Hi,
I used to be one of the top players in the whole of the Pro Evolution 5 online leagues (rank 16). But now since I'm using a 360 I can't seem to do anything at all.

Why the hell did they move the black and white buttons? Now all that happens is I press the shoulder buttons to run and they get caught on other buttons and it all goes **** up, my players just stop running becuase i'm cancelling them out. It's horrible.

Also, why is it that if you loose a ball when you in attack, the opposing teams defender can just through ball it straight to their striker who's ALWAYS through on goal? This game is really frustrating me, unless I've just magically lost all my ability overnight
 
Must agree with the black and white buttons being moved.

On Tiger Woods 05 on the xbox I could get some mad boost using those buttons but now on 06 its hard to tap the top buttons as quick.

Really frustrating.

Other than that I love the 360 controller
 
on the old xbox controller i never used the black and white buttons lol but now i use the top two on the 360 controller, so much better imo :D
 
You will be in the minority I'm afraid.

MS got criticised for having the black and white buttons where they were on the Xbox pads. They are now in a far more sensible position on the bumpers, and I've had no problems whatsoever playing PES.
 
Is the OP talking about the original Xbox controller, or the S-controller? The black/white buttons were in different places on each of those of course.

I assumed the S-pad?

Either way, on both Xbox controllers the B&W buttons were in stupid places.
 
awwww diddums :p you'll get use to it again any way so stop stressing out took u a while to get hang of the S-controller i expect and a while to get use to mouse n keyboard
 
Must say that I prefer the Xbox 360 controller to either of the Xbox controllers and I never catch any other buttons when playing.
 
Apart from the game mentioned above thats the only reason I miss the black and white buttons. I think it was a good idea over all to move them to the top.

I've only used the S-pad but I agree, the black and white buttons are in a fairly awkward place. I can't say whether I'd find the 360 controller better as I haven't used one yet :) It sounds like it's more PS2-like re the shoulder buttons.

Boost in Tiger Woods 05?

WTF!?!

When you pull your swing back tap either the black or white (can't remember which one now). The white ball in the bottom right should fill up red then swing forward as normal.
 
I think the 360 Controller is the most comfortable and perfectly weighted controller i have used ever.

Repeatedly press the left bumper button while performing the swing.

Have to agree that it makes life harder in Tiger Woods, but a lot bettere in everything else, including PES. I didnt mind the position of the black and white buttons too much as most games didnt use them as primary functions but when they did (ie PES) it ruined gameplay.
 
Hmmm... sounds like more of a problem with fat fingers than the control pad itself :p

The black and white buttons weren't in a natural place to just press them and be confident that you will hit the right one.
