03 / SETUP

Five-step setup

Set your controls

Open the game’s Command List, pick a control type and verify important actions.

Choose a camera

Use a camera that lets you see passing lanes and keep it consistent.

Check assists

Review passing assistance and Smart Assist; do not change several settings simultaneously.

Practise safely

Try passing, three shots and three defensive match-ups before competitive play.

Review one mistake

Track the main error after a match and focus on it in the next one.

04 / XBOX

Platform-specific advice

Face buttons

A = short pass, Y = through ball, B = lofted pass, X = shot on the corresponding default-style mapping.

Triggers

RT for dash; LT for Match-up, if assigned as shown in your command settings.

Switching

Use LB/right stick for planned player selection rather than constant chasing.

Gamepad

If using Xbox on PC, verify whether the game shows Xbox or PlayStation prompts.

05 / TRAINING

Practical drills

Repeat these in practice mode before playing an important match.

5 min · Passing

Play two safe passes, then a third-man pass. Complete five sequences without sprinting.

5 min · Finishing

Shoot from the same angle ten times, alternating normal and controlled power.

5 min · Dribbling

Release sprint, change direction, accelerate into space. Try one skill at a time.

5 min · Defending

Use midfield cover and early player switching; avoid pulling the centre-back out.

06 / FAQ

Quick answers

Can I use these buttons with a custom configuration?

The table illustrates a default-style mapping. Your in-game Command List takes precedence.
