Even to a football agnostic, multiplayer sports game Rematch offers an exciting and acrobatic contest of skill. Brilliant, for as long as it doesn't crash.
Agree with PES being a really good football simulation. I always viewed FIFA as a cynical and jaded attempt at arcadifying football—never really been my cup of tea.
I can’t be bothered with the camera management in Rematch. It sucks so bad the game literally tells you get used to no look passing/shooting because you won’t have time to adjust your camera. Even when I kinda got used to it and got to score a few goals, I didn’t feel any satisfaction—it felt too silly.
I haven’t played any of the recent FIFA games but I remember the last one that played had truly awful AI. I never understood why they didn’t have a mode where you could have multiple players controlling different team members. This game actually seems to have that. In fact from the trailer it seems that this might be exclusively multiplayer which is an interesting idea.
Although this game is a football game in the same way Balatro is a poker game

Older PES games had that and it was super fun before Konami’s pachinko machine addiction lead to the franchise’s gradual demise.
Rematch is exclusively multiplayer, yes.
