How do you play it, against other players i assume. Is there a lobby system or what?

Its just rapid fire 3 on 3 to start. You control 1 person. Everyone only plays as themselves. Every point you swap positions so you rotate goalie. Matches are fast. Like 5-6 min. Arcade sports done right with a lot of nuance.

Cool, sounds fun. May try it out, it's on Game Pass after all.

Glad to see people are enjoying this. I thought it looked really cool.

did not think you could fuck up futsal but they managed it.
how the hell are you supposed to score from an assist if first you are looking at the teammate and then to shot you are supposed to completely switch your visual to the goal and aim?

only way I managed to make it work was focusing only on the goal and pray that the ball arrives

Did you know, that only shooting requires the crosshair, passing does not. You just push the stick towards the goal. This allows you to be looking at a team mate and hand off the ball behind you, to your left, etc, without using the crosshair.

... you can also score using this method, and its very effective, you just don't get a chance to add spin.

Does it have couch co-op like versus or even two people playing online together from the same console? Pretty sure I remember doing this with Rocket League.

Currrently no, and I don't think it's on the devs mind any time soon.

This is where positioning comes into play and you hope for a good delivery

That's basically what I was doing, but most of the time your teammate either does not pass or loses the ball, and you stay a couple seconds in front of the net hoping for a pass that will never come and lose time you should be spending tracking back.

In a way I get what they were trying yo do, managing your "sight" is a big thing when you actually play football.
But in football the bet is always in the same place, you do not need to see it to shoot on goal more often than not.

Also moving our head and moving the camera and aim do not work at the same speed

Maybe mouse and keyboard controls are better?

What's the deal with their creative director?
A few weeks ago a resetera user shared that Jordan Layani, a Co-founder of Sloclap, follows a bunch of assholes on Twitter. I respect anyone who would disassociate with this dev, but I don't think this warrants boycotting as he follows 550+ other people, alongside prominent progressives.

For shooting yes, its way better with KBM, but everything else feels weird, at least to me.

For now I have difficulty aiming the shots, so I play more like a playmaker - Slow down the game, dribble and make sure to pass the ball to others players when I see an opening on their end. Also I position myself more at the back because everyone likes to run to the fucking goal as soon as we regain possession of the ball.

It's pretty satisfying.

That sucks. Thanks for the reply.

After 25 hours in I'm feeling like there are a few things I like more about Rematch:

1. Playing an actual footballer ties me closer to my own experiences on the pitch irl. Rocket cars are fun and give much more vertical freedom at higher levels, but it pulls further from the actual sport naturally.

2. I enjoy 1 on 1s much more in Rematch. Single button presses for multiple different options, with multiple defensive options too. I still feel like I have dozens of hours more to improve on beating out another player.

3. Sweeper keeper is tricky to learn but I think much better (and more realistic) than the constant goalie rotation of RL. It allows for teams to have a dedicated goalie if they so choose, and the infinite boost makes for super interesting swapping strategies.

Overall I still think it is imperfect, but I'm so glad Rematch exists between FIFA and RL.
