Hello,
I have bought need for speed 2015 yesterday and have been playing it with the controller (Dualshock 4) and had no problems until today. Whenever I try to drive with controller car acts weird (will not accelerate to its full potential, won't go back or in case of dodge viper it does burnouts in reverse). I tried re-calibrating my controller, reinstalling my drivers, tried it on other games and it had no problems either (BF4) and even tried to rebind acceleration to X on my controller (to make sure that it wont accidentally press) yet problem did not disappear. My controller is new I bought it two days ago and I am sure it is need for speed's fault, I would greatly appreciate if you can help me to fix this problem.
Thank you.

Note that the PS4 controller is not on the officially supported controller list.

Hello Support team,
I just bought a new NFS deluxe edition and play for a few hours, then I have encountered that my car couldn't accelerate properly it reached 3rd gear and can't go faster or gear up to 4th gear, also when I just pressed accelerate my car keeps bending a little bit right even if I didn't try to go right. When I tried to move backward my car stops moving (I used Xbox controller connect to laptop via bluetooth). I look for car repairing at the fuel station and found spanner symbol it kind of did something but the problems still there. It's very frustrating please help.
I noticed that before issue I can see the button in game showing the same with Xbox controller but after issue happened the button in the game still showing like keyboard button even though I'm using Xbox controller.

@cooletsexyAfter spending the whole night searching for a solution, finally i've found one.... Windows detects the xbox one s controller as a Xinput device. Keyboard an steering wheel are directinput devices. In order to prevent NFS to mix up the controls, you have to "block" all direct input devices. The dinput8.dll in the Solution will block all direct input devices.
Solution:
1. Download the .zip file from here: https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/588-directinputxinput-games-test-tools/
2. Unzip/Extract "Controller API.7z\Disable DInput\dinput8.dll"
3. Drag and drop this file into your game folder PATH\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed
4.Restart/Start your game
You may get low fps at first start (i got 15 fps and like 0.5 second delay in controls)
I just simply disabled vsync and restart the game.
And now everything works fine ^^

I fixed the problem by unbinding all keyboard and wheel controls. You can unbind the wheel controls by pressing any button (preferably unused) on your gamepad.
Just to make your problem is solve is to check if you have xbox control prompt instead of keyboard. Played for 7 hrs with no controller issues
