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.
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.
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.
Force feedback IS required.
FFB and rumble is just as important in my opinion. same with H shifter support and clutch.
I will buy as soon as this game supports my G27 with force feedback. And I will buy it earlier if it even supports H transmition or unlocks the 30fps.
