Forum Discussion
Few minutes ago i did too this trophy. Time 1,5 months. A lot frustation, cursing EA,EA Ghost, and got satisfaction that did this but cost me too much nerves. My statement is still the same which means that this should be fix. I am with Mike and others who did because if this not fix I will not buy any game from EA because experience with this game was bad when was released last DLC. Saved my profiles but can't agree that a lot people lost own hard work with perfect profile. Behaviour to customers who gave You feedback good feedback in my opinion was far away from fair in the beginning. Maybe You changed mind I really want believe this because want on all forums that You listen customers but right now can't do this without any proof from Your side. And only proof is patch for this game.

So after 50+ hours of playing the prestige events this is the current state for me. I have only managed to achieve 3 gold (non in drift events where i get nowhere near). It would appear after giving this a pretty decent effort I will not be able to reach the required standard.
As much as I would like to continue and complete this I think it would be a waste of time and this trophy is out of my reach.
I wish to acknowledge EA/Ghost for finally ending a good run of maintaining a 100% trophy profile. Its taken almost 8 years (16th August 2008 was my first trophy) - I guess it had to come to an end at some point but I always assumed it would be for a game of my choosing. A game I had to play despite a ridiculous trophy. Apparently not. It has ended by a decision someone else made and then forced onto my profile. As a Chief Information Officer for a software development company (look me up on linked in if you want to check that) any product I released into market that generated this amount of negative feedback I would look to rectify - everyone makes mistakes its how you react to them that defines the company.
I wish everyone attempting this trophy the best of luck (you will need it with those crazy random spawns) and to those that have completed it, massive respect its a ridiculously tough trophy and you should be proud of the achievement.
Thanks

So, EA finally noticed this thread is not dying and it's the biggest thread ever on the forums and is now planning to do something about the massive bad feedback they are receiving for this? Let's see how it goes then. I agree that an official statement about what is happening would be really nice. I bet it won't be the same person posting again, I bet someone realized the mess his comments created and took him out of here. 😛
To be honest after all the effort I put into getting all golds, I would hope they don't change anything. I imagine anyone else who did also feels the same way.
I mean sure that sounds selfish, but it's not as if it's unachievable. Nothing is broken, nothing is impossible, the only problem have with it is that it's not easy. If there was something actually stopping you from being able to unlock it, it would be a different story.
It took me twice as long as 100%ing the rest of the game, but I got there in the end because I kept at it rather than waiting for it to be brought down to my level. It just takes practice. If you can't do it then you shouldn't have the achievement/trophy, and that goes for any any of them that are too difficult to obtain. They are called trophies and achievements after all.
You don't see people asking for Super Meat Boy or Raiden IV's achievements to be toned down, so why is this any different?
No, because super meat boy is a perfectly fine game. Even Trials, the hardest game to complete in my opinion toned down the Marathon achievement on the 360 because they realized only a few people could unlock it and it was not a fun achievement to go after, so they made it FUN.
Achievements should be fun to get, and almost everyone that unlocked this still agrees it's not fun at all to get, it brings up the worst of the game and it should be patched, you're the only one stating otherwise. I didn't even bother playing, it's simply not fun because this need for speed is not a good game in my opinion and I didn't bother. I actually have no idea if I could unlock it or not and that's not the point at all...
Killer Instinct launched with achievements for playing 2000 matches per fighter. It's completely possible to do it, but it was patched to 200 matches because it was simply stupid. Watchdogs had that stupid drinking game achievement that was hard as hell. I did it before the patch, but people complained, it was toned down and I completely agree with them, it was poorly done and not on par with the rest of the game, I was happy to see ubisoft hears the complains people make and changes things accordingly.
Several issues have already been pointed out related to this update. People that did it on time and did not get the gold. People that have a delay from when they finish the race and the time the game tracks. The random car spawns, the impossibility to quick retry the event if you are being chased. It's just a bad DLC that makes everyone see all the flaws the game has. Someone having the patience and skill necessary to unlock it does not make it good.
Quake IV has achievements for being number one on the leaderboards, do you think those are good achievements? It's perfectly doable. Why didn't other games do the same? Because people realized that this was the worst achievement possible to include in a game. Achievements, as every other part of the game should be FUN and this one, no matter how you look at it, is not fun at all, no matter if it's possible or not to do it.
