Thanks! The walkthrough didn’t help this pop for me. Followed your guide and it worked!

Some people in the comments have reported this as buggy, only unlocking for them as an owner. This absolutely shouldn't matter, but if it worked for them and you're having issue then maybe give it a go.
For this, I would recommend starting an offline franchise. Then, select any team (settings/role doesn't matter) and start the franchise.
Before simulating ahead, click and create a coach for all the other teams (if you create a character and just choose the default coach it'll only take a minute or two). This is to ensure we can control a team who didn't make it to the Super Bowl and had at least one player elected to the Pro Bowl.
I can confirm that if you control one team and that team gets to the Super Bowl, this achievement won't unlock. Even if players were elected (which they would be), they can't play due to the Super Bowl the week after. By selecting ALL teams, the achievement a guarantee, but is also probably overkill. If you want to just create a character for 6 - 8 "good" teams this should also work unless you are very unlucky.
Either way, simulate to the playoffs. Then, advance week by week until the Pro Bowl (no option to simulate directly to it). Go to play the Pro Bowl. Once you're loaded into the game, Super-sim to the end, and then upon arriving back in the Franchise Menu you should unlock the achievement.

Tried it as Coach, bot simmed & played, no Achievement. Tried it as owner. Had 2 players make the probowl, both played & simmed, no achievement ( I had used Dolphins).
Started a new franchise. Selected Colts, as Luck usually makes probowl. Selected Owner, former player. Made 2 manual saves. Simmed to playoffs. Colts made playoffs, but lost Wild Card. Luck made probowl. Simmed after kickoff to end of each quarter. Achievement popped. What a glitchy achievement.

I know for sure you shouldn't need to be an owner - I'm currently stacking on PS4 with EA Vault access and I did this as a coach. I'll add a note to the guide irrespective that being an owner may help those finding issues, thanks guys.
