Having problems getting those microsoft drivers to work right?
If you have XBCD drivers, the process goes a little smoother.
So here's my NHL preset setup buttonmapping so that the buttons and sticks in the game are the buttons and sticks on your controller.
when you open XBCD, there's a button to load a profile, do it, you may have to unplug your controller, but plug it back in after a sec, and you should be good to go.
