There does seem to be a bit of a lag with it however, wish it was more responsive because I like to get my defense set quickly to avoid being caught in a shift.

toggle the strategy pad setting. then you won't have to press a button to turn it on.

I dislike it. Takes way to much time. Plus, there was nothing wrong with the old system. Why fix something that no one complained/cared about?

Exactly where I stand on it. It's not that it's THAT bad a system but it's not better so why change something that worked just fine. The real error wasn't the change though, it was the removal of the option for previous control scheme.

Still feel like it was a step backwards. The movements feel less natural with my fingers than last year's design.

I would have preferred they spent that time working on a way to switch to any player in 1-2 button presses on defense.

I like the Pad now.

Does that option means that it satys up all of the time?

I'm getting the hang of it, but with the A.I. hiking the ball so fast, it's hard to adjust how I want to on defense. Hopefully, they will address that in a patch.

Completely agree, I adapted to the strat pad quickly, and didn't understand all the complaints initially. However, the CPU doesn't give you time to use the pad consistently, THAT IS the problem. If EA could just slow down the CPU's quick snaps, we'd be ok I think.

I think the stratagy pad is ok for some but most people want old system back. I think its harder using the 360 controller vs the PS3 controller when it comes to the stratagy pad. I like it but when the patch comes out I am going back to the old way.
