Re: Hitting buttons not working

@Brakus1989

Hi,

That is actually very helpful information. Thanks a lot for posting this!

I marked your post as a solution so it will be easier to find for players that are using a search engine 🙂

I'm having the same issue and I have an elite controller. I just ordered a new non-elite controller so I guess I'll see if that works. What sucks is that I really shouldn't have to buy new hardware to fix a game that worked just fine when I bought it. :/

@Radiogirl1 @Brakus1989

Could both of you confirm the exact controller (name and platform) that didn't work, and the ones that did work?

I recently bought an XBox Elite and the Elite controller that  came with it worked at first when I bought the game but then suddenly stopped working for no reason I could detect. The controller works fine with all my other games and always has. A few weeks later, I accidentally discovered that pressing the right thumbstick resets the buttons but only temporarily. You have to keep pushing it periodically to keep the buttons working, and if you push it at the wrong time it can actually prevent the buttons from working. Needless to say, when the punches and kicks are flying this can prove to be a quick ticket to a loss.

Interestingly, I ordered a regular non-elite controller which arrived today. When I used it to play earlier it worked perfectly, just as intended. Given the evidence, I suspect some kind of software update bug in either the controller or the game itself, but I have no idea which.

Thanks for looking into this.

Thank you, @Radiogirl1 - very detailed response. I am currently still looking for some further player examples and then I will be able to pass this on for investigation.

I just bought the game, i have the day 1 controllers. but i really dont want to waste 60$ on a new cotroller just to play a game. Can u please fix this problem fast!

Hello guys I have the same problem.

So I have 2 controllers. One older version without the 3.5mm input and the 2nd with the 3.5mm input.

My problem is with the oldest controller ( without 3.5 mm). Problem like you UFC2. PLUS some other problems with NHL16 my left analog is not functioning.

When I use newest controller I have 0 problems.

What i realized that the version of the firmware are not the same. The old controller's firmware is 2.3.2381.0 vs the new : 2.3.2385.0.

Is this the Problem ??

Please I would love to hear from you because we need to fix this. 

Thanks

Can you see if resetting the controller by pressing the recessed button with a paperclip for a few seconds and then re-pairing with the console has an effect please?

Here is an image of where the reset button is: http://askabouttech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/reset-ps4-controller.jpg

Hello EA_Barry

I don't know why you are showing me a picture of how to reset a PS4 Controller. If you read all of the comment before me, it is an issue with XBOX ONE.

And yes I tried repairing the controller and also truing off / On but always the same problem.

Thanks
