How to Fix Controller Not Working issue in NBA 2K23
Problems not recognizing the controller in NBA 2K23 may be related to other USB devices connected to your computer or Steam's input settings. If you have no idea what to do, pursue the troubleshooting steps below to fix the problem.
Disconnect all USB & wireless devices
Firstly, disconnect/unplug all USB and wireless/BlueTooth devices like the controller, steering wheel, pedals, keyboard, mouse, headset, and mic.
