Introduction:
Welcome to PES 2009. As the previous PES games, this will take you into the world of football (or soccer). The list of achievements is related to completing matches, meeting specific goals, and beating teams. You should be prepared for a long time in front of your console, especially for the "Ultimate Player" achievement that requires you to win EVERYTHING possible. This is very time consuming and the main reason of the 7/10 difficulty. You should set the game length to the minimum possible (5 minutes) to make the game faster. So here we go.
Step 1: Full Leagues Season:
There are 5 achievements (for 75 ) that will require you to bet every single team on the leagues. This is a good starting point as you will need to win these leagues for "Ultimate Player" anyway. Get a good team and follow the achievement guide. You should also unlock most of the miscellaneous achievements (they are worth 245
) during the Leagues. These are mainly the achievements that require you to win games, or have specific stats during 10 games so be on the lookout for those as you progress.
Step 2: National Teams:
You will have to go into exhibition mode and beat all of the national teams. There are 60 teams, so at least 60 matches. Quite a bit of work for only 15 . You should have all the remaining miscellaneous achievements by now.
Step 3: Master League:
Another competition mode on PES 2009, the Master League will require you to get promoted to league one and to win it. Again this is necessary for "Ultimate Player." Win everything for 95 .
Step 4: Become a Legend:
Here you will create your player and start your career to become a legend in PES. You will get a contract and start on second division team. Again beating everything is necessary for "Ultimate Player." The GS of Legend is 215 . The achievements vary between challenges and cup/win related. However it is important to note that there are two miscellaneous achievements "100 Goals(Become a Legend)" and "200 Goals(Become a Legend)" that you will have to worry about if you do not create a striker.
Step 5: UEFA Champions League:
You will probably have UEFA Champions League Debut if you already did the leagues, as you will enter the Champions League after winning any of them and it is important that you get them during the Leagues. To avoid playing an entire second Full Season it is possible to play the Champions League by itself, in which case you will get the 2 "missing" achievements for 65 . Again you will need to win the Champions League for "Ultimate Player."
Step 6: Multiplayer:
No longer possible since servers are down.
Step 7: Ultimate Player and Mop Up:
After all is done you should have the "Ultimate Player" for 100 . This is also the point that if you missed any of the miscellaneous achievements you should go back and get them. Because of the time it will take you for "Ultimate Player" it is very unlikely you have anything but it on the list. If you did not have the MP achievements you can forget about "Ultimate Player."
Conclusion:
PES 2009 is a fun game, and luckily there are no difficult related achievements that could make the life on the game really painful. "Ultimate Player" will be your target as it requires you to win everything and is basically the one you should shoot for as all is a road to that one. Good luck and patience as the full 1,000 will take its toll on time!
If you have not gotten the MP, the max you will be able to get on this title is 720.
