The xbox controller vibrates. Some wheels have force feedback. That means there is a motor instead of a spring that alter the resistance in the wheel. It can also move the wheel by itself. So when you drive on uneven surfaces like gravel road you really have to hang onto the wheel. Basicly forcefeedback simulates the behaviour of a real car. Highly recommended along with a TrackIR in ETS2.

So it's just vibration ? why call it force feedback then

Taken from google:

Force feedback takes cues from the game to provide an opposing force in the wheel, and will feel more real. For example, if you are making a hard left turn, and your car hits a bump in the left tire, the wheel will force itself to turn a little to the right (like in a real car). With a vibration wheel, the wheel will simply vibrate when you hit the bump.

Force feedback controllers are generally more expensive than vibration controllers because they have several motors and servos to control the direction and severity of the force. Vibration controllers generally only have 1 tiny motor, with a simple counterweight to make the controller vibrate.

I use a G27 with H shifter so I don't use xbox controllers etc. but uh.. I'm not sure if you're using an Xbox360 controller or an XB1 controller so:

XB1: http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/541907867790900215/
