BioWare add more analog stick dead zone for console players?

Why? Deadzone make you less accurate.

I am somewhat confused on what's going on. I did try my ps4 controller while playing the game on my PC, and my god the pin point accuracy is awful. When zoomed in moving it feels like cement. I don't think that is the dead zone though.

That's what I was saying.

It's how much you have to move the analog stick until it actually even begins to respond on screen. The more you have to move an analog stick to even begin moving, the bigger the dead zone. That's why it's called a dead zone, because nothing happens in game within a certain range of analog stick motion. And this dead zone issue is why it's so much harder to aim in MEA VS ME3.

I hear the X-Bone Elite controller has a dead zone adjuster, but I don't think that will work on my PS4. And I honestly have zero hopes for BioWare fixing this issue, so... I might just have to buy an X-Bone tomorrow and start all over in MEAmp. Buying a PS4 over X-Bone for MEA was a big mistake I'm constantly reminded of, and this is the final straw that broke me. If I can't aim at my best in MEA, then what's the point of even playing MEA.

If only my current rig could handle MEA, but I would still play it with a controller. Mouse and key aiming will never be my thing. Why it took until ME3mp got a controller mod for me to finally switch over to pc.

I do own a x-bone controller as well. I may give it a shot because I get tired sometimes of always having my hand on mouse and keyboard. Sometimes I prefer them on my lap with a controller.

Same concept. I prefer a computer chair and desk, but yeah, same point. 

I cant say ive had a problem on PS4, but I guess I have just adapted to the controls. Ive had a few friends say that the controls "felt a little off" but couldnt place why - the deadzone issue is is likely the reason.


In a twitch shooter it would be much more of a problem, but I tend to be slower and more methodical in mass effect - line up shots whilst still behind cover etc.

That's my problem too. I can aim fine in ME3mp (in particular with X-Box 360 controller. Never reached same aiming levels with Sony ones), but with MEAmp it's like I've just started playing shooter videogames for the first time.

Well not enough people are complaining about it, so we better get used to it or look to other solutions (X-Bone Elite controller for me. I'm sure someone will come with a mod fix for pc players). 

Lets not start a console war, we will both lose to the PC master race! Its like arguing over whose farts smell the nicest.

If its a software issue, then surely the change in peripherals wont make a difference? Unless xbox ones mass effect got a patch to incorporate it, adjusting the deadzone will only affect your input into the game, which still might not affect how the game interprets it. On other games on the PS4 for example, there is no deadzone issue, you can improve its sensitivity perhaps on those games due to the way they handle input. For example, using your xbox elite controller can improve deadzone on call of duty, because the game doesnt limit what you input other than trigger pull ROF.

It seems to me that in a game which actually feels like your input is lagging slightly because it limits your responsiveness - the other controller can only improve the information sent to the game, not what your game does with it.

I could be wrong.

Can't stand the PS4 controller for sniping. Horrible.
