How do you change the gamepad settings for NFS:Rivals PC version?

You can't change any settings EA have dumbed down this version so no one can remap or use 3rd party (non xbox) controllers or wheels - last chance to fix it is using keyboard remapper like xpadder try googling that it may work for you.  THANKS EA

Is there not anyway to remap the controls on my Xbox controller for my PC in the NFS Rivals? Or at least disable default Xbox controls so that I could use Xpadder to reassign controls? If I cannot do either of these the game is useless to me because I am a disabled user and I would like my money back.

Welcome to the land of utter stupidity...also known as the PC version of NFS:Rivals.

This is really hard to understand. What is the logic behind these decisions? Xbox only on the PC? Yeah...uhm...that sounds about right (NOT!).

This is so dumb. Should have known this earlier before I press my purchase button on this **bleep**.

It's totally boneheaded!!!!

And the silence is deafening.

It's a beta.....still!!!

Make it functional.

Is there anybody home???

What about me I bought the xbox wireless controller with pc receiver just to play this game and then turns out I cant even change the config.... well I am using xboxce with logitech rumblepad 2 so its working okay for me expcept the delay of tech pursuit it takes about 4-10 seconds to deploy after pressing the button (just happens if I am inside the game for more than 5-10 minutes) when i have just entered the game.. it works like a charm... odd thou throttle, brake, ebrake, Right button (RB) and nitros never fails..... oddly pursuit tech and Left Button (LB) gets delayed.. so I sometimes use keyboard insted...  for those things ☹️ (btw its not only logitech it happens to xbox controller to so its not xboxce program or logitech controller it must be the game. )

Xpadder in NFS Rivals will conflict with the game controls, bad idea :-)

Yep, tried xpadder, it conflicted with the controller. Anybody have a hack or mod? I honestly just want to use the A button so I don't get arthritis holding down the back RT button for hours. EA sucks! I signed up for Origin to get need forspeed underground 2 and it looks like it's not even here. The Run is ok, but this control system for Rivals makes it not worth playing. So far Peggle is the best game on Origin lol

I have found a way to get it done. Simply put the xbox simulator to your game folder, try to run it, it should give you an error message and it will disable current gamepad allowing you to set up the Xpadder to set up according to your keyboard configuration.

What do yo mean by xbox simulator?
