Single Handed PS4 FIFA Setup | How to… Video

0:03 Here at SpecialEffect we are often asked for ways people can play using a standard controller

0:07 for single handed use In this video we are going to be looking at

0:10 how you play FIFA with an official PS4 controller for single handed use by remapping buttons

0:16 and sticks and by also adding external accessibility switches

0:19 We will be looking at right handed play, and then we’ll be looking at left handed play

Standard Controls

0:31 So, lots of the people that we meet have already found ways to play by using their right hand

0:36 This can include reaching across to the left stick for player movement,

0:40 or perhaps by holding the controller up to their chin and using the left stick

0:44 with their chin and the right hand to press the buttons

0:47 This video will hopefully give you a few different ideas of ways that might be able to make gaming

0:51 a little bit easier So standard controls for FIFA are to use the

0:56 left stick for player movement and the face buttons for various passes and shots

1:01 To make it so you can use the right stick for player movement, we’re just going to

1:05 go back to the accessibility options Going down to Button Assignments, Customise

1:21 Button Assignments and then it’s just a case of swapping the sticks over

1:27 If you now just press confirm and the sticks should be swapped

1:35 So for right handed play, the face buttons are still acting as pass and shoot, R2 would

1:41 still be sprint, but we’re using the right stick for player movement

Automatic Controls

1:49 If reaching L1 is difficult to be able to switch player in FIFA, there are ways to set

1:53 this up to do it automatically So it’s just a case of going back into the

1:57 menu’s of the game, going over to the Customise settings and into Settings there’s Customise

2:06 Controls and there’s Auto Switching, which at the moment is automatically set to Air

2:12 Balls. We can move that across to Automatic. This would mean that you wouldn’t have

2:17 to press L1. If you’d still like to be able to use L1,

2:19 it might be that having external switches positioned somewhere where you can press them could help you to be able to do this

External Switches

2:28 There are a whole range of different adapters

2:30 and switch interfaces that you can use to get external switches working with a games

2:34 console For this video we are going to be using a

2:37 Cross Hair adapter, Don Johnston Switch Interface and a Buddy Button working alongside a PlayStation

2:45 4 controller Here we are using an external switch which

2:50 we have mapped to act as L1, which is change player

2:54 You can set this button to act as any button that you may find difficult on the controller

3:00 So you can map more buttons to act as other controller functions, such as pass or shoot,

3:04 so you can leave your thumb on the stick

3:06 These can be placed where you might find easier to press

Left Handed Play

3:15 So now we will have a look at setting up FIFA for left handed play, by swapping over the buttons

3:20 So for left handed play, pressing the face buttons can be a bit difficult

3:25 So what you can do is map the face buttons over to the D-Pad

3:29 I’ll just show you how you can do this now in the accessibility settings. So it’s just

3:35 back to settings. Accessibility, Button Assignments and Customise Button Assignments

3:50 So we will map the face buttons over to the D-Pad like for like. So

3:55 up on the D-Pad will be Triangle. Down on the D-Pad will be X. Left will be square and

4:10 right will be circle. You can also map over L2 to R2, so that L2 will

4:18 become sprint. So now I’ve swapped the buttons over,

4:29 left stick is still player movement D-Pad is acting as pass and shoot and I can

4:35 use L2 for Sprint. If you wanted to keep the sprint button where

4:40 it is, so that you can continue to use L2, you could map this button to act as Sprint

4:46 Here we’re using is with the foot. So using the adapters and switch interfaces

Outro

4:58 you can try a variety of different controllers, button layouts and switches you can find the best set up

5:03 that works for you We hope this video has been helpful and please

5:06 do get in touch if there is something we can do to help. Thanks for watching.
