Broke my 360 controller

x2, I hate how fragile they are

to me, the original xbox headsets were better than the 360 ones. i think i have one still. and they wouldnt break as easily, either.

For SwingStick 2.0 it says pull back then release for a regular hit, it doesn't do that, you always have to pull back for the step then push forward for the swing, which I **** at, havent scored a run yet, lol.

are you releasing or just pushing it back to center. cause those sticks are pressure sensitive. when you just release and let it go back on its own it does swing. just swing for the fence everytime haha just push forward. or push to the left or right to pull the ball. once you get the timing on that you can pretty much put the ball where you want and hit every gap. its fun frustrating guys online. they get really pissed when you learn how to paint the corners. haha

I m most definitely releasing it and nothing ever happens, I even searched online and found people on 2K sports forum saying you can't just release it, you have to push it forward.

you know whats funny is that i always just push forward to swing anyway but i was giving my opinion based on the couple times ive slipped and it swung. but now that i turn it on ur right just releasing it does nothing. but ive definately swung on accident before because my thumb slipped off and released it. maybe it has to do with the different difficulty settings or something?

i dont know

i love this game though. wish i had the extra cash to buy it. im stuck playing the 3 inning demo haha

yeah i broke one playing Skate.

there was some mission i had to do no joke like a hundred times, and i couldn't do it, and i threw my controller at my pillow. i try to throw my controllers onto something soft because i broke a couple SNES controllers back when i was younger, so when i got my 360 i didn't feel like paying 50 for a new controller. well i threw it into my pillow but it bounced right into the wall and put a huge crack in it.

i don't throw my controllers anymore i just yell lol

i think i broke my guitar hero guitar yesterday though, i was playing online and my red button wouldn't register sometimes, so i punched it where all the frets are, and they all stayed lit up. i just took it out and put my other one in. haven't checked to see if it still works yet.

Playing MLB 2K8, **** instruction manual is wrong about how to hit, so I kept trying and striking out and got pissed, threw controller and broke the left joystick. Has anyone else broken controllers while mad at a game?

nope, never broke something because i had a childish fit of rage
