When I try to play the NBA 2K21 Arcade Version game on an Apple TV device, I get the error message that I should connect a PlayStation 4, Xbox Wireless or MFi controller. I get that message when I connect a PlayStation 5 Dual Sense or a Nimbus+ (MFi) controller. Both of these controllers work with this game on my MacBook Pro. I have an Apple TV 4K with tvOS 15.0 and NBA 2K Arcade Version1.20.
Apple TV HD, tvOS 15
BigGrandpaO,
If you followed the steps in Use Bluetooth accessories with your Apple TV and the issue continues, the last steps under "Get help" is to "If you need more help connecting or using a Bluetooth accessory with your Apple TV, contact the manufacturer of the accessory."
We hope they're able to help.
Hello BigGrandpaO,
We see that you need to connect a wireless game controller to your Apple TV. For help with this issue, we recommend checking this out: Connect a wireless game controller to your Apple device & Use Bluetooth accessories with your Apple TV.
Cheers!
I don't have any problems connecting the noted controllers to Apple TV and using the controllers to navigate Apple TV, play another game, or start the NBA 2K21 Arcade Version game. However, soon after starting the NBA 2K21 game the noted error message that I should connect a controller appears. Maybe this is a problem with NBA 2K21 Arcade Version on Apple TV.
NBA 2K21 is my grandson's favorite game. So I would like to be able to play it on my big screen 4K HDR TV, instead of just on my MacBook Pro.
