Join a team to meet players, then add them as friends from the roster. Creating your own team costs 100 coins — you'll be the leader and can kick members.
A friend wants to play.
Want your own baller in the game? Drop a picture of what you want, add a note, and send it in. The creator reviews every request by hand — if it's approved, they'll build and rig your character and it'll show up in your BASE. Nothing you send is shown to other players.
