How to change control scheme on Lego Games
Solution 1:
Here is what you need to do to to fix the problem on Xbox One:
Press both the 2 small round buttons below the big button in the middle of the controller. This will bring up the Xbox 360 settings.
go to settings tab - profile - game defaults - action.
here you can switch the settings for the controller. Just switch the movement to the left stick instead of the right stick.
I'm sure the process is similar for fixing the problem on 360. This was killing me for a long time! In fact I uninstalled the game due to this issue but recently reinstalled it for my son and was able to fix the problem ( by pure luck of hitting both buttons at the same time). Doesn't help that there is pretty much nothing online that tells you about or how to fix this issue.
