@JNKVRBL 

Do you have your controller assigned to your Gamertag? I'd recommend removing that option under your Xbox controller settings and also check to see if the controller has the latest update.

A power cycle can help clear up strange errors too. Can you let me know if it helps?

How to power cycle your Xbox console:

1. Turn off the Xbox One console by pressing the Xbox button  on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down completely.
2. Unplug the console’s power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

Important Be sure to wait 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

1. Plug the console power cable back in.
2. Press the Xbox button  on your console to turn on the Xbox One.

Ongoing issue that is occuring in FIFA 21 and FIFA 22, now it appears in NHL 22 (NHL 21 did NOT have this problem)

@DigitalAnvil 

Check if this issue continues to occur if you use a standard controller with no other USB devices attached, thanks.

[DigitalAnvil]

@EA_Barry If I use the regular non-Elite 2 controller, then instead of 3 ghost controllers, there are only 2 detected (The Logitech Harmony may be taking up 2 slots on its own, similar to the Elite 2 controller).

There are no usb devices attached, all are wireless controllers

[JNKVRBL]

it helped thanx

[JNKVRBL]

but today it happen again

I can confirm that the multiple controller bug happens with Elite2 controllers.  We have another thread open in the general forum with other users experiencing the same issue.  Using a non-elite2 controller resolves the issue, however this bug should be fixed as I'm sure all of us that paid $150 for a better controller would prefer to be able to use it.
