How to unlock the Your Pain, My Gain achievement in NBA Playgrounds - Definitive Guide

Contrary to prior belief, you do not need 5 of one kind. I kept track, and the most I got of any lottery pick was three in one game. So you only need five lottery picks total in one game. The easiest and most safe way to get this done is to set up a 15-minute exhibition game on beginner. Use two legends, epics, or whatever the best players you have are, and go against two players who aren't very good (Roy Hibbert, Kris Humphries, etc.) Then perform alley-oops, dunks, steals, and blocks more than anything, considering 2s and 3s only fill up your meter slightly. Also, shoving and throwing elbows should be avoided considering it makes your bar go down.

I think this achievement is broken. I just played few games getting 5+ in each game and no unlock. Unless for whatever reason they only count lottery picks with timers.

Tested this out. Still works. Very useful tip. Worked for me from the first try.

The easiest way to get this achievement is in an exhibition game.

Before you play the game, customise it and choose to set the game length to 10 minutes.

This should not only give you a heap of time to get this achievement by building up your meter through dunks, blocks and steals, but will allow you to build towards other achievements.

A good way to get this is if you have a friend setup an online versus friend match. If you don’t have a friend, it’s easy to do in a tournament or you can do it in exhibition mode.

You can set up a 15-minute exhibition game on beginner if you need to and you can do that after picking your player. Then, on the court, select you can press  for match options. The way you build your Lottery Picks are by doing Alley-oops, dunks, steals, and blocks. You want to avoid shoving and throwing elbows as it will drain your bar.

The Lottery picks are picked randomly, and some will last 45 seconds and some don’t.

The most convenient way to do this trophy is with 2 controllers, setting not the time for winning, but 99 points
