XB1 controllers should work natively, if you have an issue you may need to remove any other controller peripherals and retry.
PS4/PS3 controllers don't work with alot of games unless you couple it with a xinput wrapper like DSTool. Xinput basically takes your current input and clones it to be an xbox controller.
Simple and free download.
"It's not a fix it's a workaround" It's a workaround that works... I've been using it for many titles...

I've downloaded two seperate DS4 - Xinput softwares and neither one of them are working. Running it through steam in big picture mode isn't working either. Any other options?

@Stencilthethird Having multiple wrappers running can lead to odd behaviour, so it's probably worth removing what you do have installed. Afterwards you can restart with a clean boot, and try a new one. DegarnE mentions DSTool, I've heard of that in a positive light myself, can you try it?
Thanks.

Hmm, double check and make sure it's actually detecting as a Xbox One controller in the game input devices menu.
Sometimes the software can be a bit quirky, I don't have any DS4's handy to test but I have issues intermittently with my DS3's where i'll have to reconnect them, I ran into this problem occasionally with FIFA on PC.
My friend uses a DS4 fine so I know it works with the tool.
I know it's a pain in the *, but the key is to make sure the controller shows up as a "Xbox Controller" under windows.- ApprovedAnonymous7 years ago
Just finished downloading the game,
I'm using a Generic PC Pad that is a lot like a PS2 pad. Which works just fine for me in every other game I play (on Steam)
It's very annoying that it won't let me remap the buttons to my own preferences from within the game.
Currently, the A B X Y buttons all seem to be mapped to my R1 L1 L2 R2 buttons, when I try to return kicks the receiver just runs it out for safety without me being able to control them.

one solution that worked for me i found on reddit. you have to use ds4windows.
install ds4 windows but don't run it
unplug controller
start up madden and wait till you get to the screen that says press any button
Plug in controller
start up ds4windows
the ps4 controller will work properly, but still show xbox icons.
i have tried several other options and this is the only one that worked for me. hopefully a proper fix will come out
