PC Madden 07 - Can't assign buttons for wired 360 controller?

[Von Dozier]

for some reason, when I choose gamepad in the game, it won't allow me to assign buttons. so basically i'm left totally confused with recievers "1 2 3 4 5" etc, the default options.

Is there any way to adjust the controls to fit my gamepad how I want?

It's pretty limited. I have been using my Xbox 360 controller, and it ends up working out just like playing on a console (controller wise). Completely opened the game up for me.

Isn't working that well for me. For example, hike is the B button, instead of what probably should be A. all the buttons are mixed around strangely.

Might not help that I'm using XBCD, but I doubt it makes a difference.

It does. You need the official MS drivers.

Ahhh, blech.

Yup works like a charm. Now it's like controlling a console version. Very well done imo.

You don't necessarily need Microsoft drivers, but it helps. I have a profile for XBCD and the 360 pad if you want it, that has the default buttons playing like an XBox version. Some of them are a bit sketchy since the PC version automatically maps presnap things to one button as well as a defensive option. If I remember correctly, things like QB vision are on the RT but the receivers are X, Y, B, and LB/RB, making RB throws a bit tough to do. It shows up as "1, 2, 3" instead of "X, Y, B", though...which is why I went back to MS drivers. You can play it fine on the profile I have, which also fixed the axes to work for the R stick in-game...but it's just a bit more confusing than I liked.

Where can I get the MS drivers? Thanks
