CONTENTS COMPLETE CONTROLS 5 THE NEW KICK OFF 25 THIS YEAR IN FIFA 17 CAREER 26 STARTING THE GAME 18 SKILL GAMES 27 PLAYING THE GAME 19 PRACTICE ARENA 27 THE JOURNEY 21 ONLINE 28 FIFA ULTIMATE TEAM (FUT) 22 FIFA 19 on PC allows you to play the game on a variety of control devices. For the best experience, we recommend using the Xbox One Wireless Controller. The controls listed throughout the manual assume that you are using a Xbox One Wireless Controller. If you’re using a different gamepad controller, note that in the FIFA Launcher, if you select GAME SETTINGS > BUTTON ICONS, you can toggle between numeric and the , , , style of icons. If you are a keyboard or keyboard and mouse player, FIFA 19 on PC also allows you to see keyboard icons/keys in-game. This is defined when you launch the game and reach the screen that says, “Press START or SPACE”. This defines your default control device. If you have an Xbox One Wireless Controller and press the Menu button at this point, you will see the button icons that you’ve selected in the previously mentioned FIFA Launcher. If you press SPACEBAR on this screen, you will see keyboard icons represented throughout. When editing control mappings in-game, note that whatever device you advance with to enter the Controller Settings screens is the device that the game allows you to adjust your control mappings for. For example, you may have set your default device as a controller but if you press ENTER to go into Controller Settings, you will see screens related to keyboard and mouse control settings. You can also toggle between Keyboard + Mouse and Keyboard Only as your control device on the Controller Settings screen. 2 KEYBOARD + MOUSE CONTROLS In FIFA 19, you can choose to use keyboard and mouse to play the game. This design allows for keyboard players to experience features in the game such as skill moves, pointing to open space for through balls, creating run paths for teammates, and man marking on defense. NOTE: These are the default Classic Controls. Alternate and two-button are also available. You can customise key mappings to Actions by selecting the key you want to adjust and pressing ENTER. However, the following keyboard and mouse buttons are hard-coded and cannot be changed: left-click, right-click, scroll wheel, mouse, and R.
