For FIFA players like T Bowl who will break whatever controller they touch, the PS4 controller will be a lot easier to deal with. Buying little rubber caps sounds better than mailing in broken controllers.

Neither of these issues should be happening. If your controllers are falling apart due to vigorous use within a year of launch then they are just defective, especially when their predecessors withstood the same punishment for years without falling apart.

I don't even get mad at the game, it literally just snaps from normal use and I don't think people here who don't play FIFA get how much you move the joystick rapidly with that game vs most others.

I have a Day One controller and FIFA and have no issues, but I also am not very good at FIFA so maybe that's why.

I'm to the point where I feel weird going into my local Walmart to replace it yet again. I purposely bought the extra controller there because I know how lax they are on their return policy and wouldn't be dicks about it like say.. Best Buy or somewhere could easily be.

I ended up paying $4 extra at Walmart too last time around for a 2 year replacement plan...

they probably laugh at your strong monkey hands when u leave lolol i would

Why is the Xbone pre-order system for digital games so loving terrible? I mean, it's not GREAT on PS4 either, but why can't I pre-order Halo? I kind of get not having something like WWE 2k15 up for pre-order, not a huge release, third party, yadda yadda. But Halo seems like they should let me give them my money whenever I loving choose to.

Wal-Mart started doing trade-ins as well a while ago, they might have a better deal.

Edit: But you're right that ebay is probably your best bet.

Exactly. It's super dumb the Xbox controllers still run on Duracell's. Sorry I'm not a console warrior that you wanted to burn :shobon:

The Dualshock 3 has the best battery. :allears: The Wii U Pro Controller is also pretty great in that regard, but I don't think it has rumble so that allows it a long life.

T Bowl: Again I already sent the controller in that came with the console. I purchased a second that I did not need at Walmart to keep playing
T Bowl: And I have now been back to Walmart multiple times because it keeps happening.
Arvin Z: We deeply understand that. No worries, we will make sure that the controller that you will be getting will be in good condition and working fine for FIFA>
Arvin Z: Still working on it T Bowl.
T Bowl: Ok thank you.
Arvin Z: Thank you for waiting T Bowl. For this, we have seen that the offer for your controller is for you to send your controller to us first before we can send the new/ replacement controller to you and that controller will be the one that will come directly from us.
T Bowl: Can I just return the whole xbox one to you guys and get my money back?

I just closed that chat at that point.

Person acted like they may be able to send out a new controller without me sending the broken one back first... then comes back to say nah never mind you still send it into us first please.

If the information is true then it'd be vertically-scaled, hardly a first in games but unusual for them to be upfront about it. I'd give it some weight given the amount of rumours about performance issues with Halo 2 running at 1080p60. Until more solid information appears I'd take it with a tiny bit of salt though.

Wonder if they'd use the method popularised by Killzone's devs.
