FIFA 20 Controller Settings

Before anything else, go to the ‘Settings’ tab and enter in ‘Controller Settings’. It’s there where you will find all the Settings which are valid for all game modes.

The FIFA 20 controller settings features three groups which can be accessed using L2/R2 (PlayStation) or LT/RT (Xbox). Let’s analyze each one.
