Having trouble right off the bat with NFS on PC. When I try to drive my car it practically won't move. The car stays in first or second gear and wont shift up from there. I am using a PS4 controller, would that have anything to do with the problem? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling but the problem persists. I also looked into turning Manual off/on but both don't seem to help neither. ???

i had the same trouble with the steam controller and resetting the deadzones fixed it

Car is very slow. Won't go past 2nd Gear...

If you're using an xbox controller, try uninstalling the drivers and allowing Windows to reinstall them. Or roll back to an older or previous driver. These steps worked for me. And I use a PS4 controller with the aid of DS4Windows.
Hope this helps.

go into settings , controls then sensitivity tuning and reset the throttle deadzones (just move the sliders a little bit)

The PS4 controller is not officially supported. This means that you might need some third-party tweaks to get it going with Need for Speed.

If you continue to experience issues, then a myriad of answers to such problems can be found in the below threads:
