Fifa 16

[Againsthomer]

How can I use the controller in Fifa 16? Fifa 16 and my PC recognize the controller as mouse. So I can´t choose the controller setup in Fifa 16. Can I change somewhere, that my PC and other games recognize the controller as controller?

[Accio]

the people who can play..... is it good to play with steam controller at fifa 16?

isnt bad cuz you dont have the 2 analog stick??? ........

whitout the right analog stick how can you do the high skills dribbling?

one more trick you have to do. During the process when you launch Fifa 16 from the big picture mode on steam link, you have to say "Minimize big picture" after you launch and hidden behind it will be the FIFA 16 launch window, which you can use the steam controller to start the game.

This is with Big Picture, streaming to Steam Link with a Steam Controller.

I had the same problem as most of the people who posted in this topic.
I've discovered that I was starting FIFA (fifa16.exe and fifaconfig.exe) in admin mode, due to some unrelated Origin bug, which was fixed in the mean time.
After revoking admin privileges for the 2 FIFA exe files, @lee-laa's method is currently working for me.
Hope that this helps someone from here!

I've been trying to figure this out for ages but basically what I've done now is change the steam controller desktop settings to a xbox controller and now it works fine in game. can launch it from either origin or steam and it works, just have to sacrifice using the controller as a mouse and keyboard. Hope this helps some of you, also sorry if this has already been said.

I created a launcher to ease the process of launching FIFA through steam. It supports tracking, overlay and big picture mode. It may or may not solve your gamepad issues. I'm not sure as i use the 360 gamepad but it doesn't hurt to try it out. Here's the reddit post. I included the source. https://redd.it/4fzmyw

Finally got it to work. Fifa 16 kept recognizing my steam controller as a joystick and mouse!

1. turn off origin overlay
2. completely exit origin
3. start steam big picture mode
4. use the controller to go to your game library (you should have already entered fifa 16 as a non-steam game)
5. hit the "A" button to start fifa 16.
*6. click on manage shortcut > controller configuration
7. make sure the buttons look like they are configured for xbox 360 buttons and joysticks
I went to BioShock Infinite and looked at the controller configuration and basically made the fifa 16 look just like it. You can have a different configurations for each game you have. If you dont have bioshock infinite, just look at any game you already have on steam that says the steam controller can use it, preferrably a mainstream game thats on many platforms like bioshock or CoD or any xbox or ps4 game. Its easy to map the keys accordingly after that. Might take you like 5 minutes.
8. Enjoy!

i also found a workaround that fixed origin games for me: right click on origin.exe in windows and set compatibility mode settings to Windows 7. Fixed everything for me. I had headaches for a month trying to figure it out before I came across this. I'm on Windows 10.

Thank you man, THANK YOU!!! It worked for me! I dont know why I didnt try this weeks ago, its a pretty basic procedure, but after 4 months of fighting with my steam controller,trying to figure out, why my fifa 16 doesnt recognize it as a controller, it finally does! Again, huge thank you! I dont even now have the bug, when the game saw my controller as two in the same time! :)

Still does not work for me with Fifa 16. Don't know why they not simply put a "simple gamepad" mode that can be enabled in the software and switches the gamepad to map onto a virtual input controller device. The engineers have sucked up. The profiles are way too complicated if they are for non-steam-games. And feels hacky... why not just store and switch the profile on the hw (like CH Products did)?

Can not recommend to buy such a hardware... you should buy simple Xbox-Controller instead and it simply works out of the box with most (if not all) games you'll ever play. The steam controller sucked up with nearly every game that I would play with a controller. Even though the HW itself feels good, the software support makes this a waste of time.

I have the same problem as you and I believe that the issue related to AMD graphics driver. I tried all kinds of ways to resolve the issue and found that the older AMD drivers worked and the the controller stopped working again after AMD updated to a newer version. It appears that Steam does not recognize that the application has started so your steam controller configs for your game will not activate. Also when pressing the steam button to bring up big picture mode results in the game changing to windowed mode but it stays in front of big picture. I still have no solution other than rolling back to older graphics drivers. Games I have tested are BF4 and Starwars Battlefront. Please let me know if you have found a better solution.

This happened to me also, that thing with steam button and BPM. As I said here before, thanks to somebody, fifa 16 now recognizes steam controller as a gamepad properly,because I have put origin.exe into "windows 7 compability mode", and it worked wonderful. I have also AMD beta drivers, but with that compability mode, I dont have any problems with SC or fifa 16 anymore.

Works for me after updat to newest graphics card drivers. (Added origin to steam, deactivated origin overlay and used steam overlay instead, enabled compatibility mode for fifa and origin)

i did everything people say here but still i cant work it out. any help?

**UPDATE**
The Controller actually does work, and it is not a double input. It works exactly the way you'd expect. The only thing I've found is that I cannot do skill games because for some reason it wants me to use the keyboard. But since I have both mappings readily available, it is not a big deal as I just change the mapping from the overlay to practice.

Hey Everyone

After dealing with this for a couple of days, I finally found a solution that works for me. I can't guarantee that it will work for you, but it might be worth a shot.

When I first got my SC, i tried simply running Fifa 16 from Origin and obviously that didn't work. Then I tried to run Fifa16 from steam, added as a non-steam game. Still nothing. Then I tried adding Origin to steam, opening origin from Big Picture Mode and then opening Fifa, still nothing.

I read about all the overlay stuff, the compatibility modes and all that, and finally I decided to simply mimic my controller to the keyboard and that seems to work for me. So here is what I have done.

1. Find the origin.exe, right click it and set it to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7
2. Find the Fifa16.exe and also set it to windows 7 compatibility.
3. I opted for the Origin client beta and got that installed
4. I disabled the origin in-game overlay
5. Close down Origin completely. Then use Steam Big Picture mode to start origin. Doing this will allow you to open the steam overlay in Origin games.
6. Set my controllers in Fifa16 to be keyboard only
7. Go into the fifa settings and see the control layout and then map your controller to the desired keyboard keys.

For example, I have mapped Y as through balls, B as shoot, A for short passes, abd X for lob passes. I sprint with the right clicker, finesse shots is right shoulder. I pretty much mimic the PS4 layout. You can use either the left directional pad or the joystick for player movement.

It isn't perfect, but it lets me play Fifa 16 and Fifa 15 and will likely work with Fifa 17 when it comes out later in September!

I hope someone found this useful.

Also, I have an AMD Graphics card and I am running the newest Crimson drivers.

When I do run Fifa though, it DOES recognise a controller as well I just haven't been able to set up the controls properly because I cannot press "start" on the opening screen.
