Add a deadzone adjustment to help with stick drift issues

FC games are a known analog stick killer causing drift but that's understandable as it's an extremely stick intense game. Other games have helped work-around the issue by providing an ingame percentage adjustment option to set a deadzone so add this to FC.

Seems an obvious and pretty easy thing to add given the already abundent range of accessibility options. Better transparency for what the default deadzone level is so we know how cautious we need to be about drift and allow adjustments

    Thanks for the solid feedback. Until a better option is available in-game, for PS5 users, there is an option, an expensive one though. The Dualsense Edge has deadzone adjustment. See the following link for info on this.

    Thank you.

    I clock up very heavy hours on FC/Fifa so drift  is an unfortunately frequent issue for me. As you say there is the Edge but it's pricey. There are third party controllers with hall effect sticks but most aren't in the Playstation style/layout (side by side analog sticks) and/or are expensive. Returning controllers under warranty to Sony is a pain unless the store you buy from does in store warranty exchanges (most don't in the UK as I had the misfortune to discover a few weeks back - hence this post as im stuck with a drifty controller now).

    So yeah, bit of a pain to deal with this issue so having an in-game workaround would be nice. One of those things a lot probably suffer from without realising.

    Appreciate the reply, the sheer amount of noise particularly in the FC community must make it hard for decent feedback to reach the devs so here's hoping

    For myself also, the Edge controller is way too expensive. I have had drift or other controller issues in the past and did not bother with any kind of warranty replacement. 70 euro, new controller, done (several times). I think dropping a controller is really bad for it and certainly throwing a controller against the wall in anger/frustration is also not recommended!
