It's 2023...games should be asking the user which controller they are using, and ignoring the ones not selected.
Almost every other game handles this issue perfectly fine without needing to unplug anything.
Thank you, yes I fully agree, this is exactly what it is about.
For me it sometimes feels a bit weird when there is such an issue that is clearly a lack of the game's ability to handle things properly, but as a user I am asked to unplug things each time before starting the game, doing BIOS upgrades and whatever (I'm an IT professional for decades, by the way). I very much appreciate all the support and responses I get here and I know it's a very tough job supporting "the mob" in a forum remotely. But what happens here is that the problem and the responsibility for the problem is just pushed over to the user.
Instead, I would expect EA to take responsibility for this issue themselves. They are the only ones who can resolve it for each and every single user, i.e. paying customer, of their software. And the issue I raised is not about "not working due to xyz individual PC config" that might be difficult to reproduce and handle. It is a simple and standard set of code EA would need to implement to avoid this hassle for everyone.
