Workarounds for these bugs:

1. Button gets stuck in a direction
The game didn't detect you released that button and thinks it's still held down. Simply press that exact same button again (Ex: Press right on the dpad, analog stick, right bumper, etc). The game will now see it was released and properly stop it.

2. After a controller disconnects, one or more controllers stop responding.
This is a bit finicky, simply unplug any working controllers and plug them back in again. Might have to press B and then Start to log out and select the profile again. But popping controllers in and out should fix that bug of them not working.
