WhileRematchis still great when played alone, especiallyin ranked mode, it is arguably at its best when played with friends. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, there isno cross-play currently, meaning that players can only team up with friends on the same platform for now, but thisfeature is a priorityfor Sloclap.
For those on the same platform, this guide will explain how toadd friends onRematchand play with them.
How To Add Friends On Rematch & Invite Them To Your Squad
To invite friends onRematchto your squad, open up thesocial tab in the top left corner. Here, players canadd up to four existing friends to their squadand then enter quick matches or ranked together. Use theplus iconsor open up the friends list.
Invites can also be seen in the social tab.
Can You Add New Friends On Rematch?
Currently, the only way to add players as friends onRematchis to go to Friends List, then switch to the Recent tab, andadd players from your previous gamesas friends.
Otherwise, players will need toadd friends on their respective platformsto have them as friends inRematch. For example,players on Steam will need to add their friends on Steam. This is the same for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC Game Pass.
Thisshould change once cross-play is added, allowing players to add friends from other platforms.
How To Practice With Friends In Rematch (Custom Matches)
While friends and squad memberscannot currently join the same freeplay sessions, there is still a way to practice together.
Custom games allow players to make their ownprivate lobbies and set their own rules. For example, players canpractice scoringand goalkeeping 1 vs 1 against a friend. Two players can also go on thesame team with no opponentsto practice passing and crossing together.
How To Make Custom Matches
Custom matches are created from the main menu. There are two options:CreateandJoin With Code. Within the Create Option, players canset the number of playersand spectators.
The rules can also be altered, andif players are looking to practice, it’s best to set thetime to 20, the goals to reach to 0, and themercy rule goal difference to 0, allowing for long,uninterrupted training sessions.
Inviting Friends To Custom Matches
When everything is set up,click Create Game in the bottom right. This will create a lobby with a6-digit codein the top left.
Players can then send this code to their friends or read it out to them, to use in theJoin With Codemenu.
After a custom game, don’t forget to invite your friends to the squad before queuing up. It’s easy to accidentally queue without them.
