It has free play in the center when I'm not playing but once the game is loaded, I have resistance everywhere.

I always make sure to remove dead zones right away. Other than that, it is one of the very first wheels that went out on the market. So original drivers and hardware.

What game are you playing? I do agree that there is some on F1 Championship on PS3.

Also, I used to have a Logitech Driving Force, which had proper force feedback. But the G25 doesn't? Is it just the game or because it can't?

(By proper force feedback I mean so that if you say, hit a wall, it jerks around to tell you that you just have)

If it didn't, then everyone would flock back to the DFP wheel.

Trust me, it does have proper FFB and then some.

I'm playing TDU and LFS with it.

I tried the demo, but didn't like it. Yes the graphics are great, but the gameplay I found a little less than great. No, I haven't driven a real car (I've attempted, but my results were stalling) so that could halt my judgement.

I said PS3, not PC. Though I will be using it for PC soon enough.
