This also happens when using the Xbox app on windows. I cast/play the game from my Xbox one over to my laptop/screen using the xbox app, and if the main controller disconnects (idle, batteries, whatever), when I get back into the game there is at least 1 ghost controller added and the main controller becomes a secondary one. Every time the controller disconnects, once you come back from idle status there is a new ghost controller added.
At that point one of the the ghost controllers becomes the main controller; if I'm on the pre-game screen, the ghost controller is auto assigned to my team and even if assign my controller also to my team there is no way to enter the game if not pressing Y as per a cpu vs cpu game. At that point, I have to go into the Select Sides menu and FINALLY I can assign my controller to my team, un-assign all the ghost controllers and start the game.
can confirm XBOX support knows about the issue and has tried to contact EA to fix the issue with the Xbox app as well, but EA has yet to do anything
I sent in a direct ticket to and they just closed it without even doing anything so looks like they don't even care it is happening!!
