What did you post that for? Tennis and hockey games are notoriously hard on the left stick as it is CONSTANTLY being used while play is going on and usually in harsh back & forth motions to get from one side of the court (ice) to the other. Not even FPS games like Halo are as harsh as you're usually using the left stick more smoothly as you move. I'm sure that I had a few controllers "die" on me as a result of Top Spin. I eventually bought a new controller that I used only for all other games. A typical example would be while using the controller in an FPS, I could travel at normal speeds in most directions but forward (or one of the cardinal directions) would be at a snail's pace.

That actually surprised me, I didn't expect to like it so much. So I am looking forward to this game, but... I never got Top Spin 2 despite seeing it in used bins for reasonable prices. The main reason is that I went through way too many controllers using the first game. I think this game and hockey games are the hardest on controllers... or at least the left analogue stick. It's constantly in use and that wears on it until it doesn't respond correctly. So... until I can fork over another $50 for another controller, I probably won't get this game. This is, in effect, a $110 game for me.[/quote] or you could just take care of your equipment. [quote comment="20757"]I played the hell out of Top Spin one.
