I downloaded this tutorial, it worked with Fifa 2006 &2007.
This is from a word document which I could not attach to this post so I copied it and posted it as is I hope you can make sence of it.
Gamepad Configuration
a tutorial by Rinaldo Zocca
This tutorial explains how to configure your gamepad modifying the file devdata.dat.
Step 1: Know the name of your gamepad
First thing to do is to see the name of your gamepad, go in the control panel and search the name of your gamepad: in the example I have “Logitech DualAction USB”
Step 2: open the devdata.dat
Now you should find the devdata.dat. Go in the folder FIFA 06\user under your Documents folder. It should be there. If you have not a devdata.dat then it will be used the devdata.dat in the folder \EA SPORTS\FIFA 06\data\input uder your Programs folder. Open the file with notepad.
Step 3: find your gamepad or add it
All the names of the gamepads recognized by FIFA are listed between two square brackets, eventually separated by vertical bars. Search your gamepad. Pay attention that the name must be exactly the same that you have seen in the control panel, for example if you find
[Logitech Dual Action|Logitech Dual Action (US
|Logitech Dual Action USB]
It is not the same as “Logitech DualAction USB” because ther is a space between Dual Action (this is what happened to me!)
If you don’t find the name of your gamepad don’t worry. Simply add a line inserting the name of your gamepad like this
[Name of my gamepad]
Step 4: uderstanding and modifying the data structure
Now you can see same data below the name of a gamepad. I have coulored them in order to recognize them better:
[Logitech Dual Action|Logitech Dual Action (US
|Logitech Dual Action USB]
DEADZONES=0.3,0.3,0.3
2|24|3,2|25|4,5|26|5,5|27|6,1|22|5,1|23|6,0|20|3,0|21|4,0|1

2|24|3,2|25|4,5|26|5,5|27|6,1|22|5,1|23|6,0|20|3,0|21|4,0|1
21,0|19|22,0|16|19,0|17|20,0|3|2,1|2|2,2|1|2,3|0|2,4|10|2,5|13|2,6|11|2,7|14|2,9|

9|2,10|12|2,11|15|2
The line
DEADZONES=0.3,0.3,0.3
defines the sensibility of the gamepad and usually you can keep the default values without problems.
The blue stream is used for navigating the menu. The green stream is used for playing. The Red one I don’t know. There is not any reason to have them different, so you can replicate the same stream three times
Now let’s go to see the stream structure, they are triplets of numbers separated by commas. The numbers themselves are separated by vertical bars. The 2nd and 3rd number of each triplet identify a special function in the game as described in the following table.
Standard key Function 2nd and 3rd number
W Through Ball \GK Charge 0|2
D Shoot\Conservative tackle 1|2
S Pass\Switch Player 2|2
A Cross\Long pass\Sliding tackle 3|2
Escape Escape
2
5 numericpad Change mentality 9|2
Q Trigger run 10|2
Z Cancel\Dummy move 11|2
Unknown 12|2
E Sprint 13|2
C Pace control\Walk defense 14|2
Shift First touch 15|2
20|3
21|4
22|5
23|6
24|3
25|4
26|5
27|6
16|19
1720

21
19|22
The first number of each triplet is the “identifier” of a control on your gamepad. Changing the first number of a triplet you change the control assigned to a specific function.
Unfotunately the control “identifier” is not a standard and so the only way to proceed to try.
Let’s see an example
2|24|3,
2|25|4,
5|26|5,
5|27|6,
1|22|5,
1|23|6,
0|20|3,
0|21|4,
0|1
21,
0|19|22,
0|16|19,
0|17|20,
0|2|2, Assign key 0 to Pass\Switch Player
1|0|2, Assign key 1 to Through Ball \GK Charge
2|3|2, Assign key 2 to Cross\Long pass\Sliding tackle
3|1|2, Assign key 3 to Shoot\Conservative tackle
4|10|2, Assign key 4 to Trigger run
5|13|2, Assign key 5 to Sprint
6|11|2, Assign key 6 to Cancel\Dummy move
7|14|2, Assign key 7 to Pace control\Walk defense
9|
2, Assign key 9 to Escape
9|2, Assign key 8 to Change mentality
10|12|2, Assign key 10 to Unknown
11|15|2 Assign key 11 to First touch
Now you can start to modify the data according to your preferences. When you start the game you will have your gamepad enabled and with the default setting that you have choosen.
Good luck!
