I've been doing a bunch of research and both of those games are configured to accept analog sticks and digtial buttons. No it doesn’t both Madden and GTA hate this controller.

Madden and GTA:San Andreas both have this issue for me that they can't detect analog triggers because they register as an Axis rather than as buttons. Need for Speed & Halo both detected them properly. So I'm left to having 2 gamepads attached for the time being or swapping cables. Niethe of those options does much for me but c'est la vie.

That or just download the december release of DX 9.0c which contains the same file. Interested to know if that clears it up. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0e989b12-576b-42f2-b7c1-2a17ce25188b&DisplayLang=en

It really hates Madden as Madden just won't recgonize the analog triggers as buttons and I really can't come to a solution so far. On the other hand it works very well with Need for Speed, GTA and Halo which is nice because i couldn't stand my old logitech pads for driving. Hopefully EA and or Microsoft or someone will have a solution out in time. Actually I picked up the controller as it was already in the mail when this column went out.
