revert into a manual down the ramp which is almost exactly 10 seconds then the grind is 10 seconds. Then combo all that into a grind on the bowl I land into and start spamming tricks until I get a x25 score. By the time I get to x25, it’s been 45 seconds.

Our actual experience may differ from the Downtown method though. I get 75 from the 10 second parts but only 64 from the score /combo portion because it's only been 45 seconds. I get a score of 400,000+ every time so I think it's just the time. If I stay another 15 seconds I bet I'll get more. Then restarting the run is instant with no loading.

So, in 45 seconds, what's the experience you get from the score/combo in Downtown?

By Shand Alk3 on 12 Sep 2020 14:18

@Shand Alk3, IVe tested almost every map and create a park maps. As long as you meet the proper criteria, the XP is static across all maps. If you do a 1 minute run where you reach the score and combo criteria while also doing 10 second lip, manual and grind. You will always get 40 xp for score, 25 for each of the 10 second tricks and 40 xp for combo, which is 155 XP. With 45 second runs, you only get 135 XP, but it is faster to earn XP.

The reason why is because the score and combo XP is strictly dependent on the time youve been playing. The game takes into account how many seconds you've been playing and what your score is and gives you XP based on that. But the 10 seconds manual, grind and lip XP is not dependent on how long youve been playing, so its better to restart as quickly as you can, because that means that youre spending less time waiting around for the time based XP.

If you don't believe me, you can try both methods, with a stop watch or something. Take note of your XP and do an hour of 1 minute runs and do an hour of 45 minutes runs. And compare in which hour you got more XP.

@Bobby Blane3 Your observation is consistent with what Ive been seeing. If you know what the numbers are for absolute sure, please don't hesitate to input the Level XP values thatyou know, into my spreadsheet.

By Ace Annihilates on 12 Sep 2020 14:56

I have been tracking how much XP you need for the last 20 levels or so and think I have found out how xp changes by level. Rank 50-59 adds 300 xp for each new level (53 to 54 took 4,950, and 54 to 55 took 5,250). From 60-66, where I currently am, I am seeing 400 additional points per level (60 to 61 was 7,150 and 51 to 62 was 7,550). Makes sense to me that we will see an additional 100 points added to each level through 100. 50-59 = 300 additional, 60-69 = 400 additional, etc. Does that match what you're seeing Ace?

By Bobby Blane3 on 12 Sep 2020 15:46

With mods on for perfect balance, could this be automated by a script from a Cronus or Titan device?

By Trombonafide on 12 Sep 2020 17:12

Thank you for this solution. I've been grinding school since I just like it better than Downtown. I'm still able to get 45 second runs rather easily.

By Psymon on 12 Sep 2020 18:01

Psymon, you do whatever works for you my man. Every map gives the same xp yield so if school works for you there 8s no reason not to.

By Ace Annihilates on 12 Sep 2020 20:25

At level 78 I need 15,250 exp to level up. Tis a grind indeed. And I thought Skater XL was bad....at least that was all an Idle lol.

By GreatPotBandito on 12 Sep 2020 20:50

To add I'm at 462 out of 714 challenges as well. All I have left is 100k grabs, skater challenges and 10 hours of manual time. Running math unless there is a major boost for completing all challenges or they reset IE prestige or something, I abandoned doing them for the exp boost park. I have 500 online games played and 200 wins on jam and competitive done as well. While playing online is more fun for sure, nothing ive seen beats the exp boost park method.

By GreatPotBandito on 12 Sep 2020 20:53

Just finished it up, sorry I didn't look at the xp required as I was doing some of the other levels. I find if you start thinking about how long it takes, it actually takes longer, so for nearly all of the levels I didn't look to see how much xp was required. I just sat there and grinded on.
Psymon playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

By Psymon on 12 Sep 2020 22:05

Thanks for the spreadsheet values psymon. It's practically complete now. Just need levels 30-50 data now.

By Ace Annihilates on 12 Sep 2020 23:56

This is the last achievement I need, and I'll probably leave it alone and hope the devs do something about this.

IMO, getting all the other achievements and unlocking every skater's pro video should get you close to 100 (since it basically means you've done everything there is to do), but as other users said this only takes you to the 70s.

By The Last Azn on 13 Sep 2020 02:49

Psymon are you serious??? I just hit 75 and thought I was doing okay. figured people were ahead of me but I doubted there were more than a couple in the 80s. wild. Good job. Maybe now I'll give up the grind and start enjoying life again since I can't be #1 on this one anyway lol. Truly monstrous achievement. Congrats.

By CandysR00m on 13 Sep 2020 06:41

100 isn’t even max level?! Imagine a DLC of sorts and they add a “level 150" achievement! 😂

By Shand Alk3 on 13 Sep 2020 15:44

CandysR00m there were at least a couple people on PS4 that beat me to it, so I'm actually surprised nobody on Xbox no-lifed it harder than me.

By Psymon on 13 Sep 2020 17:17

How many hours did it take you, Psymon?

By HollabackGaming on 13 Sep 2020 20:32

88hrs 52min for the full completion (shown at the end of the clip when I sit on the stats screen). Not sure how much of that was grinding. It could be considerably less though if I was better at the get there goals and some of the gaps. For a grind it doesn't take terribly long, it just feels bad because you are ending session and restarting every 45 seconds and actually putting in a decent amount of inputs in those seconds.

By Psymon on 13 Sep 2020 20:37

Huge shoutout to all you guys who contributed to Aces solution, and congrats psymon, it took me a week to finish the hard get there’s.

By SequentialSword on 13 Sep 2020 21:02

Despite some of my rather blunt jokes about this Achievement and its grind, I do wanna sincerely say thank you to everyone who took initiative on figuring out the info and strategies for this and a huge congrats to Psymon for being the first one with it. I wish I had all of y'all's dedication to this.

By CandysR00m on 13 Sep 2020 23:50

Sitting at level 66, this is the last achievement I need. Should I do all the challenges for every pro skater? Any idea how much XP I will get? I mean, one pro skater is done pretty quick... Guess I can't stand this tedious XP grind... :/

By FireRaiser1985 on 15 Sep 2020 23:25

Fireraiser the pro skater challenges are only worth like 1500 xp for all 21 challenges for a given skater. I mean, in the same time you could get 1500 xp in like 12 or 13 minutes doing the boosting method. If you want tge challenges go ahead but its definitely not going to save you time unfortunately.

