    Hi,

    I have the same problem with the EA App, I have an EA Play subscription.

    The controller doesn't work correctly when I use it in wireless mode.

    I have a new Microsoft XBox Controller purchased on november 2022.

    So yesterday I tried this steps:
    - uninstall EA app

    - download older Origin App from the web (you can find it easily searching on Google)

    - Install older Origin App and sync the games (the app do it)

    ... and IT WORKS!!!!

    Now the controller works like a charm (IN WIRELESS MODE!!)

    I hope my answer is helpful.

I understand how this would work. 

However, As EA is replacing Origin with the EA App the issue will come back. 

I am unable to play FIFA 23 currently as when I open this through EA App it doesn't pick up the controller that is connected and thinks I'm playing on Mouse & Keyboard.

Apex however, works fine with the controller. 

I have just done an update to EA App which uninstalled the Origin client.

Normally for Fifa I would have to open Origin via Steam in order to use my controller on FIfa 23.
