Plan M's guide to unlocking EA Shop points quickly & easily (FIFA 08)
OK lads, I thought this deserved a thread of it's own because of the amount of people that ask how to achieve points to spend at the EA store because they're usually getting no-where with the Manager Mode etc.
I have unlocked nearly all the boots & kits by doing the following four methods:
1. Start a new Manager Mode. Choose the Scottish Premier League. Select Celtic. Select the office, select staff upgrades & put fitness, defending, midfield & attacking up as far as your money will allow & save. Leave these menus and simulate every game until the end of the season. Simulate a few seasons & you'll rack up 1,000s of EA Points.
2. Select a friendly match v the CPU. Choose a five star rated team. Select an English League 2 team as your opponent. Select Amateur difficulty. Depending on how good at the game you are, select the time limit. Score 10 more goals than your opponent. Repeat all of this 5 times. You'll get 1,000 EA Points.
3. This next method is very similiar to the above one. Choose a French/Turkish/Australian/Belgium/etc club. Play a friendly (on amateur level) with your team against an English League 2 opponent. Choose a 4 minute match so the game isn't too long. Keep the ball, try and score a few goals (which is easy on Amateur so don't worry) but make sure you WIN. After the match, you'll notice that a player from YOUR team has named "Man Of The Match". Repeat all of this 5-10 times (it depends on the country to how much you'll be awarded) and you'll get a big amount of EA Points. Remember to only do it with ONE country at a time so you know where you are i.e. I chose Besiktas and played against Stockport County 5 times (winning "Man Of The Match" everytime) and was awarded the EA Points. I then moved on to the Belgium League.
4. DO THE CHALLENGES! After you've done all of the above, crack on with the challenges. They are far more time consuming than the above methods but you DO win EA Points.
I hope this small guide helps some of you, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Also, if anyone else has some good methods of picking up EA Points easily please post them here.
Happy point hunting!
