I must say, it is easier to not have them on the joysticks but we felt it was necessary for it to flow properly during matches.
As our driver, I like to drive, shoot, and collect. Our operator does catching so I don't have to worry about it. It seems to flow really well. I must also note that we're using an Xbox controller and a custom control box.
