MIMA gives essentially full control over both assist and regen. There are some limits: the max rates are still limited by the battery management, so you e.g. can't do full regen if it'd stress the batteries, but within that, yes. You can for instance put the car in neutral, and stall the engine, or rev it to several thousand RPM, just with the joystick.
