PC USERS - Warning! Read this first - Controller information

Hi guys,

As you probably know, people had LOTS of problems with PC controllers in Madden 2004. After a long, long wait, I got an e-mail from tech support. The only controllers SUPPORTED BY EA SPORTS and guaranteed to work are:

- Logitech Dual Action gamepad / rumblepad / wireless rumblepad
- Gravis eliminator aftershock
- Thrustmaster Firestorm
- Logitech Wingman

ANY OTHER CONTROLLER, such as the Nostromo n45, n50, PS2 or XBOX controllers with a USB adapter, generic dual analog gamepads, etc. will NOT work properly.

OFF THE BALL CONTROL WILL REQUIRE A DUAL ANALOG GAMEPAD. Keyboard will NOT work.

As you probably suppose, this is VERY VERY LIKELY TO HAPPEN WITH FIFA 2004 too. So please consider buying one of these gamepads.

Don't say I didn't warn you. (Personally I reccomend the Logitech wireless rumblepad, it's great).

Regards,

José Alberto Bonilla Vera

As i said, keyboard won't work for OFF THE BALL Control, although you will be able to control every other feature with the keyboard.

Pfffft.. Why am I not supprised by this? Typical Ea sports fifa programers.
Firstly 2003 couldn't run smooth enough on the best of computers and Fifa 2004 will proberly be the same even though they clame they started the programing from scratch. Just like Micro$oft clamed that with windows xp and that proved to be BS.
2nd they exspect people to be able to afford a new controler!! Just for otb that proberly sucks anyway :f***:
Some people can barely afford the game as it is! Time for Aklame to take over Fifa games just like they did with the last 2 AFL Live games.
:f***: :rolleyes:

Keyboard shouldn't work with OTB, FIFA 2004 is a next generation football game, created with consoles in mind = gamepads. :)

That's what I believe anyway, and I think it will be very hard to execute an OTB move with keyboard anyway. :confused:
