This guide covers the complete controller layout for GOALS on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC with a compatible controller. It includes movement, shooting, passing, crossing, defending, goalkeeping, player-support commands, and every skill move listed in the game's Movement & Skills menu.
The main tables use the Standard controller preset, which GOALS identifies as its default layout. The Alternate preset swaps the left and right face buttons: Circle and Square on PlayStation, or B and X on Xbox. Custom controls can differ from both presets.
Verified against the in-game controller menus in GOALS version 1.00.09.0. The official version 1.00.10 patch notes do not list any controller-remapping changes.
