More ways to play
On Android and iPhone
The phone game is the same career as on Windows, laid out for a small screen and a thumb.
The hub on a phone#
The main sections are along the bottom of the screen and the rest are under More. A Coming up card on Home shows your next event and how you did there before.
Matches by touch#
- Hold & release: tap a bed to pick it, then hold Throw and let go in the bright band.
- Cursor: tap the board to put the ring there, or drag to nudge it, then Throw.
- Targeting: tap a bed to throw at it, or Throw for the coach’s call.
- Pinch to zoom in on the board. Your zoom comes back after your opponent’s visit. Zoom.
- Speed sets the speed of your throws and your opponent’s.
Settings for the phone#
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Continue button | Puts Continue at the bottom, above the tabs, or at the top, out of the way of your thumb. |
| Pause for actions | Continue stops at each thing that needs you and says what it is. |
| Landscape matches | Turns the phone sideways for matches. |
| Frame rate | Limits the match renderer to save battery. |
| Interface scale | Makes text and panels bigger or smaller. |
Your photo#
Use a photo from your phone as your player’s headshot.
Data packs#
On a phone, mods are called data packs. Main menu → Data packs → Import a data pack, then pick the zip. Each pack shows its banner, icon and what it adds, with a switch to turn it on or off. A phone has no mods folder and no Mod Studio: packs are made on a computer. Data packs and mods.
Saves#
Export a career from Load Career to keep a copy or move it to another device. On Android, Save to phone puts the file in a folder you choose. Saves and updates.
Not on phones#
The 3D character creator, the large 3D arenas and walk-ons, Online Co-op, the Mod Studio and Steam features such as achievements and the Workshop are on Windows only.