By Ace Annihilates on 16 Sep 2020 00:52

Ok, thanks! Guess I will give up on this. I have done many tedious achievements before but this is just tooooo much! Sometimes you just need to go on with your life. 970/1000GS is decent.

By FireRaiser1985 on 16 Sep 2020 06:51

definitely was unnecessary to put an achievement this grindy in a remake of a game from 1999. At least they could have put in better ways to earn xp. But oh well i guess.

By Ace Annihilates on 16 Sep 2020 08:07

Yeah, I grinded this for a bit, but I can't commit as hard as others. I'd like to, but couldn't bring myself to. By now I can't imagine I'm on track to be in the first 10 - so I'll just let this one roll in over time and be happy when it does. I'm at 77 or maaaabye 78 and I imagine some of y'all must be deep into the 80s by now at least?

By CandysR00m on 16 Sep 2020 20:56

I'm currently at 86 and I'm dreading the thought of having to do another 40 hours based on what the spreadsheet says. I started doing semi-idle grinding by having my guy doing a lip trick with perfect balance so I can kind of do other things or play other consiles. It's slower going, but it's keeping me from going crazy from doing nonstop grinding if I throw it in every now and then.

By xaero on 16 Sep 2020 21:20

you dont gain any xp after doing a trick for 10 seconds. I think he means that hes doing a 10 seconds lip, landing the trick and then restarting. So its less involved. You just kinda press y once you spawn and then A after 10 seconds and then end and restart.

By Ace Annihilates on 17 Sep 2020 03:50

Are there any challenges worth doing before starting this grind? Should I try and finish the create a park challenges or some of the skater challenges or is the time invested to get those 500-2k xp challenge rewards more time consuming than just grinding?

By Aardvark Vulgar on 17 Sep 2020 04:43

The regular get there goals are worth it because you get 1k xp each and can use cheats to get them. The CAP placements are also worth it because it doesn't take very long you get 2k xp for 5k placements and another 2k xp for the 10k placements and you can spam ~ 1k rails before having to reset the park. Not sure about other challenges, didn't do many before grinding.

By Psymon on 17 Sep 2020 04:48

You know it's kind of a shame that the last achievement is such a grind. I was looking forward to continuing to play this after the 1000g, like getting better at scoring, getting the secret boards, etc. But because leveling up with this method is so tedious, it kind of kills any enjoyment of the game because by that time you're so burned out. It makes me think that they had intended to add THPS3 later with a ton of more challenges. Otherwise, why would beating every challenge get you to roughly 75%? If they didn't plan on adding DLC than this is a major oversight imo. And even if they did, why not just make getting to 100 easy and then add "Get to level 150" in the DLC, I dunno.

Also, a couple questions:

1. For the multiplayer achievements, can you get them with just two controllers?
2. Does doing this 10 manual/10 grind/10 lip method on a create-a-park give you more XP? Is it just preference?

By NamelessxDread on 17 Sep 2020 09:13

Nameless, create a park does not give "more" xp per se. Basically while doing the regular xp method I was doing on downtown, I was wasting a lot of time traveling between tricks. So on downtown the fastest I could do a run was 44 or 45 seconds. But I created a park where the tricks all combo together. So I spend virtually no time traveling between tricks. So on my create a park I get like 37 or 38 second runs. The result of that is that I have to do more runs per hour but I'm earning more xp. The faster you can get all the criteria met and end the game and restart the faster you'll earn xp. The only difference is create a park has no timer so you have to learn what scores to look for to know you've been doing 10 second tricks.

Yes the multiplayer achievements can be done in local coop with a second controller.

By Ace Annihilates on 17 Sep 2020 10:34

Ace, my good sir, you are a genius! Making a park as we speak. Thanks. Been at lvl 69 the entire week.

By EricGarcia4 on 17 Sep 2020 15:24

@OneHandStance @Ace Annihilates

Basically what Ace said, but adding to that, I also build a 10x multiplier on the lip and get about 65000k x 10 to get a bonus 150xp. Takes about 2 minutes per run. Much slower, but a little less tedious given that I get to do other things. Sorry for not clarifying in the original comment, was at work and couldn't comment in depth.

By xaero on 17 Sep 2020 15:32

Not to take away from yours Ace. I made a map called The View to Level 100. Just made it scenic and something to look at for the next 60+ hours 😂. Thanks

By EricGarcia4 on 17 Sep 2020 17:02

@EricGarcia4

I just happened to find yours by chance and used it for a bit. It's great haha, thanks for making the park.

By xaero on 17 Sep 2020 18:07

Use any park or level you want. Whatever makes the grind less of a chore for you guys. At this point there are a lot of options, everybody doesnt have to use the same one.

By Ace Annihilates on 17 Sep 2020 22:39

So maybe I'm dumb because I haven't played around w/ CAP a ton yet but in trying to speed up the process by going to some of the Parks mentioned here, my skater doesn't seem to spawn properly at the start of the paths in question but instead just spawns in, like, the middle of the park. Do I need to access the park in some different game mode or am I doing something basic af wrong?

By CandysR00m on 18 Sep 2020 04:05

Idk. I have experienced the same thing with other peoples parks too. I dont really know how to fix it, I did seem to start spawning correctly by restarting the map a couple times. But create a parks are definitely glitchy.

By Ace Annihilates on 18 Sep 2020 04:22

@CandysR00m yah when I first load a create a park. I always load at the bottom. when i quit out and go to the main menu then select "Recently played" from create a park (or something like that) then it will spawn me in the correct spot.

happens on every map I've tried so far

By CanadianBeerGod on 18 Sep 2020 14:58

I really hate achievements like this. I've done everything in the game. Every objective, every gap, every get there, every challenge for a created skater and multiple pros, played over 100 games online, got obscene combos and high scores. I've enjoyed every second of playing this game so far and I'm level 67. According to the spreadsheet that's about 25% of the way to 100. So after such an amazing experience, it's let down by the fact I now have to grind out the same level over and over and over for 67 hours?! Even if I did 3 hours a day (which isn't realistic for me) that's a month of boring myself stupid for one achievement. Ugh.

