Re: FC 25 controller wrong input game. Just only happen in fc 25

I had the same issue. Someone helped me on a discord chat. 
First of all, I’m on pc app not steam. When in game, the controller only worked on the menu’s and offline modes.

So, when you start the game and go into settings file you’ll see a shortcut with a keyboard command  (arrow) instead of an A. This means that the game is not recognizing your controller. If you press A on your controller and go straight into the game you’ll have the same issue. What I did was press the B button on my controller and the shortcut sign (an arrow) changed to the A sign. Only then did I press the A button to continue on into the game.

This worked for me. for some reason you can’t press the A button straight away.
hope it works for you.

My controller is working for couple of seconds in Rivals, after that there is some kind of microlag and my players stop responding. Have same issue last year many, many times. Coming and going by itself. Weird.

Hi guys, I managed to fix my controller issue... 🙂

Basically, if you have this kind of problem as me, that ABXY buttons are messed up and your controller is not mapped good that's because DirectInput that FC 25 has issues with... On some controllers you have switch that you turn left or right on the back of controllers with marks D and X... Mine controller don't have that option, so you need some program that would emulate that... In previous version of FC 24, Steam did that trick, but on FC 25 that is not the case.

So I looked and looked for solution and in the end I fixed the issue by installing XOutput from https://github.com/csutorasa/XOutput.

You will have to install that program and to configure all buttons manually on your controller (it doesn't map them automatically), in the end you will have a screen like in the screenshot I put.
After then you will play the game with correct mapping of buttons... No need to go over steam this time, just directly over EADesktop and that's it.

Thanks all for helping out, especially @IIIFANIII that direct me in what area should I look for solution.

@R0D1C Thank you very much, works fine. Really happy that you managed to solve it. Thank you again. 

sadly...i tried it ..did not work...without steam the game does not recognize my controller

I use ea app origin on pc.

@asemoassem22 If you do installation and configuration correctly on XOutput you can check in Steam on your Settings --> Controller that you now have 2 gamepad's that are recognized (See attached picture). So even if I have one controller plugged-in it's recognized as another one because of XOutput... that's the main goal of this emulator.

Same here!!! SOMEONE HELPPPP

Yes, where i click on the profile I want to use. 

controller doesnt work at all on the game

guys i found a solution u can try it works for me

try connect two of controllers if you have it then try to play just by second controller (modify the controls of second controller etc ...) then save the modifications then reconnect the primary controller and restart the game and use the second one. it works for me.

if this doesn't work try keeping the both of controllers connected and try playing just with the second one it works 100% without any problem

it's been 4 days since launch with no fix till now.....unacceptable

My controler is working , but it starts to jump up and down all over places . 
before I remember when I played the game my players would do involuntary movement and run wrong directions. Now EA bult this script and chaos in milestone, Squad Building changes, transfer market. Now the whole game is a big script and chaos . 
I ordered new controllers, the same problem. Now I’m going to order wired controller, but I don’t think it’s a controller problem.
