Controller on PC having issues

Each time before I start FC24 I disconnect wireless mouse USB dongle and turn off all apps on the PC that I safely can, including Microsoft Edge and Windows Widgets, only leaving Microsoft background processes, McAfee and EA App.

Maybe it's the wired keyboard causing problems but if that's the case why only in the last 2 weeks and not before?

@EA can you please advise because this leaves me having to second guess what my controlled players are going to do -  run or stop? Complete nonsense that multiple 97+ rated players with pace 95+ seem to more often that not stop when receiving a pass allowing defenders with 80-85 pace to catch up, take ball and run away. Game is now unplayable for me. Had more loses in last week of squad battles due to this issue that in previous 3 months.

Its shocking if EA cant reproduce and see this issue, or dont they know how to fix it. Some background running process is switching the controller focus I believe. I had an issue today where I was streaming something on a separate screen whille I was playing online, my streaming finished so I went to quickly switch the settings to just the main screen and nothing I could do would get controls back into the game which was still running. I cant blame EA for that as it isnt something you should be doing, but I have bought it up to make the point that I believe other processes on a PC are being allowed to disrupt the control when you are playing normally.

The "stop running" issue is the most obvious in game play but there also seems to be a decrease in passing & shooting accuracy as in normal shots ending yards wide rather than feet, or should than be several meters rather than half a meter?

Direction of players running is also inconsistent - moving diagonally backwards to intercept opponent will suddenly decide to go straight down or up heading to sideline whilst opponent races past

@EA you really need to sort the basics out

@EA Been playing this game almost everyday since made live and for the last week suddenly have issue with controlled players not responding correctly to input from controller.

In Ultimate Teams - squad battles, rivals and friendlies.

Players will stop running, other auto players that are running stop when they receive a pass.

My internet connection is wired and best possible in area with 99/100 connectivity score

Controller is connected by USB, wireless mouse removed before game starts.

I've tried 3 different controllers, each in 2 different USB ports and no difference.

This all started after FC25 page appeared when starting the game.

Completely unacceptable as makes playing the game a complete lottery

How stupid do you think we are? Your game is just utterly sht, just like almost every FIFA before, and you ask us if our controller is connected.

Thats crazy

Same happening

I am using a normal wired zebronics controller in my fifa 24..but it is only showing keyboard +mouse setting in customise settings..what should i do..my controller is ok