Rant aside though, your guide is great. Thanks for the breakdown and the map.

By LordShaxx on 18 Sep 2020 15:26

Turbo boosting is the only way to go for me. Playing on my 360 or PS4 during the time. Will take forever though, around 350-400 hours, lol.

By FireRaiser1985 on 18 Sep 2020 15:33

Damn, 6 people already got it? How is this even temporally possible? There's only so many hours in the day. These people must not be sleeping, let alone working a 9 to 5, lol. Unless there's some kind of trick I don't know about. I've been going hard over the weekend and still not even close.

By NamelessxDread on 20 Sep 2020 18:45

I do work a full time job, 6AM - 2PM. I already had the Wednesday I started really grinding scheduled off for unrelated reasons, so I took 2 days off to extended it to the weekend and grinded during that time. I don't know how hard you have been going, but I played until I noticed I was making too many mistakes which was sometimes over 24hrs, then took a 1-2 hour nap and started again. Watched a lot of YouTube and Twitch during that time to keep my mind off the grind.

By Psymon on 20 Sep 2020 19:38

Yeah I'm sure I could have had this by now if I devoted all my free time to it. Just haven't been able to bring myself to. Was hoping to still get into the first 10, but seems improbable by now. I'm at 82 or maybe 83, which is still less than halfway done haha

By CandysR00m on 21 Sep 2020 00:49

I'm also only at 83. Been playing too much among us with my friends that I've neglected to do the 2-3 levels a day I promised myself I'd do.

By Ace Annihilates on 21 Sep 2020 01:38

Yeah ranking up to 100 is quite the grind. I've done 638/714 challenges and the hard "get theres" and I'm still just a 76. What we really need is a THPS3 DLC.

By Coojo78 on 21 Sep 2020 02:01

My girl got this wrapped up for me, and she's never even attempted a grind like this. Just get er done boys. I'm convinced If I wasn't working for the last 40 days straight, and a solid week of 12 hour shifts, I would of been awfully close to Psymon ;) but alas life.

By GreatPotBandito on 21 Sep 2020 02:17

@candysR00m Are you sure 83 is only the halfway mark? I thought each level was only about 400 xp more than the last.

By NamelessxDread on 21 Sep 2020 09:35

84 is a more accurate halfway mark. At level 84 you've earned about 400,000 of about 800,000 xp.

The achievement sucks hard but thx for your effort Ace.

By Cult of Puma on 23 Sep 2020 06:11

It really does suck. The grind gets to be such a chore near the end too.

By Ace Annihilates on 23 Sep 2020 08:46

Wow. Massive congrats to all of you who got it and were able to complete the game within the first ten.

And now that I missed that milestone, I can stop caring about this indefinitely and go back to enjoying the game lmao

By CandysR00m on 23 Sep 2020 17:29

Guessing it goes nowhere, but I've been tweeting Vicarious Visions/THPS game to hopefully get a double XP weekend or some other adjustment. I get the game has only been out for a few weeks now, but after completing basically all the major challenges, we should be 90%+ of the way there. This is a really shitty way to extend the play time artificially.

By Ya Big Goof on 23 Sep 2020 19:11

Thank u i made a custom park and hit level 101 in a lil over 72 hours i uploaded my park name XP farm if anyones wants to use it.

By TOPSHOT614 on 27 Sep 2020 13:41

I don't mind a bit of grinding, but this is insane. It's the worst grinding achievement i've seen in a long time. I just hope that they alter the XP bonus or something like that. If that doesn't happen... I'm good with 970GS...

By VAS taijyn on 30 Sep 2020 14:36

I highly recommend the turbo controller method.

By FireRaiser1985 on 30 Sep 2020 14:41

I would do the turbo controller method if it was possible to find one. That being said, I seriously underestimated how long the 90s take. I thought I was going to be done last weekend but I was in for a rude awakening. Also, fatigue is a real thing. It's one thing to plan to grind for like 10-12 hours straight on a saturday until your neck starts hurting or you get hungry, then eating and getting super sleepy. I'm currently at 96 and still can only manage about 3 hours a day after work without getting burned out. This is pretty much the ultimate grind. Don't remember anything taking this long to level up. I've basically had a playlist of every Longmont Potion Castle album ever going and have been listening to it from beginning to end just to keep from losing my mind.

By NamelessxDread on 30 Sep 2020 19:37

So, it's getting harder and harder to grind for this because EVERY SINGLE DAY when I log into the game and try to get into the park, it's a freaking nightmare. This stupid game is taking longer and longer and longer to load parks properly. Is anyone lese having this issue? Is simply won't show all categories, say I'm offline, not load the info for the park so the spawn is not at the correctly place, everything that can go wrong with this pile of shit of a game goes.

On top of that my XBox fans also go full blast like it's some goddam miracle to render a menu with some pictures and it's demanding every single resource from my One X. When game loads, of course fans stop spinnings because yeah. It's the menu that is hard to render.

On top of a stupid ass grind, I have to deal with a broken menu system. Am I the only one???

By SiegfriedX on 01 Oct 2020 18:36

@SiegfriedX I have a regular Xbox One and just don't close out the game when I'm done, then just have the Xbox on standby. I also use the Downtown level to grind, so I don't know about what the create-a-parks are like. Everything seems fine, although I recently had to replace my power brick because it died while playing this.

By NamelessxDread on 01 Oct 2020 19:47

Yeah, I cannot keep the game running because I play other stuff and grind a little every day. Using regular levels you won't have any issue at all. It's the create a park system that seems to be getting worse everyday.

By SiegfriedX on 01 Oct 2020 20:20

This feels like it just has to be a mistake or something. Even if you completed every single challenge, that would get you to maybe level 85 at best? And I mean EVERY challenge, hard times, secret scores, etc. That’s still entire days worth of grinding left to get to 100. Either that or it’s just meant for people will will be playing this online for months to come and will eventually get there with the trickle of xp that will get them. But those people aren’t playing for the completion, so we’re back to “wtf?”

