Cheers!

    I connected the controller using Bluetooth as suggested instead of USB and the controller is still not recognized in game after launching Madden.  The controller is recognized in all other games I play with no issues, it's only Madden 24 that is not recognizing it.

      Can you check for any windows updates or updates for the controller drivers?

        This is happening for all pc players. We can’t play the game unless we use mouse and keyboard.
