It suuuucks as a football game. Controls like ass.
Someone bring back PES or cook up a replacement, please. I'm tired of these shitty football games.

IMO, PES was always so much better than FIFA. Matches were slow, measured, low-scoring exercises in passing and breaking down defences. FIFA always felt like a game, whereas PES was a simulation. I’ve not played either of their descendants for years, but I’ve watched my girlfriend’s kid play FC25 and it seems far more like fucking Pokémon than a football game.
Rematch on the other hand is something else. It’s not a football game, despite its appearance. It’s a future-sports game, like Rocket League or Speedball 2. I’m enjoying it from that perspective.
Agree with the controls though, but I’m still putting that down to my own skill issues.

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.

Works fine for me. What’s your problem with it?

I’m tempted to try it out as an avid Rocket League player.
I’m just not sure there is something in Rematch that I cannot already get somehow in Rocket League.

“What a save!”
I can think of a few things RL has that can’t be found in Rematch. Yet.