By thanatos8285 on 04 Oct 2020 18:06

I did pretty much everything (Secret Premier Boards On All Levels) everything there is to do, and I am only on level 91 lol I don't have a "turbo controller" to help me, all I do is play online and get reported as a cheater for winning constantly. This grinding method is very helpful and fast but can be a bit boring after 1 hour. I hope they make a DLC achievement for unlocking all secret boards.

By edwiitos on 04 Oct 2020 20:19

I'm spawning on the ground instead of in the custom park, how do I spawn in the actual structure?

By UsedRobot on 04 Oct 2020 22:51

Have done all achievements I can do besides this and 4 glitched achievements for me. Currently at level 67, according to the spreadsheet I’ll have to do this 4,880 times to get to level 100. I’ve grinded games before but this is a big task.

By VoicelessMidget on 04 Oct 2020 23:03

@usedrobot I'm not 100 percent sure, sometimes custom parks bug out like that. Usually pressing "end game" and restart run will eventually put you in the right position. Idk why custom parks are so glitchy.

By Ace Annihilates on 05 Oct 2020 11:37

For your custom track when you say the hallway manual is 10 seconds, is that with holding down A during the manual or without doing that? That changes the speed pretty drastically.

By erobert3 on 09 Oct 2020 00:53

By erobert3 on 09 Oct 2020 01:08

@erobert3 Don't hold A.

Level 97 on this. Almost there, but I pretty much can't take it anymore. One of the worst grinds I have ever done.

By SiegfriedX on 09 Oct 2020 01:16

@erobert3 there is no need to hold a during a manual. Just make sure to press a at the end so you can do the grind on the pool.

By Ace Annihilates on 09 Oct 2020 02:10

Great guide Ace! I’ve been using your CAP map to grind this out. After a few hundred goes I’ve noticed I need to lip for 6600 points to get to 10 secs, the manual is 9.5s long so you lose 1xp here but still almost perfect and the grind for me is 31500 points to reach 10s. But I’m not getting anymore than 26-27xp with the score and combo, even if I get it over 400,000. So I’m mostly averaging 125xp per run (5x25). Am I missing something there?

By VoicelessMidget on 10 Oct 2020 21:25

No you're not missing anything. The amount if xp you earn for score and combo is related to 2 things, 1 of them is the amount of time that has passed (up to 2 minutes) and the other is how high your score and multiplier were. So even if you reach the adequate score and multiplier, you are only going to earn the maximum xp that can be earned at that second you ended the game.

This might be easier to imagine. Imagine when you started a run you had 250,000 score and an 8x combo in the first second. You could end the game right then but you would only get 1 xp for combo and 1 xp for score. Say then you did another run and had 250,000 points and an 8x combo in the first 10 seconds. You would only get about 5 xp for score and 5 xp for combo. But if you had only 50,000 score and a 4x combo after 10 seconds you might only get 2 xp for score and 2 xp for combo.

Basically every second (out of 2 minutes) has a maximum xp value it can give if you've reached a certain score and combo threshold. For my create a park you are completing a run in around 38-40 seconds. The maximum score or combo xp you can earn at second 38 is 24 xp. And seconds 39 and 40 is 25 xp. So you should be getting 125 per run. That is the correct amount. But the faster you can do it the faster you will level up. So if you can actually shoot for 24 xp for combo and score (meaning it only took you around 38 seconds to do the whole cycle) you will be getting significantly more xp in the longrun.

By Ace Annihilates on 11 Oct 2020 05:49

New update rolling out today for THPS. They are reducing the XP gain for short runs.

I haven't noticed an XP difference for my 45 second run on Skate Park after the update.

By Bonkekook on 21 Oct 2020 01:53

Ah glad to know. Was worried when i saw the update notes. Have not had time to start doing the grind yet.

By Ryan D Stimo on 21 Oct 2020 08:22

read about some Macros via Remote play. But actually for PS4. Maybe someone get it to work with Xbox. Would be nice cause the grind is pain in the a**

By urkman5000 on 28 Oct 2020 07:50

Just saw that there's an update which adds separate tours for each character. Does anyone know how much XP you can net that way, is it faster?

By erobert3 on 06 Nov 2020 22:48

It looks like they have doubled the amount of XP you get from high combos.

By Ryan D Stimo on 07 Nov 2020 16:31

If you do a single session and do the manual, grind, lip for 10 seconds and get a 1 million point combo you get 675xp in 2 minutes

By Sharpe on 07 Nov 2020 20:30

Dang if they changed xp i might need to update my solution.

By Ace Annihilates on 07 Nov 2020 21:24

Rip ratio.

By FireRaiser1985 on 07 Nov 2020 21:25

I still have some testing to do when I get home but I'm anticipating that my method is still the fastest way to get xp, but they probably just multiplied the values so that you get more per run. I'll update the solution accordingly once I find out.

By Ace Annihilates on 08 Nov 2020 03:32

Alright yall. It took a couple hours but i think Ive updated the solution to the best of my ability, based on the new numbers.

By Ace Annihilates on 08 Nov 2020 06:44

Here's what I've been doing for xp. Gives 300xp every 15 seconds with load times.

https://gameclips.io/CrAk%20ll/926b2381-eed5-451a-961a-43f9a...

I also rebound grind to LT to make it easier to spam specials.

By CrAk ll on 08 Nov 2020 23:37

Lol.

By FireRaiser1985 on 08 Nov 2020 23:43

@CrAk ll do you mind if I put your clip and method into the solution? I think you have the right idea. Get a 1 million point combo as fast as possible and end the game for 300 xp. I figured it was possible to get 1 million point way faster but I was thinking about consistency. As long as your method is consistent and learnable/accessible then I'd argue that the clip you just posted really is the fastest method.

Also what button combo do you have "the 900" bound to?

By Ace Annihilates on 09 Nov 2020 02:27

@Ace Annihilates. Go ahead, I have the 900 set to up down x, that's easiest for me to spam without messing up. And I have LT as grind so I just hold that and its one less button I have to press. You can probably get to 1M faster by doing 900s and manuals, or if another map has a better grind, but this worked best for me.

By CrAk ll on 09 Nov 2020 03:11

Honestly, I thought it looked kinda difficult to make consistent and work every time just from watching and then I tried it myself and it was amazingly consistent. I think this is a great find.

