How to unlock the Team Player achievement in Rocket League - Definitive Guide
There are 4 achievements linked to Season mode and luckily you can do them all with the following settings:
• Team Size - 1v1
• Difficulty - Rookie
• Season Length - 9 Weeks
• Playoffs Teams - 4 Teams
You will play a total of 11 matches, 2 play offs and 9 matches and during this time you will face all 9 teams that are in your season for this achievement, The 9 teams I faced after choosing the top left team for myself are:
• Bombers
• Express
• Skyhawks
• Guardians
• Rebels
• Cyclones
• Mammoths
• Pioneers
• Dragons
Rookie difficulty should be easy enough to win every match anyway as with only one AI they are very stupid. The Ai being stupid means that most of the time you can hit the ball in from the kick off, the 3 times you're positioned almost straight onto the ball boost all the way until you're close to the ball and stop boosting, then keep driving to hit the ball over them and hopefully into the goal (boost too far and it'll hit the top) when you're on the side of the ball boost half way then stop boosting and try to hit the corner of your car on the side of the ball facing away from the goal, takes a bit of practice.

Just finished today and did not work

I did exactly this before coming to check and can confirm that I unlocked Perfect start, Rocketeer, & then Champion. However I did not unlock Team Player, despite having played at least 1 game against every other team (2 against the two I played in the playoffs).
I went 8-1 during the regular season though, is it possible you need to go 9-0 maybe and BEAT all the other teams in a regular season?

Just as a heads up.
My friend and I did EVERY achievement locally. He was player 1 and I was player 2.
This is the ONLY achievement that WOULD NOT UNLOCK in local Multiplayer.
I did the season twice as player two. Nothing. Then we switched and I was player 1 and he was player 2 and I was finally able to unlock the achievement.
So all n all if you want this achievement you must be player 1. This was the only achievement I couldn't earn in Local Two Player

For those of you that have experienced the Glitch this Achievement can have, I offer my experience that worked for me. I have tried for well more than a year to get this achievement, and lost count of how many seasons I've played. When a patch to the game finally auto unlocked the Collect 200 items achievement, I decided to give it another go. To my misfortune playing through a new season didn't work.
So I decided to delete my saved game data, then I disconnected from xbox live. Launched the game and started up a new season. I had a vanilla car and when I won items they were generic beginner things. Played with fewest teams and 9 weeks, played through the 9th game. Once I was in the play-offs I connected to xbox live by plugging in my network cable during the playoff game (didn't exit out or anything. During the championship game I got a notification that there was a game save conflict and it was asking me which I wanted to keep Local save or Cloud. I picked the LOCAL game save (Newer). Sometime while I was finishing the championship game the achievement unlocked.
The really cool thing was that when I backed out I expected to have lost all of my cars, but I had all of them. It was like I chose the cloud game save. Not sure how that happened...but that was cool that I didn't have to lose my stuff.
The only downer is I was hoping to earn a new "certified" item since I had traded mine in in hopes of getting a better one. But for some reason I am not being awarded anymore stuff...and so am not getting a replacement certified item. (if anyone out there is feeling charitable and wants to give me theirs I'd appreciate it.) Anyway, I know this may not fix everyone but I hope it helps some of you that have had a similar challenge with unlocking this one.

Thank you so much, I finally have the achievement because of you 🙌🏻

another "if you did not get this after completing seasons multiple times", I'll try and keep it simple
After completing a season for the nth time and reading here, it popped after I did the following.
After completing a season for the nth time and reading here, it popped after I did the following.
- Close game.
- In settings, turn off internet.
- Delete local save data.
- Open game.
- Do 9 season matches.
- Exit the game. (I pressed the button to start the first play-off so force-quit the game at this point, I had intended to go to the main menu and close normally.)
- Turn on internet.
- (At this point the achievement unlocked. I was then going to open the game to re-sync files and use the cloud save, which is when I expected it to occur)
This trophy currently seems to be glitched I personally played 5 season games with no luck. So what I ended up doing is deleting my save file for rocket league and disconcerting my playstation from the internet. If done correctly you should find that you are a basic octane and have nothing unlocked. Now just play through a season I recommend using these settings:
Team size: 1v1
Bot difficulty: rookie
Season length: 9 weeks
Teams: 4
After playing the first nine matches you should get your trophy. Hope this helps!

To unlock this trophy, you have to play against every team in a Season.
Once you load into the game and are in the lobby, press on the "Play" button, navigate towards "CUSTOM GAMES" and press it. Choose "SEASON" and press "START NEW SEASON". I would recommend putting the settings like this:
Team Size: Doesn't matter if you're going for this trophy
Difficulty: Doesn't matter if you're going for this trophy
Season Length: Doesn't matter if you're going for this trophy
Playoffs Teams: Doesn't matter if you're going for this trophy
You can choose any type of settings it will automatically be given after the ninth match of a Season, so don't worry.
Press "CONTINUE" to move on. The rounds will take 5 minutes long so if you do 5 * 9 it will only take around 45 minutes.
After 9 matches of the season, you will unlock: Team Player

In a season, you will play against 9 teams, with you being the 10th. The shortest possible season is 9 games, so completing a 9-game season will unlock this trophy alongside Rocketeer. See that trophy for more information.
if you're struggling to unlock this achievement by it bugging try this:
Go to: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Rocket League\TAGame\SaveData
Cut the save data to the desktop.
Turn steam into offiline mode
Start up Rocket League (You should have none of your settings etc. saved if done correctly)
Then complete a season as normal and the achievement should pop!
When you turn back online it might take a second for it to show but it will

Small tip for shortening the time needed for this achievement on Steam:
Install Bakkesmod
Start season on beginner (optional)
Score one goal in a game
Open up bakkesmod, in tab "current game" set the speed of the game to 5x and invert gravity so the bot cant score and the game only lasts 1 minute. You can get this achievement done in 10-15 mins.

From the Main Menu select "Season". Select "Start New Season". Change the Team Size to 1v1, Difficulty to Rookie, Season Length to nine weeks and Playoff Teams to 4. Choose your Logo and Team Name and select "Continue". Finish the entire season and the achievement will unlock.

When creating a season, we set the maximum number of teams, end the season and the championship.
