right analog stick...

Marc,

I am also using my PS2 controller through an adaptor. Could you please explain how to use the right analog stick, I'm getting nothing.

I've remapped the buttons to my liking (x=pass, o=shoot, etc), but start (or is it select?) still seems to be my "shimmy" button...

When I use the right stick (pushing in every possible direction) nothing happens...

Do you mean that I have to first push my shimmy button AND THEN use the right stick?

Please explain it to me as if I were a 6 year old...

Thanks,

Justin

Well on my pad, the right analog stick does the same as if i hold down start and push a direction on the left analog stick. It's just less fiddly.

It will depend on the driver you are using for your PS pad.

Directpad 5 for windows 98/ME is a good one because it lets you map everything to your own tastes, you just have to remember to select 6 Axis as the joypad type or the right stick won't work.

If you have NT/2000/XP you should use NTPAD XP 2.01 which is the best driver i've seen for a non 9x operating system. This is the driver i am using and the right stick works fine.

There are also others for 9x and NT operating systems, but none really work that well compared to the two above.

Which driver are you currently using?

You can get PS pad drivers here

Marc,

I'm using MP-866 USB Joypad drivers...

I downloaded the drivers that you suggested, but it seems that it will ONLY recognize through the serial port and not through the USB adaptor that I am using. Is this correct?

Frankly, I don't know why my current driver (above) is not allowing me to use the right stick in FIFA--it works fine in the new NBA Live demo...

The driver that I am using does not allow for full remapping, though...so any USB options you know of would be very helpful. I'm pretty knew at this, so I apologize or the likely ignorance of a lot of my questions.

Thanks,

Justin

U are pushing the right stick forward which makes the player knock it forward.
try to to push it left or right, this will form a shimmy(i think)
TRY to push in different directions for different tricks

 

[sudhan]

how abt 4 pc??

 

[marc_angelus]

i'm afraid my PS pad adapter was home made and goes into the parallel port, so I can't help much on the usb front. But the Directpad Pro 5 drivers were available to download on the website of a usb ps pad adapter, so i would imagine they are compatible with usb pads. Don't know about the XP ones though.

Here's a link for Directpadpro you might find useful though I havent a clue if it helps for USB since mine is also a LPTI pad.


Also a few simple control tips that may seem obvious after you play a while but might be of use to newcomers.

Tap W repeatedly + direction when ball is in the air to head it

Press and hold A for a flat and low lob .

Tap A to chip the ball.

Pressing and holding W causes your keeper to run out from your goal when an opposing player is approaching your goal.

Shift or Space key + left or right causes you to push the ball forward or backward.

Shift or Space + up or down causes your player to shimmy

Press and keep the Q key to get your players to make runs foward freeing them for open passes.

A very basic though useful tip.

If you find yourself in a one on one situation with the goalie or in the box TAP the D or shoot key instead of pressing it to slot the ball into the net.

Particularly useful if you find that you're always putting the ball over the crossbar.

 

[duongtoan76]

Tapping W seems not to work to me. I have to press S right after cross the ball over and then W to header. It is to assign control to the player nearest to where the ball coming to.

 

[vineetrad]

yeah you need to control the player before you can head but I do it almost without thinking of it so I forgot to mention it

HELP NEEDED WITH SIDEWINDER

... I really need HELP with the SIDEWINDER control pad... could anyone of you guys, please explain to me how to perform certain special moves... since the only moves that I have allready perform... were to tap the sprint button and the cursor!!!

 

[The Kop Kid]

On the PS2 version of the game if you get a free kick from a really long way out-the kind of distance with a 1 or 2 man wall-use the square button instead of the circle and aim about 3/4 of the way up the goal an close to a post( often nocurl is needed). Don't know why the square works better for these but it does. You can score about 90% of 40ish yard free kicks.

I'm using a PS dual shock pad on my PC and START is my skill button. I've seen about 3 skills so far, and I think different players have different skills. Wingers tend to have a skill that involves kicking the ball a few yards ahead of them, everyone else tends to shimmy a bit. The only other skill i've seen so far is Seba Veron has a 360 degree spin on the ball, but i've only ever done it twice and I have no idea how, because most of the time he just shimmies.

I use my playstion pad on PC, (my right stick works but it is not my skill button)The START is my skill button,
START was your skill button before, now u r using right analog stick. How did u change that?

 

[marc_angelus]

i can still use start plus a direction on the left stick for skills if i want, but i don't have to hold start to use the skills on the right stick, but both ways work. I'm using the ntpad xp 2.01 driver from www.aldostools.com. I have the right stick mapped to the rX and rY axis which I assume is what Fifa looks for.

 

[nikeportugal]

so does ea just assume we don't have right analog sticks on the pc so it doesn't support the right analog special move thingy?? That would suck if it's true.. I know that I have a thrustmaster Dual Analog Power 2 gamepad.. and I get NO right analog stick special moves.. and NO force feedback??!!

What the hell.

 

[marc_angelus]

well from my previous message it's evident that they haven't assumed pc owners don't have a right analog stick, because mine works.

It doesn't seem to be widely supported though, I would assume that the joypads listed in their config file should all be compatible but I know for a fact that at least one isn't, as someone posted earlier in this topic about their PS pad adapter not working properly with fifa despite it being in the config.

If you have the option to remap your axis, then try setting your right analog stick to RX and RY, this is what i'm using and it works. I don't remember the name of the third axis type (currently assigned to my D-PAD) but i think it's ZX and ZY.

I figured out the right analog stick stuff last night.. who would have thought they'd map the right analog stick? nice one EA!!

I also worked out how to score from crosses, so now i'm just one step away from knowing how to do everything i need to have a basic mastery of the game..

Anyone know how to defend corners? If i use the header button, my keeper runs out of his goal because it's also the keeper rush button. And the other buttons dont seem to do anything. The only clearing that i've ever done from in the box seems to be done automatically by my defenders!!

I have two Pads. A WIngman Rumble Pad and a dual analog PSX Pad with a PSX-USB adapter. The PSX pad has nothing mapped to the right analog, and the default WInXP drivers for it don't let u map anything, though they let you test the button presses of all the controls. My WIngman Rumblepad seems to have the right analog mapped, though it doesn't seem to work in game evrytime I use it. If I stand still and press down/up, the player moves in that direction while kicking the ball, kinda like a short speed bust while kciking the ball slightly forward. This works 100% of the time. However, the other directions do not do anything except in certain instances when I am attacked by a defender, sometimes the player does a leg fake, sometimes a 180 and sometimes nothing, he gets the ball stolen. I thought maybe the computer just did dribble moves for you sometimes or with certain players, but when I do not wiggle the right analog, they never do anymoves so I can confirm that the right stick does do dribble moves somewhat. With your pad marc, does your dribbling happen all the time or only in certain instances? And do you get rumble in the game because I don't, only at the start of the game, my pad rumbles at the first screen, after that I get no rumble. DO your dribbling tactics work 100% of the time or only in certain situation. Like if y ou stand still and hit a certain direction, does your player do dribble moves because mine doesn't. It's only if you encounter a defender or you are being attacked that it "SOmetimes" works though certain players it happens more times than others.

Also, what happened to the arrows for taking Goal Kicks/Corner Kicks?? How can you place the ball when taking corner kicks if there is no directional arrow? And anyone know how to spin the ball????
