When it comes to FIFA trophy lists, we've come to expect a standard that requires nothing less than hard dedication and copious amounts of skill and desire to succeed.
That is a trend that is bucked hard here, with what is the easiest FIFA trophy list you're ever likely to come across, and possibly one of the easiest trophy lists in any genre of game.
In reality, it's a struggle to pick out individual trophies that actually add any sort of challenge to the list, and it is one mostly filled with trophies that you will earn just through naturally playing the game and exploring a wide array of game modes.
The "Silver Lining" trophy, awarded for completing the Silver stage of all Skill Games, is where the biggest challenge of this list lies, with 13 different skills in total to complete up to Silver level to unlock the trophy. Most of them are actually relatively easy, but there are a couple of stray difficulty spikes in certain skills that will require some solid mastery before you can reach anything beyond their Silver level.
Lobbed passing, Goalkeeping and Free Kicks are the skills to watch out for with some tricky Silver level skill games, and you could find yourself slogging through some steady amount of trial and error in an attempt to beat them, but if you stick enough practice into them, you'll get past them eventually when you figure out the best ways to complete them with a high score to progress.
The "Legendary" trophy, awarded for becoming Legendary on one of the Skill Challenges in Skill Games, continues the theme of Skill Games, and requires you to go through every challenge level of one skill. Even though you'll only need to do this once, practically all of the Skill Challenges (preceded by Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of the same skill), are tough to crack and it's really just about finding out what you're strongest at and sticking with it.
The score requirements to beat them can be extremely difficult, and it can be hard breaking them down into which ones are easiest for you. I ended up going for the Goalkeeping skill challenge, and despite early difficulty, it is easier just to slog away at one particular skill and retry it until you can nail it down and beat the target score through your own methods of practice.
There are also some trophies that will inevitably become unachievable when support for EA Sports Matchday Highlights of the Week shifts onto the next title in the series, which will effect a small cluster of trophies, including "Challenging", awarded for completing a Match Day challenge in Highlights of the Week on at least World Class difficulty, "Big Game", awarded for winning a Game of the Week in Highlights of the Week and "On My Own", awarded for Competing a Be a Pro Challenge on any difficulty in Highlights of the Week.
None of these trophies are at all difficult, but should definitely be bookmarked for top priority due to their high probability of a limited timeframe for attainment. Some trophies for games with an annual release window don't tend to give the player much time to achieve them, and the FIFA series is one of the biggest culprits for it, so it's always better to be aware of anything that might trip you up, especially in a list as simple as this one.
In reality, that is practically it, and the trophy list is packed from top to bottom with trophies that you can earn just through naturally playing the game. There is a good diversity in regards to experimentation of games modes, and you'll need to jump around the menus often in order to unlock all of the trophies tied into certain areas of the game, but none of them are a challenging as the previous aforementioned trophies, nor are they as time consuming as previous FIFA titles have been.
Manager mode, Ultimate Team, Weekly Challenges, Skill Games and Pro Clubs are all catered to accordingly, but the tasks included in each one are menial, and will only ask that you dabble in them, or at least play through a handful of matches at the very most. There are also a selection of trophies awarded for performing actions during matches, including scoring goals in specific ways, pulling off certain defensive manoeuvres and other general play, all of which will come through natural means.
The biggest give-away for the difficulty rating of this list is the fact I actually unlocked 78% of the entire list before I even gave it a second glance, which even in the most progression based trophy lists is a high percentage to reach before even realising how close to the Platinum trophy you actually are, which is a big emphasis on the ease of this game's trophies.
The Skill Games, as you may expect to a certain degree, will challenge your skills to an adequate enough level to at least frustrate you a touch, but on the whole, this list goes against everything any FIFA trophy list in the past has put together. You can even blast through everything in a reasonable timescale of 20-25 hours, which also bucks a common previous trend of lengthy FIFA trophy lists.
Just be careful of any aforementioned potentially fast moving unachievable trophies and you easily have an early front runner for one of the least challenging trophy lists in the Playstation 4 catalogue.
