    List of gamepads supported by PC version.

    Looking to see if my Saitek P880 (I know... very old) is supported.

    Thanks.

    Just use a 360 wired pad and get the drivers from Microsoft.com (that's what I do for emulation). I'm sure you can get a used one from your local video game distributor.

      PS3 controller works (and works well) if you have the right app for it.

      It has to be plugged in of course, but it works perfectly!

          My only issue with the logitech rumblepad is you can't make a smooth rotation with the right analog stick when pitching certain pitches because of its design (the casing around the stick is square).

            true, thats why my pitches are always bad gestures.
            do you know if the ps3 or xbox controller have the same issue.

              I must be in the minority (though I am not alone - I saw this on another thread), but I use a wired 360 controller and it will not be recognized in drills, HR derby or My Player modes. It acts like it is recognized (letting me use button presses on the controller to get to the field) but once on the filed, the keyboard is the only controller that gets any response. I am hoping this will be addressed by the patch. None of you other guys having this problem? You can use your gamepad for drills especially? I need drills to learn the game, but I have not been able to do them because of this.

                I have the Logitech Dual Action and it's built the same way.

                At first, I thought it was causing some bad pitches, but now, after many games, I don't have a problem. In fact, I think the gesture system is flawed: I never get a bad gesture and accuracy with the gesture never seems to affect the pitch. I hit my spot every single time.

                EDIT: forgot to say that this controller worked out of the box with no tinkering needed on Win 7

                  did you turn that bad gesture off. casue my pitches tend to be off a bit.
                  maybe Im doing something else wrong.

                    No problems with wired 360 or my old Saitek P990.

                      Here are the list of gamepads for PC I own(I'm a game peripheral nut. I also own about 5 joysticks):

                      XBox 360 Wired
                      Mad Catz XBox 360 Sports Edition(Seahawks)
                      Logitech Dual Action
                      Saitek PS2700 Rumble(leftstick and dpad are reversable)
                      Gravis Eliminator Aftershock(old, old but still works)

                      Out of all of those only Xbox360 Wired and Logitech Dual Action worked correctly in 2K10. The other three had problems with wrong buttons assigned and especially the leftstick function was given to the d-pad, which makes pinpoint pitching impossible. Rightstick didn't even work for those pads.

                      All the controllers except Dual Action are rumble-capable, but they don't work at all in MLB 2K10. Rumble on 360 Wired actually functions in games like Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Devil May Cry, so it is capable to work with PC games. Oh well, darnt.

                        I was going to install my PS3 controller but from what I read the drivers could play havoc on the USB ports with win7, so I went ahead and ordered a Xbox 360 Wireless (Windows version).

                          No problems whatsoever here. Been playing MLB and NBA with it and so far so good.

                            The PS3 controller or the 360 wireless? If the ps3 controller, are you running windows 7? thanks
