Unfortunately racing wheels are not supported and on PC platforms the Xbox 360 controller and Keyboard are the only supported input devices for Need for Speed Rivals.
I hope EA is working on a patch to introduce steering wheel compatablility for the PS4. I miss using my Logitech G27 Racing wheel playing this game
We are collecting your feedback about this but unfortunately I have to confirm that Driving Wheels are not supported. Should this change we will let you know.
Seriously i looked forward to playing this game more than any other game due out this year, luckily i saw your post just prior to ordering a Logitech G27, how can you release a driving game that doesn't support steering wheels, i mean seriously what were you guys thinking, where is the logic behind that? The mechanics are probably identical to Hot Pursuit 2 and that worked great with my G25. Why didn't you even give players the option? Seriously it boils down to either a) not caring about your PC customers or b) just being pure lazy. Either way i refuse to buy the game unless you implement steering wheel support. Finally i'm starting to understand all the hate for EA.
Please release a patch with support for steering wheels and then i'll rush out and buy this game, until then, my money stays with me.
I certainly hope your business managers seriously consider adding wheel support to this game. I've been an avid fan of Hot Pursuit/NFS from the beginning and cannot fathom why wheel support was dropped with this version, when it has been available in all previous versions. We have crafted our home systems over what we would hope is a standard setup to continue to enjoy the games as they are updated and released. IMHO, a controller or keyboard just doesn't cut it for racing games. Hopefully, EA will listen to its customer base and correct this oversight.
Add wheel/pedal/vibration support, and I will re-purchase my copy of Rivals.
Six friends and myself returned our games today and advised the rest of our friends (all wheel users as well) to not buy this game. This is completely unacceptable to force PC gamers that have invested thousands of dollars into their rigs to use a gamepad/keyboard. If we wanted to use gamepads, we would own consoles. You had to do some DirectInput coding to add keyboard support so I can't see it being too difficult to go a little further and support Direct Input wheels. I personally don't need force feedback or vibration in a game like this, just want my wheel to work. If you can do that, we will all buy it again. Until then you have customers dropping like flies.
OK so why is this game not "Elegible" for the Great Game Guarantee?
This is the pefect candidate to show you are serious about that.
Make sure you apply for a refund ASAP. I pre-ordered the download and got my refund approved within 10 minutes after filing on-line. But you have to read the fine print to make sure you meet the deadlines. 24 hours from the time you first play the game I think.
