How to unlock the Earn a Buck Fiddy achievement in NBA Playgrounds - Definitive Guide

There isn't a way you can guarantee yourself a new player by opening packs, so you'll have to grind levels in order to recieve more packs.

Personally, I found this the fastest way to earn experince.

Exhibition Mode
Score: 10

All you need to do is hit 3 3-Pointers. The first will count as 4 points for being the first basket, the other two will net you 3. Rinse and repeat until you level up.

Use any players you want, but I'd reccomend playing using players with a high 3-Pointer rating, as well as against players with low block/steal ratings, in order for you to be able to score easier.

Alternatively, you can play through the tournaments to earn more packs, which have a higher chance of containing rare players.

To gain time, you can play with two controllers

This is much easier now because with the last update they added like 50 or so more players which no body hasn't acknowledged yet

The above solution is by far and away the best way to get in-game XP.

It should also be noted that you can get supplemental XP that will add up to saving you a lot of games over time.

When you get a duplicate player that is of bronze or silver level in a pack, the XP goes to that players progress bar. However, when you get a duplicate player that is of gold level, the XP gets put directly into your overall progress bar:

Legend +300 XP
Epic +200 XP
Regular +100 XP

So because you will end up playing so many games anyway, its good to start leveling up all your players to gold just because you will start getting free xp for duplicates. I personally started with all the legends and epics because they gave more xp.

*** REALLY IMPORTANT ***
If you level up while getting XP from duplicates in a pack opening, you will NOT get a new pack for that level. I tried it once, and haven't tried it since then because I didn't want to lose more progress. It's best to open packs pretty soon after you level up so you don't accidentally lose a pack by maxing out your XP bar early.

thanks for the tip. I have a problem getting overall XP earnings by duplicates, since XP doesn't count to my level progress :( I'm at level 23 at the moment and everytime I get a duplicate player (no matter which level it is - bronze or gold), the XP progres in my overall level stays the same.
Is it possible because of playing exhibition games with 2 controllers, NOT against CPU?

I didn't know that tip about duplicates and I just got my 150 players after 45 hours played time with a mixture of online and this method, online is great for levelling up aswell 400EXP if you win or the opponent quits prematurely, only problem is people dashboarding which grants 0 exp and a lot of time wasted but that should be fixed with an upcoming update.

Have a thumbs up from me! Good method and good tips.

Just got it at Level 50+++... Once you get to level 50 each time you level you get a Legends pack instead of a regular pack.

finally got it, took me a lot of time - 32 hours of playing, grinded up 90 players with gold status. But at the end, under my Collection card I'm still missing 2 players - 1 from Cavs and 1 from 76ers. Still got achievement. Has that happened to anybody else? to get the achievement for unlocking first 150 players but at the same time there are a few (2) players still unlocked in the cards collection?
Lebron James and someone else from 76ers didn't unlocked for me / haven't retrieved them trough card packs :(

So far there is 152 total players with more to come later. So when you get the achievement you most likely will have two players left to unlock. I had 1 left from the Hawks and 1 from the Hornets.

yes, so basically if you want to have Complete roster of all playable characters so far, then you need a total of 152 nba players. I got final 2 yesterday by leveling up 2 levels. Sooner or later we'll get additional 15 players (including Rodman) + Shaquille in 5 different clubs I think... can't wait.

You get a pack of five cards at each time you level up and a legendary pack of five cards when you complete a tournament. If you get doubles, they get discarded and go towards that players XP. Overall this is down to luck with which cards you get.
