Why can't I use my Xbox series 2 controller?(EA app)

I've tried importing to steam and all the little tutorials to try to get my controller to work. I can't stand playing this game on keyboard and mouse. I know for a fact that the controller works and reads on other games(including Madden 23, also through the EA app).

    Worth updating the firmware of the Xbox controller, we seen that have worked for some of our players.

    So for those that haven't found this solution yet, but if you have a foot pedal set up, unplug it. For whatever reason, it blocks the ability to be able to use your controller in NFS:Unbound. 

  • Not OP but similar issue here. The game doesn't recognise my xbox series controller on PC through the trial in the EA app at all. Tried wired, wireless, makes no difference.

    @DESTROYAH7TEN  Same for PS4 controller... even contacted support, but they didnt know about this issue and tell me to make a thread here. I think you need to wait for a patch or find a work around yourself... sadly
