Controller Menu Commands
- Quick skip loading screens: On
- Manual targeting: On
- Casual mode: Off
- Easy countering: On
Enabling Manual targeting is quite viable when playing tag team matches. It allows you to have efficient control and manage multiple wrestlers or managers with a single button.
Furthermore, switching off the Casual mode can help you manually use a wrestler's preferred move without the AI choosing it. If turned on, it randomizes your movements, so you don't keep seeing the same move when pressing the same button.
The AEW Fight Forever menu also includes a Jukebox where you can customize a playlist of the tracks. Furthermore, on the Edit Profile option, you can customize your profile with the various badges. It includes an option to customize your icon and add decals to weapons so that you can personalize them.
