Xbox and PS Controllers Not Working On PC

I used to bluetooth my ps4 controller to madden and it worked fine. Now when i bluetooth or plug it into my pc it doesnt recognize the controller properly, it thinks O is to select and L2 is to go back. How do i fix the controller so it works normally?

    @lle4p Hi there! I wanted to check in and see how things are going. Are you still experiencing any issues with the PS4 controller not responding to the game?

    Thanks!

    @lle4p Do you have the Xbox app and the Xbox accessories app installed?

    Have you plugged in the Xbox controller and updated the software through the Accessories app?

    Are you playing on Steam?

    If yes, open up Big Picture mode and go to the controller settings.

    Click Menu in the lower left and then select Controller.

    You can check to make sure the button layout is correct and test the inputs outside of Madden.

    @lle4p Thanks! Can you unplug the controller, or the dongle/USB from the PC, and try the following steps?

    • From the main menu (not UT)
    • Click creation center > load/delete files
    • Click All
    • Delete all files except franchise/Team Builder (if this applies)
    • Skip all offline files

    Then plug back in the controller - I would hardwire not USB. launch the game, and go into the settings again and make sure the controller is recognized.

    I tried this and it still has the same issue. It showed the controller on the inactive side of change controller setting but it wont slide over. It still has the recognition issue of O being to select and L2 to be back.
