Trophy bugs continue 🤦🏻

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug Trophies not popping offline, some not popping at all
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game in offline mode
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing - no trophy unlock for achievements in offline mode, trophies also don’t sync when you go online so you can miss them - I’m missing the trophies for the prologue and qualifier one. Others don’t pop at all, changing clothes, tags etc
What do you expect to see? The trophies that I’ve earned unlock - the whole constantly online thing just isn’t needed for a game like this and fans have been saying it for years

  • Same here, same story on Xbox Series X.

    Created a thread in the german forum, haven't gotten any replies in days. It's still way too minor of a problem for them to roll out a patch or something. 

    Another huge problem (by gamedesign) is that all ingame activities DO sync - whether you're playing offline or online - but when you go online after you did stuff like escaping a 5 Star cop chase offline (probably by accident cause the servers threw you off), you'll NEVER be able to trigger the trophy/achievement EVER AGAIN, no matter how many times you actually redo it because the game thinks you already did it but the information normally send to the system is missing/not send out again to try and check if the the trophy has already been rewarded -crazy!

    This is extremely questionable programming knowing this might be the easiest way how trophies/achievements could go lost forever.

    Let me know whenever you find a workaround, please, EA does not seem to be capable of. It's super frustrating since the game's actually pretty good.

    But, tbh, i'm about to go refund, it's as simple as it can be on Xbox, get my 70+€ back and just wait for a sale. Bugs like these are not worth full price.

  • I have the same problem on Playstation. In this case, they were the trophies referring to the collectibles. Unfortunately I'll have to start a new game and do it all over again to get the 3-star regent trophies and all the collectibles again.
  • Same here on PC, i bought the game directly from the EA app and i'm yet to unlock any trophies despite having already met many of the trophy requirements

    So as this happens across all platforms we might be safe to say that it's just the way Need for Speed Unbound has been developed/programmed and NOT a bug.

    Still ridiculous but good to know, i guess.

    I'll start a new game the next few days, try to stay online permanently and let you know if this works.

    Please do so as well.

    I've just just had this happen and I'm on PS5, the 3 star's for drift events on one it didn't sync even though on my map it tells me I've done every event even beating my rivals.

    Plus i was always online never once did i play it in offline. So now it's stopping me getting the plat as it's the only trophy i need.

    And after putting 51 Hours in to this game the last  thing i want to do is restart it.

       

  • As i mentioned above this is not about being online on your system but connected with the EA-Servers in the game!

    I started a new game a couple of days ago and by making sure to be connected to the servers ALL the time

    everything seems to work just fine - achivements unlock as intented.

    Everytime you do something offline/ with no connection to the servers in Need for Speed Unbound the game will take note of that...but only ingame.

    Reconnecting to the servers won't do anything since there is no actual sync. I mean, there kind of is but it misses the part where it exchanges information with the trophy-/achievement-app on your current system. And as the game takes this note you can't do your activity again and be rewarded with a trophy as the game thinks you already did that.

    So yes, EVERYTING YOU DO OFFLINE WILL STAY OFFLINE AND WON'T BE PART OF YOUR TROPHY/ACHIVEMENT-PROGRESS. TO UNLOCK TROPHIES YOU MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE EA-SERVERS ALL THE TIME! EVERYTHING DONE WHILE BEING NOT CONNECTED WILL GET LOST. YOU NEED TO START A NEW GAME TO GO FOR TROPHIES AGAIN! 

    Sorry for the caps but feeling like doing EAs job here is getting annoying. I've had the same problem, did tons of research and testing, and this is how the situation is, guaranteed. Trust me.

    Don't go for re-installing your game several times, don't go for network or console resets, don't try anything for tons of hours, don't try to ask the official support here (they don't know). If you struggle with trophies/achievements in your game it is not a bug, it's just how Nfs Unbound has been programmed.

  • Yesterday I redid all activities related to the trophy of all collectibles and activities with 3 stars that had not dropped the first time I did it playing offline and now playing connected to the EA server the trophy appeared. Really the problem is not being connected to the EA server. In my opinion they should have made that clear before players started their games campaign.

    Just to make it clear on my part mine happened while being in an online lobby which means I would of been connected to EA servers.

    if I wasn't connected to the EA servers I would of been booted from the lobby.  

  • Same here in PS5. I finished the story already but didn’t got the trophy “cash money Millionaire”. Don’t know what to do, probably will have to have another play through. That’s a shame and I hope EA Corrects that!
