This game is deceptively time consuming and will take a lot longer than the estimated time if you cannot find a boosting partner to play online with. You will probably get the bulk of the points on offer in just a few hours, but then having to Unlock all Players through the campaign and accomplish all online challenges will take up the rest of your time.
Introduction
Pure Football has 50 achievements and though only 10 as specifically for online play you will still need to have only access for a few others (Immediate Chemistry, uploading your captain and gaining 40 achievements). The main game is fairly easy but you will have to slog through the campaign three times with a defender, midfielder and forward. Along the way you should have a checklist of all of the unlockable players (HERE) and make an effort to pick up as many as you can. Also bear in mind that you can only access certain players when your created character is at a certain level OR if you flood your team with players from that team that you have already snagged.
Step #1: Campaign
Play the campaign with each type of player. Start off on Medium difficulty and try to rack up enough points to get to a four star rating, once you have enough you can always go back to the main menu and change the difficulty to Easy again. During the campaign just focus on unlocking players rather than achievements as they will come naturally, also try and specifically unlock four outfield players from the same real life club. At the end of your first campaign be sure to upload your player online too.
Step #2: Online
Find a boosting partner as this will make things a lot easier. First of all create an online club and put four outfield players from the same club on there, invite a friend to a game and you will get RSVP and Immediate Chemistry. Now you can get all of the national team challenges done too – just play Invite a Friend matches and set the matches to Win by 2 goals, then win three games with each national team.
Next up you will have to go into Play Anyone matches, but these are also easily boostable. First have one player win three in a row and then the other. After that just focus on one player unlocking as many crests per match as they can and getting as many points as possible. You will move up the Divisions as you do this and should reach Division 1 after less than twenty games played if you do well. Once you both are in Division 1 then trade wins for Shoulders of Giants and Slump Buster.
Step #3: Mop up
Now you can mop up anything you missed, for any simple achievements or ones requiring multiple players then just set up exhibition matches with other controllers plugged in and grind them out. Winning penalty shoot outs or saving five penalties are easier to do in this mode. If you still haven’t unlocked all available players then start a new career on easy and find the last few, as by this point that should be all you have left.
Conclusion
This is a fairly easy 1k but one that will take a lot longer than expected. If you have the perseverance to keep grinding through campaigns then it should be fairly simple, plus a handy online partner would be a massive plus.
