way back in the day, the playstation controllers used to look like this:
I remember when the first analog stick controllers came out and I hated using the analog even when playing sports games. It really wasn't until training for one of the madden challenges with sgibs, maybe sophomore year of college so around 2005, when the challenge was on xbox and the xbox controller had the analog and d-pad switched from the ps2 controllers.
I couldnt get my thumb used to being in the different position, and the d-pad on the xbox was awful, so I had to switch. I still think I like the d-pad better but at this point i'm already adjusted.
Whats funny now is when I play PS3 I use analog despite the fact that the stick is in that other spot.
