I run my PS4 controller through steam instead of DS4Windows. ds4 windows is very buggy in my experience.
After you connect your controller with steam, (make sure u check the xbox controller config option in steam) add origin to your game library in Steam. To use the controller you'll open steam, turn on controller, launch origin through steam, then you are free to launch madden through any of your methods (Frosty, origin, steam, desktop)
Sorry, I didn't see this and came to the conclusion on my own. I made a thread and posted about it because I saw a lot of searching for it. It's amazing that the answer to run it properly is to just use a different product to get to it.
