Welcome to the Pro Baseball Spirits 3 Achievement Roadmap. This game was released back in 2006 for Japan Xbox 360’s only. You need a Japanese Xbox 360 to play it as it is not region free. For the most part it is easy, however, there are a few things that need to be referenced before playing. If you follow these steps you should get 1000G with no problems in about 10 Hours, however, it could take up to 15 hours. If you want a quick 440G for a Gamerscore boost for some reason you can get 440G in a little over an hour if you have a boosting partner for the online and by playing one season of Meishou Pennant, one season of MVP penant, and the three online achievements which quitting counts towards getting the online achievements. The rest will take a bit longer.
The important thing to know is to get some of the achievements you need in game points called VC. You earn these by playing season mode games and for all the achievements it DOES NOT MATTER if you win or lose. You need VC for the training, pitching, and home run derby achievements so save those 3 for last after you have enough VC saved.
1. Bookmark this translation guide and use it.
https://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/9292...s-3/faqs/42325
This gives a translation of all the menus and makes things a lot easier.
2. Meishou Penant Mode 120 G
This one is simple. Just select Meishou Penant Mode pick the lowest number of games, then keep pressing A for about half an hour straight. A turbo controller makes this faster, but is not required.
3. MVP Penant Mode 160 G
Select this from the main menu and just keep pressing A. I picked the Chiba Lotte Marines, which have a duck logo holding a bat. This is basically your “My player” mode from the MLB 2k series. However, you can make this very easy on yourself. First pick only a ten game season. By picking the marines you should be the starting pitcher. All you want to do is keep walking batters on purpose and by the third inning the manager will take you out and you can sim the rest of the game. Repeat this for all the remaining games and the achievement will unlock.
4. Maji Penant Mode 400G
This is the one that will be a grind. It will also effect if you finish this game in 10 hours or less or if it will take more. You need to play all 9 innings of each game. You can lose the game; it does not matter if you win. There are a few ways to make this easier. First, by using the translation guide you want to make sure you turn anything that can be a deterrent off. Therefore, make sure the cut scenes are set to minimal, the errors are off, injuries off, and anything else you feel can make it faster. Make sure it is on the easiest difficulty possible and that everything that can be set to auto is turned to the auto position. What I mean by this are the fielding, running, defense, strategy, and some pitching mechanics can all be set to auto. This means you barely have to do anything at all. The fielders will field for you. You can stand there and get struck out when batting. The only thing you will have to do is pitch just press A to pitch down the middle let your fielders field it for you and repeat this till the game ends. If no one scores it is called a tie after 12 innings. Each 9 inning game played legitly takes about 30 minutes so by doing the math it can take up to 15 hours just for this one achievement. However, if you have a turbo pad EVERYTHING involves just pressing A. So simply set the turbo pad to repeat A over an over and you can do this while sleeping. New games will be set up, it will go to the next game automatically and it should cut down the games to about 15 minutes a piece instead of 30 and you don’t have to do anything, but leave it running. After the season is complete the achievement will unlock.
One other thing to note the game doesn't save unless you finish a game and select the bottom option on the pennant menu which is save and quit. Quitting during a game will put you back to the main menu and you will lose all your progress.
5. Xbox Live 5, 10, 20 Played 160G Total.
Simply go into the quick match mode under the Xbox live menu. Hit quick match at the same time as your boosting partner and once the game loads continue to press A until the game starts. Once it loads and the game is waiting for you to make the first pitch quit out and the game will count. Repeat 9 additional times to get the three achievements.
6. Home Run Derby, Strike Pitch Mode, Trial Mode 160G total.
At this point you should have 840G and just these 3 achievements left. They all require doing different baseball things such as hitting home runs, perfect pitches, and training drills. Please refer to the achievement guide for exact details on these 3 achievements.
Overall other than the 3 achievements in step 6 this game is effortless. The season modes require just finishing them, you can quit out of the online games which speeds up that achievement dramatically and just a basic knowledge of baseball will help you with the other achievements.
