I don't mind a combination of button pressing,it's just the fact that BR's are linked to the steering I find REALLY annoying.
Unintentional BR'ing at Phantom speed because of quick controller input
The amount of times in last nights Anzac V's France Avalon races that I went to quickly adjust my steering and ended up BR'ing into a wall or off the track drove me nuts.
If it didn't BR it attempted to and I lost shield energy with no boost,so when I did want to BR I couldn't for fear of blowing up.[a few previous contacts with other craft and your shields shot anyway]
Or unintentional BR's with sod all shield energy eliminating myself.
This problem seems to be more due to me using the D-Pad and that one of my controllers seems to be more sensitive to this that the other.
Either way it's a PITA
I envy you guys that can use the sticks,where I don't think you would suffer this to the same degree,I just can't get to grips with them.
