How to Switch Players in NBA 2K21

2K21 is finally here, and with it, a whole new set of controls to learn. If you’re wondering how to switch players in NBA 2K21, we’ve got you covered.

Introduction

In NBA 2K21, there are two main ways to switch between players on your team: by calling for a specific player, or by using the swap button.

To call for a specific player, first bring up the player control menu by pressing down on the right joystick. From here, you can cycle through all the players on the court using the left joystick. To select a player, just press the A/X button.

If you want to quickly swap between players without going into the menu, you can do so by pressing the swap button. By default, this button is mapped to the left bumper on Xbox and L1 on PlayStation. Pressing it once will switch to the player closest to the ball, while pressing it twice will switch to the player farthest away from the ball.

If you want to switch to the player closest to the ball, you can press and hold the A button (Xbox) or X button (PlayStation).

On the Court

Once you’re in a game, you can switch players by pressing R1/RB. This will cycle through all the active players on your team. If you want to switch to a specific player, you can press L1/LB to open up the team’s player menu. From here, you can use the left analog stick to highlight the player you want to control, then press A/X to select them.

In a Game

In order to switch players in NBA 2K21 during a game, you will need to pause the game. To do this, press the Options button on your controller. This can be done at any time during gameplay, whether the ball is in play or not.

Once you are in the Pause Menu, navigate to the “Game” tab using the Left Stick. Then, scroll down to the “Player Substitutions” option and press X/A on your controller to select it.

From here, you will be able to choose any player that is currently on the bench and sub them into the game by pressing X/A on their name. You can also choose to sub out any player that is currently on the court by pressing X/A on their name in the “Active Players” section.

Once you have made your substitutions, press X/A on the “Confirm” button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes and return to gameplay.
