    Sounds like an issue with the controller; this could be a wheel, gamepad or keyboard? Try making sure that there is no dust in your devices and that they aren't damaged in any way.

    If the issue persists, unplug all other (usb) devices or try a clean boot.

    I got the same problem. My Xbox Pad works flawless with every other game except NFS. I got a work around for it though. I taped the bottom D-pad button down. It seems like the game needs a constant input for it to play "normal". This issue started happening after this update!

    Yeah I got the same Problem. I tried it with the G27 and same issue. Both, gamepad and wheel work flawless with everything else. What I saw while using the gamepad, is that the game recognizes the pad once I have a button pressed but only when one button is pressed. This must be fixed. Even if I get lucky and it works with the wheel the game feels way to wonky with it. The constant auto Countersteer and removing of the feedback is a debby downer for people with a wheel. Get the Gamepad issue sorted pls!

    It's 2023, they are close to shutting down the servers and it's still isn't fixed.

  • I have an Xbox One controller, and my solution was to upgrade the controller's firmware through the "Xbox Accessories" Windows app. This is described here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Other-Need-for-Speed-Games/PC-Troubleshooting-for-Wheels-Controllers-Controls/td-p/5230054

    The upgrade alone won't fix all the glitches. For example, I still have to unplug my keyboard in order to play with the controller, otherwise it keeps accelerating or braking on its own. It fixed, however, the glitch that makes the controller only be detected when one of its keys are pressed, which I believe it is the same issue reported by the OP.

    P.S. I am able to play wirelessly - on bluetooth. Whoever wrote those instructions said the solution only works if you play with the cable connected, but that did not happen to me.

    UPDATE: it worked wirelessly only once. Now it only works when connected via cable. Ugh...

    The glitches are quite unpredictable. For f**s' sake, EA, fix this.

  • To people still having this issue, go to setting and then press controls/controller and press "Y" or "Triangle" depending on your keypad, Then set the sensativity settings to the following.

    Steering Sensativity: Lowest Possible
    Throttle Sensativity: Highest Possible
    Brake Sensativity: Highest Possible
    Steering Deadzone: Lowest Possible
    Throttle Deadzone: Highest Possible
    Brake Deadzone: highest Possiible

    This fixed my issues with PS4, PS5 controllers on steam using Steams Input.
