Re: Playstation still has huge advantage over Xbox.

The only advantage I argue that ps players have over Xbox is the change view button.  On PS, which I played from 20-23, I had the big touchpad and could rapidly switch view using my right thumb while still controlling my player with the left.  On Xbox the change view is mapped to the tiny button next to the left thumb stuck, and this slight delay in loss of control makes a difference.  Most Xbox players I've played with don't even know about or use the change view and have argued with me that this not a factor.  I disagree.

    You can also hold down that button for a couple seconds to get a hybrid view that keeps your player and the puck on screen. I use the Zone camera and never have to change views. I definitely remember those days that I did though. Surprised that button didn't wear out.

    Wow I was completely unaware of this option.  I'll try it out, thanks.
