  1. hi need to alter buttons on controller for shifting up and down and when I try it comes up with ‘key bindings missing’. Would like X to be upshift and A for down. Any help out there?
    Thanks in advance.

  2. hi i would like to know if there will be an option to use the keyboard in the xbox one, cause i hate to use the controller and my pc isn’t good enough to play the game on it.
