am i imagining it or have the controls for hypersports and track and field changed? i though they used to be on the buttons but now i have to use the joystick ( especially difficult on clay pigeon shooting)
No you're right, they've changed. After some experimentation I decided that the joystick was the best option. The only drawback being, as you've pointed out, the clay pigeon shooting.
The controls were previously back to front in "normal" rotation, with B doing the right and A doing the left. Also using the select button for some events is really inconvenient, as on BLU units it can turn the light off if held for too long.
Personally I was quite happy with the changes (apart from clay pigeon shooting), as it means you can play in vertical rotation with the joystick and the start button. And I've got some pretty impressive results in any running events. In Track & Field (Hypersports sister ROM) I have for the 1st time (in any port of this game) gone under 10 seconds on the 100m.
If everyone hates the changes though, then they can be changed to something else.
