While waiting for 2k6 to get into my area, I picked up a copy of 2k5 for the xbox for 6 bucks. In all other games, I use the D pad to control my players. For some reason, in 2k5 I have to use the left stick to move the player. I even tried all of the controller configurations. Is there a way to use the D pad to move your player in 2k5?

Wouldn't surprise me if you couldn't, as the sticks are analog while the D-pad is digital, and so they may simply have not coded a digital path for moving the character. Moving the character would be much smoother using the analog sticks.
