Xbox Controller Not Working At All (PC EA Play)

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. ☹️

I know this is an old thread. I have a 3 piece foot switch. Thanks for your information, i unplugged mine and my controller now works for NFS Hot Pursuit
