RFC 27 Mobile Controls & Controller Prompts

Last updated:

Find the touch buttons for attacking and defending in RFC 27, then learn how to aim, request a pass and change the camera.

Attacking touch controls with the joystick, sprint, through, pass and shoot buttons
Quick Answer

On mobile, move with the left joystick and use the buttons for your current situation: PASS to pass, CALL to request the ball, hold and release SHOOT to shoot, and TACKLE or SLIDE to challenge an opponent. Use CAM to change the camera. PlayStation-style prompts show R2 for sprint, Circle for tackle and Square for slide.

Controller Prompts and Camera Changes

With PlayStation-style prompts, use R2 to sprint, Circle to tackle and Square to slide. The directional pad controls the camera.

On a touch screen, tap CAM or CÂMERA to change the view. In the camera tutorial, switch to the TV view and then switch back to the original view.

Pass, Aim and Ask for the Ball

When you have possession, use PASS or PASSE to send the ball to a teammate. If AIM STICK · HOLD PASS appears, aim with the stick and hold PASS. The attacking interface also has THROUGH for a through ball; LONG can appear on the passing aim screen.

When a teammate has the ball, use CALL to request a pass. Your player raises a hand and CALLING! appears; the teammate can still choose to continue the attack instead of passing. If a match prompt tells you to use PASS to ask for the ball, follow that prompt.

Hold, Aim and Release to Shoot

  1. With the ball, hold SHOOT, labeled ATIRAR in Portuguese.
  2. Point the joystick toward your target.
  3. Release the shooting button to take the shot.

In the shooting tutorial, aim for the highlighted green corners of the goal.

Chase, Tackle and Slide

Move toward the opposing ball carrier and use SPRINT when you need to accelerate. Once close, use TACKLE to challenge for possession or SLIDE for a sliding tackle. Either action is an attempt, so it does not guarantee that you will win the ball.

TIRED indicates low stamina; see match flow and stamina indicators for the other match prompts.
