2K18: Freestyle Practice w/ Free Agents (before signing)

In MyLeague or MyGM, we need the Freestyle Practice feature for signing Free Agents just so we can test their jump shot and timing release; seeing if they would be a good fit for the team.

As a workaround, I've been signing players (Autosave Off), and testing them out but then I'd have to back out of my MyLeague, sign another and try him out: until I have found the right one for my team.

I think this is a good idea, because just because he has an 87 3PT rating doesn't mean I like his release or playing ability.

How do you turn off auto save?

Definitely something to suggest for 2K19 if it is too late for this year's game. It would be nice to also have a "free agent camp/workout" (for lower tiered FA's) during the offseason to try those dudes out before signing (closer to preseason or after draft).

Re: 2K18: Freestyle Practice w/ Free Agents (before signing)

While we're on the topic of freestyle practice, we should be able to practice free throws too

Every players free throw animation is drastically different and it can be hard to try to learn new players animations in the process of the actual game

However, 2k likes to give half of the players in the league the same free throw animation for some reason so it would get repetitive

Yeah for real though I don't know why they left out free throw practices.
