@EA_JasonMy son is having the same issue while playing the game. As soon as he exits the controller is fine. he has a genuine Series X controller. We have uninstalled the game, restarted etc. Can't think of what else to do

Having the exact same issue as described above.I just purchased a brand new xbox series x wireless controller to play fifa 22 today. The controller works fine when plugged in with the USB C cable for Windows 10. But when using the wireless/bluetooth connection. The joysticks spam all over the place in the menu making it impossible to do anything. This is definitely an error with the game, and not my controller. As in other games it works fine, and in the xbox accessories app, using the test function. All aspects of the controller work fine and as intended when showing the inputs. Needs to be a patch/hotfix asap.

@EA_Jason for me, having to plug a cable in it is the only way for it to work.

Same here,just bought a Xbox one controller, with cable it works fine but with Bluetooth it glitches all over the place, I have a 360 wireless controller it works fine,I think game has something to do with this.

Can't speak for everyone but I am also experiencing these problems with the x-box one controller. In my case, I am not using the official Bluetooth. while playing other games I don't have a problem with the controller, it is only on FIFA 22 that I am having this played 21 with PS4 controller and did not had this issue at all.

Xbox Series X wireless controller not working with FIFA 22.

Hi @levvvisb,

I believe that we have a similar thread about this on the forums and I'll merge it as soon as I can find it.

To go back to the problem that you are having, could you first let me know which controller you are using?

Some controllers are not natively supported by Windows and require third party program to run for example. For the official Xbox controller you can try a few things such as connecting the controller via cable or only using the official Bluetooth dongle for the controller (if you have one).

Are you both using the official Bluetooth dongle or the built-in Bluetooth on the motherboard or a third party Bluetooth dongle?

@Noob00Dub When you play via a cable, does it work fine?

@EA_Jason Nope on this occasion isn't still not working via cable, and we have tried a new controller too, the game still isn't working.
