Recognizing GamePad Controller in EA Sports PGA Tour 2023

Based on what ive seen and how this game is being handled, i agree that this issue is probably going to go the wayward. I have already requested a refund and have been lurking and waiting to see if there are any developments to all the issues being reported. I know (better than most) that issues take time to be fixed so thats why im waiting before i even consider repurchasing this title.

My review on steam reflects this sentiment - this game and its pricetag are not justified and unfortunately will set a nasty precedent for future titles from EA and other developers. This game was clearly not ready to be released.

Mods/whoever, is there anything else that i can provide to assist? ive already provided a dxdiag with some steps to reproduce. I even went as far to delete the razor drivers and software, and it still failed to fully recognize the controller when it came to online play. To elaborate further, when i joined a friend OR i invited a friend to a private match, i had to use the MnK to do so, because the ea overlay doesn't understand how to use a controller (please see how UBISOFT handles this as they can do both controller and MnK). Once im in the lobby, i use my controller to reset the view so it shows im on a controller. I spam triggers and bumpers so that the view changes to settings and whatnot to confirm it has the controller. Once the game loads, the controller is rendered useless and the view shows MnK controls on tee off. No amount of unplugging/plugging back in will fix it as the game REFUSES to acknowledge that i even have a controller input.
