Star wars battlefront 2 online controller problem

So I just baught my ps4 and baught swbf2 and the game worked fine in the campaign and the menus all work fine. But when I join an online multiplayer match. Once I'm in the game the controller stops working except for the right analog stick. I cant move or use any other buttons but I can look around using the right analog stick... Can anyone please help me with this issue or has anyone experienved this? Seems everyone rlse in the game is moving fine its only me... I'm stuck only being able to look around and cant fire or anything. So I end up getting killed the whole time. It works for like a few seconds then stops working again so on and so forth... Very frustrated.

    I've run into this problem in every online match, every mode (Minus star fighter since the wait time for a que takes forever for any match let alone a big one like that)

    There are times when I forcibly turn off and on my controller through the PS button and I get to move 2 steps, then it freezes in "Observe Mode" as I like to call it. Makes for pretty scrappy times in Hero's and Villians when you are the target getting killed unable to even RUN...
  • 2020, and still a problem. I own over FORTY PS4 games, and ONLY Battlefront 2 competetive online modes and one other game have controller issues. It's been narrowed down. its ONLY with this game (and another unrelated game, Starlink) and it doesnt matter what controller is used. EVERY controller behaves problematically, ONLY with Battlefront 2 (and an unrelated other game). It's not controller hardware or firmware. It's not the PS4 hardware. Its not the signal. if it were, 38 unaffected games would be affected. THEYRE NOT.  It's either compatability problems between the PS4 firmware and EA servers OR the game in storage or else it's something else in the game or the servers we need EA to deal with. Cyberpredators should not be ruled out, as it only happens during competetive play, where cybercriminals have already been observed killing players through walls with no nearby door, or killing while facing the opposite direction and already otherwise occupied in a firefight with somebody else( i wish deaths in competetive games were  recorded & reviewed, to weed out cyberpretator saboteurs (bc if theyre altering the game, theyre not legitimate players. Theyre saboteurs and vandals and should be charged accordingly) & report them to their ISP, but thats off  topic.) ANYWAY, Whatever this is, it's a shared problem across PC AND PS4. PLEASE fix this, EA! Im bringing multiple people into the EA fold, playing this, across multiple platforms, and youre making me look bad!!

  • It really is criminal that EA can’t fix this…or acknowledge it. This started happening a couple of months ago and makes the game unplayable.

    I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with SWBF2, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
