I’m enjoying this a lot, despite being absolutely horrendous at it. I think once Sloclap push out a few fixes to what is still currently a glorified beta it’s got the potential to be the new Rocket League, which has been my go-to game for the last decade.

That said, I’m having an absolute mare with the controls. Not so much how to control my player, but in terms of the sheer panic when I’ve got the ball and other players are bearing down on me. My fingers go to shit and I rarely pull off what I was attempting.

Anyone else having fun with the game, while also being terrible at it?

I’ve been loving Rematch. It’s so far outside the norm of what I would typically play but I’m having a blast. For me, the controls have taken time to get used to but I think it’s just because I don’t play games like this ever. The more I’ve played (and I’m playing a ton), the better I get. The controls are becoming more natural and I’m starting to develop muscle memory. It’s very satisfying consistently getting better.

For me, switching to 3v3 made a big difference. It forced me to get better because I was handling the ball way more often.

My biggest issues now are teammates never passing and terrible goalkeepers. I’m constantly seeing people leave the box empty and just take the ball downfield. I just hop into the goal every time it happens but it’s annoying seeing this sort of selfish playing. Teams that treat it as a full on cooperative team sport are always more successful. And even if we lose those games, it’s just so much more fun working together.

It's wild how little passing there is. Almost every time 2 or 3 passes are strung together, there's a goal. But very few people seem to understand that yet.

It's always very clear who's actually played 5-a-side in real life before. Anyone who played like 90% of Rematch players in a proper game would get an absolute bollocking from their teammates.

Its definitely hard to pick up and get good at controlling the ball and having spacial awareness. My issue is that regardless of having just picked up the game they try to learn the mechanics while 2v1 at midfield.

When I started I played back and let the game unfold until I had a plan of attack. Passing the ball around, jumping in to goalkeep, covering the open man, basic stuff. Im level 30 now and every time I've got level 1 teammates they basically throw the game trying to do rainbow flicks and juke out the entire defense while I'm standing in goal wide open. YOU ARE NOT HIM!

Having even the most basic understanding of actual soccer makes you a god in this game just about. I have been loving it so far. I just hope people trying it out get good teammates to show them how great the game can be.

Until it gets a robust single player I'm not bothering with it, which is unfortunate

It actually looks so much fun but broke me doesn't have a job to buy it. Glad you are having fun. Genuinely hope the fifa playerbase gives this game a chance.

It's on Gamepass if that makes any difference.
