Five touch layouts on iPhone, four on iPad, three steering modes and a layout editor with three CUSTOM slots. Which to pick, and how to make it your own.
The best touch layout for most players is the default, PRO: a floating stick under your left thumb, JUMP and BOOST on the right, and ROLL L and ROLL R buttons for air roll. If you’re brand new, CASUAL’s bigger buttons and one-tap AERIAL are easier to hit. Then make it yours: set BUTTON SIZE and HANDED, move and resize buttons in the layout editor, and save up to three CUSTOM layouts.
All five are in SETTINGS › CONTROLS › LAYOUT › PRESET. CLAW is iPhone-only, so iPad has four.
| Layout | Buttons | Air roll |
|---|---|---|
| PRO (default) | JUMP, BOOST, ROLL L, ROLL R | ROLL L and ROLL R |
| STANDARD | JUMP, BOOST, DRIFT | Hold DRIFT and push the stick left or right |
| CASUAL | Big JUMP, BOOST and AERIAL buttons, and a bigger stick | None shown (you can add the roll buttons) |
| CLASSIC STICK | JUMP, BOOST, DRIFT, with a FIXED stick | Hold DRIFT and push the stick left or right |
| CLAW | JUMP and DRIFT for your right thumb, BOOST top right and the roll buttons top left, for your index fingers | ROLL L and ROLL R |
With ROLL BUTTONS DRIFT on, as it is by default, the roll buttons drift on the ground and roll the car in the air. Button captions only show for your first three matches.
STEERING sits on SETTINGS › CONTROLS › SCHEME and works with any layout. With DIRECT, the default, THE CAR DRIVES TOWARD WHERE YOU PUSH THE STICK ON SCREEN, and it drifts by itself for sharp turns at speed (more in how to powerslide). With CLASSIC, LEFT AND RIGHT TURN THE CAR, LIKE A CONTROLLER. TILT is experimental: you turn the phone like a wheel, with CALIBRATE and FULL LOCK on its own CONTROLS › TILT page. Start on DIRECT.
There are three slots, CUSTOM 1 to CUSTOM 3. A save goes to the slot you’re editing or the first free one, and when all three are full it replaces CUSTOM 3. To share a layout, tap COPY CODE in TOOLS: it copies a code starting BB1: to send to a mate. To use someone else’s, copy their code, tap PASTE CODE, then SAVE.
BALL FOCUS ON keeps the ball in view, best for reading the play. BALL FOCUS OFF looks where your car points, which the game suggests for aerials and dribbles. Tap the icon top right to switch it, or set FOCUS BUTTON to HOLD. The CAMERA settings page has three presets: PRO (the default), CLOSE (nearer the car, with a narrower view) and WIDE (further back and higher up).
Yes. The left stick steers, the triggers drive and reverse, the bottom button jumps and the right button boosts. Hold the left button to drift, or to air roll with the stick; the shoulder buttons air roll left and right, and the top button switches BALL FOCUS. Buttons can’t be remapped, and the touch controls stay on screen. The full list is on the controls page.
After any change, try it in Free Play before a real match. Then run TRAINING › ADVANCED DRILLS › AIR ROLL, which asks you to HOLD ROLL L (OR DRIFT + STICK LEFT): a quick check that your roll buttons are within reach. The air roll guide covers the rest.
Left-handed? Set HANDED to LEFT before you open the editor: it MIRRORS THE WHOLE LAYOUT FOR LEFT-HANDED PLAY.
