Re: Controller support/ wheel support for NFS HEAT

Got out the allen wrench to swap out my Logi G920 Xbox wheel for my G29 PS4 wheel so I could play some Heat with a wheel...only to load up the game and find that it didn't do * when I played. Googled and found this. W.T.F.??? How does any NFS game NOT have wheel support??? It's outrageous...ludicrous...unacceptable!!

Add wheel support to next patch for cryin' out loud.

  • @vice350z Hope you learned your lesson to never buy a product without doing research first.... or ... looking at the case to see what's supported or ISN'T.
    Or more importantly, don't buy anything from EA until 6 months have gone by, it's gone on sale 3 times, and MAYBE had enough patches to fix some of the more major game bugs
  • Agreed, couple years ago these POSERS did the same thing and I got burned then. Bought the game and never played it. Year after year I did the research before buying, but this year I dropped my guard and bought it. As soon as it wouldn't support my wheel I turned it off. Never again will I get burned....Pissed....Pissed and Pissed off that NFS can't do a basic thing like wheel support for a racing game. Sure better be a patch coming soon....RRRRRRRRRR

  • I know ,having bought two games already ,looks like pay back will be my only game as far as NFS goes .

    Hey everyone in our latest blog post! 🙂 

    STEERING WHEELS

    At the end of the month, you’ll be able to plug in your own steering wheel to play Need for Speed Heat. We have tested the following models, but a few others might work as well:

    • Thrustmaster T300RS (PS4, PC)
    • Thrustmaster TX (Xbox, PC)
    • Thrustmaster T150 (PS4, PC)
    • Thrustmaster TMX (Xbox, PC)
    • Logitech G29 (PS4, PC)
    • Logitech G920 (Xbox, PC)
    • Fanatec CSL Elite Racing Wheel (PS4, PC, XB1)

    Make sure to connect your equipment before launching the game, and that your steering wheel is assigned to your user profile.

    and more!

    Is there support for a shifter, such as with the G920? That is a major point of contention for me as I am debating on the investment in a wheel and a second copy of the game for my PC. Thanks for any info.

    If you have a shifter it supports gears 1-6 and also reverse if your car is set up for 7 or 8 gears you'd have to go through 6 on the shifter then 7/8 would be accessed by the paddle shifters on the back of the steering wheel.

  • Big thanks to EA_Atic for your info on my G920 PC wheel. Great to see the EA techs come through! I am just starting the deluxe edition of Heat on my muscle of a desktop PC running at max      settings. I can already tell this is going to be big fun! Thanks again; Sincerely,Alpine Venom.

  • I've installed NFS Heat on Windows 10 PC and also owning a Fanatec CSL Racing Wheel.

    After starting the game for the first time my wheel was working.

    Next day NOTHING - tried so many things but can't get back to work.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm very frustrated!

    BTW - most of my racing games are working well with Fanatec!

    Does anyone know how to set the steering wheel controls on a genesis seaborg 400?
