Creating a player can be one of the most exciting things to do in NBA 2K22. You can completely customize a player’s attributes and build type. The player can be as tall, fast, or skilled as you want. The best thing about creating a player is that you can add them to a draft class to use in other modes. There are two ways to do this.
Draft your custom player.
If you haven’t already created a player, you can do this by going to the features menu and selecting the create a player option. Select either the NBA or WNBA depending on what you want to make. You have the option to start from scratch, use current NBA players as a template, or use other templates that players across the 2K community have created. When you are finished, make sure you save your new custom player. The player should now be in the “Created Player” list. Now you are ready to add your created player to a draft class.
Follow these steps:
- Select “Create a draft class”
In the features menu, scroll over to and select the “Create a draft class option.”
- Select “NBA” or “WNBA”
Choose the league that your created player is in.
- Select a draft class type
There are user templates and old rosters that you can use for ideas.
- Find your created player and select “copy to draft class”
Once you select a draft type, you can see all the players that are in the upcoming draft for your next season. At the top, scroll to the “Created Players” menu to see the player you just created, or if you already made a player, they should be listed here.
- Remove a player from the current draft class
In order for you to add your player, you will need to remove someone from the current draft class. The player that you remove will be removed permanently.
- Save and Exit
- Load your custom draft class when starting a new season
When you create a new MyNBA or WNBA season and get to the part where it asked you about the draft class, make sure that you select the “Load Draft Class” option.
- Select “User-Created Draft Class”
In the Draft Class picker select User-Created Draft Class.
- Select and load the draft class of your choice
Scroll over to “My Files” and load up the draft class that you created.
You are also able to use a second method to add your created player to a draft class. After you create your player go straight to creating a new MyNBA or MyWNBA season and select “Create or edit draft class” when you’re asked about what draft class you want to use. You will have the option to add your created play here just like you would in the first method. That’s all there is to it. When the draft comes around you should see all the players that you added in the draft.
