Update:

There is a now a sticky related to issues with Wheels, Controllers and in-game controls:

If you found a solution or workaround that you want added to the sticky, please send me a private message.

Additional solution by @Malikh822, if you are using an Xbox One S controller:

Spoiler
My short term solution is to plug your Xbox One S controller into the computer using Micro USB and downloading "Xbox Accessories" via the Windows 10 app store to update the controller. I was then able to use the controller to play the game, but only when connected via the Micro USB cord.

Here's the solution for this problem (sorry for my bad english).

First of all, the problem is that the game believes that the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal are the same.

1.- Close the Game. Uninstall all the apps for mapping (vJoy, MotionJoy, etc). If you had x360ce, remove them (exe, dlls and others files for this program).

2.- If you have installed the driver for Logitech G27 (or other wheel), uninstall it.

3.- Download the driver for the wheel. For G27 is here http://support.logitech.com/en_us/product/g27-racing-wheel

4.- Install the driver.

5.- At some point in the installation you will se a tester, where you can try out all the buttons and pedals (image attached). If everything is correct, then you can play without problems. Do not forget to reset the controls settings and sensibility in the game.

6.- If you close the game, and when open back, the wheel does not work properly, just go to (Windows 10) Settings -> Devices -> Devices and printers (in the end, in Related settings). Right click on G27 Racing Wheel and select "Game control settings". Or, uninstall the driver and reinstall it.

  Hi everyone.
  I've just bought Need for Speed and installed onto my new Windows 10 PC.
  First problem is that Origins start in Compatibility Mode, deciding this on its own. Game crashes both several times when loading, and almost always when turning off to return on Desktop.
  This is very annoying. But the most annoying problem is this one related to the controller.
  I've got very simple digital gamepad by Thrustmaster, with two axes and 8 buttons. It always workerd well with previous titles like Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon. For this new game I read only Xbox 360 controller is supported, so I tried to emulate with the x360ce software. It works, since when I set the buttons inside the game all the buttons are recognized.
  I faced up with the handbrake stuck problem, but eventually solved it unmapping both the keyboard and the steering wheel (which I don't have). Also noticed that removing controller from USB game is perfect, but you know, this title is not playable via keyboard. And I won't try to disconnect keyboard since it is a PS/2 keyboard, connected on the backpanel of my computer, and I need the keyboard when on Desktop.
  Now my car is not braked, I can accelerate and steer by mean of the gamepad, but still I have a big problem, since when I press button B or button X main menu appears not allowing me to brake or hand-brake (i've set B and X as brakes).
  I tried so many combinations in x360ce software, but no one of them worked. I tried to change sensibilities in many combinations, but no result. So please, if someone experienced the same problem, tell me how to solve.
  I'd like to play Need for Speed and I bought this to play, not to spend my days finding solutions on forums which do not fix the issue.
  I am not pleased to say that if a refund was possible, I would have asked for it, since it's not acceptable a genuine game shows so many problems.
  Please help me. Thank you so much.

  Hello! Im wondering if you (EA) is working on this problem? Iw owned this game to ps4 since the first day it came out and now iw just recently bought it for pc, ONLY because you can play with steeringwheel! To my big disappointment that dosnt work.. I have tried all your ''solutions'' but none work. Iw unbinded all buttons and changed the deadzones and then i can get the car to accelerate but unable to brake. Something i found out tho is with all the buttons unbinded and the deadzones ''right'' i can accelerate with the accelerator for my wheel (G27) but i can also brake with ESC on my keyboard, why?
  Please fix this issue that never should have been there in the first place.. It's like buying a pizza but all you get is dough...
