Not so simple....::)
Not always, some games like crazy climber, battlezone, etc. use weird joysticks that can wobble back an forth if the grommets are broken, but the joystick will still work, unless the connector is unplugged or the ground wire is off. Don't assume that just because it wobbles that the problem is the joystick, as most will still send signals when the switches close. Of course, some joystick assemblies can't close switches if the housing is broken. So, the answer would be: It depends on the joystick....

If a joystick is all wobbly, and won't allow your player to move left, right and down, is it BROKEN?
Yes
No
:o

his question states that the joystick wobbles AND doesn't allow you to move to the left, right, or down..... Did Crazy Climber and Battlezone do that too?
I agree that it could be an interesting topic on joystick problems/repair....
Though Modessitt (and, is that an homage to the writer?) did give a good explanation of things, the general question (to this thread) begs: 'who cares?'.

A much better gauge of determining the status of the stick are expressed in the following two questions: 1. does it perform according design? 2. is that how you want it?
(I give credit to ZAKK for well-ly characterizing the two sticks.)
Now, see, I could jump all ova yo ass on this cos to me this would be a no-brainer. But, why would I do that?
I see at this moment that there are 25 "yes" votes. Please post how you voted. There's only 19 official members and obviously there's enough interest that a new membership drive needs to be donePerhaps the poll is broken? Hmm, nope, made by nintendo, so there's no way. Carry on.

When I do that, I'll let you know.

No, because that's not enough info to determine "broken". It could need simple maintenance. Plus, I don't consider the consumable parts (the switches) as something that would determine "broken" for the overall unit.
I knew Chad and maxim would get along.
=J
In general, an item needing a consumable part replaced is not said to be "broken" by real people in real conversations.
It's in a less than satisfactory, partially functional as manufacturer intended state with limited use potential on the world market.

By a margin of almost 10 to 1, real people that have real conversations disagree with you.

Obviously you don't know what is meant by "real conversations".
I already know how people talk in the real world, and it is not going to change any time soon.

Please, I beg of you. Stop this crazy merry-go-round before another poor defenseless post gets sent to hell. :cry: :cry:
Here comes the rationale that they're all part of the Drew Crew or simply mocking you *yawn*
You're talking to the wrong person. I'm not starting these topics, and I'm obviously not the one that mentioned me by name in this thread for no apparent reason either.

For someone so smart, you sure do rise to the bait so easily.
Here's a word of advice. Don't take it lightly.
Quit stressing when other people talk about you and don't rise to their bait. These sort of things either settle out or they end badly. Either way, it never ends with you, "winning," because there are no such thing as winners. There's no trophy, there's no cash prize, there's no job at the end of this discussion. There's only one thing that counts and it's information. The more you prove you know your ---Cleveland steamer---, the more respect you earn. You tell us you're smart? Mayhaps it's time to prove it.
Again, go and read, "Welcome to the Internet," by redpaw. Go look at the, "Flame Warriors," by reed. That is exactly what is happening here. If you don't, won't or can't recognize something that basic, then you have my pity.
Don't be silly, you have no chance
Sorry to hear about your Tracker shardian.
Chad and Maxim would make a cute couple.... couple of whats I'm not sure, but regardless
I don't go around here looking to start arguments

Possibles for your father? ;D
I have no idea what the context of this conversation is... I answered a yes or no question based on the face of what was contained within the question. :dunno If there's some context that involves a joystick that was sold, or MaximRecoil at all, I don't know about it.

Sorry to hear about your Tracker shardian.hehe. thanks.

Is that why you drudged up a 6 month old post to demand the OP explain why he thought Nintendo sticks suck? I would say thats STARTING a argument.
Go ahead and link to that so we can have the real content, rather than your dubious recollection of it.

It's a Tracker - put it in the basement and replace the windshield with an LCD, replace the engine with an Xbox. You'll get far better driving from it that way.
Man, I can't get rid of that thing. I love my tracker. It is fun to drive year-round. The dang thing just won't die, no matter how much I neglect it.
Since you mention that though, I remember playing Daytona USA inside of a real Nascar that had a video screen that replaced the windshield. That was sweet!

A friend of mine in HS had one of those. It was a chick magnet. Everywhere we went chicks would come up and ask for a ride. It didn't drive well and was hell in the harsh MA winter but we loved it because it got us chicks without even getting out of the car.

I'm sure if you insist - we can arrange something. Are you denying it?

Your summary is wrong. Like I said, go ahead and get the real post or posts if you can and then I'll give you a play-by-play. Here is a hint: there was nothing argumentative going on until remnants from the Wico vs. Nintendo joystick thread from a few days earlier came along with their two cents' worth, two cents that obviously couldn't buy them any reading comprehension ability.
You posted in an Markrvp's thread that hadn't been posted in for many months.What of it? It was the first time I'd seen the thread.
That is fact. But are you telling us there is a 3rd thread that you got post helled that we forgot about? I hope so.There was a thread a short time before that, where a guy posted a picture of a Wico with a rounded-out 4-way restrictor that was now an intermittent 8-way. I mentioned that such a thing would never happen with the Nintendo restrictor, and that turned into a big rigamaror. So I think that ended up getting "Post Helled", and then all the people I was arguing with on that thread simply continued where they left off when they saw the post on Markrvp's thread, even though I didn't post anything argumentative. They commonly do this. For a current example, look at the "Donkey Kong buttons" thread on the main page to see where both CheffoJeffo and Markrvp tried to continue arguing with me even though I didn't post anything argumentative.

Sorry, but a recollection from the guy who couldn't remember whom he compared to a mud fence only 10 minutes earlier ain't exactly reliable ...

*I* provided exactly the link that the OP asked for.
*I* offered to provide holders to the OP for free.
*You* posted pictures of your button collection.
QED and .... 13!

You posted after I did. And that was a picture from eBay; all of them complete for BIN of $18.
Isn't the Tracker a four-banger?
You obviously don't like the results of the poll, and want this PH'ed, just like every other thread you get going in. I'd appreciate it if you would quit your self-important chest thumping and take it elsewhere. Thanks.
Isn't the Tracker a four-banger?
Yeah, it's a tiny Jeep chick car. They dig it.
And they'd walk right up to it and go "ooooh, can I get a ride, no more seats that's fine I'll sit on someone's lap if my three friends can come too".
Now, see, I could jump all ova yo ass on this cos to me this would be a no-brainer. But, why would I do that?
Are you coming on to me?When I do that, I'll let you know.
Well... where I come from. The kind of girl that would ride in a car with stranger boys were the kind of girls I liked. I wish I had a time machine that was made out of a tracker. The only problem is I don't think a tracker can do 88mph.
You guys got it all wrong. Take the Tracker uphill and let the brakes go. It'll do 88MPH then.
Of course, you and the Tracker are going to have to take a running start from the next state to get up the hill.

LOL @ "stressing". Arguing is one of my favorite things to do. I don't go around here looking to start arguments, because this isn't a forum intended for that; but as long as I have a handy invite...
