To get past the bug where opening ME1 suddenly switches you back to mouse and keyboard (with controller non-functional), do the following:
Go to Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings
Now just check the box near the controller type that you have.
Worked 100% fine for me after that.
New name, new look, same great benefits: EA Access and Origin Access are now EA Play.
