Keyboard Custom Controls Not Saving in EA SPORTS FC 25 (PC)
Platform:
PC – Windows 11
Launcher: EA App - Epic
Description of the Issue:
When I customize keyboard controls in EA SPORTS FC 25 and set them to Keyboard Only – Custom A, the game does not save the configuration properly.
In Kick Off mode, the game forces "Keyboard + Mouse" even if I selected "Keyboard Only".
In Career Mode, the game always reverts to the default keyboard layout instead of using Custom A.
Even after deleting buttonDataSetupV1.ini in Documents → EA Sports FC 25 → Settings, the file is recreated but only contains the default mappings. My custom layout is never saved.
Steps to Reproduce:
Delete buttonDataSetupV1.ini.
Launch the game.
Go to Settings → Customize Controls → Keyboard Only.
Remap keys and save as Custom A.
Enter Kick Off or Career Mode.
Observe that controls revert to default or to Keyboard + Mouse.
Expected Result:
The game should save my Custom A keyboard layout and apply it consistently in all game modes (Kick Off, Career, Ultimate Team, etc.).
Actual Result:
The game always ignores the saved layout and reverts to default, making it impossible to play with custom keyboard controls.
