Do the Dualshock 2 analog sticks register more than 2 degrees of pressure?

Just as a reminder: This topic isn't about whether or not you have a problem with the Dualshock 2 controller, I am asking if someone knows about any games that register more than two degrees of pressure on the analog sticks to clarify if the Dualshock 2 is even capable of that.

Is it ok to whine about the times I wanted to run and the game registered as I was pressing L3? The thing is that the analog must be very far from the center to run and when you push it a little harder than normal you usually press L3 as you run. The problem is more common with older controllers (the more you play the more the sticks loosen up). It is pretty annoying in the heat of the battle. In Bully, for example, L3 would make you look back. So whenever I was running away from someone I would press it a little harder and the character would look back and made me crash into a wall.

Well, I do that on the 360 controller all the time when playing Halo 3 and trying to snipe.  I go to move the stick quickly, as the target is moving, and I zoom in, or zoom out.  I don't think that it's a problem with the controller, but moreso a problem with not being able to properly convey what you actually want to do to your thumbs.  Cause if it's the controller's fault, then the 360 controller sucks.
