The Dreamcast's d-pad is perfectly decent. Not as good as the SNES, Genesis 6-button, Saturn, or N64 Dpads, sure, but still, it's good. Better than the Playstation controller's dpad of course, though that doesn't take much, and better than the GC ones as well. About even with the Xbox really, both have good dpads that are a little small, so they aren't quite as good as the ones I listed above, but still are quite solid pads.
Still, it is too bad that the DC had a downgrade in buttons (the removal of C and Z, which really were needed considering the DC has too few buttons) and dpad (size, quality, feel) from the Saturn 3D Controller, why did you do that, Sega? But yeah, it's not bad.
