Controller does not work in Rivals and WL

Product: EA SPORTS FC 24
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. EA app - PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number Nvidia GeForce 2060
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16
Which mode has this happened in? Ultimate Team™
Which part of the mode? Rivals
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 01/01/2024
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 05:30 PM
What is your time zone? GMT (UTC)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a Rival or WL match on PC with controller.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can no longer control my players or give them instructions. The selected player just runs straight until he walks out of the screen. If the player is changed by the "auto-switch", the newly selected player also immediately starts to run straight ahead. There is no reaction to button inputs. Shot, pass, sprint, player movement etc. are not executed.
What should be happening instead? Controller should work

For about a month now, all my controllers have stopped working in Rival online mode and in WL on PC.

I can no longer control my players or give them instructions. The selected player just runs straight until he walks out of the screen.

If the player is changed by the "auto-switch", the newly selected player also immediately starts to run straight ahead.

There is no reaction to button inputs. Shot, pass, sprint, player movement etc. are not executed.

In the main menu or in the UT menu, the controller works without any problems.

But playing is impossible. I have already lost a lot of games due to the numerous tests...

I have already tested all kinds of things.

-reinstalling the game

-repairing the game

-Resetting the settings

-Reset controller

-Reconnected controller, via Bluetooth and cable

-Added game to Steam and executed via Steam

-Launched as admin

-Launched game without Steam active

-Updated drivers

-Used different controllers

None of the above has solved the problem!

I'm fed up, spent so much money and now I can't even play properly.


Please provide a fix or instructions for a fix.

Thanks in advance.

  • Bug still present.

    Please fix this.

    Several bugs with same issue are open...

  • Hey you found a fix yet? Its so annoying when I get this which is basically every match in rivals and champs now and I cant play the game properly so Ive just wasted my money, any new ideas? Ive basically triod everything you have and some more things as well with nothing working

  • I can relate. I bought this game for the main purpose of playing with friends and people. Sadly, I can't because EA FC24 has too many glitches like this one. For example, I tried to play Rivals but couldn't because it switched from mouse movement to WASD, and all the controls were different. Yesterday, I also encountered another glitch which didn't allow me to put any substitutes which stopped me from playing ultimate team the whole day. EA, I beg you, please fix these glitches, you're a big enough company to fix small problems that annoy your users.

  • @xyzetGGGuys try this,I don't know about origin,steam etc.But i use EA play app and always connect your controller before you start the game,If you connect your controller after opening game,it won't work in match.Hope it will help
