All the above solutions did not work for me. I am using an Xbox One Elite controller Series 2 on Windows 11 Pro. The dinput and xinput hooks provided by another member have zero effect because those are 32 bit dll files and the game executable is 64 bit, so the game does not load those dll files and reads them from system32 instead.
I ended up finding a project on Github for another game with similar controller issues. I slightly modified the project and converted it to 64 bit and then I modified the config file to make it work for my setup.

Extract dinput8.dll and dinput8.ini into the game directory, next to NFS16.exe.
Make sure the path to the original dinput8.dll in dinput8.ini is correct. If this doesn't work for you, try changing MaskXONEController to "no" or try removing the # symbols before "AllowClass" settings.
Good luck!
Thank you for posting this. I'm also on Windows 11 and using an Xbox Series controller via bluetooth. I copied the two files to my game directory and the controller works perfectly.
