Freestyle Control

Could somebody explain this?
What does it do?

where have you been..

ya...where have you been man?

Under a rock obviously, just answer the guys question.

Freestyle Control allows you to perform moves on command. Whereas you'd once tap the crossover button and a random move would be executed, with Freestyle you can perform the move you want to perform, to elude your defender. It also comes into play on defence.

To paraphrase what EA have been saying in the interviews and previews, it allows much greater control over the players.
