Q: Does fifapadconfig work with EA FC 24?
A: Not directly, but tools like DS4Windows and FIFA Live Editor achieve the same result.
Q: Is editing fifapadconfig considered cheating?
A: No. It only changes controller mapping, not gameplay mechanics. EA allows custom controller configurations.
Q: Can I use fifapadconfig to enable keyboard as a gamepad?
A: Yes, by using x360ce to map keyboard keys to virtual Xbox buttons, but it’s less practical.
Q: My fifapadconfig is missing. How do I create one?
A: Download a template from FIFA modding forums (e.g., FIFA Infinity) or use the sample in this article. fifapadconfig
Q: Will a future FIFA update break my fifapadconfig?
A: In older games (pre-FIFA 17), no. In newer titles, an update may reset registry keys. Always keep a backup.

Create separate [Controller_Player1] and [Controller_Player2] sections for local co-op.
Although the tool is not officially included in newer titles, its logic is still relevant for:
| Problem | Solution |
| :--- | :--- |
| Tool doesn't detect my pad | Install generic USB gamepad drivers. Use joy.cpl (Windows Run command) to verify detection first. |
| Buttons are swapped (A/B, X/Y) | Manually remap them in FIFAPadConfig. Do not rely on default presets. |
| Right stick does nothing (No skill moves) | Under "Axes", ensure "RZ" and "Z" are assigned to Right Stick X/Y. Often, the tool defaults them to throttle/brake. |
| Changes don't save | Always run fifapadconfig.exe as Administrator. Also disable read-only on the game folder. |
| Triggers act as buttons (not analog) | That is correct for old FIFA. Pre-FIFA 11 treated LT/RT as digital buttons. Upgrade to FIFA 12+ for analog triggers. | Last updated: 2025 – For FIFA 09 to EA Sports FC 24
With EA Sports FC 24, EA has officially embraced PC as a primary platform, yet the fifapadconfig legacy remains. The game now uses a more complex input system stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\EA SPORTS FC 24\ under a binary .dat file. However, the community continues to release tools like FIFA Mod Manager and Live Editor that include graphical interfaces for controller remapping – effectively a modern fifapadconfig GUI.
Save the file, set to Read-Only (to prevent FIFA from overwriting it), and launch the game.
If FIFAPadConfig doesn’t work, you can edit devdata.dat with a hex editor or plain text (though it’s binary). Some community scripts convert it to readable .ini format. For most users, the GUI tool is sufficient.
Plug in your USB gamepad before launching fifapadconfig.exe.
