EA Needs to give us an offline patch and get rid of EA app we bought the game from Steam we don't need another f"cking launcher.

So, I really wish I could recommend this game, but EA did something with it to the point where it's unplayable. I almost beat this game completely way back when it wasn't on Steam, and I had no issues except for the road disappearing from under me (due to slow storage drive) when driving with a fast car. Eventually, I upgraded my PC and decided to give this game another try years later, and playing with a controller became impossible. For some reason, the joystick is the accelerator, and everything is completely messed up. All control options in the game window show different inputs and do different things. I read somewhere that the game thinks the Xbox controller is a steering wheel, and that's why the controls are messed up.

Furthermore, this is not an issue with my controller since I tried 5 different controllers at this point, including an emulator. I tried with the following controllers;

• DualShock 4 PlayStation Controller (Wired + Bluetooth)
• DualSense PlayStation 5 Controller (Bluetooth)
• ASUS ROG Raikiri Controller (Wired)
• Razer Wolverine V1Controller (Wired)
• Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Controller (Wired)
• DS4Windows (Xbox 360 Emulator for PS4 & PS5 Controller)

So, none of those controllers proved to be the issue. The game just read them wrong.

I tried a bunch of online fixes, downloaded a couple of input.dlls, and tried some community controller layout options, but nothing fixed this issue. Unfortunately, this game goes straight into the bin. What a shame. Outside of the poor handling and walking out the cops like dogs, the game was pretty good and well done.

amazing game very similar like nfs underground,also plss for the GOD EA GIVE US OFFLINE PATCH!!!!!!!!!
