D-Pad sucks partly because the active region is limited to the "plus sign" shape. Imagine a big circle cut into quadrants like the X-Men logo. No reason to be limited to the visual representation, it's like when you're dragging a scrollbar in Windows or OS X, the cursor can go way out of the "channel" and it's fine.

I'd think a simple rubber band with appropriate cut-thru holes would suffice as the most basic interface - no press feedback but at least tactile guidance for positioning that could be easy to DIY too @ derek – ya I second that.
