I see a lot of people's replays on trials hd using the d-pad ( in the replay the joystick moves faster and less fluid, and I've tested the d-pad and got the same results. ) What is the difference?

As far as i know (someone can correct me if I'm wrong), the d-pad is not analog so it is all or nothing. You can't lean a little using the d-pad. That's why the stick probably looks like it moves faster in the replays. It is similar to the RT and the A button. You can feather the gas using RT, but if you use the A button, it is either at full throttle, or no throttle.
Using the stick and the RT probably gives the player the most control though what people actually use will vary. Personally, I use a weird hybrid of stick, RT, LT, A, and X all depending on the obstacle, but I don't ever use the d-pad.
^^He speaks the truth about the diffentce. I suggest with going with what's comfortable. I personally only use the analog, RT and LT never anything else. I didn't even know you could use the D-Pad, A or X until a couple months after I started playing.
D-Pad FTW
D-Pad on HD but for some reason I needed to relearn the stick on Evo. The D-Pad just wasn't the same. I don't have one of those better dpad changable pads though. If I get a new pad soon I'll go back to D-Pad for sure.
D-pad on beginner tracks, Analog stick on anywhere else.
I'll use the D-Pad if my controller's stick breaks. That's what I did in HD.
Analog all the Time Better Feeling for the Bike (Handling) and better grip 4 Ur Finger... Just Better all tha Way http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_mrgreen.gif

Euan is 7th in the world and he uses it so it is worth checking out.
