Academy Star ties directly to youth academy development. Scout of the Year rewards sustained analyst assignments—see scouting workflows. Financial Cushion pairs with budget planning and sponsor income.
Major difficulty achievements (cleanup save candidates)
| Achievement | How to unlock | Global rate |
|---|---|---|
| Casual Major | Win the Major with a created team on Casual difficulty | ~1.4% |
| Easy Major | Win the Major with a created team on Easy difficulty | ~0.8% |
| Normal Major | Win the Major with a created team on Normal difficulty | ~0.3% |
| Hard Major | Win the Major with a created team on Hard difficulty | ~0.2% |
All four Major trophies require winning the Major with your own created organization—not a licensed takeover. Stack difficulty achievements on separate saves or one downward progression save. Use starting guides, tactics, and Grand Slam planning for Major prep.
Recommended cleanup order
During your main career: chase First Contract through Loyalty First naturally. Before first Major push, ensure Global Scout and Rising Star are done if you want them on the same save. Start a Casual created-org save for Major trophies before attempting Hard. Run Risky Investor and New Face on a wealthy takeover save where one splash signing will not end the campaign. Academy Star needs a multi-season youth project—begin academy focus in year one on a custom org save. Scout of the Year is the longest grind; assign analysts continuously across regions for fifty successful operations.
Custom databases from the database editor may disable or alter achievement tracking—verify current patch notes before modded cleanup attempts.
