EA SPORTS FC™ TeamIt seems since the last patch in the game had gotten awful at recognising my pedals. Yes I have the updated driver for TM, I’ve reinstalled it numerous times following the correct procedure. I’ve also reinstalled the game today clearing all F122 files on my machine along with all the TM files but I’m getting the same issue.
My wheel won’t work when booting up the game on PC while TLCM pedals are plugged in via USB, I take them out and my wheel works. I plug them in and my game crashes, I have the latest install/firmware/drivers for TM-PC which is the 1.TTRS.2022 with firmware 13.00 and driver 2.10.87.0.
I’m at a loss what I can do now, I’ve followed all the guides and troubleshooted as much as I can. I have this issue with no other game and I find it frustrating that it’s as simple as having 2 USBs plugged in.
I also have no other controllers installed. Any help would be appreciated.

@Kelevra-LFCI have a similar issue. The game will not recognize my wheelbase if I have the TLCMs connected via USB. I can start the game w/ just the wheelbase plugged in and can actually play for about 10-15 minutes if I plug the TLCMS after getting to the menu but they eventually stop working and I have to keep unplugging and replugging to get them to work. The game finds both peripherals even before replugging as I confirmed it by connecting my Xbox controller via bluetooth. I have the most recent TM driver package also.
I am starting to think that this really is an issue with the Thrustmaster firmware.
If you follow my recommendations in the post above about the wheel mode and feedback your experience along with details of your wheelbase (you don't say it is TS-PC but you use T-LCM - I digress, but this is exactly why EA are wrong not to have people post dxdiags and do proper bug reports @EA_Kent )
What I think is happening is that any wheelbase cannot detect the RJ-12 pedals until they have the updated firmware. The issue is stemming from the fact you don't use RJ-12 pedals.
I believe on TS-PC firmware v11 that the RJ-12 port is still able to detect an input from any pedalset. However, as it is not 'forced detecting' the pedalset, the axis stays at zero and the axis from the USB pedals is unimpaired.
FYI - I customise the wheelbase control schema with inputs from my USB pedals (G923 with LeoBodnar USB), it is not configured as a separate device. I am forced to do this, otherwise I get a controller not recognised message in-game (all F1 games exhibit this AFAIK).
What happens if you unbind the pedal controls on the wheelbase? (If you can successfully unbind this would be interesting - I suspect you will get the 'You can only map menu controls for devices that have no preset control scheme.' error.)
I have other older firmwares available for all wheelbases. Downgrades are possible as above.
So instead, what I think is now happening is that the newer driver does include detection of that axis in the driver but only with the newer firmware. So the game detects not only the unused wheelbase axis but the USB pedal axis as well and becomes confused, crashing the game, sending the USB bus into overdrive and / or making the USB pedals useless // conflicting.

T-LCM_RJ12-pedal_set_mode_detection.pdf (thrustmaster.com)
I suggest switching the TS-PC to non T-LCM mode, basically if the LED flashes 10 times when you power on the TS-PC it is expecting T-LCM via RJ-12 pedals.
Attaching T-LCM by RJ-12 is auto switching, but the reverse is not. If you unplug them, you need to reset the wheel mode.
A workaround is to use the T-LCM via RJ-12 until you sort that out.
If there are still issues, there is possibly an issue with your physical USB setup or the USB / chipset drivers in software.
I use USB pedals without issue with the TS-PC, but I don't have T-LCM and the wheel resets to standard mode when using the Ferrari F1 rim when using a firmware higher than v11.
v11 firmware is possible with 2020_TTRS_2 here but then driver 2022_TTRS_1 must be used with the T-LCM according to Thrustmaster.
I'm still convinced v12 and v13 are buggy firmwares, so if you want to try v11 and feedback, I'd be grateful. You don't say which wheel rim you have but the TM Open Wheel is the default for the TS-PC (which I don't have as I bought servo base only), no?
