Cannot get Steam Controller to work with FIFA16 (Origin)
I recently bought a Steam Controller and it works very well with all the Steam games and features. Some days ago I bought FIFA16 and, as you probably know, it is an EA game accessible only by Origin.
I'm really struggling to get the steam controller to work properly with FIFA16. I already added both origin and fifa16 as non-steam games and I also made sure to uncheck conflicting origin settings.
The problem is that, even if I managed to use the most voted controller configuration on steam (big picture), when I get into the game and I start a new match the commands won't work. Also, I can't change them from FIFA16 and FIFA16 doesn't see my Controller, it just sees mouse+keyboard or only keyboard.
How can I solve this?

For this problem there is a workaround.
- In Origin-settings disable origin-ingame(the overlay)
- shut down origin
- add fifa16.exe from your installation directory to steam via "add a non-steam game to steam"
- start the recently added fifa16.exe from Steam.
Now the Steam overlay should work ingame and you can setup your Steam Controller

See this comment on Steam Community Forum.
Basically what the poster suggests is to turn the steam controller desktop settings to an XBox controller.
The settings the poster is talking about I believe are here: Big Picture mode -> Settings (the gear symbol at the upper right) -> Controller (category) -> Configurations -> Desktop Configuration.
I do not own a Steam Controller myself, so I can't really check if this works though. Keep in mind you will lose the keyboard and mouse support with this setting on.
Please let me know if this worked.
