Movement feels too sensitive
Open Club, choose Control setup, and switch Button size to Standard. Keep your movement thumb inside the left control zone and lift it fully to stop.
Quick help
Stay in control of the match
PAWB is designed for two-thumb play in landscape. These are the fastest fixes for the issues most likely to interrupt a match.
A shot starts while moving
The shot control is on the action side. Movement alone does not charge a shot. Press and hold SHOT only when you want the aiming guide, then drag to place the finish.
I need my keeper
When defending, tap the keeper control to take direct command near your goal. Use Switch for the nearest outfield defender and Press to ask a teammate to close down.
The action controls are in the way
Control setup lets you swap sides, choose Compact targets, and reduce the HUD to Subtle. The playable field remains the visual priority.
Match controls
Build the play, then finish it
- Move and sprint. Steer with the movement control. Hold RUN when space opens; releasing it gives you tighter close control.
- Pass into space. Tap PASS for a quick ball. Hold and aim when you need a through ball beyond the nearest defender.
- Shape the shot. Hold SHOT to charge, drag toward the target, and release. Lower power improves placement; higher power is harder for keepers to hold.
- Defend deliberately. Use Switch to select the useful defender, Press to add controlled pressure, and Tackle only when the ball is exposed.
- Change the match plan. Tap the compact tactic control beside the score to cycle Balanced, High Press, and Counter during play.
Troubleshooting
Local co-op and saved progress
Connect two devices
Put both devices on the same trusted Wi-Fi network. On the host, open Club, Multiplayer, then Host match. On the other device, choose Join match and enter the host address and six-digit room code.
Allow local network access
If iOS asks, allow PAWB to find devices on the local network. If it was denied, open iOS Settings, Privacy & Security, Local Network, then enable PAWB.
Progress is stored on-device
Coins, cat training, cup progress, records, and control preferences are stored locally. Deleting the app also deletes that local progress.
Report a gameplay problem
Include your device model, iOS version, match mode, control setup, what happened, and the steps that reproduce it. A screenshot or short recording helps.
