No Controller input on ps5***HELP

I am about 40% through the story mode, and all of a sudden when I went to play today the game decides it did not want to receive any input from my controller. I first thought it was my controller, which I promptly tested and on other games and in the menu it worked perfectly, all input was being received.

This has been insanely frustrating, I have done everything from resetting the console to the controller to hard resetting the controller, connecting it to other sources then back to the ps5. i have uninstalled the game reinstalled the game unsinged and resynced all the data. literally everything I could possibly think of.

This is what happens...... I go into the game everything loads properly then once in the game I can't use any controller buttons besides the PS button, if I then reset the controller and go back into the game, upon loading into the game my car is thrown into reverse and I cannot do a thing about it.

Have tried to contact EA support but that's just as impossible as reaching Jesus Christ himself. 


HELP this is driving me fkn insane!

    @BeaverChopsMKII To confirm does a secondary controller work in unbound? Also to confirm do you have the initial controller wired or wireless?
  • Thanks for your reply! 

    Same thing happens with my other controller also. 

    I have tried the controller wired and wireless. 

    Something is up with the game or has to be because other games work perfectly fine. It's so strange, I've never encountered anything like this before. 

    No controller input is one thing then the only time the controller does work once I've reset it whilst ingame the car automatically jams in reverse and I cannot do anything, if I accelerate it just rips a mad burnout because it's still in reverse, all other inputs work when this happens but cannot do anything about the car being in reverse. I've popped the L2 button out and tested it and it still does the same thing jams in reverse as if the button has been held down.

  • we’re having the same issues here. I already followed the instructions but it is still not working

  • Yeah I tried everything I could possibly think of including taking the controller apart and checking all connections. Still isn't working to this day so sad I had to stop playing and I traded the game in for something else. I was really enjoying the game, it's a shame.
