Just a quickie, got word from our friends in Konami that the tricks are indeed no longer on the d-pad/left analogue stick. They are now performed with a combination of holding R2/RT, with subtle inputs of a direction with the d-pad/left stick. It’s something we reported on at the playtest, but with contradictory reports going around its good to get clarification.
The news will please a lot of people no doubt, its the end of accidental roulettes!
