How To Control The Ball In Rematch
How To Control A Ball That’s Hard To Reach & Most Common Method
The most common way to control the ball inRematchand at leasttake a touch, even when it’s slightlyout of reach, is with thePush Ball button.
Players should press this when ablue diamondis shownaround the ball. The ball can be on the floor or in the air, as the ball can be headed down. Adirection should also be inputtedwith theLeft Stick or WASD.
There aredownsides to this control method, however, as the ball is technically pushed away, and playersmay unintentionally play it into an opponent; however, this touch isfairly smalland great in many cases. If the ball is bouncing over you, this mechanic is needed as theplayer will jump up to control the ball.
Players can practice controlling the ball in freeplay by booting it away and recalling it with the Right Stick or the Middle Mouse Button.
How To Control A Ball In Mid-Air (Lob Push Ball)
If the ball is in mid-air, andplayers want to keep it in the air, perhaps to avoid a slide tackle, they should use theLob Push Ballmechanic. This is also therainbow flick button.
The player willjump to meet the ball if it’s high, or they mayflick it up with their feet. As with the normal Push Ball, adirection input is needed. This could make the player flick it over their own head or to the side of an opponent.
This can be great when you’re about to receive a long ball, but a defender is right next to you. Ideally, you’dflick or head it over themand get past.
How To Control A Ball Coming To Your Feet
When players can see that the ball iscoming directly to their feet or chest, and they arefacing the ball, there are two buttons to perfectly control the ball and have itstick to their feet.
This is theSkill Stance, and sets players up perfectly for dribbling the ball, perhaps with some skills, allowing them toavoid tackles inRematch.
