Features like height, weight, and wingspan are crucial to unlocking a build, and any difference in the accuracy will not unlock the form. Alongside this, you’ll need to select the correct Takeover Skills to unlock a particular replica.
Once you’ve selected and input the correct features of a character, given everything is right, you’ll receive a notification stating that “you’ve created a special replica of” when you pass character creation and go into the team selection screen. In addition, the unlocked special replicas will go by a nickname whenever they aren’t in a game, which is another signifier that a build has been successfully created.

Special Builds are an exciting addition to the NBA franchise, and many players enjoy creating the stars. So even though it takes a lot of grinding and effort to unlock the necessary information from existing players to re-create special builds, they are worth the effort.
