I recently accquired an XBOX 360 controller for Windows

Basically for playing PES and Fifa on, as they're the only games I really play. I use the analog stick. However, I can't seem to get used to it.

1. If a player is facing in the wrong direction, for example facing left when he is shooting into the right goal, if I push the analog stick to the right, rather than turning on his heel as happens if you press the right arrow on the keyboard, he almost runs in a full circle, usually losing the ball in the process.

2. It's almost impossible to get the stick to go in a straight line, and this also seems to be the same with the D pad, I'm fed up with the amount of times a player has started to run in a diagonal line and then off the pitch.

I'm fine with all other buttons, it's just the actual movement I'm so rubbish at.

wrong forum but welcome to the world of procrastination.

Moved.

i too own one of these. and maybe thats why i suck at this game

I got it too, but I've got a different problem. I'm playing Fifa, and when it comes to the controller selection menu, I always get 2 controller icons that move together as I select sides. once I'm in the game, I get 2 players moving in sync. does anyone know how I can fix this?
