I bought it over the weekend, but had to return it right away due to poor gamepad support. As mentioned before, every game, especially every high profile game released in 2013 should have full controller support. There are no excuses, really; if the consoles have it, the PC should as well. Period.

If Game doesn't fully support controller It shouldn't get more that 5 out of 10 in reviews. This makes me sick we pay for the game 60 quid and we are getting sub quality, unfinished product. Sub quality of a beta of the game should be distributed out of charge. If product isn't finished why is it being sold? If a producer of the cars was selling cars at the deveopement stage, with some of the 'functions' failing it would be the end for them. As a customer who paid for a product I demand that all the issues are resolved and controlls FULLY implemented, I can't understand how does it make any sense to half implement the controlls system, you can shoot you can move but to give attack order to your squad you have to reach to get the keboard...

Yeah, Battlelog should be controller friendly and it should be PROPER ingame support for controller.

 

Most games have it these days, hell even most INDIE games I bought have managed to implement proper X360 pc controller support, its just embarrassing and LAZY that it battlefield and battlelog are missing it.

 

 And the worst thing is, that EA and Dice doesn't even care, and they wont even comment it even trough the are lots of threads about it. Way to go!

I use my controller to fly jets and helis but have a major problem in BF4 that I didn't have in BF3 - the joysticks trigger the spot menu some of the time. Anyone know how to fix this?

TO DELTA FIXER  RE. JOYSTICK " TRIGGERING MENU"  ----  ITS A POSSIBILITY YOUR " COMMAND " [ THE POSITION WHERE THE ERROR OCCURS ] IS BEING  " DUPLICATED " TRY CHECKING OUT ALL THE MAPPING OF ALL THE OPTIONS [ LIKE ON FOOT , IN VEHICLE ETC. ] YOU COULD CONSIDER 

TEMPORARILY DELETING  " MENU " COMMANDS FROM ALL MAPPING AREAS  AND PUTTING IT BACK ON ONE BY ONE IN THE DIFFERENT 

MAPPING  LISTS  --  I KNOW THAT DUPLICATING OF COMMANDS CAN CAUSE WEIRD RESULTS //   SEE YOU IN WORLD OF TANKS?

Dear EA,

 

I am writing this because I would like to know why my xbox 360 controller will not work on Battlefield 4 now.  When I first got the game it work great! and now after a few Orgin updates it no longer work.  Why is this happening? and are there any fixes you have? I would really like to play Battlefield 4 again and I am terrible with my mouse and keyboard and would like to play this game again.  Honestly I am very heart broken over this and would like to see a fix for this issue.
