[quote name='Nukedude']I think that the the foam is actually attached to the bottom of the button, its not zippered and you cant replace the foam, but they do stay in place very well. It is definitely not a bad pad for people looking to play casually, and I say that unless your looking to perfect heavy mode I think it should suit most people perfectly fine.
I dont know how you can soft pads are worthless, obviously you have to start somewhere and I know i would have never played if i had to pay $40 to get the game and then a minimum of $100 for a decent ignition/hard pad.
To be truthful, i still havent outgrown soft pads, and ive been playing for nearly 2 years now, granted I'm just getting to the point I can do heavy songs ok.[/QUOTE]
Hell I've been playing for *counts on fingers* about 5 years now and I still don't own a pair of ignitions. Back in my day if you could do dead end on heavy, you were a GOD *shakes cane* I miss those days, I've never liked the way max steps were designed, it always seemed different from mixes previous. Always seemed harder too freestyle to.
