If you’re well-versed in FIFA and EA Sports FC, diving into Rematch can initially feel like a departure. Although the control system is user-friendly after a bit of practice, adapting to this fresh gameplay style can be challenging.
Even basic actions, such as dribbling, may seem awkward as you adjust your football instincts. Mastering dribble techniques adds another level of complexity to gameplay.
While Rematch includes a tutorial feature to introduce some skills, the rapid pace can leave you wanting for more comprehensive instruction. If you didn’t quite grasp everything on your first attempt, rest assured you’re not alone.
To ensure you maximize your experience with Rematch, let’s dive deeper together. I’ll also highlight a unique dribbling skill that the tutorial overlooks, which could give you a strategic advantage over your competitors. Visual learners will appreciate accompanying video clips as we explore these techniques in one of the year’s most thrilling AA games.
Start your journey from the main menu by activating the free practice mode. Spending some time here can help you familiarize yourself with the controls, especially if you’re finding the transition challenging before heading into online matches.
Directional Moves
Directional moves are fundamental to your dribbling strategy.To execute these, hold down L2, press X, and maneuver the left stick in the desired direction of the ball.
Although mastering this takes a bit of time, it’s essential for outmaneuvering defenders. Straightforward dribbling won’t suffice in Rematch.
When facing an approaching defender, you can choose to move left or right. If a defender attempts to tackle you head-on, retreat by using this move backwards. If an opponent closes in from the side, pivot downfield to throw them off balance and quickly regain control of the ball.
Bear in mind that repeatedly using these moves will deplete your stamina, so use them wisely.
Rainbow Kick
The rainbow kick is a classic maneuver that every aspiring footballer might want to showcase. Fortunately, it’s incorporated into Rematch and can be very effective.
This skill involves flicking the ball behind your player and launching it gracefully over your head, continuing down the field.
This move is particularly useful for swiftly eluding a defender, allowing you to seize control of the ball before they realize what’s happening.
To perform a rainbow kick in Rematch, simply hold R1 and press X while directing the ball towards your desired path. With good timing, you can transition directly into a shot just before the ball lands.
Juggling
This juggling technique is a noteworthy skill that the tutorial doesn’t cover. With precise timing, you can keep the ball in play while advancing down the pitch.
This skill proves valuable for confusing defenders and gracefully lofting the ball over multiple opponents. Similar to the rainbow kick, you can also initiate a volley shot while juggling; simply press R2 to shoot before the ball touches the ground, potentially catching the goalkeeper off guard.
To juggle, begin with a standard rainbow kick by holding R1 and pressing X. After the ball bounces once, keep holding R1 and press X again when the ball glows green, starting your juggling sequence.
Continue to follow the ball, maintaining R1, and tap X every time the ball drops in front of you and flashes green.
