tinman_1954 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Recent received a friend request on the PS4. According to their PlayStation profile they have earned 1006 platinum trophies and a total 40316 trophies. I looked that same individual up on PSNProfiles and according to PSNP the individual has only earned 20 platinum and 2174 total trophies. I didn't misspell or mistype either user ID names and have rechecked each several times. How can this weird trophy count be possible? I noticed the number of games played, number of friends and number of communities was also different but the same games, friends and communities were on both profiles. I went back on the PS4 and did an Online ID or Name Search and the only profile that showed up was identical to the PSNProfiles profile. So what is going on here? Can two people have and use the same identical User ID Name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But it would help a lot if you'd just link the profiles you're talking about. Edited November 21, 2019 by Santa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 All profiles aren't updated on PSNP all the time. Manually update their profile and then see if it's current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus1343 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Sounds like hacked trophies that are hidden except for friends only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated the profile before looking at it and comparing the two. 54 minutes ago, Santa said: No. But it would help a lot if you'd just link the profiles you're talking about. I don't want to use names or link because it may be perceived as finger pointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no hidden trophies and I have seen the individuals profile on other peoples' friends list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was it! They were using a capital i (I) in the middle of their name in the place of a lower case L (l). They had me going in circles on that one. lol Thanks.