By Ace Annihilates on 09 Nov 2020 04:26

Glad to help. Thanks for keeping the solution up to date, appreciate the effort.

By CrAk ll on 09 Nov 2020 05:55

I've found manuals and 900's to be not only faster but easier as well.

By DatBoiJakenator on 09 Nov 2020 17:33

Thank you Ace for keeping the guide updated and major thanks to Crak II for finding this really fast solution. Played for a bit less than an hour and leveled up 4 times. Just wish now I didn’t waste 10+ hours on Aces CAP grinding away for that measily 125xp per run. Though I do feel sorry for the other people that went to 100 like that.

By VoicelessMidget on 09 Nov 2020 21:31

I was not able to actually get 1 million points using the 900 and manuals. Maybe you're playing on a different control scheme but it's a nightmare on default controls.

By Ace Annihilates on 10 Nov 2020 06:52

Thanks for the update - tried the new method out but I’d realistically say you get 300 xp every 12 seconds. Most of my runs are 8-10 seconds but then the time to end run and reload (and I’m on a series x) it is more like 12 seconds. This works out at 90,000 an hour which is a lot more realistic in my opinion.

By The Manic Moose on 14 Nov 2020 11:25

Has the update made it easier to get xp? I'm at level 54 and only been playing for 3 days. I wouldn't say I'm a particularly good player. Conscious that the levels take longer to level up as you go up though and mine has slowed dramatically after 50.

By I8ITackyticsI8I on 30 Nov 2020 02:28

The update has practically made earning xp 8x faster than it used to be.

By Ace Annihilates on 30 Nov 2020 23:36

@CanadianBeerGod Its been a month or so since they changed it so my memories a little hazy, but i remember there being something stupid that stopped CAP from being viable anymore. Like i think you just straight up cant earn xp in CAP anymore ir something like that

By Ace Annihilates on 02 Dec 2020 01:14

Thank god it was made quicker, I knew it was wise to wait.

By Mack Stardust on 02 Dec 2020 17:14

Okay so I've devised a method that's almost 2x quicker, you can get 1,000,000 points in about 5-7 seconds as opposed to 10. It's MUCH busier than the one posted but can help speed things up.

https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/mack-stardust/video/118136522

First you want to grind the sidewalk rather than the wall. 900 into the rail, and make sure you register a grind before doing another 900. Basically you want to clock in 5 900's and one other special trick of your choice (I suggest Varial McTwist or anything for 4k points) before landing, if you get a proper grind in between all of them, then you should end up with an 11 multiplier and around 91k points, which should JUST get you over the 1m threshold. Your combo should look like...

900 + grind + 900 + grind + 900 + grind + 900 + grind + 900 + grind + Varial McTwist (or whatever you want)

It sounds (and is) pretty chaotic but shouldn't take too long to nail the routine of. Good luck.

By Mack Stardust on 04 Dec 2020 05:43

Since the update, this has gotten a lot more bearable. I went from level 64 to 100 in a few days of grinding for a couple of hours a day with this method. Great solution.

By Clankk OG on 16 Dec 2020 13:20

you do not get anywhere near 108,000 exp in an hour. that would be ten levels per hour, which is not the case. you get somewhere between 10k and 15k per hour

By xxBOYSETSFIRExx on 27 Dec 2020 18:17

Unless they changed the xp values, which I dont think they did, you should be getting 300 xp about every 10-15 seconds. If you're not getting thise results then you might not be doing the method correctly.

Even playing full 2 minute sessions for an entire hour would net you around 20,000 xp per hour.

By Ace Annihilates on 27 Dec 2020 22:26

You should be getting about 72,000 xp per hour, if your runs take 15 seconds. You probably get a run in 12 or 13 seconds meaning you'll get slightly more per hour. This method is by far the quickest out there. Only 10 levels to go...

By Liam Neil on 29 Dec 2020 14:22

Thanks for sharing! Only got a handful of levels to go now after using this method. I put this game down for a while knowing how long of a grind it would be to get the last cheevo, glad I waited for an update

By zl PINHEAD lz on 03 Feb 2021 19:14

Thank god I still had a lot of Podcast episodes on my "need to listen" list. Made this a lot more bearable. Thanks for the guide!

By Cult of Puma on 05 Feb 2021 08:39

Was at level 97 and basically done everything I could in the game (759/820 challenges), so I used this method. Worked like a charm and didn't get too repetitive since I was so close. Also was able to get the challenge for 30 minutes of total lip time since I was only ~6 minutes away by putting on the Perfect Lip Balance for an extra 5000 exp.

By Silvery Death on 05 Feb 2021 23:47

I found a way to shave 1-3 seconds off this method. If you are fast enough on the button presses you can get enough 900s without going around the bend. The biggest differences are hitting a 900 before the park entrance gap, 900 jump straight off the rail before the bend into a manual then another 900. See here: http://gameclips.io/Gamerjnb925/df3fd6a9-3275-42ad-97d9-e80f...

If you don't have enough points or multiplier you can wallplant off the green wall like here: http://gameclips.io/Gamerjnb925/f53c06b4-d64d-477e-a57c-0555...

Using the 8 hour estimate in this guide, on average saving 2 seconds per run will save you well over 1 hour.

By Gamerjnb925 on 14 Feb 2021 16:10

Does anyone know how to change the button mapping? Want to change grind from Y to LT.

By J Baby 117 on 20 Apr 2021 21:53

There is still no update on this and no updates coming to the game, I guess? Because I nearly finished every challenge, boosted for a couple of hours and have only reached level 91. Seems to take forever and I find it so nonsensical to boost this.... But I don't think the developer's have said anything on upcoming updates.

By XBU Philippe on 08 Aug 2021 16:29

This game is dead way quicker than it should bruh. Create a park had zero updates since launch ,patches are very few and a whole lot more stuff that should be in the game

By MagmaticNevada8 on 13 Sep 2021 11:00

I find grinding the curb easier, starting with a 900 or accidental boneless and tail grab instead, then performing 900s every time the grind shows on the combo. Stop the combo at 90k x12 or 80k x 13, this can be done in like 7 seconds or even 6. Also you can finish a combo while grinding if you press RT, saving like half a second instead of jumping off the grind. Might only be 3 seconds of saved time but over the hundreds and thousands of games it’ll add up

By x Tyian x on 10 Oct 2021 13:37

I returned to this game two years after playing it for the last time just to finish this last achievement but as expected I didn't have the necessary rhythm or skill anymore and found the grinding method in NY too hard. I then just did a long combo of multiple "900+manual" in flat ground and voilà, 1M+ in 7 to 10 seconds. NY level is still a good map 'cause you have an empty street in front of you right from the start.

