Unlike NBA 2K22 MyTeam where you pick your own roster, the teams in MyLeague can only be changed to a certain extent via trades. These are current teams in the NBA, so you can change the roster significantly only via trades or the draft.

To change the starting lineup of your roster, go to the coaching tab in the main menu or the pause menu of your ongoing match. Once you're in the coaching section, visit the Coach Gameplan where you can change the lineup.

Another way to change the starting lineup in a match in NBA 2K22 MyLeague is to change it before the match begins.

Once you've selected the match you want to play, press the options/start' button on your controller. That will enable access to the roster you're about to play with. The roster can then be selected from a variety of lineups such as Starter, Bench, Three-point shooting, Defensive, etc. Alternatively, you can also pick and choose your own starting lineup.

A third way to change the starting lineup in NBA 2K22 is by visiting Game Plan in the pause menu of your ongoing match and goig to Substitutions. Under that tab, you can select each player and replace with the player you want from your roster.

How to change a player's position in NBA 2K22 MyLeague?

A player's position can be changed in NBA 2K22 in the same way as choosing the starting lineup.

You can change any player's position, and make them play the spot you want. Players in MyLeague can play in positions outside their officially listed positions in the NBA. For example, you can make Stephen Curry play center and JaVale McGee play point guard, if you wish to.
