I just switched from console, and the gameplay style here is quite different. The controls, the feel of the game, even how the teams behave... everything feels off. What do you think I should focus on first? Like, what are the basics? Is it the physical controls or the in-game tactics that matter more? Any advice for someone coming from console like me?
How to get better at eFootball?

Okay, first try to get used to the touch controls since they work differently on the console. Also, don't expect the ball to fly due to the game's physics—keep it low to the ground.
For players transitioning from consoles, the biggest trap of eFootball is that it ditches realism entirely in favor of a "flow" experience, making the controls confusing at first. The first thing you should do is go into **Settings > Controls > Advanced Mode** and soften the ball touch—this reduces the "stickiness" of your player and gives you more freedom in movement. For touch shots, aim for the lower-middle part of the screen and just swipe without overthinking the sensitivity.
Team behavior isn’t something you master through tactics—you just get used to the team’s "default style." For example, when playing 4-2-3-1, you’ll rely on crowding the midfield and quick switches down the wings—learn this by playing matches. The most eye-opening thing for console players is realizing that the physical controls (touch + joystick) are less about real football physics and more about quick decision-making. Start by making simple passes without losing the ball, then focus on escaping pressure with basic 1-2s.
Think about it, the settling process is necessary at every step, from the menus on the console to selecting a character. For example, spend 1-2 weeks just working on "Basic Training" (which can be repeated), stay away from matches until you've digested the controls. I think focus on how you track the ball, not the result, and then the automatic touches will come. Did these tactics start from the simplest because you're coming from the console and didn't want to struggle?
