Controller Settings: Most Important Changes

Competitive Master Switch: On

The Competitive Master Switch is activated in online modes like FUT Champions by default. You should turn it on anyway, so you'll always "train" in the competitive style.

FIFA Trainer: Hide

The FIFA Trainer is something for beginners, so you should turn it off. If you'd like to train some specific things like Timed Finishing or Power Shots, you can adjust the FIFA Trainer in a match, so it only shows the things you want it to show.

Timed Finishing: On

Activate Timed Finish. You have to get used to not spamming the shot button as soon as there's a loose ball in the box, but it can be very effective for you in front of the goal, and you should practice with it.

Player Lock: On

With the Player Lock, you can control any player you want like your striker and create an individual run, if you're in possession. When you're controlling a player who hasn't got the ball, the computer controls the player in possession. In case you don't use it, like most people actually, it doesn't matter whether you have it turned on or off, because it doesn't disrupt your game.


Right Stick Switching: Classic

Adaptive is the default setting here. That does actually make sense, because you can select a player who is further away from the action by simply holding the right stick longer. Unfortunately, this often causes lags. With classic, you simply have to flick your right stick more often to select the player who is further away.

Save Assistance: Assisted

Just something to help your goalkeeper.

User Vibration Feedback: Off

Let's be honest, vibration doesn't bring any advantages. Simply turn it off.

Trigger Effect: Off

Same thing here. It's just annoying. There's just no point making things harder for yourself.

Try these settings and let us know how they work for you!
