when i went into "options" next to "xbox controller", all i did was change the pull down option (highlighted in dark pink) to "xbox 360 controller". it was originally on dualshock 3 controller

That cant be correct. Button 1 on the ps3 and xbox controller is the x/A button. Button 1 on logitech dual action button 1 on madden is square. so u have to remap the buttons. if i dont remap the buttons the menu buttons in madden are all messed up. send me a screenshot of ur xinput window.

Being a bit curious about all of this, after seeing the Snakebyte PS3 compatible controller with rumble for under $12 at Wal-Mart I decided to get it.

XP saw it as a "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller", and after a bit of fiddling, so did Vista.
The bad news is that the buttons are not 4-3-2-1 but the generic 1-2-3-4. :cry:

Even though Windows detects the controller and allows me to read the buttons and sticks,
whatever MotioninJoy is using to detect a PS3 controller is not satisfied
for it displays "Waiting for controller to be connected." no matter what Windows thinks.

So apparently I got lucky with the GameStop PS3 controller working so well with Madden PC,
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4521&start=30#p21149
because this Snakebyte might only be good to use with the console emulators where I can remap buttons
and hopefully I can somehow get the rumble function to activate.

It was only $12, I figure I can get some use out of it somehow.
