In anticipation of NBA Live 2003's PC release, I picked up the Gravis Eliminator Aftershock today for $30 at Best Buy... I played a few games of Live 2000 with it, and so far I'm diggin' it.
It's kind of hard to adjust after using the GamePad Pro for so long, which is essentially an old-school PSOne controller (i.e. no analog). The only other analog controller I've ever used was the PS2 analog... It's kind of strange having the analog sticks above the face buttons and d-pad instead of below. And the start/select buttons are arranged vertically, which makes it awkward to call for a pick. I definitely like the analog control though.
One thing that bugs me though, it seems like when you turn analog mode on in NBA Live, the turbo button doesn't do anything. When you hold it down, the turbo meter seems to go down faster than usual, but you don't get a speed boost. Very strange.
Anyone who has a console version of Live 2003, is it hard to adjust to using both sticks as well as all the standard buttons?
