Login each controller with different accounts (Don’t login as a guest)
When you choose home/away sides – make sure to connect each controller to EA server.
Create a name, customize your controller and that’s it.

I found the answer now. The problem mostly happened if you have more than one controller. You must set up each controller with the same settings or at least set your controller settings with controller 1 as the default controller. You can go to kick off and set each controller with the same settings. If this still doesn’t work, go to the customize control, and use controller 1 to set up the settings, it should be working.

Also If you want to play tournament mode, first You need to link the controllers with the gamertag into kick off and then go to tournament mode, note: after a will You need to restart the console, because the controllers will be mess up.
These are all the workarounds/solutions that you can try out to fix the FIFA 22 controller settings not saving problem. Hopefully, it works and you can continue playing without any hassle.
