ORIGIN - MADDEN - PS4 CONTROLLER SUPPORT ISSUE (AFTER PATCH)

A bunch of friends and I bought the early access for Madden 20. We all have computers that can easily run Madden and all drivers are updated. 
We played Madden 19 last year and experienced no problems using a PS4 remote that we all used Inputmapper for to map it as a 360 controller. This is common knowledge, yes. 

There was a patch rolled out recently (maybe a couple days after the release of the game) and immediately after this update, the mapping of the controller for PS4 is bugged. 

This is absolutely caused by the update. I have deleted the patch file and restarted the game and everything worked fine relating to the controller but the game would crash, likely because of not having the patch files running.

Many others are experiencing this same problem. If you look on reddit, it is very prevalent there, and I have seen a couple forums elsewhere as well. My friends and I have tried EVERYTHING to somehow make a solution for this issue. 
Restarted computer, using different applications for mapping the controller, repairing the game files, uninstalled the game and reinstalled, using the game from the steam library with PS4 configuration for controller, Updated all drivers, testing multiple controllers and cords, unplugging and re-plugging everything, and various other methods from YouTube and Reddit. 

Point being, the issue is caused by the update as it was not a problem prior to it. 
So, I am wondering when/HOPEFULLY there will be a new patch to PLEASE fix this issue as all we wanted to do is play Madden on the PC together. 
This wasn't a problem and now it is which is sad. 

The issue seems to be on EA's side (no surprise), not Origin. So, I am here wondering if or when anything will be done?

Thanks for reading and listening!

I am posting this on each thread to get more notice.

    Ok, got it figured out. Start up ds4 before you start the game. Keep the controller unplugged, start game and select game mode, then plug controller in. Works for me like this now. Still a PIA but better than nothing.

    The "Help" team told me to come to this bullshiitt forum to post this question.

    Why? I do not know.

    I bought this game, figuring to give Madden a chance again (I hadn't purchased it in years) and have found that it suffers from the same problem EA's sports games tend to suffer from: lack of attention to detail.

    If we showed a lack of attention to detail in our workplaces, we would get fired. Yet EA continues to put out games with a ton of problems, and the masses do nothing about it.

    I can overlook a lot of things, but the topic of my thread not only proves my point, but is something I can't overlook and, if not solved, I will have to refund the game.

    When I use my PS3 controller to play, it still has Xbox symbols for the buttons. I get that it is Windows and Microsoft is a cowardly piece of * afraid-to-death of competition...but EA can easily solve this by putting an option in the settings by which a player can switch from Xbox to PSN (or even other common controller layouts) manually. It's done all the time.

    What are the chances that they do that?
