Because RT is now the size-up button. Maybe they moved it elsewhere, but I'd LOVE if they got rid of the "turbo" mechanic, which has no place in a basketball game IMO. There needs to be a way to differentiate speedy players from slow guys (and yes, to allow for short bursts of speed), but letting people hold a button to run faster is a very dated mechanic and I would love if they came up with a better way to handle it.

EDIT: Ahh, didn't see that it was a triple-threat only thing... they probably kept the turbo/sprint button. I hope they make it harder to just lay on the RT with no consequences though... should tire people out to "sprint" constantly.

The size up should make those clutch moments pretty tense when you have to guard a superstar in a close game

I'm dissapointed they took out the practice gym but I love the Nash pic.

Loved how Sean consistently stressed control, control, control, and he stressed not being interested in pretty animations that take our control away. The shoes, custom arena sounds and everything else are nice too, but glad that he knows gameplay is the factor that will decide this thing.

I will still be VERY skeptical, as I imagine most of you are as well, until I see this game in motion. EA has given a similar interview EVERY year the past four years, so not convinced yet.

Note: if the players still dribble like And 1 Mixtape superstars, it's a wrap, so that's the first thing I'm looking at.

This is a good read, I hope that they can actully deliver on these points? if they can its good for all of us.
We need both EA and 2k to deliver game thats are better then last years versions.

They strapped it all together? or just on the loading screen?
