Unlocked AI Hacking Trophy, however, the bonus talent does not show up when creating a new career

See subject line. I unlocked the AI Hacking Trophy, but the subsequent bonus talent does not show up when creating a new career. This is on the PS3 version of the game that came with the Mass Effect ...

    ISSUE RESOLVED!!! (Only posting this in case some other poor sod gets stuck in my position later on down the line)

    How to fix: Delete "Game Progress/Settings" in the Saved Data Utility. Delete "Mass Effect Game Data" from inside Data Utility. Restart PS3. Reinstall "Mass Effect Game Data" when prompted when starting Mass Effect. Create a new career. Redo all lost trophys and SAVE THE GAME before quitting. I think my problem was in not saving the game after finishing the AI Hacking trophy. This ended up creating a problem in the "Game Progress/Settings" file I would assume.

    I would like to add that EA Customer Service was absolutely worthless in fixing this issue. The only thing they did was dodge questions, avoid helping, and telling me outright false information. I would file a complaint, however, they have made their website so confusing the navigate and the people in EA Chat talk like robots so I might just end up making myself vomit instead. Will look into sending an email to the board of directors about their poor customer service. Not much else I can think off. Thanks for nothing EA!

UPDATE: I think I may have figured out the issue on my own through trial and error. I was able to restore one of the missing bonus talents by completely deleting every trace of Mass Effect from my PS3. I deleted the "Game Progress/Settings" from inside the Saved Data Utility and then went into the Data Utility and deleted the "Mass Effect Game Data" the disc had you install onto the system before being able to play. Then I created a brand new career and killed 150 things with the Assault Rifle. The trophy didn't ping but when I reached 150 by my count I went to create a new career and the bonus talent was then visible. Going to try this with AI Hacking and if it works the problem is solved.
