Unable to control players on UT

Hello, I am a PC user through the EA app, I use a Recent Xbox controller. I am able to play perfectly fine. However, on Ultimate Team I am unable to control any of my players. I have tried to play wired and wireless, all my drivers are up to date and I have also attempted playing with my keyboard and mouse unplugged/turned off. In controller settings it does recognize it is a Xbox controller, and as I say it works fine in other game modes. How can I fix this?