By Yuk1oh on 23 Jan 2023 20:16

Great method, thanks! It's a boring grind to be sure, but it goes by pretty fast if you can power through about 100k XP in each sitting. Only took 10 or so hours after finishing the rest of the achievements, and that was with messing up plenty of runs and slower loading times on the Xbox One.

By AlexSW1997 on 23 Jun 2023 16:41

Great method! I will say, it takes a little longer than you estimated, as the combo does only take 10 seconds, the finish screen/loading time after each run to start the next one is about 5 seconds, so it's more like 15 seconds per attempt, not 10. This is still incredibly fast. I was at level 88 after finishing everything else I felt like doing in the game, and with this method I got from 88 to 89 in about 20 minutes, and the rest of the levels should be about the same, just slightly slower each time.

By justinman114 on 26 Jun 2024 18:28

It's working, but still annoying. I'm level 79 now (12 up from 67 after completing everything else in about 2 hours). Guess will take me another 5-6 hours to get to 100

Would recommend doing the grinds with special tricks on the Philadelphia map. There are some good clips on YouTube. Same 300xp every 10secs

By CommanderKeen11 on 15 Oct 2024 07:21

Awesome thanks for letting me know that. Good to know I’m getting through each run with some decent speed.

By VoicelessMidget on 14 Oct 2020 10:33

@Bonkekook
Youre right. I just got home from work and tried it and it seems that for the 38-45 seconds runs that are optimal for this achievement, that the xp values are unchanged, so that is really good news for everybody.

By Ace Annihilates on 21 Oct 2020 02:11

I've been putting off this GRIND for awhile now.. always trying to convince myself that I will get to it eventually, but I could never last more then like 45 mins without getting bored and would end up playing online. This new method seems promising. Think I will finally be able to finish this game off!

Would it be possible / worth it to make a CAP for this to cut down on loading times?

By CanadianBeerGod on 01 Dec 2020 20:07

How assign the LT button as the grind button?

By Alberto Silva76 on 13 Jan 2021 23:52

@Alberto Silva76 I'm not 100 percent sure. I never bound the grind button to LT personally. I think you might want to ask CrAk ll as to how he did it.

Turbo method

It will take about 200 Hours after completing all other achievements.

Turn on the following mods:

No bail
Double base score

Then go to Skate Tours --> THPS 2 --> Hangar

Once loaded in do the following with your turbo controller:

Tape left joystick to the right
Turbo X
Turbo A
Turbo Y
Turbo RT if able, thanks xaero!

You are then free to let it run.

Here is a game clip of what it looks like:

By NamelessxDread on 13 Sep 2020 17:35

As if you were doing the story mode.

By Frank9080 on 13 Sep 2020 20:12

What turbo controller are you using? I’m debating on buying one

By SequentialSword on 13 Sep 2020 23:11

I use an old Xbox 360 Arcade Stick with a 360 to Xbox one controller converter.

By Frank9080 on 13 Sep 2020 23:15

would love to have more info/see a vid. I'm using strikepack FPS dominator and can't get it to work the way you're describing

By Just Chemistry on 14 Sep 2020 01:04

I’m curious to know what exactly this does, obviously I can’t test it at the moment but want to know exactly how your earning exp.

By SequentialSword on 14 Sep 2020 08:38

You bounce around the map doing triple heelflips. With the Y turbo, you also bounce off the rails leading to small combos, but more points.

I'll get a clip uploaded for you guys to see.

By Frank9080 on 14 Sep 2020 14:30

I've embedded a clip in the solution now.

Hope it helps clear up any confusion.

I'll also add how many hours it took to turbo when done. Currently I'm halfway through level 86 and at 187 total Hours.

By Frank9080 on 15 Sep 2020 18:35

Yup that’s what I’ll do when I sleep and am at work, can’t be bothered to do the 155xp grind for 30 hours. I just hit 70 with pretty much all the big exp challenges done minus the multiplayer and the 100k trick ones.

By SequentialSword on 16 Sep 2020 05:31

Interesting method. Since I don't own a turbo for my Xbox One, I use my Horipad for Xbox 360 (also works on PC) while streaming the game to my PC. Seems like a decent idle method, but will take forever.

By FireRaiser1985 on 16 Sep 2020 17:18

Where would I get a controller like that? Which one are you using?

By Ron69Bongkowski on 16 Sep 2020 19:45

You would have to do some digging. I have had mine for 10 or so years now.

I use an old Xbox 360 Arcade Stick with a 360 to Xbox one controller converter.

As others have said you can also stream to your pc and use the controller there.

By Frank9080 on 16 Sep 2020 20:18

Does your fight stick allows you to turbo multiple buttons at once or does it have a macro/assign feature? Can you just tell us the model or brand haha

By ResinousHashish on 17 Sep 2020 00:36

Marvel v Capcom tournament edition. Yes it allows me to turbo multiple buttons at once.

By Frank9080 on 17 Sep 2020 03:12

Which converter do you use? I found the Brook converter online but not sure how well it is. I have a few 360 turbo controllers so good on that end.

By Aardvark Vulgar on 17 Sep 2020 04:51

I use the brook super converter. I've used the same set up for a few other games so it's for sure been worth the investment for me.

By Frank9080 on 17 Sep 2020 05:03

Just wanted to add, it might be worth turboing reverts ans acid drops. They've been helping add to my combos when it happens, thus netting me a little more XP per run.

By xaero on 17 Sep 2020 15:36

Can anyone recommend a turbo controller for someone new to the concept? I've been trying to look into it but I'm just finding a bunch of Call of Duty rapid-fire controllers

I will try out using RT.

You really have to look at 360 turbo controllers. To my knowledge, there isnt much if anything of a native xbox one turbo controller.

