There are eight different classes of freestyle superstar in the game, six on offense, and two on defense. These are: playmakers, power players, high fliers, shooters, and inside or outside scorers. Defensively, the game classifies inside and outside stoppers. Two-way players like Kobe Bryant will have both offensive and defensive superstar capability. But each player can only have one type of superstar controls on each side of the ball. Using Bryant again as an example, he’s classified as an outside scorer on offense, though many would say he also has the characteristics of a high flyer. If you prefer to classify Bryant as a high flyer, you can do that in the settings since his stats reflect that ability. However, you can’t take a superstar (but one-dimensional) shooter like Kyle Korver and turn him into a playmaker, because he doesn’t have the offensive awareness or the handles for that role.

I can't wait for this game...
I thought they said there'll be a new FT shooting system rather than the old T-bar, but check out the Gameplay1 video, Dwayne Wade gets fouled and the FT Shooting is the same as in 06
