Re: Am I a dinosaur?

I'm actually surprised by how many guys still use the d-pad here. I grew up as a NES player, but went to the stick as soon as it was available probably the N64 and the PSOne in the same year. I feel like the control is really limited using the d-pad in modern games that utilize three dimensional environments.

Re: Am I a dinosaur?

If you play about 5 games using the analog you won't go back. I remember I started doing this on Madden 2002 for the PS2. At first, I only used analog on offense, but by the time NCAA/Madden '03 came out, I was using analog on defense too.

I don't see how anyone could not use it anymore. You can hit angles with the analog stick that you just can't hit with the d-pad. Don't limit yourself!

Re: Am I a dinosaur?

I think it took me longer to start using the sticks than it did for a lot of guys - probably an extra season and a half in NCAA terms. But now that I've gotten used to it, like others have said, I could never go back now. Playing the 2K basketball games is what really got me comfortable with it, and it's just more responsive/accurate than the D-pad.
