By default, if dunks are LT + RS + RT, then it makes it slightly tougher by default which is something I like. In the video I saw footplanting that wasnt present in 2k12. More times than often defenders would slide in and out of position in 2k12. If we can get a defender off balance, with 2k slowing down the defensive recovery for lesser defenders, and mitigating sliding, then this will add a new layer of depth that was missing in 2k12.

i'm not quite sold on LT + RS for shooting...having to press LT + RS + RT just to execute a simple dunk sounds like a ridiculous prospect. it seems like cramming all of these functions into the right stick might make shots and dunks less responsive and overly complicated.

think about a situation like this - if you are on a fast break and you pass ahead to your teammate, do you really want to have to remember to hold down the left trigger before making him dunk or lay it in...i can see this control scheme resulting in a lack of responsiveness on shots when you need a very quick dunk or layup. due to this, i foresee a lot of people just giving up on the shot stick in favor of the shot button out of frustration. BUT...here's another question - do they still even have a shot button? i haven't seen that mentioned yet.

they've conveniently left out mentioning the turbo trigger...i'm curious and kind of worried as to how they've handled it. it could go a lot of ways, and some of those ways aren't good. i've heard Rob mention the possibility of one day eliminating the turbo trigger, but being able the manually control your speed is pretty crucial in basketball. hopefully they've kept it and just make it more responsive than last year.
