Why do old PS1/PS2 controllers have gross analog sticks?

There was an argument with my friends back then on whether the analog is best suited for playing racing games or the other button. 

What's your take on it?

As for racing games, I'm very sure that the use of analog would be the best fix but I'm not sure about soccer games.

Yeah, for racing games, analogs does a perfect job for me. But as for football games, they never work at all. I get my direction wrong completely.

I've noticed that with one of my PS2 controllers, both analog sticks look and feel a bit sticky to the touch (no pun intended).. I'm not entirely sure why, I don't remember leaving it like that. I did wonder if there was some kind of chemical reaction going on, but then it would likely be happening with other controllers too.

I keep meaning to try and clean it, but haven't got around to it yet.. 😆

It's something that has got to do with the material that's used to make the console controller. It's not the same quality with what we have in PS5 console controller now.

That's why change remains constant. Now we have one of the best controllers via the latest video game consoles. Don't be surprised that, in the future like in the next 10 years or 20 years. PS5 controllers will become outdated as well.

Yeah, there is a possibility of such happening as long as the company keeps producing new consoles.
