Try this it worked for me . After trying logitech, thrustmaste and saitec
and having them all lose calibration(tho Saitec was the best) I went to
Radio Shack . They had a device(USB) that allows you to use a PS controller
Costs about $10 bucks. Worked fine Can use all bottons.

I tried that with Madden 2004 and it didn't work. This is my 3rd
controller for the last two series. I only bought these gamepads for
Madden as I don't need them for anything else. My Thrustmaster worked
with 2004, but none will work with 2005. This game is defective. I
wish I could get a refund!

Thanks,
