I don't know about Fifa 07, but I know in Fifa 08 (which is apparently a LOT better btw) you can only use the analogue sticks as the d-pad is used for on-the-fly tactics.
I have 07 and its got d pad support for sure. In the control menus its know as new digital or classic digital depending on if you a want fifa or PES button layout.
FIFA is designed to be used with the sticks. I'm a d-pad man for Pro Evo, but I wouldn't even consider using the d-pad with FIFA even if I had the option to.
Oh right thats just made me regret buying this and also not getting Fifa 08, think I will have to look into Pro Evo instead.
Fifa 08 is excellent (from experience) and for me, leagues ahead of PES2008 in every department. With the addition of 5 v 5 online too, it only makes me believe it's even further ahead.
You go on a team with 4 other human players playing 1 specific position against a team of 5 other people. 6 players on your team (and theirs) are still A.I., but the potential is there. There were rumours of 10 vs 10 online in the new year, but I know a lot of people really enjoy playing 5 on 5.

Sounds good but I still want the D pad![]()
Just to clarify here you have 07 and not 08?