By Frank9080 on 17 Sep 2020 16:59

Any estimated time for this method @Frank9080? Been doing it for about 24 hours straight now. Works well, but I'm a little worried about my Xbox, lol. Doing decent progress but I'm only at level 72. Was around 68 when I started.

By FireRaiser1985 on 17 Sep 2020 19:35

My brooks super converter came in today and it works perfect with my hori Xbox 360 turbo controller. This is going to take A LONG time just letting it turbo while your away. You should tack up the 100,000 flip trick challenge in no time with this method so that’s a free 5000 exp lol.

By SequentialSword on 18 Sep 2020 06:35

I'd say about 375-400 Hours, about 5 to 6 times as long as the normal grind, but for a turbo its not at all a bad ratio. I should be done in another 8 or so days.

Turboing RT as well for sure helps, and not in an insignificant way. I think my average XP went up by about 20 to 25, I'll probably scale my estimate down by about 20% once I get my final hour count.

By Frank9080 on 18 Sep 2020 14:26

Which level were you when you started with this method? Still turbo boosting here. Just hit 75.

By FireRaiser1985 on 18 Sep 2020 14:51

Maybe 67 or 68. But I also did have it quite right when I started letting it run, either. So it's hard for me to say exactly. I'm at 240 hours and about to hit 92.

I also have 9000 xp in challenges stacked for when I get to 99 so I can make sure I see the achievement actually pop.

By Frank9080 on 18 Sep 2020 15:07

I'm on a hori controller and getting decent results putting right and up on the dpad on turbo also. Still testing it to see how it goes but get at least 160k a run without double score.

Also, I turbo'd B instead of X and got about 40k grab tricks and 20k xp in 7 hours

By Fuzzmeister J on 20 Sep 2020 02:07

Would you say that doing grabs instead of flip tricks net more points?

By xaero on 20 Sep 2020 18:07

It gives you much higher score. I get 200-400k each run. I turbo A, B, Y, RT, Right DPAD, and UP Dpad

By Fuzzmeister J on 20 Sep 2020 19:48

I let it ran with B instead of X while I was out for about 3 hours. I started at a fresh level 96 and in 3 hours, I got halfway to the next level. Grabs are definitely the way to go.

By xaero on 20 Sep 2020 20:49

Can confirm grabd are 100% the way to go. I get 350k points in a run consistently instead of as low as 75k with flips. Rubber band on up and right on the dpad, nothing on the left stick at all, and turbo running on A, B, and Y (though not sure Y matters).

Result is about 85xp per run very consistently. Which by my calculations would be about 320 hours straight assuming 125 seconds per run if starting from absolute zero.

By ChrisD0811 on 23 Sep 2020 13:01

Anywhere in UK to get a cheap turbo controller? Or better yet, a way to do it without?

By Stalley on 24 Sep 2020 08:59

On the Hori controller do not put it on full speed. Your character will go forever and I woke up to a 413 million point combo with 2700 tricks in it. You won't get as much xp for all of that as a normal run, so leave it on the slower speed.

By Fuzzmeister J on 24 Sep 2020 10:35

Turbo A, B, Y, RT and rubberband your left stick like this: https://imgur.com/a/BoChIEy
You want your skater to do the "judo" grab trick, reverts and acid drops. You will constantly get 300-400k points, sometimes even more. ~85xp every two minutes. Took me around 200 hours from level 68 to 100.

By FireRaiser1985 on 28 Sep 2020 12:09

Im using a Cronus max and have edited a script so I can afk all the flatland, lip, grind, grab and flip challenges. Will just do them 1 after the other. Currently half way through level 91

By Dylan XBA on 03 Oct 2020 02:11

Dylan, would you be able to send me your script please?

By Stalley on 04 Oct 2020 12:36

Just using the turbo controller I'm 99.5 and will be 100 today. It's been a big help being able to play games normally while this stupid grind goes when I'm sleeping.

By Fuzzmeister J on 04 Oct 2020 15:37

To anyone turboing, my advice would be to turn off Y. I woke up this morning to find myself stuck in a neverending combo which had racked up billions but of course no XP runs. Looked like it was a glitch caused on the pipe forcing the combo to continue nonstop. Thinking it was a one off I let it continue just to come back and see it had happened again 4 hours later!

By Stalley on 05 Oct 2020 13:54

For those who are trying to get their hands on a turbo controller it seemed impossible (especially the Hori ones) try the TITAN Two's. Its a script device but allows you to drop a turbo script on for use.
There's also other scripts which allow you to macro a set of controls which will indefinitely repeat! I've used that specifically on lots of grindy achievements!

By Ashdo on 07 Oct 2020 20:02

Echo @Ashdo suggestion above. Devices that can run scripts like the Titans and Cronus are perfect for this. Managed to pick up a Cronus Zen in the UK and has been working great so far

By Stalley on 08 Oct 2020 09:59

I used ReWASD to switch RB and RT because my turbo controller has to be used with console companion streaming to work with my X1, and it won’t turbo the triggers for some reason. But being able to turbo your reverts and acid drops with everything else is a game changer. It was the difference between 40-50xp runs and 150xp runs.

By thanatos8285 on 12 Oct 2020 19:57

Hori Pad EX2 ($26 @ eBay) / Brooks Converter ($40 @ Amazon) and my guy is Judo kicking like nobodies business. I am only level 61 though

not a cheap achievement haha. hoping I can use this controller on other games!

By ResinousHashish on 14 Oct 2020 22:57

@ResinousHashish there is a list somewhere on here for a load of achievements which can be turbo’d in games. Slightly outdated though I believe, but I am positive this won’t be the last time you use it lol

By Stalley on 15 Oct 2020 08:20

So I have a SFIV TE controller for 360. I plug it into my computer and it loads the drivers, everything is functional. I can even hit the Xbox Button and it brings up Game Bar. It will also navigate the Xbox Console Companion App as well. Whenever I stream though I constantly get the "No Controller Connected" message, WHICH I CAN CLICK CONTINUE ON WITH THE SFIV CONTROLLER.

Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need the new "Xbox Beta App" instead of the Console Companion?

Whelp, I tried with my other wired 360 controller and it worked flawless. Naturally, my controller that is Turbo Compatible doesn't work.

