how to turn on player lock in 2k26

To turn on Player Lock in NBA 2K26, go to MyLeague/MyNBA or a game mode that supports it, open the Options/Settings menu, then find Position and switch it to Player Lock. After that, use L2/R2 on PlayStation or LT/RT on Xbox to choose the player you want to control, then back out and start the game.

Quick steps

1. Open your league or game.
2. Pause or open the menu.
3. Go to Settings.
4. Select Position.
5. Change it to Player Lock.
6. Use L2/R2 or LT/RT to pick the player.
7. Save/back out and play.

Notes

• Some modes may call this position lock or place it under controller settings instead of the exact same menu path.

• If you only want one player, the lock should keep you on that player for offense and defense.

• A few guides also mention that the setting can be changed back to default by disabling both player and position lock.

TL;DR

Go to Settings > Position > Player Lock, pick the player with L2/R2 or LT/RT , then back out and start the game.
