Best controller to use with the game??

What's the best controller to use with MVP 05?

I'm currently using a Saitek P880 that I was using with MVP 04. But I'm seeing that when I use the right analog stick in 05, the runners don't slide how I want them to and the fielders don't dive right.

Do I need a different controller or is there a configuation issue?

Try to reconfigure your controller by making changes in controller.cfg (located in you user files folder). I got Saitek's P2500 gamepad, which is basically the same as yours except for the rumble feature, and everything works fine with it.

I have the exact same problem with the p880. I've tried configuring it and messing around with it. I might go for one of those controllers with the fan.

Are any controllers compatible with MVP 05? Can't you get some sort of controller hack, so that you can use any controller?

I've been using the P880 since MVP2004. The only issue I had is that the default right stick functionality for slides is reversed for the P880 in the controller.cfg file (in your My Documents MVP Baseball 2005 folder). Using the default settings, pushing up gives you a feetfirst slide and pushing down gives you a headfirst slide. Pushing left has you slide to the outside of the bag and pushing right has you slide to the inside of the bag.

If you modify your controller config. file with the following settings, it will make the slide controls work properly (up = headfirst, down = feetfirst, left = inside the bag, right = outside the bag):

VPAD_VIRTUAL_BUTTON_R_STICK_RIGHT= axis- 4

VPAD_VIRTUAL_BUTTON_R_STICK_LEFT= axis+ 4

VPAD_VIRTUAL_BUTTON_R_STICK_UP= axis+ 3

VPAD_VIRTUAL_BUTTON_R_STICK_DOWN= axis- 3

Hope this helps.

Re-read my entire post. I mentioned where the controller.cfg file is (and I highlighted it in red in the quote above.

I'm likin my 360 controller, I don't mind the no rumble, but now I have a button clash. When I press pitch 3 on my controller (or button X) it brings up the lineup summary screen. Oh well.

i've had three different types of controllers: a saitek, a recoil, and a nyko airflo. and nyko airflo is by far the best controller i've ever played with. and it wasnt that expensive either. i got it at radio shack for $25.

There should be a way to edit that in the controller.cfg file.

This may be a dumb question, but how would I go about using my 360 controller on my PC? I have two wireless controllers for my 360 and I have the cord that you use to recharge the batteries. How do I use it on my PC?

Have a question -- converted PS2 user. I love the PS2 controller for the game -- is there a place to get a USB adapter for it? Please help ... thanks.

I got it from RadioShack (part number 26-304 and available on their web site), but of there are plenty of places for a PS2 usb adapter.

Question -- I have the Logitech Rumblepad 2 (excellent controller BTW), but two questions.

1) Can't get the rumble to work at all (help!)

2) When I press the 'start' button and go to the menu screen, I'm only able to click with the mouse. I want to use the controller for everything. Help!

Thank you in advance.
