With every spring comes the sound of birds chirping, the smell of wet grass and the feel of beer being spilled in your lap by the overweight baseball fan sitting next to you at the ballpark. Even though it is a few months away from spring training, that didn't stop 2K Sports from bringing a 90 percent complete build of MLB 2K9 to the IGN office.

Trophy support was added in a PS3 firmware update (2.40) in July 2008 and since the start of 2009 they have been compulsory in all full length PS3 releases. Whilst some players are driven by the thought of hoarding trophies, others are content to use them as a way of tracking accomplishments on a bronze, silver, gold and platinum scale.
On many occasions, even after beating the last boss in a game you might have only acquired a mere 10% of the trophies.
Most games are designed to be challenging but there there are a few that really standout when it comes to nabbing those elusive platinum trophies.
If you want your monies worth from a game and its platinum reward, you might want to take a look at ...
Some had problems with the challenges, so I guess it's a bit individual what people struggle with.
I find trophies that make you finish games in a certain time period highly annoying. Take GTA IV for example, who are going to complete it twice just for a trophy...
They forgot battlfield bad company 1, i have 36 days (864 hours)of playing time and yet to get it
My vote goes to warhawk or Disgaea3 for the simple fact you have to grind so much in both of those games.
I got the Killzone 2 plat. It would be about a 1000 times easier if it weren't for Radec on the hardest difficulty (well not radec but his waves of minions...I still have nightmares about that level. I think I calculated by my deaths before and after that it took me about 200-250 trys to beat the last level on the hardest difficulty and only around 50 for the rest of the game..on all modes) And the online rank trophy. How did GG think that was a good idea?
Also the R2 isn't very hard. Most people just complain about the 10k kills one cause they don't like grinding trophies. I will admit that it is the only trophy I am short (3.5k to go lol) but its only because none of my friends ever played online so I stop playing relatively soon
You got skills. I only have 37% of them and I have about...15 days worth of online play(16k kills and 14k deaths)
Are worthless!
unless you're just a show-off or think you're cool by getting them,it gives no good reason to get them!
they should have made this worthwhile...I mean like having extra weapons or infinite lives or stuff like that as a trophy bonus...not just : KILLER TROPHY ...ok what can I do with this;KILLER TROPHY ?
nothing;
and the same goes to XBOX achievements !
games in themselves are pretty worthless! What do you get in real life for finishing a game on hard?
Pasta Padre has posted a comprehensive article on the 10 biggest sports game stories of 2009, ranging from the Tiger Woods scandal to Take 2's problems.
The training help screens don't actually aid players too much, as the button numbers often don't match what they are on the controller. But, if you can struggle past the interface, the game itself is baseball gold. And this is coming from someone who has no interest in baseball whatsover. But if you do, snap this up as quick as you can.
