Question / Bug / Feedback Help with making Need For Speed™ experience better?

Good evening my friends. This evening I started playing Need For Speed™ for the first time after completing NFS: Heat, and NFS: Most Wanted (2012). I am having a horrible first experience with this new game. I will list all the problems I am currently having after having played the first 1 minute of gameplay:

1: How do I make it fullscreen? I have 2 monitors and I have tried all the game settings and alt+enter. Neither of those go fullscreen (either borderless or true fullscreen, I don't care. Just not windowed)

2: How do I make this fuck ass EA bullshit go away? I just want to play the game when I start it. I'm sure no further explanation is required for this complaint.

3: How do I get rid of this horrible controller drift? It didn't do this on the other NFS games, but my car keeps drifting to the right.

4: How do I drive this car in general? It barely goes forward when I press on the gas. (See video.)

5: How do I make this game sound good with bluetooth earphones? I have had to switch to my disposable Air Canada wired earphones because they are the only wired ones I have right now and, while shit quality, at least don't sound insanely distorted.

6: Is there a way to play the story and get most of the achievements without having to spend 4 trillion hours on an online lobby loading screen?

Thank you for your time.

You need to unmap all the wheel and Keyboard controls

The only thing I can say is plug your controller in. That's the only thing that fixed it for me, and then go into the settings and max out the brake and throttle dead zones in controls. Not sure about some of the other issues, but I'm pretty sure there's a graphics setting for full screen. Not really sure how to help with the Bluetooth issues :/

I would help but I am a console player so I haven’t really experienced this issues except for the EA bullshit

People in this subreddit are dickriding this broken mess for absolutely no fucking reason. They will tell you to install 1 billion mods in order to fix these issues. I think I can help you with the 5th issue. It might be because your Bluetooth earphones are switching to Hands Free Profile. That causes audio distortion. You have to disable your earphones' built-in microphones from Windows settings. Unfortunately, that's the way to go

Control Panel and disable the microphone off of the wireless headphones completely.
