The first step is creating your player. Choose your position, height, weight, and wingspan, as these significantly impact your attributes and potential. Carefully select your archetype, which defines your playstyle and skill caps. Consider what kind of player you want to be – a sharpshooter, a dominant big man, or a versatile playmaker – and build accordingly. This choice is permanent, so choose wisely!

Key Decisions:
- Position: PG, SG, SF, PF, C.
- Physical Attributes: Height, Weight, Wingspan affect speed, strength, and reach.
- Archetype: Determines your primary and secondary skills, influencing badge access and attribute caps.
