    Left stick pop/lock/electric boogaloo


    I've got to admit I was 50/50 on the XB/PS thing this time around, but loyalty kept me with Microsoft.

    But your pad's left stick is awful. You know it, we all know it and someone has seriously dropped the ball with the design and construction. The 360 pad could take years of abuse, this one can barely take a few hours of FIFA. I'm about to return my
    third pad for a fourth, for the same fault. The left stick begins to stick, grind and pop, and something is rattling inside the controller itself.

    Are MS working on a more robust replacement for 2015? That's all I need to know before I get a PS instead.

    :)

    Mature Rated Action Adventure RPGs on Xbox One...

    Im sure the Elder Scrolls 6: Electric Boogaloo and Fallout 4: New America are in the works as well. Unless you are talking real mature games, that push the M rating beyond Blood, gore, violence, and Language.

    Hi there

    I have the same issue. My day one controllers left sick got 'stuck' in one direction while playing FIFA15 so I ordered a new one and literally within a week the new one is the same. My son says that I press too hard on it, but as you say I didn't have a
    problem with the 2 xbox360 controllers we still have and use.

    I've just spoke to an advisor on chat and they said to send it back which I'm going to do.

    Does anyone know if they are making a more robust controller ? I don't fancy sending untold controllers back or having to lay out £50 for a new controller every few months. Otherwise I'll be buying a PS4 !!!

    I use manual shooting on Fifa so one time in five I'm punting the ball into some bloke's pie in the upper stand through no fault of my own.

    The route to go seems to be 'send it back and we'll eventually send another', break and repeat.

    Gentle use seems to suit them fine, seems to be the FIFA and Madden players with the most problems. Small mercy we're not getting Streetfighter or there'd be an unfair online advantage for everyone who can afford to buy a new pad per special move. It'd be
    like a status symbol; 'whoa that dude just used Hadoken, he must be loaded.'
