FC 27 Controls: Every Button, Skill Move & Celebration
The whole FC 27 controls menu, split the way the game splits it — every input animated, PlayStation and Xbox.
Every control in EA FC 27 — all 416 entries across 24 pages of the game's own menu, every input animated, switchable between PlayStation and Xbox. The game splits its controls three ways, and so do we:
New in FC 27
FC 27 adds 42 entries to the menu and renames 10 more — but not a single carried-over input changed, so everything your hands learned in FC 26 still works. The highlights:
- 13 new skill moves, each with its own guide
- A set-piece tactics system on D-pad up, two new throw-in controls, and 8 new celebrations

Pro Clubs controls, in one place
These pages cover the whole menu as it appears in Clubs — Be A Pro pages included, which most control lists skip. Basic controls run from the simple attacking page to goalkeeping and set pieces; skill moves are gated by your pro's skill-star rating, an attribute you buy with AP like any other; celebrations include both unlockable sets. Every input on every page is played for you rather than written out, and the dock remembers whether you play on PlayStation or Xbox.
What actually changed this year
Less than the headlines suggest, and more than nothing. The set-piece tactics system is the structural change: free kicks and corners take pre-set player instructions from D-pad up, and the corner-tactics menu itself moved there from D-pad down — the one change that will genuinely fight your muscle memory. Throw-ins gain shielding and avoidance. The 13 new skill moves run from a one-star fake shot to five-star flourishes, and the celebration pages pick up 8 new entries. A handful of actions changed name without changing input. Everything else — movement, shooting, passing, defending, goalkeeping, penalties, and every carried-over skill move — is performed exactly as it was in FC 26.
PlayStation and Xbox
Every input here is stored once and rendered for your pad: the dock at the bottom of each list switches between PlayStation and Xbox, between coloured and white buttons, and between the game's own wording and a simplified reading. Set it once and every page remembers.
