So, let’s dive in and discuss which settings you should turn on to give yourself the best chance at winning games.
EA FC 24 Best Controller Settings
Here are the best controller settings to use in EA FC 24:
Presets & Shooting
| Setting | Option | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Preset | Competitive | Competitive preset is automatically turned on for Online modes. |
| Auto Shots | Off | Auto disabled by Competitive preset. |
| Assisted Headers | Off | Auto disabled by Competitive preset. |
| Shot Assistance | Assisted | The shot direction will be assisted, meaning more of your shots will be aimed towards the goal. |
| Timed Finishing | On (Preference) | Although we say “On,” this is preference. We recommend using it as if you can learn the Timed Finishing mechanics; you are sure to score way more goals. |
Passing
| Setting | Option | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Flair Pass | Off | Auto disabled by Competitive preset. |
| Through Pass Assistance | Semi | Gives the player more control over key passes. |
| Lobbed Through Pass | Semi | Gives you more control over those decisive long passes in key moments. |
| Ground Pass Assistance | Assisted | Ground Passes will be much more accurate. |
| Cross Assistance | Assisted | Crosses are difficult to direct. Assisted will help players be more accurate. |
| Lob Pass Assistance | Assisted | Lob Passes are challenging to direct. Assisted will help players be more accurate. |
| Pass Receiver Lock | Late | Late allows players to quickly change their pass receiver in events where the original receiver cannot retrieve the pass. |
| Precision Pass Sensitivity | Normal | This is a new setting in EA FC 24, and we recommend initially leaving it on normal. As you play the game, you can slowly transition to “High.” This will make passes more responsive and precise, although it will be harder to be accurate. |
Defending
| Setting | Option | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Clearances | Off | Auto disabled by Competitive preset. |
| Clearance Assistance | Directional | It gives more control over where clearances are hit. |
| Jockey | Manual | Auto-selected by Competitive preset. |
| Defending | Tactical Defending | This allows you to time your tackles and maintain position of defending player. |
| Pass Block Assistance | On | AI players will step in to win the ball back when the ball is nearby. |
Switching
| Setting | Option | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Auto Switching | On Air Balls and Loose Balls | It’s better than Ball Relative, as you may want to select a player not near the ball. |
| Auto Switching Move Assistance | None | Other options will keep players moving in position when you switch, giving less control over where you are attempting to move to. |
| Right Stick Switching | Classic | This setting is the one that allows quicker player switching. |
| Right Stick Switching Reference | Player Relative | It’s better than Ball Relative, as you may want to select a player not near the ball. |
| Right Stick Switching Sensitivity | Preference | Determines the best player to switch to depending on the scenario. |
| Next Player Switching | Classic | Turn it off, as it makes player switching too slow. |
| Player Lock | On | If you can learn this mechanic, you will be able to create a ton of chances with the Player Lock. |
| Icon Switching | Off | Turn it off, as it makes player switching too slow. |
Dribbling & Controller Preferences
| Setting | Option | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Contextual Dribbling | Off | Auto disabled by Competitive preset. |
| Orbit Dribbling | Off | We suggest turning this off as the buttons needed are more useful for other mechanics such as sending players on a run. |
| Analog Sprint | Off | With this turned on, it makes it harder to hold the sprint button. |
| Trigger Effect | Off | With this turned on, holding the sprint button is harder. |
| User Vibration Feedback | Off (Preference) | We recommend turning it off to avoid any distracting vibrations. However, it won’t make much difference if you want it on. |
