Hello,
I am writing in regards to the recent updates made to build mode for consoles (Feb 2023). After about a week of playing and trying out these new controls, I am finding it extremely frustrating and nearly impossible to build. Below are my biggest issues, however, it can all be summed up by saying that console is different from PC and there is a reason the controls were different. Before this most recent update, I thought the controls were intuitive and easy to use. I play on Xbox so all feedback is in regards to that.
1) Catalog staying open takes up so much of the screen and takes roughly 3 clicks to get out of it to move the camera around to zoom in/out.
2) Hitting LT (which is undo) brings up the search function every time, even when hitting undo 10 times.
3) Limited ability to use the stick to scroll through build items. Having to use the stick as a cursor is tedious and hard to do. The controller is not like a mouse
4) Additionally, in the build catalog, you are not able to highlight the item and see the different swatches and use the stick to look through them. You need to use the cursor to click on the tiniest little area to bring up the swatches and look through that way. For the most part, it is working in the buy catalog but that has some issues as well.
5) Buy catalog for the most part let's you use the stick to scroll through items and see swatches as it did before, however, sometimes it does not and I can't figure out when/why.
Best case scenario would be to revert controls back to the way they were but at the very least giving an option in settings to allow us to revert or change some of these new controls would be extremely appreciated. Thank you for taking out feedback and I sincerely hope you take this all into consideration as I am finding it too frustrating to play a game I have spent nearly $500 on.
