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.
If they could just do what Criterion did with Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted it would be great. Those games could see any type of controller that was plugged in. It would be even better if there were adjustments for sensitivity and deadzone.
I agree with all the frustration in here. A brand new NFS racing game without WHEEL SUPPORT?
How is this even possible in 2013? I could not believe it when I realized that PC-owners were stuck with playing with the keyboard. A totally inferior way of playing such a game. I'm playing "Hot Pursuit" and "Most Wanted" with full USB Wheel support, and it works perfectly. These are Criterion games, and that company is also associated with "Rivals". How could they allow a new game without such controller support? It's not possible to understand this at all.
A NFS racing game with wheel support is like a swimming game without water!
