Acceleration not working properly in nfs heat!

I have this same exact problem. Thank god for you guys cause I couldn’t even find a solution on YouTube or anywhere. Honestly thought this was how i was suppose to drive around until i played online with my friends. I switched my r2 to r1. I can drive now. But I’d still rather have my normal buttons back so I don’t have to keep switching for other games. Ive noticed everyone on here made this complaint 3 weeks ago and still no fix.... there NEEDS to be an update.
