Mastering Rematch: 9 Essential Tips for Beginners

1. Master Your Character’s Movement

Your avatar’s body mechanics—from acceleration and stopping to jumping and intercepting—are as important as the ball. Spend time in Freeplay or Quick Matches to internalize these nuances

2. Choose the Right Match Format

Start with 3v3 to sharpen individual skills, then scale up to 4v4 and 5v5 to focus more on team tactics and positioning

3. Communicate Effectively

Use voice chat when possible—or easily signal with “Ball Call” to indicate you’re open for a pass. Team coordination makes a huge difference

4. Contribute Beyond Goals

Early on, don’t stress about scoring. Focus on effective passing, intercepting, and support plays—Rematch rewards all useful actions

5. Prioritize Ball Control

Learn to receive and control the ball by repeatedly using the Push Ball command and entering Dribble Stance (L2). Consistent touches lead to better possession

6. Use the Walls to Your Advantage

The arena’s walls are part of your strategy—bounce passes, create volleys, or escape defenders with smart angles

7. Be Prepared to Make Saves

Positions rotate dynamically in Rematch. Anyone can become the goalkeeper—be ready to jump in and defend when needed

8. Adjust Camera Speed on Controller

Controller users: increase camera speed in Settings → Gameplay. A faster view helps you keep track of the ball and surrounding players

9. Use “Extra Effort” Smartly

Double-tap sprint to activate stamina-free Extra Effort. This burst helps with ball recovery, positioning, and faster plays—use it strategically

These core tips are key to getting comfortable in Rematch. Once you can move naturally, communicate clearly, and master these basics, you’ll be well-equipped to explore advanced strategies—like shot timing, curve kicking, and team formations.