By kliqIMB on 17 Oct 2020 19:55

Yeah, I went ahead and grabbed it off Amazon. Tired of not having a Turbo for One anyways, so why not get one on the cusp of next-gen. :D

By kliqIMB on 19 Oct 2020 06:48

I've been doing this overnight and an hour or 2 of hands on grinding a day. Just for anyone who is curious, I've had 2 minute runs getting 50xp and I've runs getting 120 xp. Its basically luck and is wildly random. You're looking at roughly 2200xp per hour doing this. Considering you need almost 800,000 to get the achievement, well......thumbs up for this! Helped me figure out my Titan One setup.

EDIT: I want to add that after reading the comments I started doing grabs and I definitely agree that turboing grabs is better than flip tricks though.

By Bonkekook on 26 Oct 2020 01:43

It really takes on forever. I'm on level 96 and done nearly every challenge that nets XP. Only ones missing are the Manual and Lip Tricks challenges. Even turboing takes forever. Turbo method for 4 hours, not even half a level of experience. The end of round bonus also really low, I'm getting only 50-60 XP every 2 min round with this method. Grabbing for me doesn't help. Maybe depends on the grab? The triple heelflip allows for more combos to happen for me.

This guide was translated automatically.

Don't forget that when you receive rewards for various challenges, you still need to, roughly speaking, "cash them in." In the Challenges menu, on a completed challenge, click Claim

, so you will get a reward and experience. However, all the tests will be enough for you to raise the level only 78-80, then only fierce farming.

I don't recommend going into multiplayer. Not only do they give less experience than in singleplayer, but they're also broken - the game can throw an error during a match and damage your save (I flew from level 92 to 62, and if it weren't for the backup save in the cloud, I would have returned to zero). People complain about this on foreign forums too. This is what happens in multiplayer, so don't set foot there!

Pay attention to Skate Park Challenges > Forbidden Connectors . There are 17 challenges, most of them easy, and despite what is written there that they only give 2 thousand bucks per challenge, in fact for each such challenge you also get 5 thousand experience. After completing them all, which will take you from an hour to 3 depending on your skills, you will get a total of over 85 thousand experience.

By FoxHand on 27 Nov 2020 13:53

The fastest way I found (current as of March 2021)

1. set indie 900 on the up-down arrows
2. enable all mods
3. go to any map (I launched downtown, there is a convenient gap at the beginning and then just a straight line)
4. After the start, without stopping, we jerk the left stick up and down and spam circle and cross. The point is that this way the character continuously makes an expensive trick and gets into manual, thus very quickly gaining a million points.
5. restart

For one try you get 300 exp (150 for the combo and 150 for the total amount of points), each try takes about 8-10 seconds.

By HSmzg on 05 Apr 2021 00:04

In the editor, we have already made a park specifically for the boost, we search for Experience farm 10k/hour in the search, launch it, 10 seconds manual, then 10 seconds lip trick, then 10 seconds grind and at the end we hold triangle to get a combo.

I advise you to pay attention to the challenges from the category of speedrun (hard), combo (platinum) and gap challenges normal. For completing them, you more or less get experience. They are easy to complete. Personally, I got lvl 70 by completing challenges. I also advise you to install mods and leave the console overnight to farm challenges for 10 hours manual, grind and lip. For them, you get 5k experience. And then there is only online ... the most stuffy trophy in the game.

By CEMbI4 on 14 Sep 2020 20:11

I leveled up on the Experience Farm 1.09 Easy map, having received all the trophies except level 100, I was level 74. My advice on this map for farming is to do a manual at the start, up to 700 points, for this you will get 25 experience, and to get 1,000,000 points on the first side of Rail , in one combo, for this you will get 150 experience, and that's +- 175 experience in 20-30 seconds. Under a movie, a video on YouTube, a stream, a series, up to level 100, we repeat.

For reference, I leveled up from 82 to 83 (that's 17,550 experience) in 42 minutes (41:31:45 on the stopwatch).

The last 10 levels, pumped without a manual, comes out much faster from 99 to 100 (this is 28,750 experience) in 34 minutes (on the stopwatch 33:50:39).

But to do this you need to score 1,000,000 points as quickly as possible. When you delay

you build a combo, up to x20-30, let go

and rejecting

to the right or to the left, as if trying to fly off the Rail , and you will spin for this, the points are multiplied and thus it is easy to score 60k - 200k points with a multiplier of more than 1,000,000, which gives 150 experience and so we repeat, the faster the better. Also, before jumping off the Rail and starting to spin, you need to score 20-30k points with special tricks, otherwise, you will not score 60-200k points.
The most difficult trophy for me was, as I spent more than 40 hours on leveling from 74 to 100 , but I think that with this tip, you will definitely get it faster.

By Mikhail_Smile on 16 Jan 2021 15:46

The longest trophy in the game. Reaching level 100 will require ultra farming - all challenges at level 100 will not boost.
So far, the most valid way to farm "hundred" is to ride Downtown with the modifiers of rail, manual and lip set. By holding on to each trick (grind, lip and manual) for 10 seconds, you can get 25 XP for each upon completion of the level. Plus XP for the number of tricks in the combo and for the final number of points (maximum - 75 XP). In total, you can pull out more than 100 XP in a minute. Then - fierce grind, repeat until the roof goes.
This is very long. Video guide .

By Shtefan on 13 Sep 2020 14:34

A relatively fast way to farm experience has appeared ~320exp/20-30 seconds.
1. Turn on the manual balance mods, always special, double score and no crashes
2. Bind the trick "The 900" to the button combinations that are convenient for us. I had it installed on

3. Go to Tour mode. I like the Philadelphia map - at the start there is enough space to perform manuals and a minimum of unnecessary objects that can disrupt the combo. But you can choose any other.
4. From the very beginning, we spam combos from manuals and "The 900". Since we have cancelled falls and have an unlimited balance, it is impossible to screw up such a combo. You need to score 1,000,000 points and land boldly. We exit through End Run, then Retry. We repeat the fourth point until we go wild.

For one incomplete round we get 150xp for Total score, 150xp for Best Combo and about 25xp for manual duration. Total ~325exp. For me, gaining a million takes about 15-20 seconds + time for restart.

A similar method should work in Multiplayer (Private match - Score challenge).
