Editing Freestyle Superstars Abilities
Although it is possible to assign new abilities through DBF editing, it is recommended that you make these changes through the in-game Edit Player function. Because the game will perform checks/recalculations when editing, trading or signing players to make ensure a player's overall rating is correct and assign/remove Freestyle Superstars abilities. Therefore, if a player is assigned abilities through the DBF that his ratings do not qualify for, he will lose them when a recalculation is performed.
If you do wish to assign Freestyle Superstars abilities through DBF editing, make sure that you also update a player's ratings so that he qualifies for the abilities you are assigning. You will need to do this if you wish to assign FSS abilities to a player in a Dynasty game you have already started. Be sure to make a backup of your Dynasty before making any changes to the DBF files in case anything goes wrong.
