| Connect controller |
Controllers can be connected and used to play football life, there is more than one way to connect, commonly using DirectInput or XInput, I prefer and used to connect with (steam XInput) as shown below, controllers can be also connected using a freeware called (DS4Windows)
it is possible to have other controller buttons in the menu using Controller Buttons Addon,
1- run settings.exe, controller tap, and choose the XInput option:

| XInput option in settings |
2- connect the controller to your PC via Bluetooth or USB:

3- open steam and go to: (settings - controller - general controller settings)

DirectInput / DS4
- we prefer steam connect, but it is also possible to connect using a tool called (DS4Windows):
- in this case, steam is not needed, please read this tool information from the source for functionality, and note the following
1. select DirectInput in settings.exe
2. changes might be needed in this file to avoid side console activation (spacebar):
