Re: NFS Unbound wheel and clutch/shifter support

Hello @daznst,

if you're talking about NFS: Unbound (as you're currently in the forum for it), it does support several different wheels, as you can read up on in this article. You will have to scroll down to the "Game, Controls, Driving Settings" section.

Regarding older games in the franchise, steering wheel support might not be given as some of the games are quite old. In general, I always recommend looking at the game information page on the website, before buying the game, as most of the time, the information regarding wheel support is given there.

  • Hello, I just bought NFS Unbound for PC and was very disappointed that there is no support for my wheel "Fanatec CSL Elite Steering Wheel WRC". Your developers made support for the old model: "Fanatec CSL Elite Racing Wheel" which is discontinued.

    Interestingly enough, NFS Payback and NFS Heat DO HAVE support for the new wheel model. Your developers should learn that this is a very popular wheel so please add support to it immediately! And not only for Unbound, but for every next NFS release. Kind regards!

  • @EA_PythiaPlease add more Steering wheels for this game.
    Some people wants to use DD wheels just to use) it is ok there is no forcefeedback.
    It is used to race by wheel.
    for now i have to have 2 wheels if i want to play nfs and dirt2 or ea sports wrc

    @EA_Pythiaare you saying that force feedback and the wheel response has been fixed? i have the t300 thrustmaster and the response was horrible, yes i have current everything your about to tell me to do. when i tried my wheel there was nothing in game to show me my wheel was even connected. if you tell me this is fixed, ill redownload and try again.

  • They did nothing!!! They don't even bother to respond us or to appologise! I hate EA for this. How can the developers be so i****, to add wheel support for older games but not to newer games? They added "some wheels" support. There is a list somewhere.. In that list it's the ancient model of Fanatec WRC wheel, but not the new one (which si also on the market since 2 years). A frienf of mine deleted the game from the inventory.. I refunded it. So f-ing annoying!!!

    @EA_Pythia a quick search for wheels in this forum will show you that page you linked should be taken down. these "supported" wheels are horrible, almost none existent force feedback, terrible response for steering, unmappable buttons, and no in-game setting to adjust to try and make my wheel playable. and worst of all, no response from EA to even try to explain why. if im doing something wrong, tell me. as of right now, unbound is the last title i purchase from ea. I just don't trust them now.

    @EA_Pythia oh look, silence from the ea guys about steering wheels that were promised. well, enjoy the 70 bucks you got from me. hope it helps.
  • I'm sorry but this "support" for wheels is pathetic on a racing game.

    no configuration, no gearbox support, no FFB.

    I stopped playing NFS 2015 cause of a weird FFB issue but at least it had it!

    I would understand not supporting DD or the more expensive kits, its a console game not a simulator. but not having even the ability to change the button layout or have Force Feed BAck, just not good enough by far

  • Hello with you.
    it could be cool. If you can make an update so that you can use it.

    In my honest experience, It's 1000% better to install NFS from Steam. I installed NFS Heat and with Steam, I was able to remap a Mario Kart Pro Hori steering wheel to work perfect. I even had a 3 monitor setup for my playthrough from start to finish of NFS Heat all with a wheel. I bought NFS Payback on EA, and there is no options really to remap the steering wheel or make it work 100% with a triple screen setup. All on PC.
