Did you know you can activate 8 different Tactics during a FIFA 20 match using the d-pad?

Since introducing D-Pad Tactics, we’ve seen questions come up about their functionality, and we want to take this opportunity to explain the in-game impact that they can have.

We designed them to give you more on-the-fly control of your tactical setup, and they allow you to modify certain aspects of your play style without having to pause a match.

So let\u2019s take a look at how D-Pad Tactics can impact the game and when you might want to use them.

Note: this article mentions the \u201cd-pad\u201d which refers to the PlayStation 4 directional buttons, the Xbox One D-pad, and the PC keyboard arrow keys.<\/em>

How To Activate D-Pad Tactics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re playing a match, you have the ability to activate attacking and defending D-Pad Tactics.
\n
\nOn PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, pressing up on the D-Pad will display \ntactics related to attacking play. Pressing down will display tactics \ncentered around defensive play. On PC, pressing the up and down arrows \nwill display the attacking and defending D-Pad Tactics, respectively.
\n
\nOnce you press up or down a menu of 4 options will display and now you \ncan press any direction on the D-Pad to activate the accompanying \ntactic, as listed below. You can mix and match any of the D-Pad Tactics \nto best suit your play style and preference.
\n
\nNote that when you activate a D-Pad Tactic it will remain in effect, \nwhere relevant, until you turn it off.* To deactivate a D-Pad tactic, \nyou have to perform the same input used to activate it in the first \nplace.
\n
\n* The only D-Pad Tactic that doesn\u2019t need to be deactivated is Offside \nTrap. The Offside Trap is a temporary action performed by your team\u2019s \ndefenders, as described below.
