I don't know what controller you are using but the trick is to start the controller after you started FIFA 16. If you start the controller before, it's always the second controller.Don’t know how I did it but I once was controller 1 and saved my setup. Now I can only be controller 2. 🤷♂️
In Origin i turned on and off online mode a couple of times. The game starts both ways anyway. I once got a message in origin some setting need saving and so I did locally.
Don’t really get all that to 100% if I’m honest. 🤷♂️
and I’m coming from option files so it’s not all new stuff to me.
