Customisable Controllers - NFS Heat
Good Afternoon, My question /request is an easy one. Will this NFS Heat release allow you to customize your controller to suit the users preference? If not would you please please add this feature....
Forum Discussion
Agree it is a must have feature to be able to costumize your pad layout. But more important is imo to set the deadzones and sensibility of the axes/trigger which was already possible in NFS 2015. I will never understand why so usefull and needed feature are not a standard nowadays.

EA Staff (Retired)Hey all,
We've seen a good bit of feedback about having the ability to customize controls.
Can't say for certain it's something that will be implemented but we're definitely aware of the community asks here.
Cheers,

thats a dissapointing reply as i was hoping it was a tech issue that it might not have been working.... for such a huge quality of gameplay thing i was hoping it would be a something that would be seriously on the cards. think i will have to use auto trans or just wait for the possibility of this happening as its just not enjoyable playing with awkward controls where your middle fingers are throttle/ brake and index fingers gear changing ☹️ every other aspect of the game seems to be brilliant i love it
I feel you... played for a few hours today and yesterday, still trying to get used to it - I feel like automatic feels even worse than shifting with the index, at least coming from Forza Horizon, GT and Project Cars - its annoying to say the least
Yeah, I have this problem too, but maybe not to the degree of what others say on the other thread. My biggest concern is just that I need to hold down right stuck to capture, but I wanna remap to a button on the D-Pad like in Payback. It's such a shame they removed this feature...
Bring it back, please! Hope you guys are hearing us lol
This feature is a must! If you really listen to your community as you really should, customizing controls would be already there! This is 2019! Yes I am enjoying the game, but these missing features are really frustrating
Ghost will never add controller mapping to this game. My solution is to use an elite controller which can switch between two profiles. One profile is default buttons for the menus. The second profile is completely remapped for driving. Example: shift up is A, shift down is X, handbrake is B, paddle is nitrous, etc. I'm on xbox.
- @babaluk i dont think we should have to buy a specialist controller to do this tho, while its is a good idea for a work around. We pay enough for the consoles and then the games this should really be a basic feature and it's not a hard one or time consuming process for them to implement. I've spoken with a developer at a sony studio and they have said how easy it is to be done. In my opinion it's just showing how out of touch the game producers are from their customers.
Considering one of our previous posters had contacted EA via chat, prior to release of the game, regarding button mapping. In which the representative had confirmed it was going to happen.
Is indeed disappointing.
I personally am fortunate enough to be able to remap the software that couples the elite 2 controller. But it's far from ideal.
I still haven't found a satisfactory remap to access the photomode though. How on earth are we expected to capture a specific moment whilst having to push down the right stick for several seconds? At least in Payback you could just hit the menu button. Idk.
You would have of thought that nowadays something like button remapping would come as standard on every title.
I actually hadn't noticed the LB issue. I've just gone and tested it. OMG I use manual gears and have been wondering why the cops were giving up. That's crazy, you can't change down or you'll bribe the police. Crazy.
I logged in just to also post about this. This is a car game and a huge feature. I just started playing the game and cant play manual, caus of the button mapping for shifting gears. What were they thinking? Atleast give us the option to customize our own button layout or switch manual to the R3 stick. Its 2020, being able to customize your own buttons is pretty 101. Do car enthusiasts actually test these games?
That's the only reason i logged in also, Luckily I only purchased an origin trial while it may be premier I'm glad i didn't waste 50$ USD on this game. I would honestly return the game and buy need for speed 2016.
EA-GHOST allow controller binds not just buttons but the sticks... I use the stick to shift up and down.
Thanks.
Is this feature very hard to implement?
- @ismejacks no it's not, it would take a developer about 30mins to write the code for it that's it.
- @EA_Andy So you’re aware that your game is unplayable for some people but don’t feel the need of fixing the situation. That’s what I’m getting from your message.
I think this should be a number 1 priority. I can't play this game until this is sorted, I feel like EA is cheating us gamer's by doing this. We as gamers should have the freedom to customize at will.
- @EA_Andy What is the reason that it's a chance it will not make it into the game?
Hey Andy,
Just curious but why would this not be an option to include in a game, everyone has their own preferences with a controller and as far as i'm aware it's not a hard thing to implement in a game.
Personally I really dislike the layout that you're forced to use at the moment and would love the ability to change it so I was just wondering why this isn't an obvious thing to add to the game. Since you can change your keybindings why not your controller buttons.
There is absolutely no excuse to not have controller remapping in a RACING GAME in 2019. This needs to be fixed or you're going to have a lot of people returning the game. It's bad enough that there's no first person/in-cockpit views, but this is a total game killer for me.
Not being able to customize controls is absolutely unacceptable (especially in a racing game). The fact that this made it past QA/testing is unbelievable. This needs to be added ASAP.
