lol, ok then.
The game was made for the Dual Shock 2, and ported over to the Xbox pad which as you've just said yourself was already "flawed". The game was never designed to run on the 360 pad, evident because you still can't assign buttons properly and have to use the left-trigger to change man. If you are able to use it and play well then fine, but I can't, yet I have no problem with the DS2 pad so it's not a matter of me being "shite" it's because I can't get used to playing it on that pad.
And yes, roll on next year when they will hopefully design the game to work with the pad properly in the first place. Analogue triggers for changing man indeed...
