How to unlock the Golden Boy achievement in WWE 2K17 - Definitive Guide
This is quite a grind. You will need a lot of XP online to get this, likely over 400,000. You can try to get this legitimately, but to be frank, the online mode is pretty terrible, especially if you don’t have a good connection. Important things such as reversals, pins and submissions are delayed and can cause you to lose a match even if you’re the better player. For example, my opponent did a simple move on me, pinned me, and it didn’t allow me to kick out. As such, I suggest you boost this with a boosting partner found here.
When you have one, I suggest searching for a mode that will be sparsely populated, such as a women’s steel cage match. While you wait for you and your boosting partner to match up, make sure to practice as it can give you a bonus in your next match. Once you find each other, you have two options. Either get the pin instantly, or beat on your partner for a bit to raise the matches’ star rating to get more XP. Swap between who wins, the loser will get a bit of XP too, not much but it will add up. This will take several hundred matches each, the exact number depending on which method you use. You only need to reach each medal to get this and the previous two trophies, the stars don’t matter.
