The control mapping is absolutely terrible. And having just found out you can't remap the controls to make manual gears actually usable, well, I have to wonder who thought this was a good design choice. It's not, it's dreadful. Since I'm only playing the trial of this game, through EA access which I shan't be renewing after this first month anyway, you really haven't done yourselves any favours whatsoever in convincing me to actually buy the game.
I'm not going to buy the game when the trial expires and if customisable control mapping isn't introduced into the game then I'm afraid I won't be buying it, period. 🤷♂️

Bought this on Steam... didn't race a thing since it won't work with a joystick controller.
Returned.
Brain dead developer.

I agree as a life long player of the NFS franchise since the early 1990's this Heat game for Control Mapping is totally useless.
We just got the June 2020 update but no fix on this mapping for our controllers.
I just laughed when I read the full update thread for June 2020 and seen that Cross-play was added but the obvious issues not fixed still.
Well, I hope the next game will have this control Mapping issues addressed along with the other complaints Heat got since it hit the market day one.
The Heat game has been a total bust in sales and has received so many complaints EA has moved on and so did the Ghost Devs over to Criterion

This says volumes about EA in their loss of sales for creating games that have been missing the features gamers expect day one when released.
Have a good day.

EA clearly doesn't read any of this. People shouldn't be requesting such basic features in 2020, especially if it was an option in earlier games - regardless of the studio that made it.
I've uninstalled this way before my 10 hour trial ended.

Same here... played 10 minutes, looked cool, but not being able to change mapping is just absurd, have no desire to continue with it.

We are almost in 2021 and it seems the problem isn’t fixed yet. I couldn’t play more than the first run. Awful non-customisable controllers and a weird drive style and gameplay. That’s why Forza is so much better than NFS.

Something so simple, yet a must for a racing game. Not surprised EA Fail to do the basics. How sad and disappointing that this wasn't dealt with post release.
