The developers of NBA 2K26 are closely monitoring user feedback and have been providing regular quality-of-life updates for the game. Since its release, the game has undergone improvements and is now set to welcome players for another season of basketball action. On September 11, the developers pushed the Gen 9 patch that focused on MyCAREER and online game modes. The highlights included retaining cap breakers and badge perks when leaving a crew, as well as a fix for the disconnect issue in Pro-Am. However, the build specialization issue is concerned with something else; in any case, it has nothing much to do with the user-end. In this article, we have briefly mentioned build specialization and possible fixes to the current situation.
NBA 2K26 build specialization not working: How to fix it
Build specialization forms the core of MyPLAYER identity and is important for players grinding in the MyCareer or NBA games. Many players have reported that the Build Specialization goals are not tracking in NBA/MyCareer games, but they are working in Online Modes including Park, REC, Pro-Am, Street Kings and Theater.
Ahead of season 2, such changes may indicate that the upcoming season will bring system-wide fixes and gameplay improvements. The exact timeline of the maintenance has not been updated yet. Meanwhile, you can try completing goals in other modes such as 3v3 Street Kings, Park, REC, Pro-am, and Theater. Also, some players observed that the build Specialization progress works normally for older characters but doesn’t work properly for newly created characters, that suggests that the bug is character specific.
However, if the build specialization error does not resolve after maintenance, you can try these steps:
- Install any available updates, then fully close the game and reboot your system.
- Sign out of your 2K account and log in again to refresh authentication tokens. Optimize the network by rebooting the router and modem.
- Clear the cache on your system. For example, on PC, open the search menu and type %localappdata% and press Enter. Clear any temporary game files that appear in the folder.
- If you are using Steam or the Epic Games Store, you can verify and repair game files. For Steam, right-click on your game in the library, then select properties, followed by installed files. Thereafter, select verify integrity of game files. For Epic Games, find the game in the library and click on the three dots. Select manage and then verify.
