With the impending update of eFootball mobile around the corner, Konami has updated their website to inform players about eFootball mobile new controls.

eFootball mobile new controls are designed to reflect updates in the gameplay. This new system is designed to give players a lot more control over gameplay.

The new controls are a bit of a handful but as soon as you can wrap your thumbs around them, they are simple to follow. All that would be left is for you the player to use the skills and apply them at the best possible times.

eFootball Mobile new controls

The new controls for eFootball are separate for the two main control styles (classic and advanced).

For the uninitiated, the classic controls are setup in the traditional gaming style. It makes use of a directional pad and four multi-buttons. These buttons are pass, through, dash and shoot (for attack) and switch, pressure, tackle and dash (for defense).

The advanced controls on the other hand dumps buttons entirely and replaces them with touches and flicks.
