Re: Xbox Controller Not Working At All (PC EA Play)

Make sure all other controller devices, even if they are turned off. I had this issue and is was resolved when i unplugged my Fanatec ClubSport wheel from my PC (even though it was turned off). Hoping this helps.

  • I Unplugged my foot pedal and holy * that fixed it. This has to be the strangest bug I have ever experienced THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTION 

  • So unplugging my foot pedals sort of fixed it. Before, I could not accelerate, menus only showed keyboard inputs, left stick moved camera around car. Rest of buttons did nothing except boost on one of them.   
    Unplugging the foot pedal allowed full function of the car MINUS the left stick skill controlled the camera around the car AND steered at the same time.  

  • i only have one xbox one wireless controller connectet. even if i disconnect keyboard, mouse and headset the controlls are switshed.

    updating controller firmware doesnt help either.

    every other game works fine with th xbox controller.

    Why can i only select keys and actions for keyboard. in NFS most wanted from 2005! you could selekt your own Button layout for your controller!!!

    @Final_Scone I did this including devices I don’t consider to do with a ‘controller’ and it was still the same issue. It’s weird because it started off fine. Game worked great. And then suddenly it’s not. The buttons have all changed on the controller (in game) but it’s only on nfs unbound and 2015 I’ve noticed it on so far. The other games I’ve played on EA’s app work alright no issues 🤷🏾‍♂️

    I had this problem for months and tried unplugging my HOTAS stick and throttle and now everything works again. Thank you so much!

  • I have an XBOX ONE controller and since the game came out in November I was always able to play normally, it was until 3 weeks ago that the game started to crash and there is no way that I can use my controller, I already tried almost all the solutions that there is on the internet and nothing works... in other games my control works normally, it only happens with NFS, it is annoying, I thought that VOL 3 would somehow fix the bug, I even repaired and reinstalled the game but the problem persists, at times it works and then it does nothing else. ☹️
