What do you think should be done to make console controls better?

The only way to make them perfect is to give the consoles a mouse and keyboard.

But, I like them the way they are, they work very well and i wouldn't change them (even for a mouse and keyboard)

D-Pads are as useful as a 5 1/4 floppy disks. Lose them and support arcade sticks better.

I would like to see some sort of trackball controller or something else that you can actually touch and get a very good range of real control from. (like a mouse)

i prefer console controllers, i cant stand mouse and keyboard. however if i could change one thing i would remove motion controls all together. for every game like heavenly sword that does motion control right there is about 100 that fuck it up entirely

I have a game that does that. Anyway, I think it depends on the type of game. Sports, racing, RPG's, and some third person games (like GTA) are better with console controls, but for FPS and strategy games, I need a mouse because analog sticks suck so much for those...

D-pads seem to have been relegated to "that set of XSquareTriangleCircle/ABXY on the other side of the pad" nowadays.

They need to make a controller with one of those rolly scrolly little mouse ball things in place of the right thumbstick. Would solve all problems ever.

You mean like those things at the bottom of old mouses?

I thinks it's a question of getting used to it.

I play FPSes way better on my xbox360 then on computer, simply because thats what i've done the most.

Other than the 360's horrible D pad the controllers are fine. It is how devs use them that is the problem.

Work on the basics, and stop with the dumb motion sensing gimmicks and such. That's my opinion.

I think controllers are fine as they are, and literally the only thing i'd like to change would be getting a better D-Pad on the 360 controller.
