Is there any way to make it show proper controller prompts? I was eventually able to make it recognize my PS4 controller, but it still showed keyboard prompts.

The issue is that both steam and the game have their own controller support, by default steam wins out and your controller is recognized as a keyboard and mouse using steams universal controller support, this makes the game horrible (no aim assist/controller acceleration/Keyboard prompts/ sensitivity mapped to mouse setting ect..)

To fix right click on Star wars battlefront in steam library/ then properties/ then controller tab/ then set to 'disable steam input'--- then the controller worked great

note that on controller disconnect/inactivity the controller configs will swap back to steam requiring a game reset to switch back.

Just tried that, and it disabled controller input completely.

After that you go to the top left in steam and click view>big picture mode>settings>controller settings and make sure that there is no check mark and it will work

That actually worked. I'm confused since it wouldn't register my controller until I enabled steam input, but I won't question it. Thank you.

This was very helpful and I did the same 'disabling' in both the steam and big picture windows and was able to have my controller recognized and the prompts change to accommodate the controller - I have a Switch Pro controller I've had no problem with in other games. However, the configuration for the buttons is totally off and even the control pad and movements are inverted, making the game impossible to play. Any guidance?

I have a USB version of an N64 controller(which I prefer to more modern controllers). I may have to delve into this kind of setting, although the controller works well with some other games I have. Just not this one.
I wish I could get my flight stick to work with it... I can't fly with mouse/keyboard.

unfortunately, every time I turn steam input off, it turns itself back on

you don't even need to disable anything, just change the controller Settings Templates from Keyboard and mouse to gamepad and apply it (fixed my issue)
