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 (C 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.
Dribbling In Place/Jab Step/Back Step
While your player is standing in one place and dribbling the ball, you can
execute a basic crossover between the legs.
➥➥
When dribbling with the right hand, tap the C Stick h. The player crosses
the ball between his legs to his left hand.
➥➥
If your player is dribbling the ball with his left hand, tap the C Stick f.
The player crosses the ball between his legs to his right hand.
➥➥
To perform a jab step, tap the C Stick i.
➥➥
To back step away from a defender, tap the C Stick g. The back step move
is a great move to use when you want to create space between yourself
and the defender, or to relocate your Player behind the 3-point line for
a shot attempt from downtown.
EA SPORTS
™
FREESTYLE CONTROL
Standing Without Dribbling (Triple Threat)
An important part of the game occurs after a player has received
a pass or brought down a rebound, but has not yet begun to
dribble. At this point, a player is said to be a “Triple Threat” which
means he can drive, shoot, or pass—making him extremely hard to defend.
There are eight different positions you can maneuver your player into in order
to set up for a drive past a defender.
➥➥
Example One: Move the C Stick g and hold it there. Your player will step
one foot back and palm the ball behind his body. From this position he is
set up to drive past a defender to the left or to the right.
In order to execute a drive from any of the
Triple Threat positions:
1. From Triple Threat, hold the C Stick g.
2. Move the Control Stick h or f and hold it there.
3. Release C Stick. Your player executes an aggressive move in the direction
you chose with the Control Stick. Each of the eight Triple Threat positions
has its own unique drives in either direction for a total of 16 different
moves.
TIP:
If the defense begins to anticipate your moves and starts to
back away, tap the C Stick g to execute a step-back dribble and
hit the wide-open shot. Now you’re a real Triple Threat!
Standing Without Dribbling (In The Post)
Another game situation in which the Total Player Control can be used with
great effectiveness is in the post.
➥➥
From the Triple Threat position, tap the C Stick i and your player turns his
back to the basket. From here you will be able to execute moves similar to
those described above.
Linking Moves
After you have mastered the moves listed above, link the moves together.
Linking moves together is particularly effective when combining Triple Threat
drives with “dribbling on the run” crossovers. Spend some quality time in
Practice mode and you will realize the staggering number of combinations
that can be achieved by linking moves from these two states.
Advanced Moves
You can perform more advanced moves by moving the EA SPORTS Freestyle
Control in more than one direction. These moves take a little bit of practice,
but once you get the timing right you will be leaving defenders in the dust.
➥➥
To try an advanced move, use a basic crossover to get your player dribbling
the ball with his right hand. Without moving, move the C Stick from its
centered position g and then h (in the shape of the letter “J” in one
smooth motion). The player crosses the ball behind his back from his
hand to his left.
➥➥
When dribbling with the right hand, you can also cross the ball in front
of the body to the left hand by moving the C Stick i and then h.
Cradle Move
Each of the crossover moves can be further enhanced with a cradle move.
➥➥
Before executing a crossover, move the C Stick from its centered position
in the same direction as the hand that is dribbling the ball (i.e., to the right
if you are dribbling with your right hand). Next, quickly fire the ball over
left by performing any of the three crossover moves described above.
NOTE:
Any of these moves can be executed in either direction based
on which hand is dribbling the ball.
TIP:
Not everybody is capable of pulling off dribble moves with
the same speed and effectiveness as a Jason Kidd, so be sure to
try these moves with players of varying abilities.
Dribbling On The Run
You can execute all of the crossover moves (described above) while your
player is in motion.
➥➥
Tapping or holding the C Stick i while you are on the move executes two
different spin moves.
➥➥
Tapping the C Stick g executes a hesitation move.
A
There is also a hidden spin move that only the best players in the league
can execute. See if you can figure it out!

DEFENSE
Of course, the game experience would be somewhat incomplete if
EA SPORTS Freestyle Control were not available to you while you are
playing defense. Relative to the arsenal of moves available on offense,
the number of defensive moves is much smaller since the primary objective
on defense is to prevent your opponent from scoring, however it is a skill
that will take some time and effort for you to master.
Stealing The Ball/Intercepting Passes
In order to steal the ball or intercept an errant pass, you will have to pay close
attention to which hand you want to use.
➥➥
In order to steal with your right hand, tap the C Stick f.
➥➥
To steal using your left hand, tap the C Stick h.
Facing Up The Ball Carrier
Staying between your man and the basket is no easy feat, especially when
that man is someone like Jason Kidd. However, if you use the C Stick and face
up your opponent, you may force a turnover or an errant pass.
➥➥
In order to face up the ball carrier, move and hold the C Stick g. Your
player drops into an aggressive defensive stance. From here, you have
full mobility with your Player using the Control Stick.
TIP:
While facing up a ball handler, move the C Stick h or f and
quickly Down again without returning it to it’s centered position.
Your player executes a steal without ever leaving the face up
position.
Contesting Shots
In order to prevent your player from being aggressively backed down, or to
alter an offensive player’s shot, hold the C Stick i. Your player raises his arms
above his head to contest a shot. From here, you will have full mobility with
your player using the Control Stick. This is a great way to decrease your
opponent’s shooting percentage without putting yourself at risk for getting
whistled for a foul like when attempting to block a shot.

Post up
If you want to try one of the new post moves like the “up-andunder” but no one is positioned in the low post, tap the ✚Control
Pad f. One of your teammates relocates to the low post and
calls for a pass. Get him the ball and get to work!
Pick and Roll
If you like to stick to the basics and play old-school ball, run the pick and roll.
Press the ✚Control Pad g and one of your teammates sets a pick on your
defender and then rolls toward the basket. Blow around the screen with an EA
SPORTS™Freestyle Control move and either take it to the basket, or dish to the
roller—the choice is yours.
3-Point Play
Is the defense showing zone? Or, maybe your three-point specialist is on
a hot streak. Either way, pressing the ✚Control Pad i sends three of your
teammates out to the perimeter to spot up for a three-point attempt.
Swing the ball around and let it fly!
TIP:
Tr y combining different Quick Plays for added effectiveness.
For example, call an isolation play, and once they have cleared out
call for a post up. Now you can run a two-man game against the
defense for an easy back down play or a quick kick-out for three.
DEFENSE
Man-to-Man
The most common defensive choice in the NBA is man-to-man defense.
Every player is assigned a specific player to guard from the opposing team.
The man-to-man is a strong defense against outside shooting but is vulnerable
to isolation and post up plays. To call a man-to-man defense, press the
✚Control Pad f.
Zone
When playing zone defense, players guard a specific area of the court rather
than a particular player. The zone is a strong defense against isolations and
post up plays but is vulnerable to outside shooting. To call a zone press
✚Control Pad h.
Double Team
If you feel one your teammates is having difficulty guarding the ball carrier,
press the ✚Control Pad i and one of your teammates will come over and
double-team the ball carrier until he shoots or passes the ball.
Intentional Foul
Use Intentional Foul by pressing the ✚Control Pad Down. Call an Intentional
foul when you need to stop the clock late in the game when the score is close.
