The syntax changes.  Something like this might give you what you want.

#+ATTR_LATEX: :placement [htb!] :options scale=1.5 
#+CAPTION: a float needs a caption
[[file:fig.pdf]]

do check out:

  http://orgmode.org/org.html#LaTeX-specific-attributes

>From the source code, ox-latex.el, you should be able to get it to
accept placement without square brackets.  It should also be possible
to set something like htb! as the default value of floats, if you so
desire.  Check the variable org-latex-default-figure-position.
