Re: Madden 19 PC Controller support

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.

    I uninstalled the previous one when moving on to the next one. I eventually got it working sorta but when i go to sprint my players have a stop and start run to them. I'll keep working on 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.

    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

    Same issue for me, just using a Logitech Dual Action Gamepad. It's ugh... all buttons are mapped to L1. Just the D-Pad is working.

    I have a logitech rumble pad for my pc.  it works for every single game i ever need to use it with ...  except madden 19.   I'm about to just reach out to my credit card company and get my money back.    

    I cant do anything.  the sticks are inverted, the buttons are out of whack and when I go into settings i can't remap any of them to make it right.      

    this is messed up for a $60 game.

    I got my Logitech to work by moving the slider on the back to X from D  ( I have the Logitech F310)

  • Does this method still work for you? I have tried multiple times with no luck

    Can you explain how you got your F310 controller to work?

    What were your steps.  Are you using DS4Windows?

    Thanks

    I have the exact same issue. I use a Gioteck VX2 BT Controller. It has worked perfectly with other games but now with Madden NFL 19, the buttons have now been randomized and my A, B, X, Y have now been moved to the R1, R2, R

    L1, L2 buttons. My right trigger and left trigger button has now been moved down to the L3 and R3 buttons. everything is messed up

    have you found a solution or do i need to buy an xbox controller

    I surely hope I don't have to because i love Playstation Style Controllers

    I played with a logitech rumble pad. worked perfectly fine untill last night update now i have exactly the same issue. cant seem to fix it. EA support is useless and keep on telling me its my gamepad drivers ironically the gamepad works fine for all other games?
