Fix: Controller Not Working on PC

The steps to make the controller (gamepad, joystick) work with NBA 2K22 are covered in this guide.

 

 

Method #1

  • Launch the Steam.

 

  • On the top left, click on Steam.

 

  • Go to the Settings.

 

  • Click on the Controller.

 

  • Click on the “GENERAL CONTROLLER SETTING” button.

 

  • Select/Check your gaming controller—for example, PlayStation Configuration Support.

 

  • Then go back and click on the OK button.

 

  • Launch the game and check your controller.

 

 

When should the controller be plugged in?

Before you begin NBA 2K22, make sure the controller is connected. It’s best not to connect it when the game is loading because it might cause problems.

 

 

Reinstalling the drivers

Follow these steps to reinstall the drivers:

 

  • Right-click the Windows start button.

 

  • Select Device Manager.

 

  • Find your controller in the device list.

 

  • Right-click the controller and select Uninstall device.

 

  • Restart the PC with the controller plugged in.

 

  • The drivers will be re-installed automatically.

 

 

Method #2 (DS4 Controller)

  1. Download DS4Windows

To achieve PS4 controller functionality on a PC, you’ll need the help of a piece of online software. That software is called DS4Windows, and as the name suggests, it has been specifically developed for this exact purpose. It works by tricking your PC into thinking that the Dualshock 4 connected is actually an Xbox 360 controller, which is already compatible with a Microsoft product. To download it, head to the DS4Windows website.

 

  1. Set up DS4Windows

The downloaded file should be labeled as ‘DS4Windows.exe’. Click on it, and from here, it’ll begin the set-up process until a pop-up menu appears, asking you to choose where you want your settings and profiles to be saved – all standard stuff. Following this, click the ‘Install the DS4 Driver’ option, and the software will get to work making any plugged-in PS4 controller compatible with Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. If you’re still running Windows 7, you’ll also need to click ‘Install 360 Driver’.

 

  1. Connect your PS4 controller to the PC

It’s what we’ve all been waiting for: Connect your PS4 DualShock 4 controller to your PC or laptop. You can do this using any USB-Micro USB cable or connect the gamepad wirelessly via Bluetooth. Not all PCs and Laptops will have a Bluetooth receiver built-in, but it’s relatively easy to find one that will plug into your set-up.

 

Then it’s just about getting the two to talk as you would do with a Dualshock 4 and PS4 console. Hold the center PlayStation button, and this will force DS4Windows to open its Action Centre – then click ‘Bluetooth’ and select ‘Wireless Controller.’

 

 

Method #3

Download the Xbox 360 Controller Emulator: https://www.x360ce.com/

 

  • Click on the “Download for 64-bit games” button.

 

  • It supports all joystick versions, including the PS4, Logitech controller.

 

  • Run the x360ce_x64.exe application in the NBA 2K22 folder.

 

  • Click on the Create button.

 

  • Extract the zip to the folder where NBA 2K22 is installed.

 

  • Make sure the USB is plugged in.

 

  • Click on the Create button.

 

  • Click on the Next button.

 

  • Click on the Finish button.

 

  • Go to the Game Settings tab.

 

  • Click on the “Apply/Synchronize Settings” button.

 

  • Click on the OK.

 

  • Go to the Controller 1 tab.

 

  • Click on the Save button.

 

  • That’s all; you can play the game now.
