Re: Recognizing GamePad Controller in EA Sports PGA Tour 2023

EA app.  Logitech Rumblepad2 with latest drivers from Logitech  website

Will the Logitech f310 controller be supported?

I did that.  Nothing. It is fine and working in Windows as well as the Logitech software.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions............I am operating game thru steam client.   Do not know how to check/update driver for my Saitek/Cyborg GamePad  (I think it was originally intended for PS 1 or 2 .......but was supposed to also work with PC's.

Steam seems to have 'injected itself' into my issue and is (somehow) recognizing my gamepad!!  and I can use it while playing EA Sports PGA Tour 2023!

I use an Xbox controller on PC and even though it detects the input, the keyboard/mouse input is also detected simultaneously. This causes weird interactions within the menu/in game. Usually when a PC game detects controller input, it will 'hide' the mouse cursor preventing it from interacting with anything on the screen. 

Do you have Steam running in the background? I have found that when Steam is running and minimized I get controller issues in anything run through EA app where it keeps trying to switch to KBM. It's happened with Madden, FIFA, and now PGA. Exiting Steam fixes it for me.

Thank you for this - closing steam fixed this for me - was driving me nuts.  

Still no Controller support.  How am I supposed to play this game?  I think I will ask for refund. 

I have similar issues with my Razer Controller for Xbox. The game starts off recognizing it’s a ‘PlayStation’ controller and when I move, you see it switch to Xbox inputs. This won’t fully fix until I unplug>plug it back in. 
heres the kicker though - when I try to play online, the game REFUSES to acknowledge the Razer game pad at all and forced MNK. What’s also worse, we have to use the EA overlay and cannot invite friends via Steam. I turned the overlay off as this fixed similar issues in the past but is required to play online. 

interestingly enough, the controller works fine offline after the initial unplug > plug back in step mentioned above. 

I tell you , EA devs never cease to amaze me. 

Steam client

Razer Wolverine v2 for XBOX and PC

Windows 11

All up to date drivers and software

EDIT: Forgot to mention the same thing happens with the EA app as well as I had the free trial before getting it on steam. 

EDITEDIT: Attached is the DxDiag. Enjoy.

I have the same exact controller with the exact issues and no response from ea at all..

Check out the 75 page FIFA 23 forum post reporting the same issue. This isn’t going to get fixed and is clearly an EA issue https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Controller-not-working-pc-fifa-23/td-p/11857309/page/75

Based on what ive seen and how this game is being handled, i agree that this issue is probably going to go the wayward. I have already requested a refund and have been lurking and waiting to see if there are any developments to all the issues being reported. I know (better than most) that issues take time to be fixed so thats why im waiting before i even consider repurchasing this title.

My review on steam reflects this sentiment - this game and its pricetag are not justified and unfortunately will set a nasty precedent for future titles from EA and other developers. This game was clearly not ready to be released.

Mods/whoever, is there anything else that i can provide to assist? ive already provided a dxdiag with some steps to reproduce. I even went as far to delete the razor drivers and software, and it still failed to fully recognize the controller when it came to online play. To elaborate further, when i joined a friend OR i invited a friend to a private match, i had to use the MnK to do so, because the ea overlay doesn't understand how to use a controller (please see how UBISOFT handles this as they can do both controller and MnK). Once im in the lobby, i use my controller to reset the view so it shows im on a controller. I spam triggers and bumpers so that the view changes to settings and whatnot to confirm it has the controller. Once the game loads, the controller is rendered useless and the view shows MnK controls on tee off. No amount of unplugging/plugging back in will fix it as the game REFUSES to acknowledge that i even have a controller input.

So far everything is working as it should, but there are some bugs that need to be worked on like the green grid readings are way off on most courses.. but I hear a fix is coming. I was having issues using my controller when playing with others online. Well it turns out that my razer taurus game pad was causing the issue, well disconnected it and all is great.. Haven't had much crashing or anything in the last 2 days...

Disconnect any other game pad devices, I have a razer game keypad and it was the cause of my problem at that time.. I'm on a whole new set of issues.. career was erased after last update..... pissed off as holy hell

No I just want my character career fixed, can that be possible. Another question if it can't be fixed. If I delete the character will I get the skill points back to create a new character.. I have not done it.. just asking 

Yes, I am playing the game via the EA Play trial and I stopped trying to play it a few weeks ago. Tried again tonight to see if it was finally fixed and I am still having the same exact issue with my Xbox controller on PC. It shows Playstation buttons on the UI unless I am holding an input on the Xbox controller. As soon as I let go it goes back to showing PS buttons. It is hard to navigate menus because of this and I have not even gotten to try the gameplay.

Try unplugging any additional game pads, peripherals. I have a razer game pad that was the problem. Haven't had the issue since.. now my characters career modes was removed or something. I can only get to the selection screen for what class to play. Nothing after that.. anyways  hope that helped

I have the same issue as @iMakeitLookGood 

I have a Razer Wolverine Ultimate for XBox. The game shows PS5 iconography, until the gamepad is given some kind of input, then it changes to XBox whilst depressing that input. When you release, it goes back to PS5 icons.

If I'm offline, unplugging/plugging back in fixes it for that session, but it will happen again next time I play. If I do it while online (or even before I go online), the game doesn't recognize any input from the controller at all.

If I leave it with the PS5 iconography, I can play online, but the controller doesn't act right. For starters, the triggers are flipped. RT functions like LT and vice versa. Navigating the menus (like trying to change settings and apply them) is next to impossible because the game seems to be receiving double or conflicting inputs from the controller. I have to make changes with kb/m.

It can be worked around, but it's far from optimal.

You have something connected that is making your controller come in as playstation. I had that same problem and unplugged a few things and boom. All good... 

I have a Razer Orbweaver keypad, maybe that is causing my issue. I have never had this issue before though and it would be very frustrating if I needed to unplug it from behind my PC each time I play this game. It is just an extension of my keyboard essentially, with custom keybinds, but maybe the drivers or Razer Synapse interfere with the game. Like I've said no other game have I ever had this happen so it is not worth it to me to have to unplug it just for this.

Yeah it definitely is, I had that issue with mine.
