OVERVIEW
Basketball is a sport of individual expression and every player has their own style.
EA SPORTS Freestyle Control is designed to give you the opportunity to use the exact
set of moves that you want to execute at any given time. It lets you bring your style
of basketball to the court.
How it works
When you make a shape using EA SPORTS Freestyle Control (right analog stick),
a move is played out on the court. Making the same shape will always result in the
same move. This means that you can decide exactly which move to use in a specified
situation.
OFFENSE
Every player likes to show off when they have the ball and this is where EA SPORTS
Freestyle Control shines best.
EA SPORTS Freestyle Control produces moves based on what your player is doing at
any given point during a game. However, different moves are performed depending
on which hand the ball carrier is holding/dribbling the ball with.
